Surgery in Tijuana typically costs from $4,500 to $11,000 depending on the complexity, technique, and clinician expertise. Patients save around 80% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $27,500 on average. Most quotes include surgeon fees, anesthesia, and facility use, though localized travel logistics like border transfers often represent additional value.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Tijuana is Mexico's primary hub for cross-border surgical care. It manages more North American patients than any other regional city. This high volume creates a unique value-per-case ratio. For example, Hospital Angeles Tijuana specializes in complex logistics for international travelers. Meanwhile, surgeons like Dr. Arturo Martinez hold SRC Surgeon of Excellence certificates. This concentration of verified expertise ensures US-equivalent safety standards at regional rates.
