Specialists
We are pleased to introduce the physicians in Chapala Med’s network. Each specialist has been vetted by Dr. Hernández and meets the highest ethical standards of best practices in medicine in Mexico and abroad. Specialists may see patients by special appointment at our offices in Ajijic but due to their high level of demand in Guadalajara, Dr. Hernández often refers patients to their own offices in Guadalajara. These are the doctors who support Dr. Hernández when he hospitalizes his patients.
