Surgery in Tijuana, step by step

We know crossing the border for surgery sounds daunting. That's why we're with you at every stage of the journey — from before you leave home to your follow-up back home.

  1. 1

    Before the trip

    From the very first moment, a coordinator gets in touch with you to organize and review every detail of your trip. They present your options for lodging and post-operative recovery, and answer your questions before you leave home. You're not alone in the planning.

  2. 2

    Initial evaluation

    It all starts with a free video evaluation. No cost and no obligation to travel: first you understand your case and your options, and only then do you decide.

    Coordination

    Once you decide, your coordinator takes care of every detail, in direct communication with you: organizing the trip, your transfer to our facilities, and your movement within Tijuana. You focus on your recovery; we handle the logistics.

  4. 4

    Lodging

    We have partnerships with the best hotels in the city. More than a place to sleep: quality, warmth, good food, a spa and wellness center — everything you need so your medical trip is also a rest.

  5. 5

    Transfer & border crossing

    We know crossing the border is one of the biggest concerns. That's why, if you prefer, a member of our team picks you up at the San Diego, California airport and brings you to our facilities in Tijuana. You don't cross alone: we're with you along the way, so getting here is the easiest part of your treatment.

  6. 6

    Recovery

    After your surgery, you stay a few days in Tijuana for your immediate post-operative check-up. It's generally 3 to 5 days, though the time can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure. You recover at the hotel or recovery house, with close follow-up from our team and the doctor in person. You don't go home until it's safe to do so.

  7. 7

    Remote follow-up

    Your care doesn't end when you cross back. Once home, we continue your follow-up by video call, with flexible options for schedule and format to adapt to you. You stay accompanied, even from miles away.

Transparency

Clear costs, no surprises

Every case is different, so the cost depends on your specific procedure. In your video evaluation, we explain how your case is quoted, so you have a clear idea before making any decision. There are never hidden costs.
