Each new year brings with it new energy. We’re full of resolutions and new hope, and faced with the opportunity to change some aspect of our lives, be it personal or in a more general fashion. Of course, many good intentions are lost along the way, but others are carried out to our immense satisfaction. Personally speaking, 2011 is a year full of hope and fulfillment since I’m privileged enough to be part of this great life and hope project at the CMQ Hospitals in Puerto Vallarta. I’m part of the second generation of a family committed to converting Puerto Vallarta into the leading beach and medical destination in Latin America. This goal implies constant innovation. We are committed to becoming part of our dear Vallarta’s history. Our calling is to generate the conditions required to transform this paradise into a prime destination for medical tourism.

We have continuously renovated the medical offerings here in Puerto Vallarta and will continue to do so. We are committed to this huge challenge and will be able to overcome any obstacles in our way. For this year alone, one of our greatest propositions has been to bring LASER technology into our city. We will be carrying out cutting edge procedures in medical science in the branch of medicine that cuts across science and art. We have been instrumental in bringing this avant-garde technology to our destination and I’m proud to introduce Dr. Patricio Centurion to you in this second edition. He is a highly respected international plastic surgeon.

Laser surgery is a reality around the world, but these innovative techniques are barely emerging in our country. Their usage has blossomed in Latin America in the past 5 years and as such it is our privilege to offer Laser Plastic Surgery from the Brazilian school, one of the most prestigious schools in the world.
