Through it all, I was more than impressed with Dr Salvador's medical expertise and his devotion to his patient; I have never been looked after so well by a member of the medical profession, and I have lived in several countries throughout the world. I can do nothing but highly recommend Dr. Salvador as a Cardiologist Specialist and to thank him for taking such good care of me

I met with Dr. Moya and explained that my friend already had low blood pressure and has a pacemaker, add medicine to lower his blood pressure and he would have a big problem, especially since he lives alone. The doctor said he needed oxygen all the time and should buy an oxygen concentrator and referred to his low oxygen levels (remember he had pneumonia at the time). Within two weeks he was perfect - from the antibiotics prescribed by another doctor, and his oxygen levels were and are up to normal. A simple case of pneumonia was very expensive because Dr. Moya did 4,000 pesos worth of tests at Integrity, plus the expense of the other cardiologist and neumologo plus trips to Guadalajara to get two opinions that my friend did not have pulmonary hypertension. The definitive test was a digital chest xray which the second cardiologist prescribed. You can actually see the pulmonary vein and it should have been the first test ordered. It showed the pneumonia.

My spouse also had problems with Dr.Moya's diagnosis...he told my spouse that he would have to 'live with his condition'
a condition that sounds very similar to that of your friend.
Another cardiologist at the same ( Integrity) clinic told us that this was definitely not the case, and that help was available.
Dr.Moya's fee is high, so you'd better have deep pockets if this is your doctor of choice.

The problem I had is that Dr. Moya, cardiologist did not send my friend for the first line test which is a digital chest xray. Rather he did some very expensive tests in the clinic and never did prescribe the xray. Both Dr. Brisena and Dr. Rafael said the chest xray is the first test for either pulmonary hypertension or pneumonia. And an oxygen generator would have cost hundreds of dollars US or more and he said that we should buy that immediately.
PS we went to Dr. Brisena for a follow up yesterday since my friend has a pacemaker and his oxygen level was 96 - so no problem there.
If you want a third local opinion you may want to try Dr. Ramon Garcia Garcia in La Floresta Wed. evenings - has a clinic in Guad. I do think Dr. Brisena is a better cardiologist though - just a little more thorough.

Dr. Rafael Rodriguez Blanco is excellent. He saved a friend's life here 3 years ago and I saw him when I was in the hospital for some relatively minor surgery last year.

As I recall Dr Garcia Garcia has a very large property there on which he has a home and casitas for his family etc. I gues he has lots of room to expandDr. Ramon Garcia Garcia has a new clinic out in La Cristina: 766-4622. I haven't been there since I always go to his office in Guadalajara, but one of my friends saw him there and says the facilities are excellent.

My point: Doctors are not God, they make mistakes, but sometimes, they only seem to have made mistakes. But we keep looking at them to be flawless Gods, when they are not. And, one's feelings about the worth of any given doctor are like one's feelings about a breed of dog - highly subjective depending upon expectations.

Dr. Garcia Garcia still has the office in La Floresta he uses on Wednesday evenings but his office in La Cristina is new and state of the art. I just had a stress test and doppler done there on Saturday. Even though La Cristina is farther for me, I would rather make the longer trip for the much nicer facilities.I didn't know Dr. Ramon Garcia Garcia had moved - thanks for the heads up. He was the one who diagnosed my friend's need for a pacemaker. I like both he and Brisena as cardiologist very well and Garcia did a complete check up on me a few years back at his clinic - state of the art equipment. I'll have to call him and find out where he is in La Cristina. Dr. Garcia has saved several friend's lives and La Cristina is even closer to me.
