Our Take
Endobariatric is the sleeve specialist's specialist - one surgeon, one procedure, nearly two decades. The SRC Center of Excellence designation is a real, verifiable accreditation, not marketing. Piedras Negras is a quieter border crossing than Tijuana, reached via Eagle Pass, TX. Best for patients who want a high-volume, sleeve-only surgeon over a multi-service hospital.
