35+ years as a financial/retirement planner. Several years as a Speaker in the Focus On Mexico programs and then took over ownership and operations about 6 years ago. B.A., CFP

Grew up as an Airforce brat - living in over 15 US states. When my brother went to medical school in Guadalajara, I visited him (1972) and during a adventuresome road-trip, we stopped at Lake Chapala and Ajijic. The "hook" was set and as a financial planner I started doing financial planning seminars in Mexico for Expats - just to be able spend more time there. Finally happened across Focus on Mexico and become a speaker - and now, along with my wife Rhonda, we run the Focus program. We also spend several months a year in Halifax, Nova Scotia where, remarkably, all of our children and grandchildren reside.

Medical Director
Ribera Medical Center

Dr. Santiago Hernández is a native of Chicago having grown up there since the age of 2 when his family emigrated from the state of Michoacan, Mexico. He attended Indiana University where he received his B.A. in Spanish and Biology.

Having lived in the Chicagoland area for more than 30 years makes him a unique and effective communicator and healthcare provider in both English and in Spanish. His years of training in the U.S. make him exceptionally familiar with the U.S. healthcare system and those standards of care have allowed him to develop not only a solid knowledge base but also a keen sense and intuition of what the needs and expectations of American and Canadian patients may be.

Receiving his medical training in Mexico and in the U.S., no language or cultural barriers exist while patients are under his care in the Chapala Lakeside area or in the event of hospitalization in Guadalajara. His years of training as a medical interpreter and 4 years in Family Medicine makes him exceptionally familiar with the standards of care in the U.S. healthcare system without losing sight of the care and compassion that has come to be recognized of the healthcare system in Mexico.

Dr. Hernández, being an EXPAT himself, has a solid knowledge base and a keen sense and intuition of the needs and expectations of the AMERICAN and CANADIAN Expat community of Jalisco when it comes to their healthcare needs. These personal and professional assets have positioned Chapala Med as the GO-TO practice for EXPATS living in the Chapala Lakeside area and Guadalajara.

Chapala Med is affiliated with Hospital Country 2000 in Guadalajara where Dr. Hernández enjoys hospital privileges.

Providing healthcare access to those who cannot afford it is one of the ways Dr. Hernández gives back to the community. Dr. Hernández has been an active member of the ROTARY CLUB of Ajijic since 2013 and currently serves as the organization’s Past President. In addition, he provides free healthcare to members of the TEPEHUA community in Chapala Jalisco as well as to 105 students that are in the PATHWAYS SCHOOL SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM (part of OPERATION FEED).

During his free time Dr. Hernández enjoys partaking in fitness activities, running, photography, tango dancing, cinema and organizing networking events for the local EXPAT communities of Chapala and Guadalajara.

I was born in Guadalajara, but raised in the North of Mexico. I was fortunate to learn English at a very young age while my Dad studied for his PHD at the University of California. Speaking English has opened many doors for my working development, and one day I found Ajijic and fell in love with the place, where at the same time could build a career. I decided to move to the Lake Chapala Area to make it my permanent home since 2009 together with my loving husband and our 2 kids who are now teenagers. I worked in different areas, such as advertisement, real estate, property management and rentals, as well as concierge services. I now have a hard-working team that make this business possible, hand to hand with me, always aiming to provide the best service experience possible to all our clients. I love to help others feel at home – and to help them feel as a part of a family and facilitate new comers to a smooth transition into living in Mexico. I am a “problem solver” and aim to keep it simple and get things done right.

Focus Program Feedback

Focus on Mexico overcame the obstacle of COVID by creating an excellent online seminar. It was well organized and informative showcasing qualified speakers. An added feature is for the attendees is having access to replays of each presentation. This is especially important due to the amount of information presented. I highly recommend this program if you are the least bit interested in moving to Mexico.

CB Lambert Jan 2021

The Focus on Mexico team has a long and stellar history of delivering their Move to Mexico program in Ajijic. Their online program duplicates the knowledge, professionalism and personal warmth; the next best thing to being there!

Jim Ashley Jan 2021

The Focus on Mexico Online Program is an authentic, informative, high integrity, real-world education on evaluating whether to move to Mexico, with a focus on the Lakeside area. The speakers are all experts in their areas, with lived experience in Mexico. The pricing is attractive, the value, very high. It’s time well spent.

Vijay Nilekani Jan 2021

Getting reliable, reputable contacts for immigration, taxes, movers, buying and/or importing cars, medical options is invaluable for those looking to make the move.

Shirley Burt Jan 2021

Excellent! Very comprehensive with knowledgeable speakers. We could surf the web for weeks and probably not get the quality and breadth of the up to date info we learned in this seminar.

More Reviews from Focus Program Attendees

We believe that anyone who wants to retire in Mexico or "snowbird" in Mexico would find the Focus on Mexico a wonderful research tool on the process. They explained the procedure step-by-step, answered questions fully and raised and answered questions that we hadn't considered.

Terry & Carol Sullivan Nov 2019

I was provided with a wealth of information regarding a potential move not only to Ajijic but to Mexico in general. I've also been given contacts to utilize should I need more information in any specific area. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is considering a move to Mexico. Well worth the money spent.

Robin Evans March 2018

The best program. If you are even thinking about moving here to Ajijic, or anywhere in Mexico this is where you need to start. I lived and worked in Mexico years ago. I speak fluent Spanish...and I still came to a Focus week learning program in February 2017. It was worth the time and money to reconnect and feel secure about such a big move, even for me. Great friends, super support and guidance you will have forever. Love Focus on Mexico!!

Judith Gargyi

My wife and I attended the Focus On Mexico Learning Adventure just about a year ago and we have been living in Chapala-Ajijic ever since. We heartily recommend Focus as a way to get your feet on the ground and moving in the right direction. We have used the information that we received, the experts and even after the class follow-up support from Michael and Rhonda

Jorge del Castillo

I can only rave about the education I have received. You have made all this seem possible. It was such a comfort to get the kind of step-by-step information and instruction necessary to get here safely (Lake Chapala) and with a minimum of errors.
