Questions patients actually ask
How do I check a orthopedic surgeon in Guadalajara is certified?
Joint replacement is certified through the Consejo Mexicano de Ortopedia y Traumatología. Certification runs five years and then must be renewed, so ask for the certificate number and the expiry date, then look both up in the CONACEM public directory.
Is "certified" on a clinic website enough?
No. Clinics and medical plazas across Mexico advertise "certified specialists" without naming a board, a number or a date. Certification is a public record with an expiry, so the word alone is an adjective rather than something you can act on.
How long should I stay in Guadalajara?
Several days in hospital and weeks of rehabilitation. Settle before you travel where that rehabilitation happens and who supervises it. Guadalajara is reached by air, so plan the recovery stay before booking a return flight.
