What patients say about Hospital de la Familia (Family Hospital)
“I had weight loss revision surgery and could not be happier.”
“Short version, I had bariatric surgery and ended up with a thin spot (hernia) and after flying back and paying to have that fixed it still came out horribly painfully.”
“The hospital advertised was not the one I went to. The operating room was thrown together i my opinion. Hardly anyone spoke English so I had a difficult time with the forms.”
Excerpts quoted verbatim from public reviews, checked November 2026; long reviews are shortened (…). Positive and critical reviews are both shown. Many reviews describe other kinds of care at the hospital, not bariatric surgery.
