Questions patients actually ask
How do I check a oncologist in Mexicali is certified?
Cancer care is certified by the Consejo Mexicano de Oncología. This is the specialty where checking the certificate matters most, because Mexico also hosts clinics offering unproven cancer treatments. Certification runs five years and then must be renewed, so ask for the certificate number and the expiry date, then look both up in the CONACEM public directory.
Is "certified" on a clinic website enough?
No. Clinics and medical plazas across Mexico advertise "certified specialists" without naming a board, a number or a date. Certification is a public record with an expiry, so the word alone is an adjective rather than something you can act on.
How long should I stay in Mexicali?
A second opinion is a short trip. Active treatment is not, and should be planned with your own oncologist involved. Mexicali is a land crossing, so a follow-up visit is a drive rather than another flight, which makes staged treatment far more practical here.
