- Our Story
Built on twenty years of refinement.
Twenty years ago, medical tourism in Mexico was fragmented — limited options, no continuity of care, and patients largely on their own. Angeles emerged to change that, building the country's first end-to-end medical tourism network.
01
2006 · Founded
A new model for medical tourism.
Angeles is founded with a single mission — connect international patients with Mexico's best hospitals, surgeons, and amenities under one coordinated network. The first patients are U.S. and Canadian, traveling for cosmetic and bariatric surgery.
02
2010 · First international accreditation
JCI standards come to the network.
Our partner hospital earns Joint Commission International accreditation — the same standard applied to top U.S. academicmedical centers. From this point forward, every Angeles network facility holds international certification.
03
2014 · Surgical talent expansion
Board-certified surgeons join the roster.
Top-tier plastic, orthopedic, and oncology specialists — many fellowship-trained at Johns Hopkins, MD Anderson, and Mayo —join the network. The full-scale Specialty Centers of Excellence are formalized.
04
2019 · U.S.-based case management
Bilingual coordinators on both sides of the border.
U.S.-based bilingual case managers become every patient's single point of contact — from inquiry, through travel, through 90-day follow-up — coordinating directly with local primary care.
05
2024 · 20-year evolution
40,000+ international patients, and counting.
Two decades in, Angeles is Mexico's #1 medical tourism network. Our 180-bed multispecialty hospital, partner recovery hotels, and U.S. operations now serve 40,000+ patients each year across cosmetic, orthopedic, oncology, bariatric, and cardiac care.

Today · Looking forward
The next chapter.
We continue to expand specialties, build out infrastructure, andraise the standard of care for international patients. The mission hasn't changed — accessible, exceptional healthcare that transcends geographical boundaries.
