Heart Attack in Mexico

A lot has been written regarding the great care provided by Dr. Rafael Moguel and the Amerimed Hospital in Cabo San Lucas, I for one can’t even begin to express my gratitude to Rafael for saving my life allowing me to continue caring for my family, being a husband to my wife and a dad to my son, things we take for granted when we are healthy and cherish when we encounter a brush with tragedy. I came accross this recent testimonial from a man who like myself met Rafael Moguel under dire circumstances and have since been privliged with his friendship as he continues to be my primary heart ard cardiovascular physician.

I am writing you to give my testimony for the excellent and timely care that you and your staff gave me during my heart attack on our recent trip to Cab San Lucas. Your fully equipped hospital, Amerimed, with a Cath Lab and cardiologists, enabled me to survive this severe heart attack. You and your team responded quickly, completing the treatment and the procedure of installing two stents within the critical 90 minute window. Your communication with my wife and me was excellent and compassionate, explaining my condition, what procedures you would take and why, and continued during my 5 day stay there. You were competent and knowledgeable about specific issues regarding the stent choice and my conditions, and your recommendations for treatment for me upon returning to Oregon. My wife was very calm during this stressful ordeal inpart to the excellent care and quality of service I received from you and your team.

We also appreciated you quickly forwarding all records and images to our doctors in Oregon so that we could meet with them the day after we returned. My Cardiologist agreed with all that you did. He wants my heart to recover for two weeks, and then I will have additional tests to determine the need for a third stent at that time. I am recovering my strength and feeling well, thanks to you and your team.

I am very happy with the outstanding care I received from you and the staff at Amerimed, Cabo San Lucas.

Cordially,
Dick Dunnahoe
