Y’all I can not say enough good things about HWB!! From talking to Lauren and figuring out what surgeries would work best for me, to reserving a date. I have some distinct features in my blood apparently, instead of denying me surgery, DR. ISMAEL GONZALEZ took time out of his day to have an amazing conversation with me. HE ACTUALLY LISTENED!! Also before I left for Mexico I could not have felt more prepared Thank to marvelous Marla!! I touched down in San Diego and EVERYTHING was taken care of! Sandra and Marla covered ever single base and made the stay so easy!! I was checked on and made to feel important! Dr. Gonzalez is a genius! He did a miracle on my body! I had a circular tummy tuck and I could not be more happy! I will be going back to see Dr. Gonzalez, and the girls, to complete my dream body hopefully in September!!

I recently (April 2021) had a tummy tuck with a BBL with Dr. Ismael Gonzalez and I am very pleased with the surgery. I am looking forward to another procedure in the next year or so

I am so grateful to Health and Wellness Bazaar, I finally feel like me again! Dr. Gonzalez has helped me to feel comfortable in my own body. I had extremely loose skin after major weight loss. No matter how much I focused on fitness and nutrition I was still unable to get the definition and body toning I was desiring. I had a thigh lift and tummy tuck 360 in September 2022. The overall experience with Health and Wellness was phenomenal! I highly recommend them and the recovery home for anyone seeking to improve their overall appearance. I was informed. They responded quickly with any questions I had leading up to surgery and any follow ups afterwards. The travel was seamless and the care was exceptional!

Amazing experience from start to finish. I booked a rhinoplasty with Dr Ismael Gonzalez. I was very nervous for the entire thing but I was always in communication with someone and being checked on. I had no trouble adding my companion a bit late and they accommodated me with that. The transportation was amazing too, I was informed beforehand who would be picking me up and when. The drivers were kind too and swift with arrival.
Hospital BC where the surgery is at has an amazing reputation and cares a lot about patients. It is so hard to find reputable people in TJ, especially with a lot of charlatans around, but you can rest assured HWB was reputable with everything and I felt cared for at the hospital. They checked up on me several times before and after the surgery and brought me warm liquids to help replenish me. I was super nervous for the anesthesia too but the highly trained anesthesiologist was there at all times and very reassuring. I was kept in their care until I was safe and ready to go.
The recovery house was absolutely beautiful and my room was super comfortable. The nurses that come in and check up on patients are very lovely and it shows they really care about doing a good job. The food was great too, I was brought a lot of healthy meals and teas, like arnica tea for my swelling. I definitely recommend your stay here if you want to be pampered and cared for during your recovery. It is worth it!
My rhinoplasty was with Dr Gonzalez and I absolutely love it even though I am still healing. My results are very natural and beautiful, and I really wanted a natural result that could still be my nose, just better. Dr Gonzalez did a great job. I have very thick skin and a bulbous tip, so I was worried too if it would look too fake or unnatural. But my expectations were exceeded!
I am also pleased I can keep in contact with a Dr afterwards to check up in my progress and I am glad overall I chose HWB. If you want a safe and highly reputable place for your surgery needs, where you’ll be taken care of completely, then please go for HWB!

I got Lipo 360 w/ BBL on December 11 with Dr. Ismael Gonzalez! Let me first tell you guys that all of these 5-star reviews are absolutely real and this company is amazing. I am the biggest overthinker, but you just have to trust and let loose, let these guys take care of everything for you. :) It is the scariest thing going to another country to get a major surgery, but everyone is so heartwarming and by your side, and they all just want what's best for you. Let go of the stereotypes about medical tourism, this destination is one of the most pristine, clean, and hi-tech hotel and hospitals I have ever been to, and I live in California.
Dr. Gonzalez was the only one willing to take a chance on me to get lipo 360 w/ BBL. All the other doctors I had previously spoken to recommended that I get a tummy tuck because of the way my stomach sagged, and said I would have too much loose skin. However, this was not something I wanted to do because I am only 23 and I've never had kids. Dr. Gonzalez took this information and my wishes into account and believed that with my age and genetics, my skin would retract and we would still be able to achieve desirable results. And I'm SOOO glad we took that leap of faith because everything worked out! He and Dr. Maria Fernanda visited me at the hotel every day during my recovery, and we were all in constant contact via a group chat on whatsapp :) I definitely will be coming back for any future surgeries that I might want done. Thank you for everything Marla, Estephany, Ana, Dr. Gonzalez, and Dr. Maria Fernanda!

Went to HWB TO GET A UPPER AND LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY AND A MINI FACELIFT. Dr Gonzalez was absolutely amazing. I think he's an Artist and went above my expectations. I have minimal bruising and swelling. I was very nervous to have surgery done in Mexico. Everyone gives there opinions but I can definitely say I had the best experience. From getting my quote, communication with the ladies behind the scenes. The hospital was great and the staff even better. My anesthesiologist was so comforting and assuring. Dr Gonzalez assistant that visited me everyday after in my hotel was very attentive and answered all my 100 questions. My driver's were very polite. The Quartz hotel was very nice. I traveled alone but never felt alone. Highly recommend this company and all of the Doctors they use. Will definitely go back for anything else I may want in the future.

Words can't describe how grateful I am of Dr. Rios, Dr. Gonzalez (anesthesiologist) and everyone I came in contact with.I went for a lipo 360, tummy tuck and BBL, and they delivered 👏🙌 ! They handled me with care. They educated me and made me feel safe and confident in the decision that I made. After many months or research and planning I was a little nervous because 1, I've never been out of the country and 2, because of what people were saying about me being a women going to Mexico. It was definitely not THAT, that you see on the internet! Definitely NOT what people from the states talk about Mexico being. The way the doctors operate is not how people paint it to be. The clinic, the hospital, and the recovery house where super clean! Very updated with beautiful features. Spacious rooms, delicious food!, and the customer service was impeccable! Words again can't explain how safe and at home I felt. I would definitely do this again! Oh and my companion was also very surprised of how we were treated and over all on the experience. Again thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Definitely worth every penny!
