Terms of Service

Welcome to Cervantes Bariatrics (drcervantesbariatric.com). By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. These terms outline the rules and regulations for the use of our website and the preliminary coordination of medical and surgical services. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use our website.

1. Role of the Company & Services

Cervantes Bariatrics provides medical tourism scheduling, logistical facilitation, and coordinates world-class metabolic and bariatric surgery performed by Dr. Luis Cervantes and his medical team at Centro Médico Premier in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. While we provide comprehensive administrative and educational support online, actual surgical and medical services are rendered exclusively in our designated hospital facilities.

2. Medical Disclaimer & No Doctor-Patient Relationship

The content provided on this website (including text, graphics, images, and other materials) is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Using this website, submitting an evaluation form, or communicating with our patient coordinators does not create a formal physician-patient relationship. A formal relationship is only established once an official medical evaluation has been completed by Dr. Cervantes and the surgical team. Always seek the advice of your own physician with any questions regarding a medical condition before traveling internationally for surgery.

3. Accuracy of Patient Information

When you provide medical history or personal information to our team to evaluate your candidacy for bariatric surgery, you agree to provide current, complete, and highly accurate information.

Failure to disclose medical conditions, previous surgeries, current medications, or illicit drug use can pose severe and life-threatening health risks during anesthesia and surgery. Such omissions may result in the immediate cancellation of your surgical procedure upon arrival, without liability or full refund obligations from Cervantes Bariatrics.

4. Limitation of Liability

By using our services to schedule a procedure, you acknowledge and agree that any medical or surgical procedure involves inherent risks, including complications or, in rare cases, death. Patients traveling internationally for medical care assume these risks voluntarily.

While Cervantes Bariatrics upholds the highest medical and safety standards, you agree to hold Cervantes Bariatrics, its administrators, and agents harmless from claims, damages, or liabilities arising directly or indirectly from your travel logistics, third-party accommodations, or unforeseeable surgical complications.

5. User Responsibilities

As a user of our website and services, you agree to:

• Be at least 18 years of age to use our services or submit a medical evaluation.
• Follow all pre-operative and post-operative medical instructions provided by our team, as failure to do so directly impacts your safety and surgical outcomes.
• Use the website for lawful purposes only and refrain from any activity that could harm, disable, or impair the website's functionality.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

Unless otherwise stated, Cervantes Bariatrics and/or its licensors own the intellectual property rights for all material, logos, branding, text, and images on this website. All intellectual property rights are reserved. You may access this from Cervantes Bariatrics for your own personal use subjected to restrictions set in these terms and conditions.

You must not:

• Republish material from Cervantes Bariatrics.
• Sell, rent, or sub-license material from Cervantes Bariatrics.

7. Jurisdiction and Governing Law

Cervantes Bariatrics operates strictly in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. By choosing to seek medical treatment with our facility, you acknowledge and agree that any medical, surgical, or logistical services provided will be governed exclusively by the laws of the United Mexican States (Mexico) and the State of Baja California. Any legal claims or disputes related to your treatment, travel, or use of this website must be resolved within the jurisdiction of the courts in Tijuana, Baja California.

8. Modifications to Terms

Cervantes Bariatrics reserves the right to revise or replace these Terms of Service at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date."
