Why Patients Choose
a Hospital — Not a Clinic
These are the questions every patient asks before surgery. Here is exactly what Hospital CER's infrastructure means for your safety.
"What if something goes wrong during surgery?"
Hospital CER has a full ICU, anesthesiology team, and emergency response protocols in-house — not on-call, not nearby. On site. The same infrastructure used for complex surgical cases backs every procedure Dr. Sánchez performs.
"Is plastic surgery in Tijuana actually safe?"
The facility matters more than the geography. Hospital CER operates under strict international clinical standards. Patients from the US, Canada, and Mexico choose us because the hospital meets — and often exceeds — stateside safety benchmarks.
"Who is watching over me after surgery?"
Recovery at Hospital CER means dedicated post-surgical monitoring rooms staffed by nurses trained in post-operative care. You are not recovering in a hotel room. You are in a hospital.
"Will I just be another number on a schedule?"
Dr. Sánchez personally consults, designs, and performs every procedure. Her practice is built on personalized consultations — each one a genuine conversation, never a template.

The Standard
Not All Surgical Facilities Are Created Equal
Before you decide where to have surgery, consider what the facility is actually able to do for you.
| What You Need | Private Surgical Clinic | Hospital CER |
|---|---|---|
| ICU if complications arise | Not available on site | Full ICU, in-house 24/7 |
| Dedicated anesthesiologist | Often shared or contracted | Board-certified, dedicated |
| Post-surgical monitoring room | Recovery sent elsewhere | Monitored in-hospital |
| Emergency response | Requires ambulance transfer | Response team on premises |
| In-house pharmacy & lab | External | On site |
| International Standards | Basic local clinical standards | International hospital-grade standards |
At Hospital CER, safety is the standard — not the exception.
Ideal Candidates
Who Is This Right For?
Hospital CER is designed for patients who understand that where surgery happens matters as much as who performs it.
Patients seeking hospital-level safety
You want a full facility with ICU, emergency response, and post-op monitoring. Not a surgical suite — a real hospital.
Patients traveling from the US or Canada
The financial advantage of Tijuana — without ever compromising on facility quality, accreditation, or safety standards.
Patients combining multiple procedures
Extended surgical time demands full infrastructure. A mommy makeover or body lift is significantly safer in a hospital setting.
Patients who want overnight monitoring
Nursing staff, not a hotel room. In-hospital recovery gives you — and the people who love you — real peace of mind.
Not sure if you're a candidate? Our patient coordinators offer free virtual consultations to help you understand your options, risks, and what to realistically expect from your procedure at Hospital CER.
