In January, 2016, I weighed an all-time high of 330 pounds. As you can imagine, my health was very poor. It was then that I met Dr. Rafael Moguel at CMC in Cozumel, Mexico. He informed me that my heart had an ejection fracture below 30 – VERY bad! As a result, I had to have a pacemaker/defibrillator implanted. I was scared to death, but Dr. Moguel had a very calming way, and he listened to and worked WITH me. I will forever be grateful for that.
In March of the year, I began working with Rafa (yes, he has asked that I refer to him using his first name, which speaks volumes) at Clinics of the Heart offering a variety of procedure to people from around the world via medical tourism. I have never trusted physicians in the past. However, I cannot say enough about Rafa’s genuine, caring, and compassionate care for each and every patient. I have and will continue to trust him with my life, and will recommend him 100% to anyone who asks.
Since that fateful day almost 2 years ago, I have lost 130 pounds, and my health has greatly improved. In fact, my heart has recovered dramatically. It has been so dramatic that yesterday, October 21, 2017, Rafa removed my device! I was extremely anxious during the procedure as it was done under local anesthetic. Again, he was very patient with me, and the procedure went smoothly. I only had to stay a couple of hours, then went home.
I proudly work with this amazing cardiologist and have absolute faith in him and his skills. Should you ever require any of the procedures he provides, I would encourage you to contact him without hesitation! I am forever grateful to Rafa for his professional care and for his friendship!
