Trusted medical insights
by our healthcare professionals
Dr. Gutierrez's training, board certifications, and the procedures he leads at Allure RT MX.
Dr. Gutierrez earned his medical license in 2005 and his specialty in general surgery in 2014, then went on to certify in bariatric surgery — the specialty he practices today. He is currently board-certified in both, through the Mexican Council of General Surgery under Mexico's national CONACEM system. He operates with a dedicated team he shares with Dra. Silvia Castillo, so the faces you meet before surgery are the ones beside you in the operating room.
Two surgeons, one team
Dr. Gutierrez and plastic surgeon Dra. Silvia Castillo operate with the same dedicated nine-person team — surgeons, anesthesia, nursing, and patient coordination working together on every case.
