Recently sep/2024 had surgery here at Ricardo Vega and could not be more impressed by the whole process. Every single person I came in contact with was amazing. Everything went super smoothly and I cannot say enough about the quality of care I received. Do your research and you will see BY FAR this place is the best of the best The process from start to finish was clear, supportive, and thorough. The support of Fatima front desk is incredible and an amazing resource of helping . Crossing the border was very easy (they arranged my hotel and home support and while in Mexico . I never felt unsafe. Ever. You start by getting your blood work , then meeting…
Jordan O. · Gastric sleeve; previously had a lap band removed May 2024
OCC is a step above everywhere else! This is my 3rd surgery with OCC over the last 14 years. I had a lap band 12/29/2010, with no problems and everything was awesome. I went back a few time for adjustments over the years. I lost about 70 lbs and would vary over the years +/- 20lbs. On April 2, 2022 something happened and the band slipped, nothing would pass, not even my own saliva. I called OCC and was in surgery the very next day. They removed the band and another awesome experience. However being free over the last 2 years I had gained back 74lbs and it was time to call OCC to make the appointment for the Sleeve.…
Sativa R. · Gastric sleeve Jul 2024
I had gastric sleeve surgery on 6/27/2024 and it took 20-25 minutes. I was at the mall the next day getting my steps in. I feel like a new girl. Dr. Ortiz and all of the staff at OCC exceeded my expectations. The hospital was immaculate. The staff was patient, knowledgeable and kind. The only regret is that I waited so long to have it done. I did 3 years of research and everywhere else I could find something wrong with but not OCC and Dr. Ortiz they were flawless. I will recommend without hesitation to go to OCC and Dr. Ortiz. I still am getting follow up care and education and that is great. Thank you to the entire…

I had surgery at OCC in January of 2022. The care I received was great, everyone came in to introduce themselves (except Dr. Ortiz) but he was the lead surgeon on my procedure according to my paperwork. My only "complaint" is that I received little to no follow-up support. My pre and early post-op direction was very well laid out but once I was on "real food" any time I asked for help I would get a canned response and I could tell they didn't even check my chart because they kept recommending things like greek yogurt and cottage cheese when its clear on my records I have an allergy to all dairy. I was feeling really low and unsupported…

OCC was the absolute best. I have felt supported from the first contact with them. The facility is beautiful and clean and the entire staff is very attentive. My husband for very concerned about me going to a surgical facility in Mexico but he was completely impressed also. I would highly recommend OCC and the Marriott and their staff.

First and foremost I want to start this review by saying 1. I have zero regrets about OCC, 2. OCC is the best, hands down. Clean and beautiful place. They take care of everything. 3. Dr. Ortiz, Dr. Martinez, and Lucia - all incredible, kind people. That being said I want to share my story so people can make an informed decision. No intent to dissuade, and understand my results are very uncommon and unique to my own health issues. The process from start to finish was clear, supportive, and thorough. The support groups on Facebook are incredible and an amazing resource. Crossing the border was very easy (they arranged for pick up at the SD airport) and transportation while…

After battling my weight for 25+ years and trying every known diet and fad diet on the market, I was fed up and desperate to get the weight off for good. I started looking into bariatric surgery options for myself and that's when found Dr. Ariel Ortiz and the OCC. After extensive research, I knew with 100% certainty that they were going to be my choice. Not only is Dr. Ortiz a double Board Certified surgeon, but he is the only one that created and performs the DBT (Double Buttress Technique) that reinforces the staple line of the stomach during surgery to prevent any gastric leakage, which is exactly what I was so terrified of after having witnessed my mom…
Rachel S. · Sleeve surgery Sep 2021
I started doing my research on the best doctors for weight loss surgery the beginning of 2021. I live in the US, but my research said Dr Ortiz & Dr. Martinez with OCC in Tijuana are the best. From the moment I contacted the clinic I was very well taken care of and my questions were always replied to and answered quickly. My sleeve surgery was 5/24/21. I travelled alone and was never afraid. Everyone was so kind and helpful; even at the Marriott. The first day after surgery was the hardest but even so it's been my easiest surgical recovery. After that first day i never felt like I had even had surgery. My starting weight was 225, my…

At 21 years old I had gained 80 pounds in one year! I was devastated when I stepped on the scale and I felt so at a loss and out of control. I wasn't at the requirement for gastric surgery is California but lord knows I didn't want to have to get worse before I could get better. I worked 2 jobs and opened up 2 credit cards to go to Mexico a month later and receive surgery! I am at my goal weight and have been for about 4 years. You changed my life and my relationship with food and health. Thank you so much!
