Fabiola Moreno García · Umbilical hernia surgery Sep 2025

My name is Fabiola Moreno García, I'm 45 years old, and I had an incarcerated umbilical hernia that started bothering me. I visited Dr. Gabriel Rosales, and he immediately treated me, asked me questions, and examined my hernia. He also guided me to make the best decision regarding what needed to be done (studies, analysis, X-rays, evaluation, surgery). The care I received from him was truly excellent. Once I had the evaluation, the surgical procedure was performed. He was always available via text messages before, during, and after the operation. My recovery was very satisfactory, with the appropriate care and recommendations. I definitely recommend seeing Dr. Gabriel Rosales if you're having any difficulties like me... 100% recommended. 😀
