An exceptional doctor. I had the experience of his bariatric service; he performed a gastric bypass on me, followed by gallbladder surgery. Extraordinary wisdom and a human being with a huge heart.

My Experience with Dr. Navarrete and His Team:

I wanted to leave a detailed review by sharing exactly how the process worked for me. I began by doing extensive research on hernia repair—looking into the different procedures, risks, and expected outcomes. I compared multiple providers in the U.S., Mexico, Costa Rica, and elsewhere.

After narrowing it down, I reached out to a few options, and Dr. Navarrete and his team (especially Ivan) stood out immediately. They were responsive, thorough, and highly professional from the very first interaction.

They explained the entire process step by step—from landing in San Diego, to transportation across the border, to the surgery at Blue Hospital in Tijuana, and finally my return. In reality, everything happened exactly as they described. No surprises, no confusion—just smooth, well-organized care.

Dr. Navarrete, his medical team, the nursing staff, and everyone at Blue Hospital exceeded every expectation. I truly could not have asked for a better experience.

They all earn the highest recommendation I can give.
Forever grateful.
