The international medical facilities in our Global Surgery
Network are considered some of the most technologically
advanced, including international affiliates of Johns Hopkins,
Mayo Clinic and Harvard. The quality, technology, service and
personalized care received at these hospitals is superior to
most North American hospitals.
Centro Medico
Excel has treated over 6,000 patients for
open heart and interventional cardiology
procedures. It has grown to be one of the
largest medical centers of Northern Mexico,
and provides comprehensive medical treatment
in all specialties.
Centro Medico Excel is known as a referral
center for cardiovascular diseases
throughout Mexico and southern California.
The American Consulate in Tijuana recommends
the Centro Medico Excel for all of their
employees.
A team of
US doctors founded this institution. Their
goal was to provide life saving medical
procedures
which were not readily available to many
Hispanics and Americans, either because of
their experimental nature or because of the
high cost in health care.
Centro Medico Excel’s founding physicians
are both US & Mexico Board Certified
doctors. Their medical specialties include:
Cardiology, Nephrology, Internal Medicine
and Ophthalmology. These physicians do not
own a chain of hospitals. Being of Mexican
heritage, these physicians were aware of
some of the benefits of providing medical
care in Mexico.
These advantages include:
• Lower costs – Everything
costs less in Mexico, from the cost of the
land the hospital sits on, to building
construction, utilities, licenses and fees,
cost of services, supplies equipment and
medicine.
• Access to new procedures –
Mexican Health Authorities tend to allow new
treatments years before they’re approved in
the United States. Mexican regulations
operate under the premise that if a
treatment works, causes no harm, it should
be allowed until there’s evidence of a
problem.
• Freedom of practice – This
refers to the careful delineation of
approved treatments for specific diseases in
the U.S. Trying something different, new or
unusual on a patient in the US could expose
the practicing physician to
license-threatening law suits from medical
organizations. These regulations stifle
innovation, discourage the physician from
trying new treatments and inhibit the
physician from taking into account the
differences between individuals and
customizing treatments.
With all these
factors in mind, Centro Medico Excel was
created. Today, Centro Medico Excel is a
world class, state-of-the-art 19 story
Medical Center located in the Rio Zone of
Tijuana, Baja California, México.
