As much as I think he's a good doctor, let me say this. I went to him yesterday for my annual skin cancer check up. My husband came with me. He had a small spot on his nose and wondered if it was anything worth making an appointment for. Well, little did we know, that by asking the question, the appointment had already been made and it was right then and there. The doctor took one minute to look at it, said it was nothing important, and then charged us double. He used to charge 500 pesos per visit; now it is 600 pesos. For us, it was 1200 pesos. Just a heads up...

With all due respect, if you think he was wrong to charge you what he did then I believe the time and place to comment was then and there to him personally. He has always treated my family and me righteously and charged us fairly, and we have no problems paying what he asks even though we don't have thousands of dollars to spend on vacations. Just my

I'm old enough to have had more than one doctor screw up. Fortunately, most, but not all, screw-ups were minor. I guess that's why they call it PRACTICING medicine.

Correct and if he does not know the answer for your problem he is more than willing to find the answer for you or a special Doctor that he can refer you too. Would not go to anyone else for a medical problem when I am in Zihua.

Really? With all due respect to my dear friend Dr. Grayeb, he is not a specialist in dermatology and he screwed up fairly well in diagnosing a problem I had. Fortunately I recalled reading recommendations here on my Message Board about the dermatologist Dr. Alarcón who has been treating me ever since. He is a specialist who is in high demand from here to Chilpancingo. Please let's keep it real, folks.

Thanks to Obamacare, we now have medical care in the US. We went to a dermatologist in October. He said EXACTLY what Dr. Alorgon did, and wanted to handle treatment in the same way. Only hitch was that the cost of the drug here seemed high, in the US it was 10 times higher. Yes, ten.

Our neighbors each went to him for removal of squamous cell skin cancer,and his cost was very low, and the quality of his stitches, impressive. One removal was on the face,under the eye,and there is no trace of a scar.

I have an appt with him. Does he speak any English?

Yes and he is very efficient...and gentle

As a side note to your post....
Dr. Hugo Alarcón, and Dr. Martínez Becerríl are the only derms I know of in Z.
Of the two, I prefer Dr. Alarcón.
Although, Dr. Mtez. did do a good job on a very fragile skin cancer removal, and skin repair, on the exterior corner of my left eye.
He also sewed me up after I suffered a freak accident, in which I got hit on the chin with a breeze fan blade.

My main side note though, is about an excellent dermatologist who works out of Star Hospital in Morélia.
She is VERY THOROUGH, and takes time for all your inquiries.
Excellent in the cosmetic area of dermatology, she is not one who likes to do surgeries, at least from my experience.
Her name is Doctóra Adriana Patricia López Bárcenas
Here is a link about her:
