How To Research Mexican Doctor?



Recommended Posts

I know the places to inquire in USA but how do you research and know you are getting a good doctor/hospital in Mexico - especially with a language barrier? At this point I'm not looking for opinions, just the basic facts. Do they track doctors like they do here? Mortality rates, infection rates, complaints, etc. I'm not sure where to begin - besides the internet.

I would have imagined choosing a Mexico doctor would be very difficult. I was planning on difficulty but my decision was very easy. A personal friend of mine was recommending the same doctor who did her lap-band 5 years ago, so he is who i started researching at first. I got on forums all over and was ready other people's experiences with him. Upon researching for him, I came across the doctor I am using. I had such a strong inner pull towards him. So I started focusing most of my research to this new doctor. To much of my surprise he was who I felt most comfortable inside about. I did get the chance to meet him a seminar this past May, and seeing. meeting, and having him to answer my questions personally one on one, only secured my decision. I have chosen the best doctor for myself.

So I would imagine finding a good doctor or researching a mexico doctor would be difficult if you didn't get that inner feeling of "Thats The One". I would suggest reading the forums, researching the internet, checking their stats are all good places to start. In the end you really have to go with the one you are most comfortable with.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
