Seeking an English-Speaking Doctor in Tijuana, Mexico

Hi there! I live in the US and I've just been diagnosed with a hormone imbalance.

To make a long story short, there are many treatments for my particular condition, but the best one is drug made by Bayer that's administered as a once-every-three-months injection. The catch is, it's available pretty much everyone in the world EXCEPT the United States and Canada.

Since I often visit Los Angeles, I was thinking of making a day trip to Tijuana, Mexico, if I could find an English-speaking doctor there who could administer the injection. It would be preferable if the doctor was a GP, internist, urologist or endocrinologist. I don't speak any Spanish, unfortunately.

If anyone could recommend such a doctor, in Tijuana, I'd be much obliged. Thanks!

I don't have a recommendation for a doctor. However, the United States has a consulate in Tijuana, which you can call for information on English-speaking doctors in Tijuana.

Presumably you could get names and numbers for these doctors and call the doctors and see who can best help you.

Even more to the point the link I cite above has a PDF list of doctors local to Tijuana.
