MND Mexico Healthcare Experience Survey™

Before you moved to Mexico, you probably Googled "healthcare in Mexico for expats" and got a mixed bag of Reddit threads, outdated blog posts and insurance company marketing. We're trying to fix that.

This 5-minute anonymous survey collects real experiences from real expats — what care actually costs, how fast you can see a doctor, what surprises people most and where the gaps are. We'll publish the results city by city. Whether you live here already or are deciding whether to make the move, these results will be the most honest, data-rich healthcare guide in English for Mexico. Your 5 minutes will build something useful for thousands of people.

Why this question: "Are the doctors actually trained properly?" is the #1 question in every expat pre-move thread. The answer — that many Mexican private specialists trained at top institutions in the U.S., Europe, or at UNAM, and many hold U.S. board certifications — is not widely known. The data here will surprise readers.
