blankletmusic Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 They vary greatly, I'm sure, but just trying to get an idea of what the usual wait times are for different healthcare services. Is it usually pretty quick ( subjective, I know) to see family practitioners, specialists, physical therapists, etc? What are some of your experiences, (both good and bad ) with this? I'm talking about private healthcare services only, not IMSS where wait times can be very long for most issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 the more you pay and the quicker they get to you.. pretty simple here. You do not want to be on life support, tell them you have no money and off you go. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 After being here 16 years, I've found every doc I've seen has been pretty much on time. Waaay different than in the US. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMama Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Remember that many specialists only come to Lakeside one or two days a week. Depending on when they are here, and how popular they are, getting an appointment can take awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tingting Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 If you don't mind driving to Guad and can read Spanish, using https://www.doctoralia.com.mx is a fantastic way to find a specialist and get verified reviews. You also see the calendar (for most) and can make your appointment. The site also tells you what languages the doctor speaks. If you're ok-ish in Spanish but more comfortable in English, it comes in very handy. Obviously, times can vary but they're usually quite quick --a week or less. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blankletmusic Posted May 1 Author Report Share Posted May 1 I think most of the replies so far deal with specialists. Good to hear the wait times are short. What about other healthcare providers, ie GPs, physical therapists, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
