Drs. Jose Curiel and Mario Camelo with Medical Tourism Co?

[CandyPants81 94]

Hi all. I'm a new(ish) member but I've been stalking the forum for ages. I've found SOOOOO much useful information here and have heard great things about many doctors. I recently reached out to a company called Medical Tourism Co, and they sent me information regarding two doctors: Dr. Jose Curiel, and Dr. Mario Camelo and I can't seem to find a whole lot of reviews on either. Also the San Juan clinic in Tijuana seems to be lacking in information as well. Has anyone had any experience with either of these doctors or with the San Juan clinic? What about Medical Tourism Co? Any information would be appreciated. I'm still in the planning/saving stages, but I'm just about ready to put down a deposit with one company/surgeon or another so that I can set a date for surgery.

Thanks guys,

C.

I am booked through Medical Tourism to have my surgery on the 30th. I was first scheduled with Dr. Curiel at Jerusalem Hospital but recently switched to Dr. Ramos. Mainly because of the facility. It was difficult finding information on both but I did find more on Dr. Curiel. I mainly asked question through my coordinator, Hazel Ramos, to get info. It seems like there are a handful that are very popular and some that are not so popular but just as qualified. I feel confident in my decision and would had been happy with either one. Dr. Ramos will performing my surgery at Florence Hospital and their motel is on the 4th floor of the hospital, since I am traveling alone this appealed to me.

Thank you for your response. You're right...there are a few names that continue to pop up over and over again, and not much on Curiel or Camelo. I will continue to look as I have another week or two before I am ready to schedule, but it does seem that the more I research, the farther away I am from having a clear choice.

I am being sleeved on the 30th with Dr. Camelo at Florence Hospital. I will let you know how it goes.

That would be great! I'm looking forward to reading about your experience. Good luck to you.

@@Stacy'sSleevedLife Hi! I have seen that many people have gone to Jerusalem Hospital and had a good experience, but there are some reviews out there that bother me, and the setup of Jerusalem "Hospital" is not appealing to me at all. I'm glad for those who had a good experience there, but it's not for me. I wouldn't be comfortable there and I'm not interested in having my surgery there. On the Medical Tourism Co website, they list that Dr. Curiel would be performing surgery out of San Juan Clinic (Clinica San Juan), but I can't find much info on that facility besides a few pictures. The pictures look really nice, but I'd love to see/read reviews of someone who's actually been there. If I can't find any reviews about this place, I won't be going there either. Still, if you have some information that might help me settle on a surgeon or facility (or decide against one or the other) I'm happy to receive that. I'm still in the research phase.

Thanks,

C.
