Quick answer

Many Los Angeles patients first consider clinics in Tijuana. Longevity Clinic is in Veracruz, on the Gulf of Mexico, reached with one connection through Mexico City or Houston. You send your records first, our physician designs your personalized protocol for free, and you travel only for a session of about 45 minutes. Follow-up is remote.

For Los Angeles, the obvious option is often Tijuana, a drive away. Some patients prefer a clinic away from the border, in a quieter city, and are willing to take a flight for it.

Flights and time

  • From LAX: one connection, usually through Mexico City or Houston (nonstop IAH–VER).
  • Time difference: Veracruz is two hours ahead of LA in winter and one hour ahead in summer.

Tijuana or Veracruz?
