green bay wi Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 My brother-in-law has a torn retina and needs laser surgery. Dr. Claudia is on maternity leave until January 2020 so unable to go to her. Can anyone suggest / refer me to another doctor either here or in Guadalajara?

gogirl Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Two of her relatives are taking over in her absence. I personally would trust them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Dr. Claudia may be on maternity leave but the clinic in Guadalajara where she does surgery is not. Call her office and get the clinic's contact information ASAP. RVgringo also has info on another Doctor in Guadalajara. Edited to add: go girl is correct. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Vargas is an excellent ophthalmologist who practices at Hospital Puerto de Hierro in Guadalajara and has an auxiliary office at the Ajijic Hospital, where he comes every Tuesday. Appts. are made at the central desk there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Call Claudia's office right away and they will book you into the surgery clinic in Guadalajara. It's an emergency. Your BIL should move as little as possible to prevent further damage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha1 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 http://www.clinicasantalucia.com.mx/ They handled my emergency well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Get to an optamologo immediately. Retina problems are urgent emergencies and waiting even 24 hours can contribute to blindness! I used Dr. Enrique Roig, enriqueroig@retina.com.mx , and had my retina repairs done at Clinica Santa Lucia; http://www.clinicasantalucia.com.mx/ My sight was saved in one eye. The other was stabilized and filled with silicon oil, but it has some residual minor vision. Hurry! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
