Not medical advice. Whether a treatment is right for you is a decision to take with a doctor or dentist who has examined you. We never rank, review or recommend clinics in Mexico City.

The national registers for Mexico cover Mexico City too:
Doctors
Ministry of Education: national register of professionals (cédula profesional)
Search a doctor's or dentist's name to see their professional licence and, for a surgeon, the specialist licence (cédula de especialista).
Clinics
COFEPRIS: list of licences for establishments where surgery is performed
A downloadable list (PDF, updated 30 September 2026) of the establishments with a sanitary licence for surgical or obstetric acts, with their address, state, licence number and date. Search the file for the clinic's name and address. Not every clinic is on it: an establishment that does not need a licence files an aviso de funcionamiento instead, so ask the clinic which one applies and for a copy.
Is the clinic in the official register of Mexico?
Type part of the clinic's name, or the CLUES key (11 letters and digits). We answer only whether it is in the CLUES catalogue of health establishments (Secretaría de Salud, DGIS), private-sector units, as of 30 Sep 2026: we never rank or recommend a clinic. Individual doctors' practices are shown with the name abbreviated.
