Questions from San Diego patients
How do I get there by car?
Cross at San Ysidro or Otay Mesa. Follow signs for the toll road (Mexico 1D) toward Rosarito and Ensenada. Our address is Carretera Libre Tijuana–Ensenada Km 29.5 #500, Popotla, Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico; we can also send directions by WhatsApp. Carry some cash for tolls.
Can I come without a car?
Yes. Many visitors walk across at San Ysidro and take a rideshare or taxi from the Tijuana side. Tell us your plan and we'll help with details.
Is Rosarito safe to visit?
The US State Department's advisory for Baja California has a travel advisory, mainly because of crime. Practical steps: use the toll road, drive in daylight, keep valuables out of sight and tell someone your plans.
San Ysidro or Otay Mesa?
Either works. Check current wait times for both before you head back.
Can I do the whole trip in one day?
Yes. Most patients come and go the same day. For the 5-hour NAD+ session, plan a full day.
Should I get SENTRI?
If you cross often, SENTRI gives you dedicated lanes coming back. Approval takes time, so apply well ahead.
Does US health insurance cover this?
Generally, no. Plan to pay out of pocket. Services are provided in Mexico by Mexican-licensed professionals, in English and Spanish.
Can I take vitamins or medications home?
No. We don't sell or ship NAD+ vials or any IV product for home use. For other medications, check CBP's guidance before you travel.
