Scotty in Mulege needs cataract surgery. Anybody have any suggestions for a doctor in Baja....possibly in La Paz?

Hola mulegejim,

i have heard from several people over the years of using DR. LECHUGA in la paz. there are two, father and son. the son has kept up with the latest procedures and has the latest equipment in his office.

one person i spoke to in los barriles told me he had a detached retina that couldn't be resolved in the U.S. but was by DR. LECHUGA.

I tried to find his info but couldn't.

i'm sure someone will chime in and provide it.

regarding cataract surgery, for me and for my father, it was a snap. a very quick and painless procedure and extremely common these days.

BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

Did you have your surgery done by Dr. Lechuga?

jim,
I just sent a note to a friend in Mulege that had cataract surgery not too long ago in LaPaz and did very well with it...
I think she will stop by and talk to Scotty... knows him very well...

I also think she is coming up the same on the other eye soon...

I don't know the docs name but I know she can help...
I can send you a u2u with her name if you like...

That's great. If she is going to talk with Scotty no need for u2u. Thanks much!

Hola,

no, i didn't have mine done by dr. lechuga as i had both done a few years previous but if i didn't have mine done, i would have him do both.

i don't blame you for wanting testimonials of surgeries done by him.
