Is there a local clinic in ZIHUATANEJO that the gringos go to for blood tests etc?

Many of the labs here do routine blood tests without a Doctor's order. Just walk in and ask for the tests. They will draw blood and then have the results in a few hours. English is speak English. I suggest you get a translator APP for your cell phone.

With some exceptions you do not need a Doctor's order for blood work. If you do almost any Doctor or Clinic or Hospital can provide it. Doctor's and Labs are not collocated like NOB. If you do need a consult for minor things like blood work, suggest you go to Dr Grayeb as he speaks excellent English.

For emergencies I take a taxi to Hospial Especialdes or Clinica Maciel.

See ZRob's directory for medical providers.

Go to Plaza Kyota. The South leg of the roundabout goes to La Ropa, the West leg goes downtown/El Centro. The East leg goes to the Mega. Take the North leg and turn right at the second street-he is two buildings down with a large sign. I believe there it a 3 story blue building across the street.

Dr. Grayeb' s office is on the side street gringo Viejo mentioned, the large Mr.Limpio tienda is on the corner where you turn right to get to Grayeb's office which is on the right side of the street and has a sign on the sidewalk,

We go to Laboratorios Ixtapa on Paseo del Palmar, a main street off Plaza Kioto. If a blood or urine test, go early without eating or drinking anything.

Mexicans also go there. No need for an appointment.

We got our blood typed for our drivers licenses directly across the street from the bomberos.

There is another one for half the price within a block of where you turn onto Los Cocos to go to the campesino market. They are all over town. Just walk in tell them what you need and you are taken care of well and inexpensively.

I've had blood work done many times (no dr. prescription needed) at two labs over the years - Fleming (Ciruelos #14 in Centro) and the Similares right next to the Similares farmacia on the corner near central market. I've been to Laboratorios Ixtapa on Paseo del Palmar for mammograms but haven't had blood drawn there. I don't try to speak English, so not sure if anyone does. There are LOTS of labs around.

Is there a local clinic in ZIHUATANEJO that the gringos go to for blood tests etc?

No special place for foreigners. For public health issues or to get blood tests for a drivers license or a marriage license there is a public clinic called "Centro de Salud El Embalse" on the corner of Calle Saturno and Paseo de la Boquita in the Zona Industrial. If you need your blood tested for other reasons you can use one of the private laboratories.
