Surgeons and doctors
Dr. Elias Garcia Flores
Bariatric Surgeon · 20+ years in practice
Dr. Elias Garcia Flores is a bariatric and general surgeon in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. He is associated with Obesity Makeover, which describes its work as including bariatric procedures and general surgery. The practice reports that Dr. Garcia Flores has more than 20 years of experience in bariatric surgery. His listed areas of practice include obesity surgery and laparoscopic surgery; profiles also identify gastric sleeve surgery, gastric bypass, and laparoscopic gastric sleeve procedures among his areas of expertise. A profile listing his education reports that he studied medicine at Universidad Autónoma de Baja California in Mexicali, completed a general surgery residency at Hospital General de Mexicali, and took an advanced laparoscopy course through the Mexican Association of Endoscopic Surgery. The same listing reports that he is certified by the Mexican Board of General Surgery and names professional associations related to endoscopic, bariatric, and metabolic surgery. Dr. Garcia Flores practices at Unidad Médica Garciterra in Mexicali. Obesity Makeover lists the clinic at Francisco I. Madero 2010, Colonia Nueva. A physician directory describes personalized patient care and postoperative follow-up in hospital and outpatient settings. Its profile also notes that the clinic has nutrition support. These details describe services and background reported in the cited profiles; they do not establish individual treatment outcomes.
Education: Medical education at Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (UABC), Mexicali; General surgery residency at Hospital General de Mexicali; Advanced laparoscopy course through the Mexican Association of Endoscopic Surgery
Certifications: Reported as certified by the Mexican Board of General Surgery
Memberships: Mexican Association of Endoscopic Surgery; Mexican School of Bariatric Surgery; International Society of Bariatric Surgery
Dr. Fernando Aguirre Romero
General Physician
Dr. Fernando Aguirre Romero is listed on Doctoralia as a general physician in Mexicali, Baja California. The profile says he studied medicine at the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California and lists treatment for overweight and obesity among his services. Obesity Makeover is identified in the supplied profile information as a clinic in Mexicali offering bariatric and other surgical procedures. However, the available clinic description does not name Aguirre Romero, so it does not establish that he works there or performs those procedures. The available information therefore supports a limited description of his general-medicine listing, but not confirmation of bariatric-surgeon credentials or experience.
Education: Medical degree, Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (as reported on Doctoralia)
Dr. Gabriel Corona Chávez
Bariatric Surgeon
Dr. Gabriel Corona Chávez is identified in the provided information as a bariatric surgeon associated with Obesity Makeover in Mexicali. The available profile text and search results do not provide details that can be confidently linked to him by name. His education, certifications, experience, languages, and specific procedures therefore cannot be established from these sources. One search result describes an unnamed bariatric surgeon in Mexicali, but it does not identify Dr. Corona Chávez or Obesity Makeover, so its claims are not attributed to him here.
