We got the message, too, and my jaw hit the floor. When do you ever hear of a company REDUCING its fee?

I know how to read and added that I wished good bennies for Dra. Claudia and family. Is it so difficult for you to realize that two things can be similar in tone, but not the same? Read my comment more carefully, por favor. I made no conection with HPH.

In the clinic you didn't go to,it's an out patient procedure.no need for stay pre and post. There is a reason that there is a Ferrarie and Lamborghini showroom beside HPH where you went to contribute.
I don't know what Dra. Claudia and her family drive, but I hope it's something expensive and that I contributed to it because she (and Dr. Silva, the retinologist) saved my eyesight. Quality care deserves quality bennies.

Lol...this should be in my house but I'd need more bottles.

Nope, sorry, but nope. I agree with your post in theory, but our annoying little troll has tried to cause tremendous damage to the reputations of very good people who are slogging through muck. Sometimes, you have to take a stand and fight back.

Another vote here for Dr. Claudia. My husband and I each had both eyes done (each eye on a separate day... she will NOT do both at once).
That's absolutely not true. My husband and I had both eyes done at the same time. Excellent doctor and excellent results. Also...her sister, Dra. Paulina, is great, too.
ETA: I had my eyes done about 3 years ago, so the policy on one or two eyes may have changed. Also, my eyes were $94,000 pesos but that was because I had trifocals (love 'em!) and one special lens because of bad astigmatism. Frankly, it was worth every penny and I'd do it all again in a NY second.

I think there is another type besides the "Trolls". There are certain people who get as much pleasure as the "Trolls" by continuing to "feed the Trolls". No matter what you tell them, they just keep on every time a "Troll" posts. You can see who they are here, just as you can see the "trolls". These "Feeders" get too much pleasure to stop, just like the "Trolls". Both groups live for their opportunities here.
Please be fair. In some cases, the trolls are so OTT that you have to take a stand. Yes, it gets nowhere and continues the cycle, but when a troll is continuously using this website to denigrate others, then a stand MUST be made. Does that make me a feeder? Probably.

FWIW, I have and love the Epson, but the exact same thing happened to me. All of the nozzles cleaned but the blue (cyan). Despite doing several deep cleanings and all of that, still nothing. I even took it in for a service and they couldn't get it to work. So...I now use it for my letter printing and copies. Heck, when submitting copies of passports, bills, etc, for official use, they always want b&w only so...it's irritating but not worth tossing it out (yet). Fortunately, it's not our only printer. I think I'm more forgiving of the beast because I love not having to buy overpriced cartridges.

Rather rich considering... Isn't it amazing what you can find on the internet with just a name or other information? Just sayin'.

This isn't really a food posting, so that's why it's not in La Cocina.
I like to check out the vegetarian/vegan items because it's nice to eat something edible rather than my cooking😁. Anyway, I picked up the usual odds & sods items along with 2 bags of mushrooms in special sauces. Long story short, the codes wouldn't ring up, the young guy who went to look for a price label couldn't find one, and he finally went to ask Pancho. Rather than having me wait, and possibly building up a line, Pancho told him to just give them to me. Result? One previously content customer who will now go out of her way to buy as often as possible from Pancho's. It's a small, relatively unimportant story, but it made my day just a bit brighter.
BTW, the checkout girl was super friendly and apologetic for the delay. Again, just a very nice moment in an average day.

Nicolas for you information CH is not the only fraccionamiento with "issues" (pump/water). Possibly others handle there problem more diplomatically
Other fraccionamiento boards are sensitive when confronted with well "failure" when contr acts were made in good faith, only to go badly wrong.
Most times these projects are funded by a special assessment, and going back to members and say we screwed up and need more money is not how Mexicans think.
FTR, the board didn't say that they "screwed up and need more money" when it comes to the new well. It appears that the first contractor did a dirty and screwed us over. I believe a lawsuit is pending. While I'm not thrilled with this (duh), I am enough of a realist to realize that it could have happened to any of us. God knows we've hired workers for our home who did some of the worst work ever that we had to have another fix. So...no, I'm not happy, but I'm also not judging.

