Went to Dr Alberto Zamacona today for a last minute appointment after being sick for a couple of days with a stomach bug. He was kind, thorough and very helpful. His English was perfect, great doctor to visit if you are an English speaking traveller!

My first doctors visit in years (unfortunately on vacation in Mexico) but it was great. Doctor Zamacona was calm, friendly, and speaks English perfectly. He practiced in clinica Santa Fe. I got an appointment on the same day of request and precise diagnosis and medication that helped me get well soon.

Great experience. Highly recommend for any English speaking tourists looking for a doctor. Was able to message him on whatsapp and be seen with little notice for an ailment I was experiencing and his nice clinic.

My partner had been unwell for several days, and the doctor saw him right away after we called. He was very reassuring and thorough, and even allowed my partner to rest on a surgery bed whilst I went to the pharmacy as we had left our Airbnb for the trip and had a flight that afternoon. He spoke fluent English, and had great medical knowledge (my partner is on immunosuppressants for another illness which he was very familiar with). Would highly recommend, especially for someone who is travelling.

The Doctor is compassionate and understanding. He is also has a dry sense of humor and can come off quirky. I did not mind it. His English is excellent. He is a great resource to English-speakers who visit Oaxaca or who live here and have not quite mastered the language. His focus was on alleviating my suffering, as I had waited quite some time before making an appointment because I dislike going to the doctor, and prefer to let illnesses run their course, treating symptoms with home remedies. Usually I am successful, but not this time! I didn't have COVID, but I did need relief from an ornery sinus infection, and a GI parasite. Gracias Doctor!
