FOLSOM, CA, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The visit, which took place from March 3, 2025, to March 4, 2025, included a comprehensive tour of Hospital Azar® facilities, home of Mexico Bariatric Center® (MBC), a review of surgical procedures, and detailed discussions with MBC’s medical team regarding patient protocols, post-operative care, and long-term support. Dr. O'Sullivan and Dr. Harris sought to evaluate MBC’s capabilities to ensure the safety and efficacy of sending patients from their New Zealand practices.

"We are delighted to have welcomed Dr. O'Sullivan and Dr. Harris to Hospital Azar," said Ron Elli, Ph.D., Director of Mexico Bariatric Center. "Their visit signifies a growing recognition of our commitment to providing world-class bariatric care to international patients."

This visit marks a significant step towards establishing a formal referral pathway between New Zealand general physicians and the Mexico Bariatric Center. MBC continues to build its reputation as a trusted destination for medical tourists seeking exceptional bariatric care while providing a cost-effective solution.

“We were very impressed with the professionalism and expertise of the team at Mexico Bariatric Center,” said Dr. Lance O'Sullivan. “The facilities are excellent, and the patient-centered approach is evident throughout the entire process. We look forward to exploring further opportunities for collaboration.”

We are keen to establish a seamless referral process to ensure a smooth transition for our patients.”
