My husband and I both were sleeved by Dr. Wilhelmy on September 1, 2014. We were so well taken care of by him and the entire Mexicali Bariatric team. Being able to stay in a clean hospital 3 nights was very important to us as we were recovering. All three doctors, Dr. Rodolfo Wilhelmy, Dr. David Beltran, and Dr. Edgar Campos checked on us at least twice daily. The nursing staff was very caring and helpful. Our experience was very comfortable and very safe. I look forward to reporting our successful results throughout the years.

I am retired and live part of the year in Baja Mexico. I chose to have my surgery done at Almater Hospital with Dr. Wilhelmy and spend more for better care. I have been to clinics and smaller hospitals while here in Mexico and I did not want my surgery to take place in one of them. I wanted a proper hospital with all the credentials and specialist on site. I wanted to be in a safe place from the get go and recover there too. I did not want to recover at a hotel either. I was prepared to pay more because having worked 25 years in the medical field I know what can go wrong if you do not follow protocol. While it is true that certain things are done differently than in the US and I was prepared for that I can say that the care that I got from the staff at Almater hospital and all the doctors and staff at Mexicali Bariatric Center was one of the best in my life. The nurses and doctors are attentive and caring. I saw Dr. Wilhelmy daily and Dr. Beltran and Dr Campos visited me daily as well. Everything I had read about them was true! I am 62 years young and want to live much longer. Do not sell yourself short and go with the best! You deserve it!

Had surgery and wanted to encourage anyone on the fence of going to him to not hesitate any longer, I had a positively great experience and would recommend Dr. Wlhelmy and Mexicali Bariatric Center to anyone considering surgery in Mexico. There really are incredibly good surgeons in Mexico and great facilities with high standards. Almater Hospital is one of these places. You will be well taken care and not regret going to Dr. Wilhelmy for surgery for a single minute. Really the entire staff at Mexicali Bariatric Center took very good care of my and my husband. We have been telling everyone about our experience and how impressed we were with everything. Thank you everyone from the bottom of heart for making this such a good beginning to my new life.

I had a gastric sleeve done by Dr. Wilhelmy. He seemed like a very nice man. I only saw him once very briefly before surgery when we were introduced and once a few days after the surgery when he came to check on me. I have no complaints about the surgery though as I had no complications. There were 2 other doctors that both came daily to see me. They were very encouraging and positive and answered any questions I had. Everyone was very helpful and thorough with everything it was very reassuring.

I had made my appointment for gastric sleeve just the week before Dr. Aceves died so tragically in a plane crash. I did not cancel the appointment because I knew that the Mexicali Bariatric Center would bring in the most qualified doctor available to take his place. Dr. Wilhelmy was my 'knight in shining armor' who came in and took care of me without my changing any appointments or arrangements. Dr. Wilhelmy was so kind and gracious to me, visiting me every day, explaining everything I asked about, and I am very grateful for his surgical skills and my successful surgery.

Thank you Dr Wilhelmy and staff at mexicali bariatric Center! The experience was outstanding, I recommend them to anyone considering wls. This was the 2nd time I was here, last year as companion with my mom who got her sleeve with Dr. Aceves, now it was my turn. Both my mom and I agreed that the services continue to be the best we have every received. This is a very professional group of people and also very caring and compassionate. We saw doctors 2-3 times a day at least, the rest of the staff is really attentive and helpful too. All our needs were met. I have had no problems at all. This was my first time meeting Dr. Wilhelmy and we were pleasantly surprised by this demeanor. We trusted his skills as a surgeon but were so pleased to find such a kind man too.

Dr. Wilhelmy was awesome. He was a very pleasant and endearing man. He talked to me the day of surgery and was there right after surgery. Everyday, he came in to check on me. He and his team are awesome. I highly recommend them!

Iam 55 years old and a pediatrician. Dr Wilhelmy did my sleeve surgery 1 year and 8 months ago. I have had excellent results without any complications and with the expected weight loss! I choose Dr Wilhelmy because of this long time experience in weight loss surgery and recommendations from colleagues and friends that had surgery with him; including my sister who also had the surgery with him. Do not hesitate in having surgery with such a competent and kind surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Wilhelmy!

What can I say! To talk about Dr Wilhelmy is to talk about commitment, professionalism and compassion in what he does. He is an excellent surgeon and an excellent human being. I had surgery a month and a half ago and I have lost 26 lbs. He is surgeon that speaks directly and gives you confidence. Increidible service from beginning to end. Thank you Dr. Wilhelmy and all your team for taking such great care of me!

I had gastric sleeve surgery with Dr Rodolfo Wilhelmy june 2013 and I have lost 120 lbs in a year ! I couldn't be happier with my results. The care I recieved while there at Almater hospital is the best I have ever had. I now go to Almater for all my medical needs and my family's too. Dr Wilhelmy is compassionate and competent. I recommend him to everyone that asks how I lost so much weight!
I have gone back for my twice for checkups for my sleeve and have received the same attention I got initially.
Thank you VERY MUCH Dr Wilhelmy !
