What we've done for our clients

I was blown away by the level of service and speed to which the tests were performed and the results were supplied in exceptional time. A far cry from the Canadian System. Megan and Jose were very professional with the next steps and suggestions offering both a medical and holistic approach to my future care. Overall I was extremely pleased with the process.

Tanis, Canada, 47

I have been extremely pleased with the medical experiences. I have received in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas, Mexico. First, I had a recurring back problem, which was corrected in Mexico with a medical regimen and a lifelong exercise plan, thereby avoiding back surgery. Second, I required catheter placement on an irregular basis in Canada to correct bladder retention problems. The source of the problem was found and corrected in Mexico. Third, I learned that I had a double inguinal hernia. In Canada there is a 2 year wait, so I decided to take a trip to the Mexican hospital where they corrected it in one week.

David, Canada, 82

The care I received when having a mammogram and cyst aspiration at San Lucas Hospital was of the highest standard, from the welcome and attention I received at reception, to the gentleness with which the doctor carried out the procedures, I felt in very safe hands.

Susan, New Zealand, 40

Here, you can wake to birdsong echoing through emerald canyons, then unwind in mineral‑rich hot springs beneath a blanket of stars.
