Feedback From Our Patients:
Posted on D and A GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a great service! Not expensive and fast. You can place your trust in them to complete your needs. Hernan was my advisor and was extremely helpful!Posted on MARY MORANTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I live in the UK and my son is on a gap year in Columbia. I needed to get a doctors appointment for him. I cannot praise ‘DoctorsForExpats’ enough. The communication/process/follow up was first class. AMAZING service thank you so much.Posted on M.A CarrilloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They responded incredibly fast, and I was able to have a doctor’s visit within just a few hours. The whole experience was smooth/punctual and the service was very friendly. Dr. Franco was very kind, knowledgeable, professional and took the time to answer all of my questions, which I really appreciated. I’m very happy that I found them and would definitely use this service again. I highly recommend.Posted on Maria GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Lopez was 10/10 doctor. Highly recommend this service. I got an appointment within 2 hours of buying the service and my medication within one hour of the appointment. I’m from America and I was treated better here as a foreigner with regards to healthcare than I would have been in my own country.Posted on Jim RundellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have nothing but superlatives to report about Doctors for Expats. My husband and I arrived for a long-term stay in Colombia and other countries in South America, and discovered when we arrived we brought an incorrect amount of medication. We also needed a significant amount of travel advice since we were going to be at several different elevations at different times, from sea level to 5,000 meters, and several elevations in between. I can't say enough about how much Dr. Franco and her team helped. Dr. Franco walked through all of our medications and provided prescriptions for those we needed for our 88 days in South America. She also walked through each of our destinations and gave us medication prescriptions for altitude sickness prevention and seasickness prevention. She also reviewed all of our vaccines with us to make sure all were up to date, and covered important disease prevention information with us. She reviewed our medical histories as part of our consultations and wrote a very informative note at the end. Dr. Franco and her team was also spectacular. Their attention to detail with arranging our appointment, reminding us, making sure all the logistics were proactively attended to, and following up to make sure all of our prescriptions were filled was beyond our hopes and expectations. We would not hesitate to consult with Doctors for Expats again if the need arose. Thanks to your team for making our rather complex situation turn out to be so well-managed.Posted on Carolina BacaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing doctor and set up. They offer online video conference appointment or a house visit. My husband and I were visiting Bogota and I needed a doctor and Dr. Franco came to the hotel we were staying at. She was very helpful and relatable. Hernan was also amazing at setting it up same day and they also supported me post appointment with questions I still had. Would highly recommend! We were traveling from Austria and the US and Doctors for Expat made me feel taken care of and right at home. Thank you!Posted on Marja MatikainenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used the second time this service. Again everything went very well. Honest and trustworthy service.Posted on Aoife Kate PittsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough good things about this lab and team!! I needed a super last minute blood test in Bogotá and they managed to fit me in very quickly. Jefferson, the nurse was very kind and efficient, and his visit in my home was very clean and professional. And, I received my results so quickly! I would recommend this service to anyone looking for an affordable and professional lab service. I speak only B2 level spanish and I had no problems, and this is much cheaper than a lot of the “expat” doctors available in Bogotá that wanted to charge me about 5x as much as this service.Posted on Karl J. SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doctors For Expats was very helpful, professional, and competent in performing their services for me. I would highly recommend them.
