Official Statement from the Office of Dr. Iván Aguilar Enríquez
We are aware of recent posts circulating on this platform regarding a cancelled medical procedure at our clinic. While medical confidentiality generally limits our ability to discuss patient care, the public nature of these claims and the explicit waiver of privacy by the individuals involved necessitate a factual clarification.
Our clinic is dedicated to providing exceptional care, and we take pride in having successfully treated hundreds of international patients. In this specific case, our medical and surgical teams were fully prepared to provide that same high standard of care.
The scheduled surgery was NOT cancelled by Dr. Aguilar or our medical staff. The procedure was halted approximately 30 minutes prior to its scheduled start time. At that moment, the patient was fully prepped, an IV had been administered, the operating room was equipped, and our anesthesia and surgical teams were on-site and ready to proceed.
The cancellation was the direct result of the patient’s parents arriving at the facility with legal counsel and threatening judicial action against our practice if the surgery moved forward. Faced with this formal legal intervention regarding the patient’s status, we were forced to suspend the procedure immediately.
At the time of the cancellation, the patient’s father, Yevhen Shneyderis Anbinder, signed a formal liability release (“Carta de Deslinde de Responsabilidad”) dated March 6, 2025. In this legally binding document, he declared under oath that the cancellation of the medical procedure was in no way the responsibility or negligence of Dr. Iván Aguilar Enríquez or the institution. Furthermore, he made a formal legal commitment to safeguard the name, recognition, and prestige of the doctor against any disputes arising from this cancellation.
Regarding the financial dispute: because the surgery was forcefully halted at the final hour, all provided funds had already been exhausted to cover the non-refundable costs of the specialized medical staff, operating room reservation, and surgical supplies that were actively deployed for the patient’s care.
We understand the patient’s frustration, but these grievances are misdirected. They must be addressed with the family members whose legal intervention directly caused the cancellation and the subsequent financial loss.
We stand by our medical professionals and will not tolerate ongoing defamation that explicitly violates a signed legal agreement.
We remain fully committed to the health, safety, and satisfaction of the patients who trust us with their care.
