I spent 11 days in the Military Hospital in Guadalajara. The price was resonable and I found them to be very efficient. They accept non-military patients.

I have also been in the military hospital and it was very nice. My wife was in the Mexico Americano Hospital and it was very good. There are two other hospitals in Guad that deal with most of the gringos but they seem to be more expensive. They do however have more English speaking people. Even so neither of us speak Spanish and even so had no problem.

Here is a list put out by the American Citizen Services of hospitals, doctors, dentists in Guadalajara. Don't know how up to date it is.

In San Miguel if you join the American Legion or the Women's Auxiliary for $25 a year, and pay an additional $10, you get an access letter to Guadalajara and Mexico City Military Hospitals and eligibility for military rates, which are a bit cheaper than standard. I'm guessing there is an American Legion chapter where you live and that they offer the same program--you might want to check it out. I've heard the military hospitals are among the best in the country.

And despite my half-century of liberal political activism, the women in the SMA Auxiliary are fantastic and do many good works for the community, such as supplying emergency layettes and baby supplies for poor families who give birth in the local government hospital, and supplying many rural schools with educational, computer and health materials. They don't hold my anti-war views against me and in fact, most of the women share my ideas! It's not the ultra-conservative American Legion my father belonged to in Michigan! (He would be so proud to know I now belong to the American Legion, my eligibility based on having a father who served in the military. Sons and husbands and probably even brothers and uncles and mothers and daughters and wives and sisters and aunts also make you eligible! I'd even ask about cousins!)