Congrats, Nikolas. You are doing everything you can to destroy the reputation of good people who are trying their damnedest to get things done, despite an annoying know-it-all who feels that the Chapala web board is the place to air EVERY SINGLE GRIEVANCE that he has...which appear to be many. This is not snark; this is a resident who is sick to death of reading your every complaint. Do you have nothing better to do? Do you honestly believe most of the readers of this board give a hoot about your latest complaint? Do you honestly believe most of the residents of CH give a crap about a letter that you're going to send out where you just reiterate your latest beef? Go to the meetings. Give your opinions. Listen to the response. Don't like it? Then either run for a seat (election is upcoming, I believe) or volunteer to do some of the dirtier work that you're such an expert at. God knows there are plenty of things that could be done. Don't like the way things are going? Here's a novel suggestion: MOVE.

The most that I have paid to see a specialist is 13,000 Pesos. I have seen two at Ribera Medical Center located on the Libramiento, a Nephrologist and, a Cardiovascular, both were bilingual.
LOL. I know this will be corrected, but I'd love to see the $13,000mxn specialist!
On a more serious note, don't forget about http://www.doctoralia.com.mx. You can pick your specialist and set the filter for language, etc. It's nice to read the reviews of others. Also, for more choice, check out the list of doctors associated with RMC. While most of the specialists are from Guad, they come here for appointments and can also perform surgery here, too. Some more specialized procedures have to be done in Guad.

It can be very reasonable, but an important suggestion for you: GET THE PRICE UPFRONT IN WRITING. If you're told something and then wait until the procedure is over, you may find yourself in for a --cough, cough -- surprise. Most of the docs/hospitals are quite honest, but some just looooooooove adding a "gringo tax."
-
One suggestion, regardless of where, GET THE PRICE UPFRONT. If you wait until after a procedure is done, well...there is the blatant "gringo tax" by some. Most are quite honest, but...
(sorry, this is a duplicate response due to another of your postings)

I had to look up the procedure and then which doctor would you need to see...a urologist. I'm not making any recommendations, but there are 7 listed under Ribera Medical Center:
https://www.hospitalrmc.com/copia-de-medical-directory 376.765.8200
Just a guess, but you may find that you have consultations locally but still have to go to Guad for the actual procedure.
At any rate, hope this helps!

and this is your hill to die on...smh
BTW, I'm so happy you have your cardio's cell #...that really helped hubby when he was being ignored in their ER and had crap treatment. But, hey, all of those great reviews would have revived him, right? Right?

this web board is a tiny bit of the feren pop. here and even less only an itsy bitsy % actually post here but in case you haven't noticed there are more positive posts about HSAT[not just mine] than negative. Any nudnikki cane foil arune wit lawnwidge effen thay gets prone.
WHAT??? Seriously, I haven't a clue what you're trying to say.
FWIW, this isn't a pissing contest to find a winning hospital; it's just a place where folks post their experiences. The difference is that you don't seem to accept that many folks have had bad experiences there. You've had good ones, terrific; however, I stand by the fact that if I hadn't ignored their indifference to my hubby's condition and gone elsewhere, he would be dead now. I took him to the HSAT ER and he was given nothing more than a drip and placed on a monitor (BP, etc) that kept fritzing out. He had bloodwork but it wasn't interpreted, nor did anyone say "Oh, shit!" when looking at the results that were so red flag that Ray Charles could have interpreted them. That isn't a fake posting or a promotion for RMC (they weren't involved), but a fact. You can continue to use them and power to you. As for me, I wouldn't risk it.

Major apologies for not remembering Victor's name. 🤪 It's no excuse, but I was so upset when it all happened and then so absolutely over the moon with the workmanship when I went to pick it up that you could have told me I'd won the Lotto and I would have smiled and driven off.
-
And how much are YOU paid, happy, to keep defending HSAT when others have had genuinely bad experiences? Unless Zeb is a professional linguist, it's pretty hard to fake two totally separate types of writing styles.
-
Happy, I could get lost in a paper sack, but no, it's very close to Chopo (unfortunately, have had to use the lab more times than I want to count).
-
Glad to hear you had a happy experience. I honestly didn't want one when we first got here because I couldn't see the need. Now, having lived here for 17 years of who-know-how-many power outages, it's been a godsend and has paid for itself many times over.
-
Just because you had a good experience doesn't change that of others. I call BS on your "knowledge" of others' experiences. I DO speak from personal experiences and do not doubt Zeb.
