There are many outpatient clinics, surgery centers, and other names used to describe an office where Gastric Sleeve Surgeries are performed in Tijuana.  In the event of an emergency during surgery; many of these centers are not equipped properly should a major problem occur.  Some examples include a heart defibrillator, blood supply should you need an emergency transfusion, emergency imaging for Ultrasound, CT, and MRI,  intensive care unit (ICU), and most importantly medical specialists on-site for emergency situations.  

Emergency services cost money.  Many surgery centers are able to avoid these costs by not having the services and facilities available in-case there is an emergency.  This is the primary reason for the fluctuation in price offered by different surgeons and surgery centers.

There are several surgery centers in Tijuana that employee dozens of surgeons for the purpose of performing hundreds of Gastric Sleeve Surgeries every month.  These centers will often advertise under the umbrella of the reputation of a well known surgeon.  However, when patients investigate more closely they will discover that they will have to pay a much higher price to reserve that particular surgeon.  These organizations pay their surgeons a fraction of what more reputable surgeons charge because they lack the experience and may or may not be qualified.  It is commonplace for these groups to allow new surgeons to practice and learn the procedure on their patients.  We do not recommend patients gamble in this manner with their health and choose a renowned reputable surgeon such as Dr Kuri.
