 Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. When mom and I first came to Mexico I was on the hunt for bioidentical to continue our prescriptions from home.  It wasn’t easy to find someone but I finally did.  Unfortunately the units of measure are different in Mexico and the doctor I found over prescribed by 4 times the amount of thyroid medication which results in both of us becoming very ill.  I was on the search for a new doctor which was a frustrating adventure.  Most family doctors aren’t educated in hormonal health but thank goodness the Universe sent a gift.  I found Dr Marco Polo and he has been a godsend.  His time and attention and patience is remarkable.  He has not only made us feel so much better, he has been able to prescribe our bioidentical and at a more reasonable cost compared to the previous doctor.  I can without any hesitation highly recommend Dr Marco for anyone with hormonal issues.  Thank you Dr Marco and staff for your care and support.  The best team ever!

I have been dealing with severe back and sciatic pain for many years. Dr Nuri reduced my pain so much that I was able to walk without being in so much pain. I can’t recommend her enough she is so kind and knowledgeable. If you need help with anything give her a try she will be honest and will do all she can to help improve your situation.

 Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Thank you Santulan Garden and Dr. Samantha!! I had been suffering with physical pain in my knee and with gaining weight for a few years (inspite of trying to loose weight). I had been feeling disappointed and frustrated with my efforts and other treatments to feel better so I was also feeling emotionally low. Soon after my first appointment I experienced relief from the knee pain. I could finally see my kneecap again! After only 5 months I feel like myself again!! I've lost 7 kilos too! I am very grateful for Functional Medicine, Acupuncture, Detox, Santulan Garden clinic but especially for Dr Samantha!! ¡Mil gracias!

I’d had asthma and taking steroid inhalers for over 37 years and since I finished my treatment with him I’ve been a full year today without any asthma medication! He has a great mix of western trained and eastern philosophy. His English is incredible and when I’m back in Mexico I’ll be absolutely going to see him again! Thank you so much

Dr Marco is an extremely competent Doctor who has in-depth knowledge of Western and Chinese medicine, as well as many other alternative treatments and modalities. On top of this, Dr Marco is very kind hearted and I can feel his genuine care for his patents. He has a wealth of knowledge and is more than happy to answer any questions and share his insights and experience on a wide range of health and wellness topics. He offers a very unique set of treatments and protocols, and has a wide range of supplements to support all types of health goals. He has an excellent team around him who are equally as caring, helpful and a real joy to communicate with. It is a great pleasure and joy to work with Dr Marco and I'd highly recommend him, as he provides a world class service and amazing results!

I saw Dra Sam for a significant chronic health issue and within a month it was healed completely due to Dra Sam's skilled guidance.  I had been dealing with Western doctors telling me there was nothing wrong with me for months and it was very disheartening. Dra Sam really took the time to listen to me and validated my experience. I felt extremely supported and cared for. Highly recommend Santulan
