Go down Juarez till you get to the traffic circle, hang a right and about a block down the street on your right, is laboratory Nunez. It's the only one in Loreto and they have pretty up to date equipment.

Also, if you give Dr. Green a call at the Salvatierra clinic, he can probably direct you.

There's also a lab in Santa Rosalia near the Telemex office. I'm sure that they can do it.

Laboratorio Nunez is located on Calle Tamaral ( there actually is a street sign), across the street from the new Police station.
The phone number is 13-1350191.

They are very efficent and fast, not much english spoken though.

Good Luck

pro-time test

When you go to the clinic, be sure to ask for a pro-time test (rather than pro-tem). If they don't know what it is, tell them you need an INR.:yes:
