Quality of IMSS/Medical Care?

As you probably know, jesm, the Presa clinic has a variety of doctors, including a bunch of specialists. I've seen a few of them over the years and had care that has run the gamut from good through indifferent to bad.

The Presa clinic does have what amounts to an ER. I went there several years ago when I thought I might be having a heart attack and was attended to right away. After they determined I was in no immediate danger, they recommended I see a local (non-Presa) cardiologist.

As to the question of Presa versus IMSS in an emergency, that could be a tough call. I believe the Presa clinic, like the IMSS hospital, is open for emergencies around the clock. However, I doubt Presa would have on hand at all hours the same level of staffing. And since I have IMSS coverage, I would prefer to go to the IMSS hospital at Cantador in an emergency. However, if I thought I needed to get to an ER ASAP, I would probably go to Presa, since it's much closer to where I live.
