Patient Experience & Reviews
Patient Testimonial: One patient review states: "Amazing hospital in Cancun. We were a little apprehensive at first going to a Mexican hospital. Great care and attention was given to my 5 year old who cut his eyebrow open in our hotel room. The ER doctor took a look and went through all the usual stuff to check for a head injury first. Then he called a plastic surgeon to stitch my son up! Wow can't even get that kind of care in the states! And remember this was 1am."
