Can you recommend skin Doctor?? Please

I need to get a cancer screening. Can you recommend a Dr. there? Even if it is in Merida? Or other area. Previous sunburns are coming back to haunt me!!!!!
Thank you!

There is a dermatologist, Dr. Bass, on Av. 30 and Calle 30. His office number is 984 873 17 93 and his cell number is 984 11 36 300. My self and a friend have been to see him on a few occasions.

There is also Dr. Anna, who I have seen mentioned on this forum previously. The information I have for her is that she is located at 35 Ave. and Calle 2. Her numbers are 998 873 0943 and 873 1343, cell 998 149 4197. In addition, if this is important, English is spoken.

Not sure that Dr. Anna is still in Playa. I thought that she might have moved back to Mexico City.

I cant beleive Dr Gabi wasnt mentioned here. Dr Gabi works at the Sandar Clinic on ten bis between 20 and 25. Across from the side of walmart. The number for rhe clinic is 984-80-2039. Dr Gabi is the best-he can speak perfect English. The clinic has set prices. Not sure what they are now but a couple of years ago they were 400 pesos per visit. He removed one of my moles and the total was 800 pesos for two visits.

he is not a gp. And all he sees are patients with skin problems. I cant say if he is a dermatologist yet but I know he has been doing extensive studies in mexico city and merida. It would be worth for anyone to check him out. I was totally impressed.
