Within minutes after waking up I felt great w very little effects of the anesthesia and walked out and headed home. I highly recommend Dr Mayer and his staff!!

The level of communication and support before and after surgery was outstanding, and I always felt well informed and cared for.

At the time, I was experiencing severe dizziness when standing or sitting, neck swelling, blurred vision, extreme fatigue, and an overall inability to complete daily tasks. Despite seeing numerous doctors, no one was able to determine the cause of my symptoms. Feeling frustrated and overwhelmed, I turned to Dr. Augustine. From my very first visit, she was able to identify the root causes of my health issues and created a personalized supplement plan tailored to my needs. As I continued treatment, I gradually began to feel my body heal. Each month, I noticed another symptom disappear. Within a year, I had my life back. I felt and looked like a completely new person. I continue to see Dr. Augustine on a monthly basis to ensure my body receives the ongoing support it needs. I cannot recommend Dr. Brandy Augustine highly enough, she truly changed my life.

This is an update to a review I left back in January 2026. I appreciated that Dr. Willis reached…read moreout a number of times to see how they could make this right with me. Considering I still have health concerns that I'd like to correct I felt he provided a sincere concern on how to rectify the situation. As a business owner myself that was is important to me. I am willing to go along with the program designed for me (which is much different than the first time around). I cannot say if it is going to make a difference since it's only been a week. Health issues can be very complex and achieving the desired results can and usually does take many paths. I encourage anyone seeking optimal health to at least talk with AFM with their concerns and ask the honest questions and do the research on understanding your individual health concerns. Thank you Dr. Willis for responding to my previous review.

Advanced Functional Medicine San Diego takes a truly holistic and personalized approach to health…read morethat goes far beyond traditional medicine. Instead of simply treating symptoms, they focus on understanding the root causes of what your body is experiencing. Through comprehensive and rigorous testing, you gain real insight into how your body is functioning, where your limitations may be, and what imbalances might be affecting your overall health. What impressed me most is how Sara took the time to review the results in detail and develop a clear, individualized plan designed to restore balance and bring your body back to optimal health. Their approach combines science, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies in a way that feels thoughtful, thorough, and empowering. If you're looking for a proactive and holistic path to improving your health--one that actually helps you understand your body rather than just mask symptoms--I highly recommend Advanced Functional Medicine San Diego.

I went to my Dr here in the US and she prescribed me anti depressants! I lost hope at one point and thought I was going to have to live like that for the rest of my life. I found Dr Reyes on Yelp and even though she's a 2.5 hr drive from me I was so desperate I decided to make an appointment. It's been the best decision I have made all year. She prescribed me medication and I took it for a whole month. After the 1st day I already felt so much better. After a few days I felt normal again, a feeling I hadn't felt in almost 2 years. After 1 month I ran out of the meds but I don't even need them anymore. I haven't taken them for 2 weeks and my stomach has been fine. If you suffer like I was before you lose hope please go visit Dr Reyes. She's so amazing!

Evelyn and I had many conversations together where I expressly voiced my frustration from all of the other issues we've had at other Dr, I know I was not easy to deal with as I was very scared and frustrated for my mother , Evelyn never once lost her cool with me. She maintained her professionalism , She provides excellent feedback and customer service. If she says she's going to do some thing like to call you back or give you updates on things, she does it. I just met her in person for the first time, and she is as warm and professional with me in person and with my mother as she was on the phone. I couldn't find a better medical team than the people at this office . Highly recommend Dr Gadapatti as a top-notch gastroenterologist, and Evelyn his medical assistant. You will receive Top notch care!!!

Thank you and have a great day." There was no option to leave a message. Seriously? This is not the way to do business. Having a good doctor is of no use if you can't get anyone to answer the phone. Very disappointing.

What a phenomenal experience. I can honestly say that I had…read morenothing but incredible interactions with any and all of the staff members here. I also want to give a very special and heartfelt acknowledgments to my surgeon Dr. Quiñonez a.k.a. Dr. Q! Now, that I am back and have had time to fully process my experience, I'm really happy with the care and expertise of Dr. Q and his staff. He is somewhat of a reserved gentlemen but has the most experience at this facility. Depending on who you ask he is also the one who perfected the technique that is primarily used at Pompeii Surgical. Although, I made sure to do a deep dive into every aspect of the surgery, (I did 2 1/2 months of training/ learning). He fully explain the procedure and even drew a diagram to make sure that I was comfortable with what was going to happen. Now, let's talk about the obvious. For most people who come down to use this facility and take advantage of the procedures for a fraction of the cost. the fact that it's in Tijuana, Mexico makes people hesitant and even scared. The false ideals of cartel problems or even dangerous activities that are assumed to happen, is a non factor. I highly recommend this place for a high quality medical experience and for anyone that has to pay out of pocket for bariatric surgery. I have read horror stories about being forced to jump through hoops for insurance companies. To fight for financing and their required qualification period to be approved. at the time of this review the cost was $5300 cash or specialized check. That covered everything but airfare. Unfortunately, as of March 1st, 2022, the price has gone up to $5800. But it's still cheaper than paying in the states and in my opinion, Worth every penny!! It's Unbelievable care at a world class facility. I will tell you that this facility and all those that work here from the: surgeons, assistants and nurses are phenomenal. I also want to mention how fantastic the care coordinators and even the drivers- are professionals of the highest caliber. The facility is incredibly clean and modernized. Guests are treated with world class respect and care. I would highly recommend anyone considering bariatric surgery to come here and make it a vacation.
