The Perfect Location for Weight Loss Surgery
Many people choose Mexico for the pleasant climate and the laid-back vacation atmosphere of, what is quickly becoming a buzzword in our industry, Medical Tourism. Succesful patients from around the world are spreading the news about our state of the art facilities, board certified surgeon: Dr. Juan Francisco Hidalgo, as well as the breathtaking beaches that our resort town offers travelers. Vallarta has even been coined, “The friendliest city in Mexico.”
Puerto Vallarta is one of the leading destinations for Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Mexico because the city has an international airport and is far from the dangers of the border towns near the United States and Mexico border. There is no need to ride in an uncomfortably hot van, waiting for hours to cross the border traffic, when trying to go home from your surgery in Tijuana or any other border town - Puerto Vallarta has cheap flights from most cities in the United States, Canada and even Europe.
