I’m Dr. Enrique Pliego Esquivel, a surgeon specializing in bariatric and metabolic surgery with over 8 years of experience transforming lives through advanced surgical solutions. I am proud to be one of the few bariatric surgeons in Mexico who is a member of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). I am also certified by the Mexican Board of Obesity Surgery and the Mexican College of General Surgery.
My primary focus is providing comprehensive care to patients dealing with obesity, obesity-related conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as managing complications from bariatric surgery. I also treat gastroesophageal reflux and reflux-related esophagitis, offering tailored solutions that significantly enhance my patients' quality of life.
Patients often highlight my professionalism, empathy, and dedication to understanding their unique needs. I take the time to listen and fully grasp their goals because I believe every case deserves a personalized approach and a clear path toward success.
My priority isn’t to see the most patients—it’s to deliver exceptional care and outstanding results for each individual. I am deeply committed to quality, staying accessible, and maintaining close communication with my patients throughout their journey.
If you’re looking for expertise, compassion, and results you can trust, I’m here to help you take the first step toward a healthier, happier life.
