Will I need to travel to see a specialist?

"Patzcuaro has a good selection of medical specialists, such as cardiologists, neurologists, and orthopedists. However, for highly specialized medical care, many people from Patzcuaro will go to the larger cities in Mexico, such as Mexico City or Guadalajara. These larger cities usually have much more advanced technology and treatments available, and medical specialists with more expertise. Additionally, there are some private medical clinics in Patzcuaro that are connected to larger medical centers in other cities, allowing local access to more complex medical treatments, like organ transplants, if necessary," explained one expat living in Patzcuaro, Mexico.
