Is that Villarino's in Punta Banda?

RenoJoe - 4-22-2013 at 09:47 PM

Yes it is in Punta Banda. I would also like to know if Wi Fy is available. Thanks.

Welcome Amigo. For a better response, tell us what kinda trip your planning. Any Baja experience? Interests? For Medical needs you will find more services near the big cities like Ensenada. Buen Viaje. Tio

RenoJoe - 4-23-2013 at 02:14 PM

Would like a Doctor visit in ensenada. look at property near San Quintin , Bahia Asuncion

RenoJoe - 4-23-2013 at 02:17 PM

Send Shari a U2U regarding her sunset room at her place just down the street from Campo Serena.

MY place is fabulous, but I only rent by the month.

RenoJoe - 4-23-2013 at 03:36 PM

I don't know how to U2U. I need help on that one. Thanks for your reply.

Sorry....I took off.
Anyway......there is Wi-Fi close to Villarinos, from the fire station across the street. It's not the strongest signal, but it's there. You can get online while having coffee across the street at Paty's.
You won't have to worry about crowds. It's been pretty dead lately.

What type of Doc are you looking for in Ensenada?

Joe....there are many GPs in Ensenada. Even one in Maneadero, closer to Villarino's, who has a pretty good reputation.
Thing is, it sounds as though you need a handful of specialists and that's probably where a GP will send you.

Dennis, not nice to tell someone looking for a doctor "that its been pretty dead lately".

EnsenadaDr - 4-24-2013 at 08:49 AM

If your emphysema and Crohn's disease are not under control, then I suggest you postpone your trip. Are you taking prednisone for the conditions? What type of treatment are you receiving currently in Reno? And if you need oxygen tanks, they willl be hard to find in the isolated areas.

oooops...........Well....when someone wants a mortician, I'll be ready.

tiotomasbcs - 4-24-2013 at 01:01 PM

How well experienced are you in Baja travels? Number one rule is to rent for awhile in a few areas before you buy! Leasing/renting avoids lots of legal business when buying; Notarios, Fideicomisos, accountants, realators. Know what I mean? :o Suerte. Tio

RenoJoe - 4-25-2013 at 09:02 AM

I feel more alive south of the border.

RenoJoe - 4-25-2013 at 09:12 AM

Dear Ensenada Doc, Thank you for the comeback. My breathing is much better here at sea level than in Reno. My Crohns seems pretty well controlled with Asacol - mesalamin e. One of the reasons for my fractured humerus and my shoulder problems is alot of prednisone over past 4 years. I have been off of it since October 2012. My bones are brittle from years of that steroid. We are in PuntaBanda today. I suppose all specialists are in Ensenada or Tijauna. I hear there is a good GP in Mandeanaro nearby here. Thank you again for you help. We may come to Ensenada. Last night we got pretty lost. Where is your office and what are your hours? Again bless you for comeback. Bobl, a friend of RenoJoe.

Debbie - 4-25-2013 at 09:16 AM

Have a great time in Baja <3 I agree with you about feeling more alive south of the border <3 I love Baja! I have been reading this forum for quit a while and there is always great information here.
Take care

RenoJoe - 4-25-2013 at 09:57 AM

Yes Dennis I will call you, if I need a mortician while I am here. I suppose the choir and candles will be extra. Thanks. Bobl, a friend of RenoJoe.

EnsenadaDr - 4-25-2013 at 01:03 PM

I should have my medical license in hand next week. In the meantime, you can contact me for any referrals. Sounds like you know your condition well and have it fairly well under control. Yes, it is good you are aware that Prednisone can cause very bad bone degeneration. Meloxicam is a very good pain med and causes less side effects than other NSAIDS. It is available over the counter at most drug stores in Ensenada.

OK Joe......I'll have to get the details tomorrow.
Stay tuned................

DENNIS - 4-26-2013 at 07:59 PM

Joe....These are directions to his clinic in Maneadero. They are north to south, starting at the "Y"....at Calimax....where the road to La Joya meets Highway One.
===============================

Dr. Esquer (also known as Dr. Raymundo - his first name) has his hospital in upper Maneadero.


After you turn right at the Y, go up beyond the gas station on your right and there will be a stop sign with the big green 'Meat Market' on your right. Just ahead, on your left, is a two story green building that says Dr. Esquer's hospital - I think it might say emergency also. There is always someone there and they will contact the doctor immediately to come in if needed. The hospital's number is 646-154-0018.

Flexible.
The entertainment is worth the price of admission. Good Doc, but different. :lol:

EnsenadaDr - 4-26-2013 at 09:09 PM

I went in to talk to him about a medical issue, and he told me he had just gotten married. He seemed so much more serious and wasn't his normal jovial, joking self!!!

RenoJoe - 5-2-2013 at 08:11 AM

This trip has been a balm and a miracle with my health. Two days ago when joe and i were at santispac, i ran on the beach. my breathing is better and my neuropathy has calmed down so that i can walk, move my toes, rotate my shoulders. Absolutely incredible. This morning back her in Bahia Asuncion my hands hurt when I woke up, but now two hours later i can flex and move fingers and wrist without pain. Is it odd or is it God? i dont even claim to have an inkling of an idea. Thank you all for your help and responses and moral support.
