Customer Reviews
Based on 5 reviews
"I wanted to talk about my experience with the mini bypass surgery. This whole experience has been amazing. From the moment we arrived at the airport in San Diego to discharge day. The transportation department (Beto, Luis, Jaziel) were always on time and very accommodating, Beto and Luis were always checking on us making sure we were comfortable and on top of our needs. The nurses and doctors were very nice and helpful checking on me constantly. They were always giving my meds on time, making sure my incisions were not bleeding and just making sure I was comfortable and pain free. I am very lucky and blessed to have found this hospital to have my procedure done at. Best decision I ever made!"
"Came here for a gastric sleeve and this hospital has been great. Wonderful staff especially Beto has gone out of his way to make us feel right at home while we are here. Would highly recommend coming here for bariatric surgery. Definitely worth a full 5 stars!!"
"This team is amazing. It starts with Henry in coordinating, to transportation (Louis), reception (Mariel), and Beto as our valet. These people are with you from the planning stage until you leave to go home. They are the best to have by your side. Then to surgery day, Dr illan and the entire surgical team are the best and they generally care about their patients and comfort. I would recommend this hospital and team every single time."
"My experience at Hospital BC has been everything I hoped it would be. The entire staff has made every step as seamless as possible. Everyone always has a smile and words of kind encouragement. I took this leap of faith based off of all the wonderful reviews of past patients and I have no regrets. Sal, Luis and Beto are amazingly helpful! There are too many staff to mention everyone but I give thanks to each of you for taking such good care of me."
"They really take better care of you than America I recommend everybody whos on a weight loss journey that’s thinking about surgery to come here. All of the staff was excellent to me. They keep checking up on you to make sure you’re ok. The staff drove my nephew out the hospital for food. He was very thankful for that. I hope I never have to come back but if I do I’m coming again. Believe it."
