twelveoaks Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 This is an odd topic to post but I am hoping that the members can help out. I need to have ear wax removed beforeI can be properly tested for a hearing aid. Can anyone recommend a doctor that can do this. I would prefer a specialist on ears mas opposed to a G.P.

solajijic Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Use the search function. You would be surprised how many times this subject has been discussed over the last decade. Ask Polo the hearing specialist who comes to LCS in Ajijic every week. 045-331-571-4088 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdmowers Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Dr. Rodriguez at the Ajijic Clinic on the mountain side of the carretera at the corner of Javier Mina (across from Gossips) and across Javier Mina from Multiva will do ear cleanings for the standard fee which I think is now $250p.

RVGRINGO Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Search twice: Once with earwax and again with removal. The problem is that ear and wax are each three letter words & are rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsnob Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Just go to Clinica Ajijic, they do wonderful job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegarn Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 This is the specialist that I go to at the Quality Care clinic in the Plaza Interlago. I require special care with earwax removal, because I have a perforated eardrum. Dr. Nogueira is very good, and understands the special care needed. He speaks very good English. http://www.qcdoctors.org/dr-luis-garcia-nogueira/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm also have had very good results for Dr. Garcia. He is probalbly one the best ENTs in Guadalajara. It is not cheap though - 650 pesos for first visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave0415 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 The Chapala Municipal Clinic is on Chinchorros at the corner of Lindavista. Take Zaragoza north from Pepe Guizar for 5 blocks (mas o menos), turn left on Lindavista and it is about 4 blocks on the corner of Chinchorros There is no charge for treatment but you have to pay for supplies used. NO other payment is allowed. One great use is for transfusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stantheman Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Don't know about your statement of "no charge for treatment" Dave0415 - I had to pay 70 pesos upon arrival and registering at reception and they didn't even know at that stage what supplies would be used. Perhaps the 70 pesos was just a newly instigated registration fee? I have been going to the clinic regularly over the past few years for the same treatment and initially they never charged, although the previous time for this treatment they did charge me 100 pesos. My last visit a week ago incurred no charges for supplies although all that they used was some Aqua Oxigenada and a new syringe. For people intending to go there for the first time (very little English spoken apart from the lady doctor that I saw), first register at the reception counter (hole in the wall) for computer input. Then a short distance further along the corridor to a small office, then sit down until called by a nurse to check blood pressure, weight and height. Sit down again until called forward to see a doctor (there usually is more than one doctor present). Take a book!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it seem to treat all minor conditions? (I would assume more serious things like heart attack are not treated here.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stantheman Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Don't quote me, but I believe that they treat most minor things and send you on for anything that they can't handle eg xrays, heart, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they may be collecting up front for the supplies expected to be used. They used to get a fair number of walkers who did not pay for supplies on the way out. The fee charged to you certainly does not cover Doctor and Nurses fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bezerk Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 You should not need a specialist for ear wax removal, it is a minor procedure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I have to get mine done regularly. You'd be surprised how many doctors are complete klutzes when it comes to earwax. I've had several fail to remove it, and left me with bloody ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Dra. Teresa Morelos in Jocotepec. Nasty drive getting there these days, but worth the peace of mind (or ear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
