Certified specialists in Tijuana
Questions patients actually ask
How do I check a oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Tijuana is certified?
Certified directly by CONACEM, so the certificate number and its expiry date can be looked up in the national directory like any other surgical specialty. 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?
Ask specifically about flying after any procedure involving the upper jaw or sinus. 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.
