1 Recent Metabolic surgery Review in Mexico: Check Real Patient Experience

Gordon Lew • Diabetes mellitus treatment with Canada Jun 3, 2024

Verified review.
I will not hesitate again to recommend her to any of my friends and family
At first I was hesitant for the treatment in Mexico but after the meeting with doctor Isabella, my entire perspective changed. She is very knowledgeable, professional and personable. She will explain the treatment and procedure with you in detail. I will not hesitate again to recommend her to any of my friends and family. She will perform the procedure in the comfort of your own residency without having to travel to the clinic. This is very accommodating as it minimizes the interruption if or when you are on vacation. I will be following up with her in the coming months as she is now my go to doctor.
