Questions patients actually ask
How do I check a ophthalmologist in Tijuana is certified?
Eye surgery is certified by the Consejo Mexicano de Oftalmología. 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 Tijuana?
Both procedures need a next-day check, so plan at least one night rather than crossing straight back. Tijuana is a land crossing, so a follow-up visit is a drive rather than another flight, which makes staged treatment far more practical here.
