Posted prices
The clinic's own figures, in the currency and wording it used (an exact price, a "from" price or a range). Lists change and a quote after an exam can differ from a list; the unit column matters, since "per arch" and "per tooth" are not comparable.
| Procedure | Posted price | Unit | What the clinic says | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gastric sleeve | from $4,495 | package | all-inclusive package 'starting at $4,495*'; asterisk terms not read | clinic site |

A number shown on a clinic's site is a claim until it is looked up. Mexico's professional licenses (cédulas) are issued by the Secretaría de Educación Pública and searchable by name or number on its registry, which in our tests did not answer from connections outside Mexico. Ask the clinic for a screenshot of the registry entry, or run the search from a Mexican connection before treatment. SEP Registro Nacional de Profesionistas.
Accreditation and membership claims
Claims as the clinic states them, with where each can be checked. A logo on a website is not a listing in an accreditor's register.
Mexican specialty board certification (Consejo)
Surgeons described as board certified by the CMCG; some also CMCOEM
Claimed on the clinic's site.
How to check: each Consejo publishes its own list; ask which one.
International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity
Dr. Montalvo 'Active Member of the IFSO (2016-Present)'
Claimed on the clinic's site.
How to check: public member search at International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity.
