Questions patients actually ask

How do I check a specialist is really board certified in Mexico?

Eye surgery is certified by the Consejo Mexicano de Oftalmología. Certification is a legal requirement under the General Health Law, articles 81 and 272 Bis, it runs five years, and the directory is public. Ask for the certificate number and the expiry date, then look both up.

Does it matter which city I go to?

For the credential, no: certification is national, so the same board certifies the same specialty everywhere in Mexico. For the trip, yes. A border city means a follow-up is a drive; a fly-in city means another flight. That difference usually matters more than the price.

How long should I plan to stay?

Both procedures need a next-day check, so plan at least one night rather than crossing straight back.
