About me
Meritxell Ruiz Celorio
Surgeon · MD, MSc
I'm a surgeon, and I practice surgery with a focus on patient safety. I perform minimally invasive and laparoscopic procedures such as gallbladder surgery, hernia repair, treatment of hemorrhoidal disease (hemorrhoids) and removal of cysts and lipomas, among others.
I teach undergraduate and graduate students at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences of Tecnológico de Monterrey.
In consultation, I aim to answer all your questions, help you improve your habits and avoid unnecessary procedures.
To restore your health and quality of life with the least intervention and invasion possible; respecting your autonomy and dignity, with your safety as my main goal.
