Questions patients actually ask
How do I get to Mérida?
Mérida is reached by air. Flights via Cancún or direct from selected US cities. Often paired with a longer stay, which suits procedures with a slow recovery.
How do I check a specialist in Mérida is board certified?
Ask which council certified them and for the certificate number, then look it up in the CONACEM public directory. Certification is a legal requirement for specialist practice in Mexico and runs five years, so the expiry date matters as much as the number. Every specialist listed here has both published, with the date the check was run.
Are doctors in Mérida good, and is it safe?
Some are excellent and some aren't, as in any city. The record tells them apart: the specialty board certificate, its number and whether it's still valid. Reviews tell you about the service. They can't tell you whether the surgeon is certified.
How much cheaper is treatment in Mérida than in the US?
It depends on the procedure. The cost page for each priced procedure shows the Mexican and US ranges side by side, with the date the prices were collected. Those ranges aren't specific to Mérida, so ask for a written quote before you travel.
Do I need a passport?
Yes. International flights require a passport for both entry to Mexico and the return home.
