Reviews of Dr. Ismael Cabrera, MD
“There are many choices for gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico and the decision can be overwhelming. Many locations are simply offices in a strip mall and you don’t know how many surgeries the doctor has done. I decided on Dr. Cabrera and Doctors Hospital. They were professional from the beginning, answered all my questions the same day, and exceeded my expectations.”
