I admit I was really nervous about going to Tijuana for surgery. But after researching it I decided it was the way to go! Was cheaper and much easier process than here in the states! Was really interesting,like a vacation! The rooms had huge windows with great views. Was in and out of surgery. And was treated pretty well just like in the states! Even once in the hotel,the 24 hours nurses at the hotel were wonderful. The only things I would like to see improved is that the nurse call buttons don't work. And the toilet doesn't have grip bars to assist getting up and down after surgery. Oh and would be nice if we saw the surgeon again after surgery. I only saw him just before surgery and never again. Other than that was great and the nurses are great. I am 2 months post op now and would totally do it again and recommend them and I do to everybody.
