Echocardiogram in Gto for visitor?

[sonrios]

Well, I looked into this, and here’s my report, in case it’s helpful for anyone: I checked at both the Presa clinic, and the clinic at the Plaza de La Paz, and with my rusty Spanish, I THINK that it is possible to get the echo done at both. I had to first see a cardiologist, which makes sense, and in both cases, there was one I could visit. I didn’t think to check if it was the same person at both clinics on different days.

In La Presa, the cardiologist was there only on Mondays and La Paz I believe was Saturday as mentioned by Don. But in both cases, the first available appointments were about a week out, not quick enough for my stay, but actually a lot quicker than I would get in the states. The cost, at La Presa, was 700 pesos for the doctor visit. Did not get far enough in the process to get the cost for the echo.

A few side notes:

At both places, the receptionist checked the schedule by consulting an appointment book, with everything handwritten in. Unexpected and kind of charming when compared to the impersonal nature of everything being “in the computer” in the states.

At one clinic, the receptionist pulled out a book to check the schedule for the cardiologist, when DH noticed “Neurólogo” on the book and said, “I think that’s the neurologist”, and we all (including the receptionist), had a good laugh.
