Dr. Rodriquez in Acuna Mexico - - anyone?

Has anyone here used Dr. Rodriquiz before? Was it good or bad? Please tell me ANY info you have about him.

His price is only $7,300 .... which seems very cheap to me. It is so cheap that it worries me.

Thanks in advance,

Sherri

Hi!

Welcome! I'm sorry that I don't know anything whatsoever about Dr. Rodriquez, but I think you might have answered your own question. Do you really want to put your life in the hands of the very least expensive doctor possible?

Do your research. Talk directly to people who know this doctor. Ask his staff if prior US patients will e-mail you and share their story. Make sure what kind of band he uses, because some US docs won't touch any Mexican patient, but especially one with bands besides Inamed. Find out exactly what the price includes. See if other people have incurred "hidden" charges which must be paid before they went home. Talk directly to him, and see if he speaks good English...you can't follow instructions if you can't understand them.

I don't work for him, but I can happily recommend Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. I had surgery on July 5, and it has been smooth sailing since. But it took me a while to make the decision.

Good luck!

I just wanted to tell you that there are 2 Dr. Rodreiguez's in Mexico. The one I am looking at is in Monterrey and he has done over 4000 surgeries. I have listed his web sites for you to take a look at.

Best wishes with who you decide.

I used Dr Jose Rodriguez in acuna. It was a wonderful experience. Everyone was very nice and freindly. I returned home aug3. They have an excellent patient advocate

Barbara that picks you at airport and is with the entire time. If you this doctor you will

not be sorry. My surgery went well they placed 9.75cm band Inamed. It was a total

great experience. The doctor is a specialist in his field. I'm looking forward to my new

life. You can email me direct. kathy-daniel@excite.com

Good luck it is doing something great for you
