Are there English-speaking doctors in Mexico?

Yes, there are English-speaking doctors in Mexico.  It’s not that difficult to find an English speaking doctor of any variety that you would really need. And then, if you really need one who turns out not to speak English it’s very easy and quite inexpensive to hire a translator.

My friend currently is in a big fancy hospital here, because Mexico wants to be a leader in medical tourism. While they have English speaking staff and some English-speaking doctors, none of the nurses and other staff speak English, so sometimes that can be an issue. I would say, overall, we have pretty good healthcare here.

There are lots of English-speaking doctors in Mexico. English is something that’s mostly required, especially in Ajijic and the general Lake Chapala area, because it’s a big community that speaks English, and it’s very important to be able to offer services in the language of your customers.

For example, personally, in my business, I offer my customers a service where I accompany them if they have to go to a doctor who does not speak English in order to help them with translation, at no extra charge. Its just part of the services that I offer. This happens about once every three months.
