Dr. Héctor Joaquín Pérez Corzo is a bariatric and general surgeon in Mexico who works with Renew Bariatrics. His practice includes primary weight-loss procedures, selected complex revisions and endoscopic treatments, with care coordinated in Tijuana and Cancún.
People often find Dr. Pérez after an earlier operation has stopped meeting their needs. Others are considering their first procedure and want to understand the difference between surgery and endoscopic treatment. This website provides an evidence-based starting point for those conversations; an individual treatment recommendation requires review of the patient’s history and anatomy.
Medical education and surgical training
Dr. Pérez’s published professional biography identifies medical education at Universidad La Salle in Mexico and general-surgery training associated with the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and the ISSSTE hospital system. His clinical background includes general surgery as well as bariatric surgery. Renew’s professional profile.
Medical education, specialty certification, professional memberships and hospital privileges are separate credentials. Our credentials page explains the documented records and how to request confirmation for the date and location of your planned treatment.
Clinical focus
Dr. Pérez’s work with Renew includes gastric sleeve surgery, gastric bypass, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and transoral outlet reduction. His revisional practice also includes evaluating patients who have previously undergone sleeve or gastric-band surgery.
For someone seeking a revision, the important starting point is the problem that needs to be addressed: recurrent weight gain, reflux, difficulty eating, an anatomical complication or a combination of concerns. Our revision surgery library is organized around those questions. Some procedures are discussed for education even when Renew does not offer them; the relevant pages state that distinction.
Published clinical work
Dr. Pérez is a coauthor of a 2023 case report in the Journal of Surgical Case Reports concerning an unexpected leiomyoma found during laparoscopic sleeve surgery. The author listing records his Renew Bariatrics affiliation. This is a documented contribution to the medical literature, rather than a general claim of research leadership. Read the publication record.
Documented professional education
The official program of CMCOEM’s April 2025 regional meeting names Dr. Pérez as a co-coordinator of a clinical-video session. A separate CMCOEM certificate records his participation in a 2023 debate about bariatric robotic surgery. These records document specific professional activities; they do not imply that every technique discussed is offered in his practice. Details and original records appear on the teaching and publications page.
Care through Renew Bariatrics
Renew’s current physician profile lists Dr. Pérez as speaking English and Spanish and working at SER Hospital in Tijuana and Hospital Joya in Cancún. The assigned facility depends on the treatment plan and schedule. Read where care is coordinated before arranging travel.
Renew’s coordinators handle initial inquiries and help collect information for clinical review. If you request Dr. Pérez, say so when submitting your inquiry. Surgeon assignment, procedure availability and timing should be confirmed before you make travel commitments.
What patients have shared
Selected reviews naming Dr. Pérez describe communication, bedside manner and the experience of traveling for care. The patient-results gallery adds published procedure and weight information where available. These accounts are individual experiences, not a substitute for a discussion of benefits, alternatives and risks.
Prepare for an evaluation
For a first operation, prepare a summary of your health history, medications and previous weight-management treatment. If you have already had surgery, also gather the original operative report, the date and type of operation, your weight history and any recent endoscopy or imaging reports. The revision-evaluation guide explains how these records help.
