We were working with Dr. Cabrera's team to perform the gastric sleeve on my daughter and it was an excellent service. 100% recommended without a doubt. The nurses were very attentive and the doctor and Karina explained all the processes to us in detail without leaving us any doubts. Without a doubt I recommend their services. Coordination is excellent from the airport to the hotel team. The best experience.
