HealthCare Resources Puerto Vallarta Clinics for October 2013 Pam Thompson - HealthCareResourcesPV
October 7, 2013

The summer season is coming to an end and we look forward to our “snowbirds” returning for the season. We are looking forward to a “super season” with many new speakers programs and clinics being added in the upcoming months.

All of our clinics are screening clinics. To make an appointment, please send an email with your request. Note that the clinics fill VERY quickly, so it’s best to make your appointment as soon as possible. I will send all of the details, directions, time, etc.

Skin Clinic - October 10 & October 24, 2013

Have your body checked from the top of your head/scalp to the bottoms of your feet. This is performed by an oncologist (not a dermatologist.) This is most definitely one of our most popular clinics! Price: 300 pesos (PLUS members pay 250 pesos)

Vascular Clinic - October 15, 2013

Includes an evaluation by a vascular specialist, checking the blood flow in your body and especially in your legs. Pulses in your legs and carotid arteries evaluated. Price: 400 pesos (PLUS members pay 350 pesos)

Mammogram Clinic - October 17, 2013

This is one of the most important appointments ladies can make! Our Mammogram Clinic is very popular in that we have a breast specialist/radiologist and as well, the clinic includes a manual exam along with a complete explanation of your mammogram. Price includes ultrasound as well, if deemed necessary. Price: 920 pesos (PLUS Members pay 820)

Ear Clinic - October 21, 2013

The amount of “gunk” that builds up in our ears, especially here with the humidity is embarrassing! Have your ears checked completely by our star ENT physician, using his state-of-the-art equipment. Cleaning performed if necessary. Important: This is NOT a hearing test. Our audiologist who comes monthly from the United States will not be returning until September. Price: 375 pesos (PLUS members pay 325)

Foot Clinic - October 22, 2013

Our feet take a beating, especially here in the area! Between the humidity and the cobblestone streets – yowza! Ouch! Your feet, toes, balance and pulses will be reviewed by our podiatrist. As well, be sure and check out Christina. She is the star that performs the “medical pedicures” at this office. (Not included in the price of the clinic.) Price: 300 pesos (PLUS members pay 250 pesos)

Cardiology Clinic - October 28, 2013

What is a PLUS membership? You can find that information here. New benefits are currently being added and the chart will be updated soon.

Insurance! Don’t leave home without it! We do not sell insurance BUT we do work with several professional representatives who offer various policies, both short term (travelers insurance) and long term policies. For further details, please send us an email. And speaking of insurance, who isn’t confused about Obamacare? And especially how it affects US Citizens living in Mexico? We asked an insurance expert in the US to write and article on this and I am more than happy to forward it to you. It’s just too long to include here.

We invite you to contact us for any of your healthcare needs. Remember that there is never a charge for these services and we work on a “contractual” basis with physicians/hospitals (meaning it’s not on a commission basis). Let’s set a time to meet and have a chat to go over a healthcare plan for you here in the area to include everything from establishing with a personal physician to a hospital tour. Do not wait until you are in an emergency situation to take care of this!

Here’s to an awesome October!
