We're one of the clinics here, so we play by one rule: every competitor fact is their own published words, cited and correctable. No clinic on this page is bad. The only question worth asking is whose trade-offs fit you.
Same Tijuana corridor, same 30 minutes from San Diego, same regulator. The difference is time. CPI publishes a five-day protocol, four hotel nights. Celva is one day: picked up in San Diego, treated by midday, home that evening.
