Medical Care in Rocky Point
Often when visiting a foreign country one of the biggest concerns you may have is regarding medical care. Will the medical staff speak English? Is the doctor qualified? How much is this going to cost me? Or, what if I run out of my usual medication while on vacation and need a .presciption for a refill?
We are happy to announce that Sandy Beach Medical Center is open and fully functional. The medical center is located on the main paved road that runs behind the Sandy Beach Resorts. The center is run by Dr. Jesus Gonzalez who is licensed in both the United States and Mexico and is fluent in both English and Spanish. You will not have to worry about being able to communicate as all of his staff speaks English as well. On site there are 2 ambulances and even a sand rail medical vehicle that is able to access emergencies that occur off-road or on the beach. There is a lab on site, a trauma center, and a pharmacy. The basic cost of an office visit is $50, there may be additional lab or treatment fees. Payment is expected at time of visit but if you have insurance in the states they are able to give you what is needed to submit to your insurance provider for reumbursement!! Nice! Also, Dr. Gonzalez is able to write prescriptions for medications you may need while you are here and which can be easily picked up on on site.
There is always someone on staff 24 hours a day at the center. Below is their contact information, this would be a good item to jot down and stick in your wallet, keep on the fridge in the condo or house or even program into your phone. Ease your worries and those of loved ones!
