Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do you offer online consultations?

Yes. Online consultations are available for patients who prefer an initial evaluation before traveling to Mexico or who require follow-up care. This option is ideal for international patients seeking expert guidance from abroad.

How can I schedule an appointment?

You can easily schedule your appointment by sending a WhatsApp message. Our team will assist you in English and help you book either an online or in-person consultation.

What should I do if I already have a diagnosis?

If you already have a diagnosis, you may send your medical reports, imaging studies (MRI, CT scans, X-rays), or previous evaluations in advance. Dr. Carrillo can review your case, provide a second opinion, and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.

Do you treat international patients?

Yes. Dr. Carrillo regularly treats international patients and offers a streamlined process for medical tourism, including online consultations, clear treatment planning, and care at a leading private hospital in Mexico City.

What Are the Prices for Surgery?

Surgery costs vary depending on the condition, procedure type, and complexity of each case. For this reason, there is no fixed price without a medical evaluation. However, neurosurgical procedures in Mexico are significantly more affordable than in the United States, while maintaining high medical standards and advanced hospital facilities.

How long would I need to stay in Mexico for treatment or surgery?

The length of stay depends on the type of procedure and your individual recovery plan. In many cases, minimally invasive procedures allow shorter hospital stays and faster recovery, reducing the time you need to remain in Mexico. During your consultation, Dr. Carrillo will explain the expected recovery timeline so you can plan your travel with confidence.
