recommended cataract surgeons in Baja ?


can anyone recommend a good cataract surgeon in either la paz or ensenada? Les needs surgery and we are looking into options here rather than running to US. Thanks.

Dr. Corral in Ensenada.

Several people I know have used him and have been very happy.

I'd only do one eye at a time, you can always wear a patch, and look like a pirate, getting cataract surgury is not like getting a filling.

X 2 on dr. lechuga

have talked to several people that have used his services.

there are two dr. lechugas, father and son that practice together. you want to use the services of the son. highly educated and has the latest equipment.

in california, they will only do one eye at a time for cataracts as if something goes wrong, you'll still have vision in the other eye.

BIEN SALUD, DA RAT
