You deserve to know exactly
who is doing this procedure.
These are the facts. No vague "internationally trained" language. No borrowed equivalencies. The training is rigorous, the credentials are verifiable, and nothing here is embellished.
I'm a native English speaker who trained in Mexico and did an international observership in New Zealand. I chose Ensenada because it sits 90 minutes from one of the largest concentrations of underserved IR patients in North America — people who are waiting too long and paying too much for procedures I can do this week. I practice the same clinical standards as any IR specialist. The difference is access. And that's exactly what I'm here to fix.
Yes. All pathology samples are processed by board-certified pathologists practicing in Mexico. Reports are written in English and include the procedure note. We send it directly to your referring physician. If your doctor wants to speak with me directly, that's available.
Honest answer: My training is Mexican-accredited, not ACGME — I won't pretend otherwise. What I can tell you is this: the procedures are identical, the imaging is identical, the clinical standards are identical, and my training path is fully transparent and verifiable. The Auckland observership added international case exposure. The training is different. The procedures are identical. The honesty is non-negotiable.
All procedures are performed at accredited hospital facilities in Ensenada with full emergency infrastructure and hospital admission pathways. I maintain close consultation with my mentor, Dr. Carlos Felix-Saguchi (Mexicali), on complex cases. We don't do procedures we're not equipped to handle.
From central San Diego, yes — under normal border conditions. SENTRI lane is recommended for regular patients. We include detailed directions, border crossing guidance, and parking instructions in every patient coordination document.
