Feedback From Our Patients:
Posted on Laura whitakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We needed medical certificates for our new jobs and we had a great experience with Hernan and Dr Lopez. Hernan communicated with all the way through the process. He was very quick at responding to our many questions and he organised the tests that we needed. Both Hernan and Dr Lopez were very professional throughout.Posted on JR MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We knew we would only be in Bogotá for 4 days, and we needed a complete medical for work. Hernan was really helpful and organised everything for us. Once booked in, everything ran smoothly and on time. Highly recommend this agency.Posted on Jill BernardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience with Doctors For Expats! I reached out via Whatsapp and they replied immediately, and were able to give me a telehealth appointment within a few hours. The practitioner asked great questions to diagnose me. They sent me an electronic prescription that was very easy to get filled near my hotel. Vacation saved!! Thank you.Posted on David PineroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing, affordable service with a professional and attentive staff. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and communicative throughout the process, and I was seen in a timely manner. Excellent experience overall — highly recommend for expats needing medical care in Colombia.Posted on No SpamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found myself in a situation where I urgently needed to find a remote telehealth provider who speaks English and Spanish to review some medical documents and prescribe me a medication. DoctorsForExpats promptly set me up with an appointment with Dr Vargas, who was able to do what I needed, and took care to ensure I could proceed safely. I would recommend this service.Posted on H Wayne Hayes JrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The entire team at Doctors for Expats is absolutely spectacular!Hernan and his team went above and beyond. In less than 18 hours from start to finish, they arranged a physician telemedicine consultation, had laboratory tests performed right in my home, and organized an urgent MRI.I have lived in Bogotá for 8 years and speak very little Spanish. This team made everything incredibly smooth, efficient, and stress-free. They are true lifesavers and unbelievable professionals.I cannot recommend Doctors for Expats highly enough. If you’re an expat in Bogotá and need fast, reliable, and high-quality medical assistance, this is the team to call.— H.
