Check your doctor's credentials(There full name is required)
How can you make sure your chosen doctor is up to date in his field or truly qualified for the procedures he’s performing? What can you do to ensure that you are in the best possible hands?
The following websites contain information about physician training and certification. If your physician does not appear at these sites you are encouraged to ask them why not. They should always be able to document their training and continuing education.
• At www.cedulaprofesional.sep.gob.mx you can check both the general medical and specialty license. Make sure your provider has a medical license, known as a cédula profesional. Note that the site is in Spanish and requires knowing the doctor’s complete name.
• Board examinations are called Exámenes del Consejo and each specialty has its own website. You can look up consejo mexicano de followed by the name of the specialty and check when a doctor obtained his boards and if he recertified. For example, Cardiology Boards are www.consejomexcardiologia.org.mx.
• Recertification is important because it requires physicians to attend medical meetings, publish and teach, etc. This translates into better, more current practice. Most specialties require recertification every five years.
Also, many doctors are members of the American Academy of their specialty and thus meet the stringent training and education criteria required of their members.
Finally, physicians practicing in government certified hospitals, public or private, are required to have all their certification in order.

For checking federal cedulas the SEP site has a very poor search engine, a better one is on this site
http://www.buholegal.com/consultasep/
Also they reformed the Jalisco State professions law requiring many professionals to have state cedulas and do continuing education and take tests, technically it is illegal to practice starting this year without a state cedula although the office to get new ones has been closed as they are changing to new system and professionals are being given time to comply, the state site to search the state cedula is

This site is often cited. What a sight!
I hear your heir is here and getting in your hair, but is quite quiet about it.
Those, and some others, sum it up.
