OUT-PATIENT CLINIC
BACKGROUND
Originally founded in 1989 by Dr.Jeff Freeman and his wife, Dr.Sonia Rodriguez at the "Advanced Center of Integrative Medicine" to pioneer Medical Hyperthermia for the treatment of Prostate BPH and Cancer. Their vision was to provide quality "Non-Consensus / Non-Cookbook" Medicine to Americans and others wanting more than traditional Allopathic Medicine provides.
 
They expanded to incorporate other therapies like Chelation, Ozone & BioOxidative Therapies, Metabolic Therapy, Immune Therapy, etc. and changed the name to reflect their primarily European Modalities in the early 1990s.
 
We're a fully licensed and registered research Out-Patient Clinic with In-Patient Services through Hospital Ingles downtown.
Treatments are carried out by Dr.Rodriguez at our clinic by appointment only, M-Sat. 9-5 pm. PST
Due to Dr.Sonias' extremely busy schedule and hospital duties, New patient candidates appointments are handled by our contract US Coordinator's Office by Dr.Bormann (Arrowhead HealthWorks) and then appointments for exams and consultation set up.

CROSSING THE SAN DIEGO / MEXICO BORDER:
 
NOTE: JANUARY 1, 2008, PASSPORTS REQUIRED FOR BORDER CROSSING.
 
Do Not Bring Medications Back into the USA without a Mexican Licensed MD Rx. You can be detained or charged with a crime depending on the drugs.
Do Not Bring Electronic Devices (laptops, etc.) into Mexico without a receipt showing your name as the owner...they can be confiscated (BIG BLACK MARKET FOR ELECTRONICS)
Do Not Bring a US Rental Car into Mexico.
YOU ARE RECORDED ON CAMERA AND MICROPHONE WHILE GOING THROUGH THE BORDER SHUTE (ON BOTH SIDES)
 
TRANSPORTATION:
San Diego Airport is 45 Minutes North of the Border.
Hotel Limosine or Shuttle Services from the Airport are available (sometimes for a fee)
You can park at the Last US Exit Parking Lot and Walk Into Mexico or take a shuttle if you're not staying at a Hotel witha Shuttle. Getting back into the US can be time intensive. We suggest taking a shuttle with diamond lane privileges.
You may drive into Mexico (we're right next to the Border Gates). Call your auto insurer to add a "temporary insurance rider" to be sure you're covered in Mexico if you want.
Shuttle Service: We contract a US Licensed Shuttle Van Service or we recommend using a Hotel which provides this service, WITH DIAMOND LANE PERMIT. This saves sitting for hours to get back into the US.
 
CELLULAR PHONES & SERVICE:
Cell Phone Use: Call your Cellular Provider to tell them you're going to be in Mexico and to "turn on" service. Mexico "owns" the air starting just about 1 mile north of the Border. There is a roaming fee usually. Check to find out how far in it will work. AT&T, Sprint & Verizon work best however service quality will vary with the type of phone used.
 
NOTES ABOUT STAYING IN MEXICO:
Tipping is expected and is the same rate as the US and appreciated in Dollars
Resturants build 15% gratuity typically into the bill already. Do NOT tip if bad service.
Bring your own bottled water for drinking and only buy bottled drinks in restuarants.
Bring "flip flops" for showering, etc. Hotels along the Border can harbor some weird stuff due to the international nature of the travellers.
A portable ozone air purifier w/filter may be desired for hotel room use.
Electrical Devices may require an adapter for US Electronics. The Power is "dirty" and can crash computers easily. A UPS/Batty back up is recommended. Adapter Travel Kits are available at any WalMart or Radio Shack if needed also.
 
INFECTIOUS DISEASE UPDATES: Typhoid Fever is endemic and is carried by flies from above ground sewage.
DO NOT EAT ANYTHING OFF A FRUIT OR TACO STANDS UNLESS IT IS BOTTLED. BRING STERILIZER GEL ALONG JUST TO BE SAFE. Turburculosis, Chollera and other "erradicated" diseases are alive and well in Mexico. Also, the water carries amoebias and other parasites which is not safe -- DO NOT BRUSH YOUR TEETH WITH EVEN HOTEL WATER OR TRUST THE BOTTLED WATER GIVEN ON THE MEXICAN SIDE.
