From NZ to Tijuana for the best experience.  Although far from home I felt very well cared for by Dr Cabrera & his team. I would say to anyone thinking about going to go. You are in the best hands. You won't regret it. From day one it was go, from being admitted quickly, blood tests being done promptly & then being taken to your room & prepared well for the surgery so you have zero questions to ask. Dr Cabrera remained in contact with you in person to the very end.

Our Featured Procedures

Gastric Sleeve

Gastric sleeve removes about 80% of a patient's stomach to restrict the amount of food they can consume. Patients typically lose up to 75% of their excess body weight within two years.

Explore Gastric Sleeve

Gastric Bypass

Gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch to restrict the amount of food that can be consumed and reroutes the intestines to restrict the amount of calories the body can absorb. The result is healthy, consistent weight loss. We also offer mini gastric bypass.

Explore Gastric Bypass

Revision Surgery

If you've previously undergone bariatric surgery and you're not getting the results you'd hoped for, Dr. Cabrera can repair the effects of your bariatric surgery, reverse your surgery, or convert it into a procedure that will improve your results. Dr. Cabrera specializes in revision surgery.

Explore Revision Surgery

Gallbladder Removal

Gallbladder removal is a common surgery that is often recommended when a patient experiences gallstones, inflammation, or other conditions. Gallbladder removal can alleviate your pain and discomfort.

Explore Gallbladder Removal

Hernia Surgery

If you have a hernia, an organ pushes through the muscle or connective tissue that holds it in place. Hernia repair can push the bulging organ back into place and repair the connective tissue and muscle.

Reflux Surgery (Hiatal Hernia)

When the upper part of the stomach bulges through the diaphragm, it causes symptoms like acid reflux, heartburn, and abdominal discomfort. Our team can push the stomach back into place and reinforce the diaphragm.
