Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Guatemala if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"I go to either Guatemala City a 2 1/2 hours drive or Quetzaltenango 2 hours drive. Quality of services excellent," remarked another expat in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
"Guatemala City is the largest city in Guatemala and has the most comprehensive selection of medical specialists. Other cities with a good selection of medical specialists include Quetzaltenango, Escuintla, and San Marcos. Additionally, the departments of Sacatepéquez, Chimaltenango, and Sololá are known for having a wide variety of medical specialists," said a member in Guatemala.
