  2. Dr. Gordon first came to Mexico in his youth looking for a medical education before returning to the American medical system. Finding Mexico easier to navigate than Europe, he ended up at Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara. Affiliated with the World Health Organization, the Rockefeller Organization, and others, the school was a great place to start and offered a very hands-on education. He studied for several years before returning to the U.S to begin his specialty training in Chicago and Troy, Michigan. After finishing his training, Dr. Gordon was invited to stay on as faculty. He took over directorship of the office and eventually began to take over directorship of utilization review, which reviews patients being discharged. Having worked in a more administrative setting for almost ten years, Dr. Gordon began engaging in outside volunteer work, one of his favorite ways to get involved and give back to the community.

  3. It was around this time that he decided he was ready to get back to what he loved, which was helping people. He and his family began to see their lifestyle changing in Michigan and they didn’t like the direction it was going, so they moved back to Guadalajara where he started a solo private practice. After a few years, he realized there was a surplus of doctors in Guadalajara, and his practice was growing at a slower pace than he expected. At this same time, Dr. Gordon had a friend who was encouraging him to relocate. While growing his private office after making the move east, Dr. Gordon continued to dedicate his time to more volunteer work and different community groups, including the Navy League. It was through this work with retired veterans that he became involved with Lakeside Medical Group. When Dr. Gordon heard about the group’s program, he began inquiring about the possibility of expanding, as they were only working with doctors in the Ajijic area at the time.

  4. Lakeside Medical Group offers comprehensive medical care in Mexico covered by over 360 insurance companies in the U.S and Canada. The group is 100% compliant with billing laws and can even accept Advantage Plans despite not being able to access benefits associated with Medicare A and B. Their network of providers includes physicians at locations owned and operated by the group, as well as a long list of independent providers including specialists, hospitals, laboratories, diagnostic centers, out-patient facilities, and pharmacies. Dr. Gordon is just one of the many providers made available through the group. The best part about Lakeside Medical Group is how easy everything is. Providing quality care is important to them. They do all the work to search out trusted facilities to partner with and you know you can always feel comfortable with who you are seeing, even if you are just traveling and need to visit urgent care in an emergency.

  5. Accessing their services is as easy as filling out a registration form, there are no fees or expenses to the patient member aside from an occasional small copay. They handle all the billing between the provider in Mexico and your insurance in the U.S. or Canada, which means that the group covers any bills and payments to the providers, including hospitals. Depending on your coverage, you can come in and see Dr. Gordon or one of the group’s other doctors for as little as $100 pesos, or visit a hospital for only $500 pesos and rest easy knowing the rest is taken care of. Lakeside Medical Group contacts your insurance provider so you don’t ever have to deal with any paperwork or wait to be reimbursed.

  6. One of the reasons Dr. Gordon and other doctors or facilities choose to work with Lakeside Medical Group is because it is a benefit to their office as well. It allows them to increase the volume of patients they see without having to go through the red tape with insurance providers. Being paid by an American insurance company, a process that normally takes six months to a year ends up having a turnaround time of fifteen to thirty days when it is processed through Lakeside Medical Group. The uniting factor between providers like Dr. Peter Gordon and Lakeside Medical Group is that they both strive to help people. They believe that healthcare should be simple and affordable no matter where you are and will do what it takes to make that happen.
