I am looking for reliable information regarding physicians in Mexico. What I am finding is patient reviews or the physicians' websites. Would appreciate any help with this.

This was a tough one for me. I wasn't really able to find any reliable information online. I spent a lot of time personally contacting doctors and coordinators, then verifying experience and certifications online as much as I could.

Not only do I think the information is not as readily available for doctors in Mexico, there is the language issue (I speak and read a little Spanish but am by no means proficient), and names are often different on official documents vs how they are introduced due to cultural differences in surnames and middle names.

For example, my surgeon was Dr. Illan. He goes by Dr. Illan. On all of his official documentation with hospitals and professional associations and medical schools, his name is Dr. Jalil Illan Fraijo. So when I started doing research for Dr. Illan, it wasn't as readily available as I thought it might be...but when I searched for Dr Illan Fraijo, I was able to find some information.

Thanks KatlnFl for your response. Sounds like what I've been trying to do. I have noticed the difference in the names. Did you check out the hospital?
