I had a liposuction procedure with Dr. Sariñana, and while he is talented, I felt that the pre-operative process was not thorough enough. I had questions about my recovery but struggled to get answers. The results are good, but the overall experience left something to be desired.

I went to Dr. Sariñana for a facelift, but I was not happy with the results. I felt that my concerns were not taken seriously during the follow-up appointments. I wish I had chosen a different surgeon. The support staff was friendly, but I expected more from the doctor himself.

I had high hopes for my surgery with Dr. Sariñana, but my experience was not what I expected. I felt rushed during my consultation, and I had difficulty getting in touch with the clinic post-surgery when I had questions. The results were decent, but the lack of communication was disappointing.

While Dr. Sariñana is skilled, my experience was marred by long wait times and a feeling that I was just another patient. I had a gastric sleeve procedure, and while I am satisfied with the outcome, the overall service could use improvement.

My experience with Dr. Sariñana was a bit mixed. Though the surgery went well, I faced a few complications afterward that I felt could have been better managed. Communication was lacking, and I often felt like I was left in the dark about my recovery.

Dr. Sariñana and his staff were phenomenal. I came to Mexicali from the U.S. for weight loss surgery, and the hospitality I received was outstanding. He took the time to explain everything to me, and I felt completely supported. My recovery has been smooth, and I am seeing fantastic results!
