I’m so grateful that Dr. Montelongo was able to treat my severely dehydrated boyfriend earlier today. He came right to our Air Bnb in Puerto Escondido, brought supplies to treat him with fluids by IV and left him with a prescription and meds. He spoke perfect English and was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough with his explanations. We were also able to pay by credit card and received an invoice to submit to the insurance company for reimbursement. If this little sign wasn’t in our Air BnB I would have had no idea how to find a doctor. Highly recommend this service for Canadians and all travellers in Mexico. Thank you!

Getting sick on holiday is never fun and I was apprehensive about seeking out a doctor after not having much luck at several pharmacies and I was so relieved to be treated by Dr Diego Montelongo. He was very thorough, took his time, checked everything and prescribed excellent treatment that got me better and allowed me to enjoy the rest of my trip. He spoke fantastic English and explained everything with a lot of detail and followed up with me in the following days to see how I was doing. He really put me at ease and I would recommend him to anybody seeking medical advice in Puerto Escondido.

I highly recommend Dr. Diego to anyone needing medical care in Puerto Escondido. After a fall involving a potential knee ligament injury, my Airbnb host recommended him, and I couldn't be more grateful. Even before our physical consultation, Dr. Diego went above and beyond via WhatsApp, coordinating my hospital ultrasound and directing me to local supplies for crutches and a brace. His expertise was evident during the exam; he explained my injury thoroughly in perfect English, translating the ultrasound results and physical findings with great care. Furthermore, he provided a detailed medical report for my insurance and a letter for my airline, which secured me vital assistance and extra legroom for my flight home. He is a true professional and 100% the person to see if you need medical help while traveling.

I’ve had a few sessions of PRP with microneedling for my face and my scalp, and I noticed a difference even after the first session. My skin texture has improved, and my skin feels firmer and more radiant overall. My hair had been feeling thin the past few years, and I’ve already seen improvement after a few sessions. Dr. Diego is very thorough, it was a great experience and I’m really happy with the results.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Alejandro Montelongo! As a backpacker, I had been dealing with a near-chronic urinary tract infection for a year, and after seeing several doctors and hospitals, I was so glad I found him. Dr. Montelongo immediately gave me a thorough exam, explained everything clearly, and helped me understand what happens in the body during an infection and how the bladder and kidneys work together. He performed a urine culture and finally prescribed the right treatment, which truly made all the difference! Even after I had to leave town, he stayed in touch to make sure I made a full recovery. He is incredibly kind, calm, thoughtful, and genuinely dedicated. He speaks fluent English, takes the time to explain everything, and is very patient. I am extremely grateful for his care and would recommend him to anyone needing medical help in Puerto Escondido. Thank you so, so much! 🌟

Excellent care from Dr. Diego Montelongo. I'm an athlete, and he treated my peroneus longus and brevis tendonitis, as well as extensor digitorum longus tendonitis, with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). A modern approach, well explained, and with amazing rehabilitation results. Highly recommended.

Dr. Diego is a great person to visit in Puerto Escondido. He helped me from minor health concerns: blood tests, Vb12 injections, etc. to more serious concerns with my spine after a surfing injury. His explanations and sessions are not rushed at all, and are described knowledgeably. Aside from this, he is extremely easy to talk to and build rapport with. Highly recommend, and very grateful!

He's an excellent doctor. A few months ago, I got a second-degree burn from a motorcycle exhaust. He was attentive throughout my recovery. Now that I'm healed, I'm having my first session of platelet-rich plasma, and WOW, how much the scar is improving. 100% recommended.

About Medical Conditions & Treatments
Can a yeast infection cause a uti
While a yeast infection and a UTI are distinct conditions, they can be related. A yeast infection is caused by fungi, whereas a UTI is bacterial. However, the irritation from a yeast infection can make it easier for bacteria to enter the urinary tract, potentially causing a UTI. If you’re experiencing symptoms of both, consult a doctor for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
How long do STD test results take?
Most STD test results in Mexico are available within 24-48 hours. Rapid HIV tests can provide results in 15-30 minutes, while blood tests for syphilis and herpes typically take 1-2 days. Urine tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea usually take 24-48 hours. Some advanced testing may take 3-5 days, but our clinics prioritize quick turnaround times for travelers.
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 is included in an annual physical exam checklist for female patients?
Our annual physical exam checklist for female patients includes comprehensive health screening with vital signs, blood pressure, weight and BMI assessment, breast examination, pelvic exam, Pap smear (when due), complete blood work panel, cholesterol screening, diabetes testing, thyroid function tests, and age-appropriate screenings like mammograms for women over 40. We also discuss reproductive health, contraception options, and provide personalized health recommendations based on your age and risk factors.
Can stress cause acne?
Yes, stress can significantly worsen acne through multiple pathways. Stress increases cortisol production, which can stimulate oil glands and increase inflammation. Stress also weakens the immune system, making it harder for skin to fight acne-causing bacteria. Additionally, stress often leads to poor sleep, unhealthy eating habits, and increased touching of the face. Managing stress through exercise, adequate sleep, relaxation techniques, and proper skincare can help improve acne.
How to avoid food poisoning in Mexico?
To avoid food poisoning in Mexico, follow these essential guidelines: drink only bottled or properly purified water, avoid tap water and ice cubes, eat at busy restaurants with high turnover, choose hot, freshly cooked foods, avoid raw or undercooked meats and seafood, wash hands frequently with soap, avoid street vendor food unless it's cooked fresh and hot, peel fruits yourself, and avoid raw vegetables and salads. Our doctors can provide additional personalized prevention strategies based on your travel itinerary.
How long after stopping birth control can you get pregnant?
Fertility typically returns quickly after stopping most forms of birth control. With pills, patches, and rings, ovulation usually resumes within 1-3 months. For injections like Depo-Provera, it may take 6-18 months for fertility to return. Some women conceive immediately after stopping birth control, so use alternative contraception if pregnancy isn't desired.
Can acid reflux cause headaches?
Yes, acid reflux can cause headaches through several mechanisms. GERD can trigger tension headaches due to stress and anxiety from chronic symptoms, disrupt sleep patterns leading to headache-inducing fatigue, and certain acid reflux medications may cause headaches as side effects. Additionally, the pain and discomfort from severe heartburn can contribute to stress-related headaches.
