CHILLIN Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Also important, are you saying Dr. Hector Briseno now has hospital privileges at SAT, or are you referring to Dr. Garcia? Dr. Daniel Briseno has privileges there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 1 hour ago, CHILLIN said: Dr. Ivan is usually based in Guadalajara and has a successful plastic surgery practise. He lives in Ajijic though, so always welcoming some work closer to home. He used to be at Jocotepec/El Chante hospital. I asked for a card, he told me that Drs. working under the Seguro Popular, at that time, are not allowed to give out cards or direct patients to their private practise. The other surgeon at that hospital is also said to be very skillful, but Spanish only. He is related (brother?) to the (ex?) Presidente of Jocotepec. That explains the well done stitch work. He came across as very down-to-earth and personable and I'd definitely recommend him, just not SAH. Again, this is based on numerous problems, but YMMV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector Briseno has had privileges at SAT since practically day one and has attended to me there more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmh Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Yes Dr. Briseño, the cardiologist, works out of there if you have to have a procedure and you chose to go there.. I saw him there two weeks ago, as I was waiting for another doctor. ., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyjillin Posted October 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Got my bill from Dr. Briseno who's assistant also treated me. $223 Canbucks. Think about this -no cost to go to a hospital in Guadalajara which would have added more expense and because of the lengthier time may have caused even more damage. Cruz Roja was at mi casa in 5 minutes and got me there in another 5. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THIS HOSPITAL HERE!!!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Lakeside, a Canadian dollar was worth about 16 pesos, the last time I checked. (or about 76 US cents.) These rates change slightly each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexijims1 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Congrats on your recovery and your bill. Unfortunately. I paid 149,000 pesos for a laproscopic hernia surgery at Puerto Hierro Sur Hospital in late February. It was a huge rip-off. That was for hospital only and my surgeon said that was the third occurrence of outrageous billing of his patients there in one week. That did not even include spending a night in the hospital. In and out the same day. I certainly recommend staying away from Puerto Hierro Sur Hospital !! It might be more convenient than going into Guad, but not at that price !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmh Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 In an area where there are many people having income from different countres the quotes should be in Mexican pesos and each one can figure it out in their own currency..

I do not care what the Canadian dollar is more than the Austalian or the yen.. Ten years ago we had an emergency trip to a GDL cardiologist. After tests and exam, he started to make out the bill in pesos. Then he asked, will it be better for your US insurance if I make it out in USD? I'd never had an outside US claim before and didn't know; it had been a long nerve-wracking day, so I told him to go ahead and use USD (though we paid in pesos). When I filed the claim it was initially rejected because it was not in the local currency! After I explained that I was the one who had requested the bill be converted to USD, they paid it.

Irrelevant....seriously we could start finding other places around the world, like India, Thailand etc that is probably cheaper than Mexico..or Canada where the procedure would not be "free" ..well not exactly because your taxes cover their health care system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone in Mexico who quotes me a price in US dollars, assuming I'm some American expat who thinks in dollars, or even has access to them, which I don't, immediately gets informed that I was under the impression that we are in Mexico, that they should not make assumptions about my nationality or my finances, and to please tell me the price in the national currency.

mudgirl Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 3 hours ago, Upfront said: if the frikkin real estate business here would list in pesos instead of dollars all this other crap would go away My understanding is that it's actually illegal to list prices for anything in foreign currency. They can list a US, or other dollar amount, but that would be only in addition to listing it in Mexican pesos. And if I were a well-off Mexican looking to rent or purchase a house, or a piece of art in a gallery, and saw the prices only listed in US dollars, I would be offended and assume that the owners weren't interested in my business and would look elsewhere..
