While deciding on a hospital, costs should not be the only criteria. There are certain factors the patient needs to take into account beside costs. Here are some of them:

Decide on which would be better for your needs: a hospital or a clinic (surgery center)? Doctors would advise going for a fully integrated hospital. The reason being, in rare cases of unexpected surgical emergency or a medical complication, a hospital happens to be a definitely a better option than a clinic. It is also important that the patients select a hospital with ICU, MRI, Pharmacy, Cafeteria, X-Ray, and doctor offices at the same premises. Another thing to consider is the geographic location.

Also crucial is the past record & reputation of the hospital. The hospital staff should know English. Most of the times, a patient will have a guest to come along to Mexico and the guest would need a place to stay while in Mexico. Our hospital CMC provides boarding arrangements. Checking out this information beforehand is recommended.

Not to mention the credentials & experience of the surgeon and doctors are vital points to consider. Things to look for here are successful surgeries or treatments the doctors have carried out in the past. More the surgeries better the doctor. A surgeon with 900 surgeries is a much better choice than a surgeon who has done only 200. Do check if the surgeons are certified by the medical board. Do they speak good English? 

Look for surgeons certified.
