Answer 1

I reccomend Dr Enrigue Tirado Zatarain. He did my emergency appendectomy and he has an obesity clinic as well. A friend had a lap band surgery with him and was very happy. His number is (MX) 669-112-0320   (USA)619-955-627

www.obesityclinic.com.mx

Answer 2

Unfortuntely, the WWW is not utilized nearly as extensively in Mexico for commercial advertising as it is in the USA.

The majority of small Mexican businesses, including medical, just do not advertise on the Web.

If your Moms family lives in Mazatlan, why not have them do some leg/phone work and help your Mom in finding a doctor?

A bit of advise from experience ok?....

Have your Mom make sure she is a good candidate for this type of surgery from her personal doctor BEFORE she agrees to any procedures done.
