About Tijuana

1. High-Quality Medical Care

Tijuana is home to some of the best bariatric surgeons in the world, including our own Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela, who has performed over 10,000 successful bariatric surgeries. The city’s hospitals and medical facilities are equipped with the latest technology and adhere to rigorous international standards. Many surgeons, like those at Do It Bariatrics, have been trained internationally and bring that expertise back to Tijuana, ensuring high standards of care and patient safety.

2. Affordability

One of the most compelling reasons patients choose Tijuana is the cost. In the U.S. and Canada, bariatric surgery can cost upwards of $20,000-$30,000, which is often not covered by insurance. In contrast, the cost of bariatric surgery in Tijuana is significantly lower, ranging from $4,000 to $6,000, depending on the procedure. This cost reduction does not mean a compromise in quality; it’s simply a result of lower operating costs and favorable exchange rates.

3. Shorter Wait Times

For many, waiting months or even years for surgery in their home country isn’t an option. In Tijuana, wait times are minimal. At Do It Bariatrics, we work with you to schedule your surgery at a time that suits you best, often within a few weeks of your decision. No more waiting lists, just timely care.

4. Convenient Location

Tijuana’s proximity to the U.S. border makes it an incredibly convenient location for American and Canadian patients. With multiple daily flights to and from major U.S. cities and a straightforward drive from Southern California, getting to Tijuana is both easy and affordable.

5. Comprehensive Care and Packages

Many medical tourism providers in Tijuana, including Do It Bariatrics, offer all-inclusive packages that cover everything from surgery to accommodation, local transportation, and even aftercare. This comprehensive approach means you can focus on your recovery without worrying about the logistics. At Do It Bariatrics, we prioritize your comfort and safety by providing VIP services, including private transportation, luxurious accommodations, and personalized care every step of the way.

6. A Supportive Community

Tijuana is more than just a destination; it’s a supportive hub for bariatric patients. From patient support groups to English-speaking healthcare professionals, you’ll find a community that understands your journey. At Do It Bariatrics, we offer an active online support group where you can connect with former patients, share experiences, and get advice from those who have been through the process.

7. Cultural Experience

Tijuana offers a rich cultural experience that adds a unique element to your medical journey. Enjoy local cuisine, vibrant arts, and crafts markets, or simply relax on the beautiful beaches. Many patients find that combining their surgery with a bit of leisure time helps reduce anxiety and provides a positive, holistic experience.
