What is it for? It seeks to detect and control conditions that could complicate the operation, optimizing patient safety.

What does it include? It usually includes a history, examination, and review or ordering of laboratory and imaging studies.

Who performs it? It is usually handled by an internist and, depending on the case, a cardiologist for the heart or a geriatrician for older adults. It's advisable to schedule it ahead of time and resolve your questions with the specialist before the surgery.

Before you book

Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.

El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
