Travel by car, taxi, bus, and even simply walking across on foot is quite common across this international border.rnrnIt took us less than 15 to minutes drive form the El Paso airport baggage claim area to the hospital in Juarez.rnrnHospital Angeles, Juarez, is a world class medical care facility<\/strong> designed especially to provide state-of-the-art high quality medical care to international patients.rnrnThe hospital boasts of some of the best doctors<\/strong> in their field, supported by an able staff and latest medical technology equipment. Top bariatric surgeons (lap band, gastric sleeve, gastric bypass ) surgeons practice at this facility.rnrnWe were told that more than 70% of the current patients<\/strong> here for lap band are from United States. This was confirmed when we observed many Americans in the hosptial lobby.rnrnWith the cost of high quality medical care<\/strong> here at a fraction of the USA cost, it is not surprising.rnrnLap band surgery cost in Mexico<\/strong> is about US $8000 vs the USA cost<\/strong> for the same surgery is around US $25,000.<\/strong>rnrnThe hospital is a fully integrated hospital<\/strong>, meaning it offers complete medical services in-house (outpatient clinic, emergency room, pharmacy, intensive care unit, intermediate ICU, neonatal ICU, intermediate neonatal ICU, X-ray, tomography, MRI, nuclear medicine, fluoroscopy (itu2019s a X-Ray type machine used for lap band adjustments), angiography, fully equipped laboratory, blood bank, helicopter landing zone, doctor offices and more).rnrnThe hospital is self-contained<\/strong> with its own chapel, cafeteria, pharmacy, gift shop, ATM, and more. Unless, you want to take a look around, there will be no need for you to step outside the hospital premises.rnrnFor people wanting a taste of good old American fast foods, fast foods chains<\/strong> like Haagen-Dazs, Wendy, Subway, and Carlu00e2u20acu2122s are walking distance from the hospital. But these might not be of interest to bariatric surgery patients.rnrnAbout three miles<\/strong> from the hospital is a Hampton Inn Hotel, part of the Hilton Family, and a 4-star Mexican Hotel: City Express.rnrnThese are used rarely by hospital patients as the patient and an accompanying guest are accommodated<\/strong> in the hospital.rnrnMedical Tourism Corporation<\/strong> team hopes this report helps you in your journey to find the right medical destination.rnrn
