He has not been operated on by Dr. Armando Carreno. In a thread asking for Mexico recommendations, he lists Carreno in Tijuana as one of three options, saying he has seen roughly 4500-5000 dollars for him, which is secondhand and not a quote he received. He needs about 3k follicular units and says he found no patient reviews for two other clinics he is weighing.

They give no verdict, graft count or price for that procedure. Their second FUE, 12 weeks before the post, was with a different doctor, Dr Lastra. Asked about Carreno's reputation, they said they had never heard any negative comments about his work.
