Need a doctor on Isla Mujeres?

Many of those who decide to live or retire on Isla Mujeres don't have medical insurance, they may however still be in need of doctor. Moving to Mexico could be a good time to rethink the number of visits to the doctor and the extraordinary amount of medications most Americans are taking. Which doesn't seem to stop the US being one of the least healthy countries in the western world. Perhaps all those visits to the doctor are not so necessary after all. Of course one has to try to balance that with not ignoring symptoms and warning signs and leaving it too late to seek medical advice.

Of the doctors on Isla Mujeres,  one who is very well know Is Dr Salas  +52 998 845 2370. Dr Salas is a very experienced doctor and we hear very good reports of his work. He has however come in for some criticism for offering the services of his assistant to attend to patients when he is not available, and also to carry out house calls. The problem with this is that patients think they are being treated by a doctor but in fact Dr Salas' assistant is a nurse, not a doctor.

There is also Dr Xhanat tze Mora +52 998 233 1054, who is a general practitioner and a very kind lady. She has her practice in the center of Isla Mujeres. She also does house calls, in an emergency.

Our first choice if requiring a doctor on Isla Mujeres would always be Dr Great Shorey +52 998 402 6874, a very experienced English doctor, who runs her practice almost as a charity; in that her purpose is to treat local people who have little money, at a very low cost. She does also treats visitors and American residents for just 500 pesos ($25 USD) for a consultation, and there is no rush, she gives each patient as long as they need.

In general especially in the States there seems to be far too much reliance on pharmaceuticals, all of which have side effects, in particular the now discredited Covid vaccine. There is a very interesting doctor, Dr Berg who can be found on the internet, he has a natural solution for virtually all ailments, often far less damaging and less expensive than drugs, especially where chronic conditions are concerned. That is not to say that you can throw away your heart pills and start eating a berry instead, there are nevertheless many people taking pharmaceutical drugs unnecessarily.
