About the clinic

Nomadoc in Mazapil, Mexico, provides specialized care for glaucoma through a network of experts trained at top institutions like UNAM and Conde de Valenciana. The facility is recognized by ISAPS and offers a full range of services from laser therapy to advanced drainage implants. This medical platform helps international patients and expats access English-speaking specialists for chronic eye conditions.

Glaucoma diagnostics

Detecting glaucoma early is vital to prevent permanent vision loss. The clinic uses a full diagnostic suite to monitor eye health and pressure changes. Patients undergo several tests to determine the specific type and stage of the condition.

  • Comprehensive eye exam. This includes a physical check of the eye structure and optic nerve.
  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT). This imaging test creates detailed cross-sections of the retina.
  • Tonometry. A standard procedure used to measure internal eye pressure.
  • Visual field testing. This test maps the peripheral and central vision to check for blind spots.

Treatment and surgical options

The medical team offers both traditional and modern surgical methods. Specialists choose the technique based on the patient's eye pressure and the rate of vision decline. Treatment plans focus on lowering pressure to protect the optic nerve.

  • Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). This modern option uses small incisions to shorten recovery time and reduce risks.
  • Trabeculectomy. A filtration surgery that creates a new pathway for fluid to drain from the eye.
  • Glaucoma valve implantation. Surgeons place an Ahmed valve or similar drainage device to manage fluid levels.
  • Laser treatment for glaucoma. A non-invasive laser application helps improve fluid drainage without traditional incisions.
  • Glaucoma monitoring. Regular check-ups are scheduled for patients who do not require immediate surgery.

Nomadoc: more details about the clinic

Mexico, Mexico City

Founded in 2010, Nomadoc is a Mexican healthcare platform based in Mazapil, Zacatecas. It connects international patients with English-speaking specialists across major cities. These include Mexico City, Guadalajara, Cancún, and Puerto Vallarta.

The medical team has 63 doctors trained at leading institutions. These include the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and Charité University Hospital in Berlin. The clinic holds ISAPS accreditation, which signals high clinical and safety standards.

Ophthalmology and Vision Correction

The ophthalmology department offers several surgical techniques to correct refractive errors. Specialists perform LASIK surgery with an excimer laser to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Other laser methods include SmartSight and LASEK eye surgery.

Surgeons perform lens replacement for patients with cataracts. Dr. José Antonio Pérez Jiménez and Dr. Orlando Daniel Quintanar Haro specialize in these procedures. Glaucoma care focuses on regular monitoring and surgery when needed. Diagnostic tools include:

  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
  • Tonometry to measure eye pressure
  • Visual field testing
  • Full eye exams

One ophthalmologist on the team has performed over 100 LASIK procedures. This reflects strong experience with laser cornea reshaping.

Cardiology and Cardiovascular Assessment

The cardiology team provides full care for heart rhythm problems and ischemic disease. Cardiac Pre-Surgery Clearance is a key service for patients preparing for elective procedures. This assessment reduces surgical risks through detailed cardiovascular evaluations.

Dr. Isabel Maldonado focuses on diagnostic testing and risk prevention. Available diagnostic services include:

  • Echocardiogram (heart ultrasound)
  • ECG/EKG testing
  • Cardiac stress tests
  • Cardiovascular risk assessment

Cardiologists here are board-certified by the Mexican Council of Cardiology. They treat hypertension, high cholesterol, and arrhythmias.

Otolaryngology and Pediatric Care

The ENT department treats disorders of the ear, nose, and throat. Dr. Joaquín Archibaldo Hope Guerrero has over 20 years of experience. He performs larynx laser microsurgery, tonsillectomy, adenoid removal, and tympanoplasty for eardrum repair.

Pediatricians manage childhood conditions like asthma, fever, and infections such as chicken pox. Audiometry testing and direct ear exams help identify the cause of hearing loss or ringing in the ears.

Diagnostic Technologies

Nomadoc provides access to advanced imaging and lab diagnostics. Patients can receive expert interpretations through MRI Report and CT scan services. These reports address abnormalities in the chest, skull, and other major systems.

The platform also offers standard clinical tests for general health monitoring. These include carotid artery ultrasound and sleep studies. Lab work covers complete blood counts and detailed urine analysis.
