Very professional and courteous. Since the first time we talked, we have had detailed information about everything. From the Dr to all the personnel working with him. I made the right choice in choosing my procedure with him and his Associates. Made me feel really comfortable about all the procedures. I strongly recommend Dr Francisco Barrera and his colleagues.👍👍👍👍

Nydia was wonderful answering all my questions and guiding me literally every single step of the way! Not to mention upon my arrival she was wonderful!

Dr. Barrera is an excellent Surgeon. He explained everything about my gastric Sleeve surgery in simple words and always checking on after. Surgery. Also Nydia his assistant make all the process very easy and simple, from my first appointment to the hospital admission until my departure. Also after arriving home she’s happy to assist. I have a wonderful experience with Dr. Barrera and his entire team.
We had a great experience. My girlfriend had lap band removal surgery on June 16, 2023. The staff was so friendly and attentive. The surgery went smoothly and her recovery was fast. She was suffering a lot with vomiting and acid reflux due to a slipped band. It was expensive and difficult to find a bariatric surgeon in the USA to do the removal. Thankfully we found Dr. Barrera in Monterrey. We did an online consultation right away and were very impressed. We scheduled surgery and Nydia Barrera helped make all the arrangements. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott nearby and we drove our own vehicle. I would recommend to take a bus or plane, if you are not experienced…
