Dr. Edgar Serrano García is a bariatric and general surgeon practicing in Tijuana, certified by the Consejo Mexicano de Cirugía General (CMCGAC–CONACEM) in both general and bariatric surgery. He completed a high specialty in bariatric and metabolic surgery at UNAM — Mexico’s national university — and advanced laparoscopy training, bringing specialized surgical technique to his weight loss and metabolic procedures.
Dr. Serrano holds international membership in the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), one of the leading professional bodies for bariatric surgeons globally, and maintains surgical privileges at NewCity Hospital and Río Médica in Tijuana.
