Gynecological Care in Puerto Vallarta: Better Than You Think
One of the most common questions in expat Facebook groups and forums is: "Can anyone recommend a good English-speaking gynecologist in Puerto Vallarta?" The answer is yes — and the quality of care may surprise you.
Puerto Vallarta's Versalles neighborhood has become one of Mexico's most concentrated medical districts, with specialists trained at top Mexican and international universities. At Madeira Medical Group, we have three OB-GYN specialists who regularly attend to patients from the United States, Canada, and other English-speaking countries.

Our gynecologists offer a full range of women's health services comparable to what you'd find in the US or Canada:
- Annual wellness exams — Pap smear, pelvic exam, breast exam
- Prenatal care — Complete pregnancy monitoring, low and high-risk
- 3D and 4D ultrasound — In-office, no need to go to a hospital

Do the Doctors Speak English?
According to surveys of Puerto Vallarta's medical community, approximately 80% of doctors in the city are bilingual — a direct result of the large tourist and expat population. This is especially true in the Versalles medical district where Madeira Medical Group is located.
Our gynecologists — Dr. Mario Alejandro Rendón Acosta, Dr. Rogelio Ríos Esparza, and Dra. Devy Michelle Ojeda Castellón — all communicate effectively in English and are experienced working with international patients.
