Respiratory care for visitors, expats and English-speaking patients — in central Mexico City (Benito Juárez). Same-day visits when available, video teleconsultation, and direct WhatsApp.
If you're visiting or living in Mexico City and your breathing isn't right — a cough that won't settle, wheezing, chest tightness, or unexpected shortness of breath — you can see a pulmonologist (a lung specialist, neumólogo in Spanish) without a language barrier. Dr. William Lara trained at the INER, Mexico's national respiratory institute, and sees English-speaking patients at a centrally located office in Benito Juárez.
Saturnino Herrán 59, San José Insurgentes, Benito Juárez — minutes from Insurgentes, Del Valle, Roma–Condesa and Polanco.
Same-day appointments are often available. Prefer to stay at your hotel or home? A video teleconsultation works for many problems.
Message the office on WhatsApp (+52) in English to ask about availability, what to bring, and pricing before you come in.
Travelling with asthma or COPD? You can get a refill plan, a check after a flare, or interpretation of tests done back home.
Mexico City sits at ~2,240 m (7,350 ft). Thinner air plus pollution can trigger breathlessness, a tight chest, or an asthma/COPD flare in the first days. Read the altitude guide →
A new environment, dust and ozone can set off wheezing and night-time cough. We confirm control with spirometry and adjust your inhaler plan.
A cough lingering after a cold, fever with phlegm, or chest pain when breathing — assessed in person, with imaging arranged if needed.
Loud snoring, gasping, daytime sleepiness — testable from your hotel or home with a home sleep apnea test.
