Dr. Oscar Mendizabal Polanco

About the Doctor

Treatment is performed with infrared laser or needles. The cancellation policy is like any doctor's: cancellations with more than 24 hours' notice do not incur a fee. Cancellations within 24 hours of the appointment incur a 50% fee. Not showing up for an appointment without canceling incurs a 100% fee. Punctuality is very important. A tolerance of 20 minutes is given, after which the patient is no longer seen and the appointment is charged at 100%. The first-time consultation lasts approximately one hour, during which the treatment to be followed is explained, always honoring the patient's wishes. If the indicated treatment is not acupuncture, the most appropriate one is recommended for each case. Subsequent consultations include a brief interview about progress and the treatment is applied.
