At first the thought of getting anything surgical done in Tijuana was terrifying. I mean with all the negative press and stories of missing body parts you hear. I really needed both my kidneys. Not to mention the fear of getting kidnapped. I was leaving my four kids at home in Texas and taking my 7 month old. I didn't want to be on YouTube! But fear aside my hubby and I figured that Mexican medical tourism is a big source of income for Tijuana. I am sure the police (who are oddly enough are your biggest harassers) and drug lords must have some sort of agreement set up. I also spoke Spanish so that would help. But I wore a head scarf...ummm they would probably think I was a fashionable nun, lol.
We chose Hospital Jerusalem to get our procedure done. Trust me, we did the research. We saw the good, the bad, and the ugly regarding the hospital....which isn't a hospital. It is more like a clinic. It is located in the Centro Centro of Tijuana. Perfectly good place. The clinic is nestled in a strip mall next to Office Depot and a cleaning supplies company. This was a comfort to me because It meant the clinic would never be without cleaning supplies therefore it would always be clean. I was right. It was fresh smelling and looked very nice. Dr. Almanza was very nice and thorough. His English was very good. There staff was very friendly but not all spoke english. The hotel you recover in is also very nice. I knew three other people that recommended Hospital Jerusalem and it fit perfectly in our budget. You also get a $500 discount if you go with a group of 3 or more :-)
