What patients say about Hospital Ángeles Tijuana

“I had excellent care at this hospital. Their very professional. Although I speak English, they had transistors Google ready”

Critical review Yelp

“This is what I got from HOSPITAL ANGELED and Dr. PEDRO PUEBLA and Heal Recovery Home. This plus no accountability, no internal investigation, and taking more of my money, and leaving me at Brink of death.”

Critical review Yelp

“I had a surgery done by Dr Zivalda who practices at this hospital. Post surgery, when I had an issue I got my surgical report. The report was missing important information.”

Christina F.Aug 13, 2024

“Al unirme la pierna con una placa y ocho tornillos, aparentemente no habrán podido alinearla bien porque me quedó 20-25° torcida y desalineada de su eje.”

Translation: When they joined my leg with a plate and eight screws, apparently they were unable to align it properly because it was left 20–25° crooked and out of alignment with its axis.
