High-precision general surgery, no improvisation

A modern approach to resolve hernias, diastasis recti, hiatal/reflux, and gallbladder with open, minimally invasive laparoscopic, or robotic surgery technique, according to your case and safety.

Who I am

Dr. Chris Ramírez

I'm a general surgeon focused on minimally invasive and robotic surgery in Puerto Vallarta and CDMX. My work centers on resolving frequent and complex surgical problems with a clear process: diagnosis, planning, safe execution, and close follow-up until discharge.

In consultation, I explain options and decisions with direct language and without rush. Technique is not chosen by trend: it's chosen by your anatomy, your medical history, and what works best for you for an organized recovery.

Experience and Safety

Technology with criteria, safety with method

I have 15 years of experience in general surgery, more than 10 years in robotic surgery and over 500 robotic procedures. This translates into something very concrete: refined technique, detailed planning, and the ability to choose the right approach (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) without forcing a single option for everyone.

I work with:

Surgical Safety Checklist

Enhanced Recovery Protocols

Pain control, early mobilization, clear goals

Risk-Based Preoperative Pathway

Basic studies and, if applicable, preoperative assessment and additional testing

Real Follow-Up

10-day review and 24/7 contact with my team and me
