Some years back I knew some Americans who were going to med school here in Ensenada. They spoke little Spanish but had no problem because all of the
text books were in English. I don't know if that has changed but, finding a doctor who doesn't speak English would be the exception. What type of
doc are you looking for?

What criteria are used in Baja when a gringo labels a physician as a “Good Doctor”? Dr. Luis Perez a charismatic physician that practiced in Chula
Vista in a very plush office lost his license for molesting a patient while she was under sedation. He is now practicing in Tijuana. This individual
graduated from UC Irvine. And was supposedly a “Good Doctor”.
Should one not check the background of a physician and review his accreditations and educational background. Has the individual been attending
refresher courses and does he stay abreast of new
technologies in his field. In Mexico is there an oversight board, are there certifications and tests to be taken to earn the designation of
Cardiologist, Oncologist or Gastroenterologist etc?
In the Punta Banda area “Dr.Joe Capucetti” a chiropractor from Los Angeles attended a medical school in Ensenada . He is no longer “practicing” and
is back in Santa Rosa as a chiropractor not a Medico Cirujano. Does this not raise the question as to his education as a physician with the ability to
take patients into surgery at San Jose Hospital in Chapultepec?
What I see is, if you have a charming “physician” with a decent bedside manner and speaks English,they are a “Good Doctor”. Then there are the
inexpensive Dentist. RESEARCH FOLKS!

I have to say I agree with Bronco here. During our stay in Ensenada we had a very good friend who decided to go to "medical school." He did not have
a college education and simply entered med school. Three years later he's a full-fledged doctor practicing ophthalmology in Chapultepec. Well
intentioned, yes. Well educated, I'm not so sure. Though the US has many flaws in medicine (and I know because I work in it and have for years), the
technology far exceeds anything Mexico has to offer. My husband also was hospitalized briefly in Ensenada (Hospital Velmar). The cardiologist seemed
to have to come up with a diagnosis. Gave us all the data, which I faxed to a cardiologist friend here and he said it was 100% wrong. That was later
confirmed with another internist. It is wise to do your research and then do it again. Your life may be at stake.
