Neurologists in La Paz - Cabo area?


A dear family member is in need of a Neurologist. Can anyone recommend a Neurologist in the La Paz - Cabo area? My family member is currently in La Paz.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Respectfully suggest they fly to the USA.

Unfortunately, that is out of the question. So, I need some local ideas.

Cabo Magic - Thank you for your wishes! As my family member is currently in La Paz, I am very happy to hear La Paz is better than Cabo.

La Paz Military Hospital


is a fine medical center, imo, with fair prices.

Located on Avenida Forjadores near the Soriana complex, same side of the road.

You might try contacting my friend Dr. Alejandro Aguirre Chavez. He is a PM & R - Physical Medicine and Rehab Doc himself - but he works with other specialties and should be able to hook you up with a qualified Neuro.

Excellent suggestion from boe4fun, a fella dedicated to helping the folks of Baja himself.

The "best" specialists seem to be employee doctors of IMSS that circulate around the "perifiericos" and treat long lists of patients referred to them for "estudias". Catching one of the specialists is the trick. If you run into an obstacle I would certainly recommend going to your IMSS facility, and ask them for a reference for one of their doctors practicing on the side. That doctor will undoubtedly have the inside track on who's who in the MD area of your needs.

IMHO There are as many untalented doctors in Mexico are there are in the USA.

I thank you all for the time you have taken to post your responses. Through Baja Nomad, we were able to find an amazing neurologist, who did everything he could.

While I no longer am seeking a neurologist, I hope these responses all help the next person who is looking for a neurologist for their loved one.
