CORE Medical Surgery Center

"CORE Medical is great. Dr Reyes did a fabulous neck lift. I had a nice experience from beginning to end. Paula answered every question I had. The suite was very nice, clean and modern. I had visits from many doctors, cardiology, general, and anesthesia. All of them were pleasant and answered all questions. The best was the nursing staff, Gabby in particular. She was so kind and sweet and funny. She was also very knowledgeable. I felt very at ease.Thanks also t o Perla (student). Great job on starting my IV. Thanks to everyone, but especially to Gabbi and Dr Reyes. Janie Coker Vargas"

"I highly recommend CORE Hospital in Tijuana. I needed an epidural cortisone shot for a low back issue and could not have been more impressed. The facilities are clean, modern, and welcoming. CORE is a full hospital care facility — they even offer dental services, overnight suites, and a full kitchen for patients who need long-term stays. In the U.S., I was facing a six-week wait for this procedure. CORE got me scheduled within a week, and the cost was very reasonable. I also appreciated that English is spoken whenever it’s needed for medical communication, which gave me great confidence in the process. The staff is truly what makes this hospital stand out. Paula answered my initial email questions quickly and thoroughly, making the process stress-free from the start. My pre-op consultation with the doctor was conducted over Zoom, which made things simple and reassuring. On the day of the procedure, the prep and procedure room staff were professional, attentive, and never rushed. Every step of the experience felt focused on me as a patient. In fact, the care and attention I received at CORE surpassed much of what I’ve experienced in the U.S. healthcare system. To sum it up: CORE Hospital exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m very glad I trusted them with my procedure, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return if I needed care in the future."

"I went to Core Medical for a full body MRI and a Dental checkup. Paula the patient coordinator was great in assisting me and answered all of my questions and concerns and she was a real gem to work with. My full body MRI was administered by Robbie, made me feel comfortable about the process and was really professional as this was my first time getting one. Felix and the other Dentist I was working with ( I don't remember his name) were great they have the most gentle hands when working with dental instruments in my mouth and I never felt jumpy like I usually do in the dentist chair. Above and beyond all I will be back as I am looking to do some other procedures."

"I recently had a procedure there with Dr. Fernanda Chavez and it was amazing. The care I received from Core Medical was 10/10. From Day one, Micheal Zarur who originally set me up with my consolation and appointment, was amazing and extreamly knowledgeable. I cannot stress enough how great the staff there are. The patient care coordinator Paula was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. If you are doing research about this facility just know that you are in great hands. They will call you to check up on you after your visit, they are super knowledgeable, and most of all truly caring. I want to encourage you to give them your time and consideration. The service they provide is beyond amazing. I will be back again and look forward to my next visit with them."

"I had a breast lift with implants, arm lift and chin lipo and couldn’t be happier with my results. Paula the patient coordinator is amazing and was there from start to finish walking me through the process and would connect me with the surgeon’s assistant when I had any concerns with my incisions and always responded very quickly. Nurse Karla Lopez was very compassionate and caring when I felt so vulnerable, she even braided my hair while I was recovering. What can I say about my surgeon Dr.Illich, he is simply an artist. The results exceeded my expectations, and didn’t think it was possible lol since I can be somewhat controlling, not very easy to please. Thank god I did my research a few months in advance and chose to go with Core Medical. I cant thank you ladies enough. Also would like to add that the hospital/medical center is very clean, up to date, and have the latest medical equipment. I am in the medical field in California and that was something that was important to me, not only did I need to hospital to have great surgeons and be knowledgeable and experienced in case something unexpected came up but also to be fully equipped."
