All my questions were answered clearly and completely.
April 23, 2026
Excellent, very good attention. I will continue attending appointments.
April 18, 2026
I absolutely do not recommend making an appointment with this doctor. Her attitude is cold, unempathetic, and she has no real interest in listening. I went with the relevant tests to get a clear diagnosis, but she still ordered more tests without giving any concrete answers. Everything I mentioned was questioned, and none of my symptoms were really addressed or explained. I left feeling the same or worse: uncertain and confused, after paying for an expensive consultation.
April 14, 2026
Dr. Abril was very clear and explained everything about my condition to me, resolved my doubts, and was very attentive and professional the entire time.
April 6, 2026
She is an excellent doctor, her diagnosis and treatment were very accurate, and her explanation was very detailed; she explained everything very well.
March 30, 2026
Excellent consultation experience, highly recommended

Unfortunately, I didn't get an appointment with the doctor, but I'm leaving this comment hoping it will help improve their service via WhatsApp (since that's how I contacted them). The person who replied said they were her assistant, Lupita. I understand that they might be busy and miss a few messages, but I've also worked as an assistant, and if I want to provide good service, I constantly check social media and make sure all messages are answered. Yesterday I sent a message asking about the consultation fee and if I needed to bring any tests beforehand. Initially, without even a greeting, they replied that I didn't need any tests. Then they corrected the message and gave me the consultation hours, even though I had asked about the cost. I then asked again if I needed to pay a deposit to schedule my appointment (since that's been the case with other doctors), and they just ignored me. I thought they would get back to me later, but it's been almost two days and I haven't heard back. I really hope they can improve this because I was interested in making an appointment since I see the doctor has very good reviews.

The doctor was attentive, explained the situation in detail, the possible origins; she listened, subsequently performed a check-up and finally gave me a comprehensive explanation of what was happening. She takes the time to review each doubt and to clarify questions. Very satisfied with her consultation!

About Medical Conditions & Treatments
How much does a blood test cost?
Blood test costs in Mexico are significantly more affordable than in the US, typically ranging from $30-150 USD depending on the type and complexity of tests. Basic blood panels like CBC (Complete Blood Count) cost around $30-50, while comprehensive metabolic panels range from $50-80. Specialized tests may cost $80-150. This represents savings of 60-80% compared to US prices, making Mexico an excellent destination for routine blood work and health screenings.
What signals the end of menopause?
Menopause is officially complete when you've gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Post-menopause begins after this point and continues for the rest of your life. Symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats typically decrease in frequency and intensity during the first few years after menopause. However, some effects like vaginal dryness and bone density changes may persist and require ongoing management.
