Kyle Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Had to go to the emergency room on Sunday. They had no staff to run the equipment for the necessary tests and only one doctor who had to call another doctor because she didn't know what to do about a very simple case. The doctor said " you shouldn't come on Sunday's because we have very little staff. So...we will try to not get injured on a Sunday! just a heads up if you need a doctor on Sunday's the Ajijic clinic may be a better choices 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can not beat the prices, it is a little gem of a hospital and if only it was better managed would be a gold mine...one or two specialist there that need to be avoided like the plague.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Yes, SA . I will choose the Ajijic Clinic next time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I won't go into details, but yesterday we withdrew ourselves from SAH. LOTS of valid reasons, but we're thrilled to return to Ajijic Clinic. Dr. Rodriguez is a gem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Bottom line is the best hospital care is still in GDL. When you look at it impartially, though, the care available here is far higher than usually found in such small population centers located adjacent to a major city. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 The new hospital on the Libramiento looks close to open. I hope it will conform more to what is considered a hospital then the San Antonio Hospital/Maskaras Clinic. I worked for over 30 years in a hospital. That pension allows me to live here. OK, let me have it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 My family has had three emergencies treated at the Ajijic Clinic/Hospital and was very pleased with two of the outcomes. The third was a dislocated shoulder where a specialist was brought in from Guadalajara who greately overcharged for his services...but at least he did the job. I think I'd choose it again rather than the hospital in S.A. after hearing the reports from posters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes about that long to rile up the "gang". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 We have had nothing but good experiences at SAT hospital. Please don't even compare it to the former Maskaras clinic nor Ajijic clinic. Big difference between a REAL hospital and mere clinics. Judging from most of the posts on here, it has been made quite clear that SAT is good at what they do for a small hospital. and I for one am glad they are here. Good luck clinic users! pedro kertesz 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#HarryB Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 had surgery today at SAT, all good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorn Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 We've had to visit the SAT hospital for emergencies twice in the past year. One was minor; the other involved surgery and a multiple day hospitalization. Each time, the care and service was excellent and the facilities were very clean. The overall costs were a bit higher than other options in the area and Guadalajara. I don't know that it would be my first choice for an elective or scheduled procedure, but I'm glad to have it around as an option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Also surgery at SAT hospitals by specialists coming here. Quality Care one. Excellent care and covid free hospital and all sanitation protocols followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogirl Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 We went to the San Antonio Hospital one night and we were well taken care of. We have also been to the Ajijic Clinic and were well taken care of there too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
