Dr. Elias Ortiz Reaches 10,000 Bariatric Surgeries Milestone
TIJUANA, Mexico, March 5, 2020 (Newswire.com) - Elias Ortiz & Company, one of the leading weight loss specialists in Mexico servicing the USA and Canada, announced today that co-founder and Chief Surgeon Dr. Elias Ortiz has reached a new milestone by completing 10,000 bariatric surgeries over his eight-year career as a bariatric surgeon. He was the chief surgeon at A Lighter Me for seven years before leaving to co-found Elias Ortiz & Company in July of 2019.
As a reference for comparing the significance of achieving 10,000 bariatric surgeries, according to the Global Clinic Rating (GCR), an independent international organization that healthcare providers can submit information to for accreditation, the number one bariatric surgeon listed has performed 7,500 hundred surgeries over 10 years. Elias Ortiz & Company is not a member of the GCR and, therefore, is not included in their rankings.

“Performing 10,000 bariatric surgeries means you're an expert in your field. One of the top, if not the most experienced, weight loss surgeons in the world. We're proud to provide this level of expertise in weight loss surgery to our patients and aim to be the leading weight loss surgery provider in Mexico servicing the USA and Canada,” said co-founder Michele Riter.
