"Dr Gino Perretta, is the first doctor that took time to sit down with me and truly understand my concerns and address them in one sitting with his comforting desk side manner, professional knowledge, and on-site resources. I was given, detailed explanations, X-rays, ultrasounds, injections and a treatment plan all on a one hour session. Thank you!"

"After extensive research and consultations with surgeons across Canada, the United States, and Mexico, I made the decision to have Dr. Perretta perform my hip surgery. From the outset, Dr. Perretta was extremely thorough, providing a detailed overview of the surgical procedure, expected recovery timeline, and both the benefits and potential drawbacks. His transparent and informative approach helped me feel confident and well-prepared. Although the surgery ended up being much more invasive than originally anticipated, I am incredibly grateful that Dr. Perretta was my surgeon. His expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the entire process. Two months post-surgery, my recovery is ahead of schedule, and the pain I experienced before the procedure is now gone. While I still have a long journey ahead to rebuild my strength, I am encouraged by my progress and the excellent care I received. Travelling to another country for medical treatment can be overwhelming, but Dr. Perretta and his team made the experience smooth and reassuring. I am beyond happy with my results and would highly recommend Dr. Perretta to anyone considering hip surgery. His skill, compassion, and dedication truly set him apart"

"Considering leaving the country to seek orthopedic care was not an easy decision for me. However, once I forwarded my MRI to Dr. Gino, everything changed. Within 24 hours, I had an appointment scheduled and was able to meet with him through a comprehensive Zoom consultation. The amount of information, detail, and genuine concern he provided during that call was remarkable. I was amazed by how thoroughly he explained my condition and treatment options. Meanwhile, in the United States, I had spent nearly three weeks unable to walk and struggling to get the answers and care I desperately needed. From the very beginning, Dr. Gino and his team were responsive, professional, and compassionate. They made me feel heard, valued, and confident that I was finally on the right path toward recovery. Once I forwarded my flight information, their team immediately provided every detail I needed through WhatsApp, including the name of my driver, the make and model of the vehicle, and precise pickup instructions. The transition from the United States into Mexico was seamless and stress-free. Everything happened exactly as they said it would. My driver took me directly to Dr. Gino's office, where I was warmly greeted by his wonderful secretary, Karla, who was friendly, welcoming, and approachable. Before I knew it, I was meeting Dr. Gino in person. He reassured me that everything would go smoothly and carefully reviewed the surgical plan once again. The following morning, I was admitted to Hospital Blue and Medical Tower. Within the first hour, I completed blood work, an EKG, X-rays, a full medical evaluation, a consultation with the anesthesiologist, and finally another visit from Dr. Gino. He walked into my room with confidence and a smile and said, "Everything looks good. Let's get this knee fixed." My husband and I were absolutely shocked by the efficiency and level of care I received. Everything was organized, thorough, and patient-focused. I underwent ACL reconstruction using a hamstring graft along with repair of a bucket-handle meniscus tear. The cost included surgery, hospitalization, and an overnight stay with 24-hour nursing care—something that would have been difficult to imagine at a comparable cost in the United States. After discharge, my driver was already waiting downstairs as soon as I exited the elevator and took us back to the hotel. Speaking of the hotel—it exceeded every expectation. The room was spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything someone recovering from surgery could need. It provided the perfect environment to rest and begin healing. Before flying home, I had one final follow-up appointment with Dr. Gino. He carefully examined my knee, reassured me that everything looked excellent, and answered all of my remaining questions. After a smooth drive back to San Diego, I was on a plane and home by 8:00 PM. Now, three weeks after surgery, Dr. Gino and his staff continue to check on me regularly. We have resumed follow-up appointments through Zoom, and I am currently attending physical therapy. I am incredibly grateful to be on the road to recovery and to have this injury behind me. If you have ever considered seeking medical care outside of the United States, I can confidently say that choosing Dr. Gino and his team in Tijuana, Mexico, was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The level of care, professionalism, communication, and compassion I received was truly elite and exceeded all expectations. Thank you, Dr. Gino, Karla, and the entire team for making what could have been a stressful experience into such a smooth, positive, and life-changing one."
