Professional profile

Dr. Fernando García Govea

General and bariatric surgeon

Dr. Fernando García Govea

My practice in Tijuana focuses on general surgery, laparoscopy and obesity treatment. I care for patients with gallbladder and bile duct problems, hernias, esophageal disorders and digestive conditions, as well as those seeking a bariatric assessment.

Before recommending a procedure, I review each person's symptoms, tests and medical history. I explain the options, risks and necessary follow-up so that patients can take part in the decision.

I also assess people with symptoms or difficulties after previous surgery to determine whether they need further testing, medical treatment or another operation.
