WHAT OUR PATIENTS HAVE TO SAY...
I can’t brag enough about my wonderful experience at Hospital BCN. The staff was phenomenal, the hospital was top notch and I’ve never experienced the care and compassion in the US that I experienced there. I am constantly telling Anyone I can how wonderful my experience was!
Sandy Groves-Hermann
This place was fantastic!! I had the best care then I have ever had while staying in a hospital. The staff there were absolutely wonderful. Not only did they take care of me while there, they took excellent care of my husband as well ( getting him coffee, lunch, dinner, making sure he had everything he needed). I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone considering Bariatric surgery.
Crystal Lloyd
My daughter and I had surgery on May 30th. The entire experience went flawlessly. All of my reservations about having surgery in another country were put to rest. This place and every member I came in contact with was so organized and friendly. They tell you what to expect and then, just imagine, it actually happens! Every person from the clinical staff to the transport team acted professionally and an interpreter was available at all times. The hospital was very clean and I actually felt safe. I never had to ask for anything post surgery because they came into our room like clockwork. I’ve had 2 surgeries in the states and did not receive the attentiveness I received with this team. One of the physicians even came to our hotel to check our incisions, review medications and answer any final questions the night before we left. That final act meant so much to me because after leaving the hospital and trying to process all that had happened, it gave me a chance to think about what questions I still had. Once home, I was very thankful to be able to email the dietitian with questions. I am not by any means knocking the US (I am proud to be an American) but if you don’t have insurance that will cover your surgery or finances to pay US fees, there is an alternative out there and Dr. Illan and ALL of the staff here are the answer you’re looking for, so stop searching and choose them!!!
