"After tearing my MCL and meniscus for the second time, I needed surgery—but after months of delays in Canada, I began searching for options abroad. Through expat Facebook groups, I found Dr. Arjona in Cancun. From the start, he was responsive, professional, and thorough.
He accepted my previous MRI, conducted his own exam, and walked me through every step of the process, from pre-op bloodwork to recovery.The surgery was a success. Dr. Arjona even provided a USB with videos and photos of the procedure and explained how he addressed additional cartilage damage using advanced techniques to promote healing.
While I’ll have to avoid high-impact activities, I’m grateful to be walking again—without the pain I had for nearly 10 months. The care I received here in Mexico far exceeded what I experienced back home in Canada. Thank you, Dr. Arjona and team!"
