MNewberg 0 Posted August 16, 2016 I am thinking of going to Mexico too for surgery. There are about 8 names that keep coming up in my checking. How did you guys decide who to use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pegrae 88 Posted August 16, 2016 I check references called patients and decided on dr. Illan bariatric pal team mexico. If Alex B. Founder of this site supports him it was good enough for me. BEST decision ever! BILL YANEZ is coordinator for team mexico. Tell him I sent you, he will take great care of you. Personal service no big business feeling.
