Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

This is the place I would've stayed at for the first half of my stay in TJ, but unfortunately I was already pushing the budget so I couldn't stay here :( I REALLY wanted to though.
? Pre/Post Op Vitamins (http://www.makemeheal.com/mmh/product.do?id=13511)
These are the vitamins I took.
? Name Your Price on Priceline! (http://www.priceline.com)
I actually do this for everything from hotels to flights. My round trip airfare from DFW to San Diego was $198, Marriott in TJ $80 a night, and Sheraton San Diego Bay and Marina (4 stars!) $75 a night. Highly recommend doing your booking this way, but it is a VERY TEDIOUS process on actually getting it as low as you can. I had to attempt my price every day, close the window and re-open and re-enter everything to avoid compromise on location and stars, etc. Same with flights. You gotta check every day and see if the regular price drops then you attempt to name your price. Like I said its a pain in the ass, but there's a technique to it :)

Surgery In TJ General Info and Tips ? Bring...
Surgery In TJ General Info and Tips
? Bring American pain killers! Codeine's will become your best friend.
? Stock up on bottled water before or during your stay. There's a Wal-Mart, a trustworthy atm, and a nice shopping plaza two blocks from the Marriott so I recommend staying there.
? Bring wet wipes! It's always good to take extra precautions and clean the area around your incisions.
? Tell the boyfriend/travel buddy to bring a laptop or tablet pc on the big day so that they don't die of boredom in the waiting room. There's an open wifi connection at Dr. Campos clinic and it's a 6 hour long surgery.
? Take lots of pre/post of vitamins. There's one in particular that I took that helped with the scarring and healing. Inbox me for the info.
? Use common sense. Don't antagonize the locals and walk around at night. And don't give the Mexican MP a reason to f with you.
? Try to use taxi's that are called by the hotel and clinic.
? Choose a flight that has at least one stop for the flight back home. Your butt will thank you for it. I used the Name-Your-Price thing for my flight and hotels. Saved a lot actually, but it's a very tedious process to get as low as you can.
? Stay in San Diego the last night. Any unexpected border crossing delays can cause you to miss your flight home. My way back across the border had a 2 hour delay.
? Lots of $1 bills for tipping the hotel people, room service, taxi drivers, etc. A $4-$5 tip is generous.
? Walk, but don't kill yourself. Walking will help expedite the healing process and will keep you less miserable. I walked to Wal-Mart and to the shopping plaza every day and went to the San Diego Zoo on my 5th or 6th? day. Just make sure to keep hydrated because I almost passed out at the Zoo. Seriously, I got dizzy and my vision became blurry and static like so I had to sit on a bench and chug a bottle of water then I was fine.
? Bring clothes that are at least 2 sizes bigger. You will be swollen.
? Bring or buy gauze, surgical or double sided booby tape, and a small, catheter like funnel so you don't soil your compression garment when you pee.
? You will be constipated for a couple days... By the time your bowels decide to move, you'll be able to undo the compression garment temporarily to do your business.
If I think of anything else, I'll make sure to post! :) :) :)

Provider Review
The Dr. is definitely a master at his work and has an artistic eye as well. It's one thing for a surgeon to have tons of experience, but he has to also be great at what he does. This Dr. definitely has both quality and quantity when it comes to his experience and caliber. Also his staff made me feel very comfortable and I trusted them instantly.
