The hospital’s approach is centered on full-journey care.

Its facility is designed to keep most services on-site, including clinical laboratory testing, X-rays, operating rooms, recovery rooms, pharmacy services, and state-of-the-art equipment. This reduces the need for outside appointments and helps streamline the pre-op and post-op process.
Beyond bariatric care, Hospital BCN also offers access to plastic surgery, dentistry, facial rejuvenation, and spa wellness services, creating a broader recovery and transformation model for patients who want medical treatment and aesthetic improvement within the same network.
Hospital BCN highlights the convenience of having key services available on-site so patients do not need to travel elsewhere for routine pre-op or post-op needs.
The facility includes:
BC Dental & Spa
Aesthetic Dentistry, Rejuvenation & Wellness in Tijuana
Hospital BCN also offers access to BC Dental & Spa, a complementary beauty, dental, and wellness center designed for patients who want to combine surgical care with smile enhancement, facial rejuvenation, or recovery-focused spa services.
Available services include cosmetic and general dentistry, digital smile design, implants, veneers, crowns, orthodontics, deep cleanings, root canal therapy, dental rehabilitation, non-invasive facial rejuvenation, microneedling, acne and wrinkle treatments, facials, massage therapy, aromatherapy, and hand and foot care.
Hospital BCN welcomes international patients seeking structured, high-quality care in a modern, English-friendly environment close to the U.S. border. Its team is experienced in supporting patients who travel from abroad and is organized around both the medical and logistical sides of treatment.

Visa & Entry:
Many travelers from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Latin America can enter Mexico for short stays without needing a traditional visa, depending on nationality and travel documents. Entry rules can vary, so patients should confirm current requirements with the nearest Mexican consulate or official immigration resources before travel.
Passports should generally be valid for the duration of the stay, and patients are advised to carry printed or digital confirmation of their hospital appointments and travel plans.
Travel Tips:
From the moment I was picked up at the Airport in San Diego to the drive to the hotel then to the hospital the following morning. The staff has been tremendous! Especially Beto, extremely attentive, kind and knowledgeable, Definitely the person you go too for whatever you need during your stay at Hospital B.C. The hospital has been very clean (better than in the states) ! Had my Surgery done yesterday on 5/25/26 by Dr. Illian and I cant wait to see the results down this journey. I Highly recommend Hospital B.C to anyone who is looking at transforming there life for the better 🙏🏼👍🏻
A special thank you to Beto, who was incredibly helpful from the beginning. He was always available to answer our questions, guide us through every step, and make sure everything went smoothly. We also want to thank Shamir for his kindness and support. He was friendly, respectful, and made us feel comfortable during our stay. Finally, thank you to all the nurses, coordinators, drivers, and hospital staff. Everyone was genuinely kind, caring, and professional.

Thank you all for taking such great care of us!
I want to express my sincere gratitude to the entire team at Hospital BC for the outstanding care I received during my VSG procedure. A special thank you to Beto, Luis, Mariel, Henry, and Flor, as well as all the staff, for their professionalism, kindness, and dedication.

I highly recommend Dr. Jalil Ilian to anyone considering this procedure. You will be in truly great hands.
After weeks of research on surgeons, hospitals and recovery options, I am so glad that I chose Hospital BC. Today is my last day and I travel home in the morning. I literally have ZERO bad things to say about any aspect of my Mommy Makeover surgery stay. From the moment my friend and I were picked up from the airport we were met with kindness and such a willingness to help. Dr Marciales was so kind and helped bring my vision to life. I may only be 6 days post op but I am so in love with his work. Loved my time with my lymphatic masseuse (i wish my brain would let me remember her name) but even with a language barrier she always made me feel so much relief. Beto and Luis ALWAYS went above and beyond their duties and i cant say enough about their kind souls. However... very top of my list of FAVORITE encounters was with Judith!! We welcomed and looked forward to her smile and friendly disposition every evening. She gets a 10 out of 10 in my book! I would give 5 stars for her alone. I was worried being away from my family for so long but I now know that I could NEVER have done this alone at home and I am so glad that I did it all here!
I came to hospital bc in Tijuana as a companion while my friend got her gastric sleeve done. The whole process was very smooth and straightforward. Very nice and clean facilities. The first night we stayed in a super nice hotel booking handled by hospital bc, within walking distance to a shopping mall which we enjoyed walking around! The staff is so kind and helpful. Sal was our driver who picked us up from the airport. Right away he made us feel safe and comfortable. Beto was our evening shift concierge. We really enjoyed talking with him and he’s always there to help with anything we needed. The surgeon was very informative and had a good energetic personality. There’s also a cafe located in the same courtyard as the hospital for people who are not getting surgery to eat. Everything I ordered was excellent! You can log into your own streaming services on the tv in the room and you have control over the rooms heating and air which works very well!! See pics attached! ✨🥰
