Start with a virtual consultation
The Ariel Center’s source guide describes virtual consultations as the first step for traveling patients, allowing you to discuss surgery before an initial in-person visit.
Confirm the proposed procedure and your written plan before reserving flights or accommodation.
Arrival through San Diego
The source guide describes airport pickup at San Diego and private transportation to The Ariel Center in Zona Río, Tijuana.
Confirm pickup details, border arrangements and the schedule directly with your coordinator; travel times depend on traffic and border conditions.
Accommodation and aftercare
The source guide describes hotel or aftercare-facility arrangements and local transportation for traveling patients.
Confirm your actual accommodation, recovery support and what is included in your written estimate. Your surgical plan determines the appropriate stay.
Before your return home
Discuss follow-up appointments and medical clearance before travelling. Keep your recovery instructions and care-team contact details available.
Ask about mobility, support at home and the follow-up plan after you leave Tijuana. For a medical emergency, seek immediate care from local emergency services.
