"2 years of "Monitoring" in our home country, being led down the WRONG path. 4 DAYS in Tijuana, MRIs, Panel testing, lumbar puncture and we have a clear diagnosis. The TEAM at Bajamed has reminded us that true medical professionals hear our concerns and not push them aside has been soul lifting. To finally understand that there is a surgical solution instead of the "Wait and See" approach has our complete trust in Bajamed. The financial cost is 100% reasonable , and knowing the true results are priceless. Knowing the plan going forward has given Gary a much needed boost of hope and encouragement. Bajamed has given Gary the quality of personal care that is needed. Upon arriving home he reflected on how much attention and how they cared about him. We will continue our journey with Bajamed because of the quality medical culture they have provided."

"My husband had a knee replacement 4 years ago with BajaMed Group. They did an amazing job which is why I chose BajaMed Group for my recent shoulder surgery. They went above and beyond. I have never had close to this level of care in Canada with any medical issues in my past. You can put your trust in BajaMed Group to know you will not only receive excellent medical services but beyond excellent care by their entire team! Liz Moore"

"We had a very positive experience with Bajamed, I am writing this review as a companion. We were taken care off from the time we landed in San Diego. The staff were all very kind and supportive, all of our reservations were put to rest. The surgery went well and all of our questions were always answered. I would not hesitate to recommend this group to anyone!"

"It has been six weeks since my back surgery and my quality of life is now incredible. I had been in constant pain for over ten years with no solution in Canada. Baja Med group is nothing short of amazing. The process is so easy, they look after everything. Every single aspect is planned out perfectly. The care I received was absolutely top notch. Everyone at Baja Med group is awesome. If you are in need of surgery, look no further than Baja Med group"

"Made it home late last night. The trip to Tijuana was an eye opener on how lacking our medical system is here in Canada. The care, compassion and communication from the Team at BajaMed from the Dr's to the office and recovery staff and the driver was exceptional. Dr Serrano was there for each and every external scan with a visit everyday at the recovery centre. Emi, our personal driver was my friend translator and entertainer, showed me compassion and kept me laughing thru the wait of Dwight's procedures and scans. If you are ever looking for private solutions to long wait procedure,s we wholeheartedly recommend you check out Dr Serrano at Bajamed. It was an amazing experience. If our medical Dr's here cannot deal with the medical issue they discovered down there in a timely fashion, we will be taking another trip south."
