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.

Who's Better? Baez or Pantoja!
Ok Ladies. Please shout out who you would go with to assist me in my decision. I have surgery scheduled with both of these very talented Drs!! Please let me know who YOU think would give me the better results and why! Patoja quoted 3800 Baez 3000. Who would you choose?
Initial email from Dr Pantoja
This is the initial info from Dr Pantoja office. Very professional so far! Responds quickly and able to get surgery date quickly! Spoke with Tonya( not sure if thats the proper spelling) and she was very nice!! **quotes and instructions are patient specific depending on your procedure**
The quote for this procedure is $3,800dlls. Once you make a surgery appointment we will require a $500dlls. deposit in order to hold and secure your date.

- Your own recovery room equipped with Patient's bed, armchair/lazy-boy, Wi-Fi, T.V., phone, bathroom utilities (shower and lavatory).
**Please note the following: A friend or family member is more than welcome to accompany you and stay in the clinic all day long and even stay in your room while you're in surgery. However, space is limited with the intention of giving the patient the needed attention. Therefore, at night-time the one accompanying you may stay at a hotel, just to have somewhere to sleep at (we don't have beds for family members). And in the morning he/she is welcome to stay at the clinic until your check-out, which is almost always at 10:00am the day after your surgery once you've had your breakfast, Dr. Pantoja has revised you and prescribed your medications. There are several nice hotels near by. 3 are within walking distance from our clinic.
- Patient's meals are provided (Fruit, Chicken Soup/Broth, etc).

1)Medication you need to take home for your recovery. (i.e. antibiotic, pain killers, muscle relaxers). This can be bought at any pharmacy in Mexico or be delivered to the clinic. The cost is approx. $120-$130 dollars since this is a two week treatment. NO REFILL NEEDED.
2) Nursing services outside of clinic.
3) Post-operative Massage Therapy. $40 dollars per session. (Fully Recommended)
Additional information about what to expect after your surgery:
You will need it about 2 weeks time off from work/school. It is imperative that when you return to your activities you do this under what is known as 'Light-duty' or with caution and wearing the girdle for the first 3-4 months. Doing this will support your back, posture, with swelling, and will aid in achieving the goal desired.
The anesthesia used is an Spinal Block and sedation. You don't feel anything, you don't be awake.
