I went many years ago for my back. I'm no longer in back pain and haven't been for years. These…read morepeople know what they're doing and I highly recommend them.

In the fall of 2021 I decided to move forward with stem cells. My MD knows the chief scientific…read moreofficer Dr Rafael Gonzalez so I decided to start with a consult here. My consult was with Dr Alberto Ortiz who is very kind and patient, answering all of my questions and following up with emails. After consulting with my MD, she advised me against stem cells. I decided to go with a different therapy... *Unknown to me the product we used was also developed by Dr. Gonzalez in his American lab and uses the SAME CELL LINE as what is used at Rehealth. This was told to me by Dr Gonzalez himself.* Needless to say, the treatment did not go well and led me down a rabbit hole of research I should have done prior to receiving this treatment. For anyone considering this clinic (or any of Dr. Gonzalez's products) I leave this review for you so that you don't make the same mistake I did. If you Google Dr Gonzalez you will find he spends a lot of time promoting his clinic, doing podcasts, radio shows, YouTube interviews, etc. He networks with "wellness influencers" (aka quacks) who have large followings on social media. One of these is Dr Daniel Pompa, who is frequently featured on Rehealth's IG account. He's currently serving 16 years of probation for stealing $1.4 million from a trust fund. Dr Gonzalez has also been associated with John Kosolcharoen of Liveyon who partnered with Rehealth's pediatric sister clinic World Stem Cells Clinic. He was previously involved in a Ponzi scheme and was also arraigned on federal charges for health care fraud. His business partner, Alan Gavick (a podiatrist) had his license put on probation due to medical malpractice. Their company Liveyon put about a dozen people in the hospital due to contaminated products. These are the people that Dr. Gonzalez does business with. When I spoke to Dr Gonzalez regarding my poor response to his product he came across as caring and sympathetic even asking me to send him bloodwork. I was surprised and did exactly as he asked. His only response was a list of referrals to his "pricey" (in his words) colleagues. There was no acknowledgement of the bloodwork I sent. After what I spent on his product I have no money left to spend on his quack friends. One thing you will notice is that when these treatments fail (or make you sick) it is never their fault. It's you or something you did. Your diet, your bad habits, your doctor etc. They will happily take every last dime you have and, when things go wrong, blame you. (I also want to mention that their doctors are rather young and that the treatments are not customized for your condition. They simply give you IVs/injections of stem cells and send you on your way). I would take any "patient testimonials" with a grain of salt. This clinic has "investors" and my guess is that many of the "patients" featured on their IG account are financially invested friends and colleagues of Dr. Gonzalez who are exchanging glowing reviews for free treatments. Most recently he treated a radio personality at Rehealth and was then featured on his podcast. How convenient. I really hope my review saves someone their time, money and health. I wish I would have known all of this before spending all my money and ruining my health. You can get much better treatment at a more experienced clinic for a lot less. Save yourself the trouble and heartache.

Brought friend in here after a fall. Eventually diagnosed with 2 fractures but only after paying up…read morefront and then paying more to see an orthopedist. No evidence of concern for his pain and zero checks to see how he was doing. We're on your 6 of sitting here and watching the attendants avoid our gazes. Be prepared to pay, wait, and be ignored. Alfredo was the only shining light and seemed to be the only person who understands customer service. He mans the international reception desk and was the only one who really tried to help. Unfortunately, his team sucks.

Sadly, I have to give 1 star to the hospital…read more We were on vacation in Cancun are and our toddler needed in urgent care assistance - he had blood coming out of his mouth (which was very scary - I'm sure every parent will understand - especially in a foreign country). He was also generally unhappy and fussy for a couple of days prior to that. It also felt like he has fever. Seeing the blood makes you have to think very quickly! After a quick research, we found Galenia - it was highly recommended by multiple sources, including this Yelp page. Of course, we went there and our son was admitted in the ER. He was seen about 30-40 minutes after we came in, which was acceptable. Luckily there was no new blood coming our of our son's mouth... We were told in advance that we would need to pay around $350 for ER services. It felt like extremely high for Mexico, but we didn't have a choice so we decided to stay and wait. When a nurse was ready to see us, turned out they DON'T have any pediatrician on staff at the moment. Whoops! Well, ok, a "regular" doctor should suffice since it's an emergency for us. Hopefully the doctor will apply common sense to the situation. The nurse has taken vitals from our son... Another 20 minutes and the doctor came. He spent about 5 minutes looking at our son and concluded that the blood in the mouth may be related to an extreme allergic reaction to pineapples that our son was eating when that happened. Nothing life-threatening. Ok - good to hear! There was also fever and the doctor concluded that it'll just go away and nothing needs to be done, outside of giving him fever reducing medications. We got a few medications prescribed. Paying $354 for that felt a little high, but that's alright, we've taken the time from someone else's time in the Emergency Room, so it's understandable. Next thing I did is picking up the prescribed medicine. It wasn't very cheap, but that was ok... Fast-forward to the late evening of the same day; I'm unpacking the medicine and seeing that each of the 3 different medicines that the doctor has prescribed are strongly NOT recommended to be taken for children under 3 years old - it said that straight up on the package. Yikes! Well, we are definitely not giving that to our son. The doctor hasn't mentioned anything about it. Chances are, he just does not know what can and can not be prescribed to children, since he is not a pediatrician... We avoided giving the medication to our son. However, his condition wasn't improving much. Three days later, we arrived back into the US, went straight to our pediatrician. Turns out, our son has (1) thrush, and (2) ear infection. Thrush was bad. Ear infection was REALLY BAD. We had to be taking two different types of antibiotics for the length of 25 days afterwards for it to treat! I wish the doctor would look into the ears, which I know pediatricians normally do when children have fever, and notice that it's REALLY BAD. None of the medications were originally prescribed to treat neither thrush nor ear infection. And of course, our pediatrician confirmed that the medicine that was prescribed would make our son ever more miserable if we gave it to him, since it wasn't made for toddlers. The doctor was just NOT qualified to see our son. What a waste of money and time; it made our lives truly MISERABLE for the following 2-3 weeks. I wish they had a pediatrician on staff to see kids; or were upfront about it so that we had time to go to a ER that would have one. Be on the look out for that, and definitely try to find an urgent care somewhere else first if it's not a life-threatening situation, since this place charges tourists an arm and a leg.

I broke a bone in my foot after a night out on the town. Being across from my hotel, I came to this…read moremedical center for help. The doctor who helped me came with me to the hospital and ensured my safety and well being the entire time. It took a while to get approved by insurance, and the prices aren't good, but that's just what happens when you break your foot in another country. The whole process took about 4 hours, but with the health crisis going on I'm not sure anywhere else would be faster

She did say to double check with insurance first. iShe got my number and then sent me a quote via What's APP. The quote was for a hotel visit and it was after hours but even then $1,051.22 dollars?!?!?! That is highway robbery for Mexico. I lived in Mexico for 5 years and am very aware of prices for a house visit. I had plenty for my children, I would have doctor come to my house for consultation. I was super disappointed with how I was never informed of pricing until I got a What's APP message to accept the fee. I want everyone to know to watch out for these places that take total advantage of tourist who do not know. To top it off, I had gotten a quote from a doctor tne hotel recommended the day before and the fee was $1,500 pesos for him to come to hotel for a consultation. The only issue was he wanted cash which I do not carry but after this quote, I am calling him for his honesty. My advise for when you are sick on a International trip is to use hotel recommendations. I found this place on internet and I learned my lesson. Glad I said no thank you to the message!! I am added it the quote that I received for your reference.
