Sandrita Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I am overdue for a colonoscopy and would appreciate recommendations for a GI doc who comes to Lakeside. I don't want to use one who practices out of Hospital Puerto de Hierro...way too expensive. Muchas gracias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Valenzuela sends you to a clinic in Guad where that is all they do. He does not do it himself. He told me recently it was 7000 pesos. I understand Dr. Leon has a GI doc come from Guad who does it in his office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wouldn't be comfortable having this procedure done locally. Thank you for your response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 There is a place on Lopez Mateo that does colonoscopy and my gastro told me the doctor there that interprets the images us very good.. I will have to look up the name.. Do not do it locally, do it in Guadalajara where there are hospitals near by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syver117 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Quality Care, Dr. Garcia. He comes here on Saturday and does the procedures Saturday mornings in Guadalajara for safety reasons. He specializes in these kind of procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdlngton Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I would suggest Dr. Hectir Valenzuela of Quality Care. I have not had a colonoscopy done in Mexico but have had Dr. Valenzuela do gall bladder surgery as well as consulted with him about other issues and I really liked his treatment manner. What happened to the colonoscopy place in west Ajijic on the corner of the carretera and Rio Bravo? I assume it is no longer in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 The place I am thinking about and I have used is on Lopez Mateo right before it hits Las Americas, on the right handside before you get to the Cristobal Colon Statue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 For safety reasons the procedure should be done where a problem can be taken care of immediately, like an accidental perforated intestine. An equipped medical center or hospital setting. I agree with Dr. Valenzuela. Safety first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any idea of the cost and does he put you out completely? There is no way I could do this under "twilight sleep." Gracias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could have done that under twilight sleep . . . or even totally knocked out. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
