Call for information on medical specialties in Oaxaca

I would be interested in people's knowledge of specialists in Oaxaca City. Does anybody have information about what are good clinics/doctors and their specialties. Like cancer, orthopedics, back specialists, eye doctors, dermatologists and other specialties and their clinics and hospitals? Where to get an MRI, laser eye surgery, heart surgery, etc.

I have a few already listed here: [www.tomzap.com]

The best place for visitors to start is probably one of the hospitals, which also have doctor offices within them or nearby. Alvin has listed the three main private ones. I like Hospital Molina and have also received successful surgergy at Hospital Carmen. I don't think they do heart surgery here in Oaxaca. I "think" patients are sent to Puebla or Mexico City. There are lots of excellent doctors in Oaxaca City, but I personally am reluctant to mention specific ones. The most "popular" with visitors, of course, are those that speak English, but they aren't necessarily the best doctors.
