It was very helpful to have someone come to me to give me IV fluids. I was really feeling bad and it turned my whole day around. Dr. Diego speaks English well and has a great backstory. Very kind and punctual.

I’m so grateful that Dr. Montelongo was able to treat my severely dehydrated boyfriend earlier today. He came right to our Air Bnb in Puerto Escondido, brought supplies to treat him with fluids by IV and left him with a prescription and meds. He spoke perfect English and was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough with his explanations. We were also able to pay by credit card and received an invoice to submit to the insurance company for reimbursement. If this little sign wasn’t in our Air BnB I would have had no idea how to find a doctor. Highly recommend this service for Canadians and all travellers in Mexico. Thank you!

Getting sick on holiday is never fun and I was apprehensive about seeking out a doctor after not having much luck at several pharmacies and I was so relieved to be treated by Dr Diego Montelongo. He was very thorough, took his time, checked everything and prescribed excellent treatment that got me better and allowed me to enjoy the rest of my trip. He spoke fantastic English and explained everything with a lot of detail and followed up with me in the following days to see how I was doing. He really put me at ease and I would recommend him to anybody seeking medical advice in Puerto Escondido.

About Medical Conditions & Treatments
Can a yeast infection cause a uti
While a yeast infection and a UTI are distinct conditions, they can be related. A yeast infection is caused by fungi, whereas a UTI is bacterial. However, the irritation from a yeast infection can make it easier for bacteria to enter the urinary tract, potentially causing a UTI. If you’re experiencing symptoms of both, consult a doctor for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

How long do STD test results take?
Most STD test results in Mexico are available within 24-48 hours. Rapid HIV tests can provide results in 15-30 minutes, while blood tests for syphilis and herpes typically take 1-2 days. Urine tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea usually take 24-48 hours. Some advanced testing may take 3-5 days, but our clinics prioritize quick turnaround times for travelers.
Related to: STD testing
How much does a blood test cost?
Blood test costs in Mexico are significantly more affordable than in the US, typically ranging from $30-150 USD depending on the type and complexity of tests. Basic blood panels like CBC (Complete Blood Count) cost around $30-50, while comprehensive metabolic panels range from $50-80. Specialized tests may cost $80-150. This represents savings of 60-80% compared to US prices, making Mexico an excellent destination for routine blood work and health screenings.

How to get rid of baby acne?
Baby acne typically appears within the first few weeks of life and usually resolves on its own without treatment. Gently cleanse your baby's face with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser once daily. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh products. Pat the skin dry and avoid applying lotions or oils unless recommended by your pediatrician. Most baby acne clears up within 3-4 months. If the acne is severe, persistent, or you're concerned, consult with our English-speaking pediatric dermatologists in Mexico for professional evaluation and treatment recommendations.

How to avoid food poisoning in Mexico?
To avoid food poisoning in Mexico, follow these essential guidelines: drink only bottled or properly purified water, avoid tap water and ice cubes, eat at busy restaurants with high turnover, choose hot, freshly cooked foods, avoid raw or undercooked meats and seafood, wash hands frequently with soap, avoid street vendor food unless it's cooked fresh and hot, peel fruits yourself, and avoid raw vegetables and salads. Our doctors can provide additional personalized prevention strategies based on your travel itinerary.

How long after stopping birth control can you get pregnant?
Fertility typically returns quickly after stopping most forms of birth control. With pills, patches, and rings, ovulation usually resumes within 1-3 months. For injections like Depo-Provera, it may take 6-18 months for fertility to return. Some women conceive immediately after stopping birth control, so use alternative contraception if pregnancy isn't desired.

Can acid reflux cause headaches?
Yes, acid reflux can cause headaches through several mechanisms. GERD can trigger tension headaches due to stress and anxiety from chronic symptoms, disrupt sleep patterns leading to headache-inducing fatigue, and certain acid reflux medications may cause headaches as side effects. Additionally, the pain and discomfort from severe heartburn can contribute to stress-related headaches.
