I had breast augmentation two weeks ago with Dr. Balza, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment I walked into the hospital, I felt completely cared for. The facility was spotless, and the staff was warm, courteous, and professional. I had my own nurse while I recuperated, and I was even served dinner during my stay. Everything was clearly explained to me before the procedure, and I really appreciated being involved in selecting the breast implants beforehand. Before going into the OR, I had an EKG and blood work done to ensure everything was safe and ready. Danae was phenomenal from the very beginning—right from the moment I received my quote. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Dr. Balza is a true perfectionist. Not only is she incredibly talented as a surgeon, but she is also a genuinely kind and compassionate person. My breasts look absolutely amazing, and I have zero regrets. I'm healing well, with no complications at all. I highly recommend Dr. Balza and her entire team. They exceeded all of my expectations!Posted on April RAugust 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had surgery with Dra Balza last week and this has been a really great experience! From the beginning of the process communication was great and I felt safe to text or call and ask any questions I needed too! Dra Balza was very knowledgeable and from our first FaceTime meeting I could tell she was safety and healing conscious and wouldn’t go beyond what was safe. The trip to Tijuana and morning of surgery went smoothly! Following the instructions given I was able to elevate my hemoglobin to a high level and I was ready! Dra Balza and my coordinator, Norma Castillo, were so pleasant and kind and made me as ease right before going in for surgery. So far I’ve been healing very well and have been checked in on several times! If I choose to go for round two I would not hesistate to have Dra Balza be my surgeon again!Posted on Mary DJuly 23, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the greatest experience with Dr. Balza and her team. I had a mommy makeover: tummy tuck, liposuction and bbl as well as a breast lift and augmentation. I consulted with doctors in three countries before choosing Dr. Balza. Her knowledge rivaled the best plastic surgeons in my area of the US, even one who lectures at a local university. The excellent staff at the hospital coupled with the recovery house provided the best possible experience. I could not imagine having this level of surgery at an out patient clinic and discharged the same day! Highly recommend!Posted on Dina RJuly 20, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This review is long overdue! I’ve been a patient of Dr. Balza for nearly 6 years, and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my body. She performed my bbl 6 years ago, and to this day, people can’t tell. it looks so natural, sculpted, and athletic. Her work is subtle yet transformative, and she truly has an artist’s eye. I recently returned for liposuction of my back and “ballet” arms desire, and once again, I’m beyond happy with the results from Dr Balza and her team. She is not only incredibly skilled but also so warm, kind, and truly listens to your goals. She works with you, not just on you and that makes all the difference. A huge thank you as well to Dana, her amazing coordinator. Dana is a gem. Very sweet, professional, and genuinely caring. She makes sure you’re comfortable every step of the way. Other honorable mentions, The hospital where Dr. operates, Hospital CER is spotless and top-tier. The nurses and medical assistants are wonderful, attentive, and speak both Spanish and English. I’ve never felt safer or more cared for, even compared to hospitals in the U.S. vanessa her anesthesiologist has been with her for 15 years they create such a safe system and make a wonderful team. It shows. Everything is prepared for you: your garments, medications, supplies all carefully packed and ready.the food is delicious. It’s unbelievably convenient and takes all the stress out of surgery prep and recovery. I can’t recommend Dr. Balza and her team enough. They go above and beyond in every way. If you want someone who will listen, deliver stunning results, and care for you like family, this is the one. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 💛 -BriannaPosted on Nadine mJanuary 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So satisfied with my procedure, I feel super confident with my new body. I would recommend 300 %.Posted on JacobDecember 15, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am writing to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of my wife for the outstanding medical care my wife received during her recent surgery with Dr. Isabel Balza. Dr. Isabel Balza professionalism, attentiveness, thorough her surgery truly exceeded our expectations, and we feel compelled to give her the highest possible rating of 5 stars. My wife especially appreciated her clear communication, taking time to address my wife’s concerns, and her effective treatment plan before and after her body sculpture, lipo-surgery. We highly recommend Dr. Isabel Balza and would be my first choice for any future surgery for my family and us Thank Dr. Isabel Balza for your dedication to providing such excellent patient care.Posted on Jef INovember 27, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm writing this the day before Thanksgiving and four days after surgery and do not think I can adequately express how good Dr. Balza (and Norma!) are. (a friend and) I started researching surgeons in Tijuana and when I came across Dr. Balza, it just felt right and the more research I did, the better things were. Norma, Dr. Balza's patient coordinator was simply amazing, from the first of many emails I sent she answered all my questions, even those I asked more than once with patience and care. She made sure to check in and confirm we made it there ok and were settled in the night before surgery. She helped us feel comfortable the day of surgery and kept up with the communication after surgery, checking in on us and even making sure we got home ok! Dr. Balza - we face timed to discuss my surgery options, what I was looking for, what her recommendations were, etc. She was warm, friendly, and very engaged. I felt heard and that she was fully invested in me, as a patient and as a person. When it came for the day of surgery and we saw her as she walked into the lobby, she was just as warm and personable in person as she'd been on the phone. This may sound odd but when she would talk to me, she would put her hand on a shoulder, bring me into the conversation, she did this multiple times and it felt honest and very calming. This comes from a non touchy feel-y person. Post op visit was great, both Norma and Dr. Balza had us laughing and made sure we were doing well, physically and mentally. One might say well of course, it's their job but there's a difference in just doing your job and being all in with your job. I wish the care and concern these two ladies put out to us could be bottled because I haven't experienced this type of pre, during and post op care in the states. Oh - we both had brachioplasty. Our arms look fricken amazing, the sutures are not puckered, the "line" seems placed perfectly and I'm excited to see how it looks as the days go on. Both my friend and I are already planning our next visit. I simply cannot recommend Dr. Balza enough!Posted on Jessica BNovember 15, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Dr. Balza enough. I had a extended TT with 360 lipo and breast lift with implants. I am so happy with my results and as my husband says the breast size and overall result is absolutely perfect for my body. His comments are 'I picked the best surgeon ". I had a TT 20 years ago in Canada and was discharged the same day with follow up in a week at the surgeon office that lasted 10 minutes. There was no other contact or communication and was basically left to heal on my own with no way of knowing if I was healing properly. The experience with Dr. Balza is night and day. Regular ongoing communication on my of healing and being next steps (when to use a step 2 faja, when to use silicone tape, when to remove sutures and drains etc). This communication occurs even after I have come back to Canada with Dr. Balza often checking in on me. I went to Tijanna as I knew there is world class facilities and accredited surgeons. I am in healthcare and researched the best and safest surgeon for the surgery I was intending to have. The team Dr. Balza works with as a whole is CER is outstanding. I was seen by Anesthesia and then cleared by the Medical director prior to surgery. I know there is trepidation when one thinks of surgery in Mexico but I can assure you the quality of care was exceptional (3*med checks, updated white board, IV and med lines labeled, pharmacy coming to bedside to med rec)...these are all markers of overall commitment to safety. I should also say Norma the coordinator has been invaluable in supporting me in organizing this procedure as well as helping me plan the associated logistics of traveling to a different country for surgery.Posted on AmayaApril 26, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience with Dr. Balza’s team. All of her staff if very friendly and nice. I had a BBL done three months ago. The results and so beautiful and natural. Her staff checks in regularly since the procedure and has been very informative and helpful. I would definitely recommend Dr. Balza for a smooth natural looking BBL.
