This company provides high-quality service at a reasonable cost. I received medical assistance at my doorstep within 2hrs hours. Hernan was respectful, informative, kind, and immensely helpful. Doctor Javier demonstrated utmost professionalism, kindness, knowledge, and attention to detail. They treat each person with compassion, not just as a number. Thank you! I highly recommend this company to travelers in need of medical assistance. Thanks to everyone for their attention, care, and consideration. Best wishes to all!

Great, friendly service; ultra responsive, including on weekends. Highly recommended for anyone in Medellín and/or Bogotá. *** Only caveat is some of their providers overcharge, so don’t be afraid to check with local friends before confirming.

Look no further; This is the English-friendly, professional medical care you have been looking for. I ran out of medications while in Bogota and contacted this clinic for help. The customer service member on the phone and WhatsApp was kind and helpful. They offer telehealth and in-person visits for a reasonable price. I was quickly scheduled a telehealth appointment with a doctor and was able to get the help I needed. They will send the paper prescription to you via a courier. The physician was caring and approachable. Above all the service is bar-none excellent for expats and foreigners. 5/5.

Had a great experience with these guys (Hernan was my coordinator) over a badly sprained ankle, seen a doctor with great English, got a prescription, referred to get an ultrasound, got the results read and explained to me, everything was super fast and professional and getting great follow up care! Really felt so looked after and can highly recommend!

Hernan the coordinator has been super reactive and helpful, and Javier the doctor was very knowledgeable. I caught them because of a bad bug caught in Bogotá, it took only a few hours to get better thanks to them. They also recommend the right pharmacist to avoid issues. To summarise, as Hernan told me "done that, been there" and it shows 😊

I messaged them on WhatsApp and within the hour they got me an appointment and I was seen by a doctor. It was really easy and smooth.I had been so unwell for the last 48 hours and with a stomach bug. They were so attentive and helpful. Would use them again and would recommend them!

The doctors knew exactly what the issues were and helped me instantly. They were willing to rearrange time schedules to meet my hours. Highly recommend this for expats or tourists

This service is very useful for foreigners who do not speak Spanish. I speak it, but every time I have a health problem or need a medical order, I continue to trust Hernán and this service, which guarantees me the best response in terms of time, quality and cost. Instead of getting involved with emergencies or clinics, I prefer to trust them.

Great starting point if you are considering visiting a doctor for any medical reason in Bogotá Colombia. DoctorForExpats were extremely quick in communicating with me and swift in setting me up with a doctor. Backstory: I needed some bloodwork done and I couldn’t get an appointment with my primary care physician till 3 months later, here in the u.s. Fortunately I was planning on going to Bogota soon anyways and they were able to get me an appointment asap. Dr. Javier Lopez was really informative and gave me all the information I needed. Would highly recommend.

Amazing service!They were able to send me a doctor the same day.The doctor arrived on time, was patient, and answered all my questions in Spanish and English.The medication prescribed helped get rid of my long lasting cough in a couple of days.Hope I won’t need to see a doctor again, but if I do doctors for expats will definitely be top of mind!

As a digital nomad, it's always a hit or miss to find a good reliable doctor when traveling. This was by far one of the easiest, most convenient, and fairly priced experience I've had.After reaching out, I had an appointment set up the same day to fit my schedule, and my prescription sent almost immediately after the call.Every one was super friendly, professional and efficient. Will definitely be using this service and recommending to my friends. Thank you!

Super organised and responsive team. Hernan was very helpful at arranging everything I needed, even managing to get me an appointment same day. And Dr Jenny was very kind and professional. I was nervous about finding a doctor here in Medellín, but DoctorsforExpats were perfect and a reasonable price.

These guys offer a quality service at a fair price. I was able to get a doctor at my doorstep within 24 hours. Hernan treated me with absolute respect, was very informative, kind, and incredibly helpful with my situation. Doctor Daniela exuded total professionalism, was kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and incredibly detailed. This organization treats you like an individual and with compassion. They don't treat you like a number but instead they treat you like a person. Thank you. I would recommend this company to anyone traveling who needs medical help. Thank you everyone for your attention to detail, care, and consideration of my situation and needs. All the best!

Really good, fast and helpful service. It was really handy to discuss in Whatsapp and then have a video meeting with the doctor. I would definetly recommend if you get sick in your travels. Easy to pay with credit card and good value for your money. Thanks a lot of your excellent service 😊🙏

I received a quick response once I submitted my request. The response was clear and professional which provided two options for a consultation, one in-person and the other online. I opted for the “teledoc” and then set up a time that was convenient for me. The online payment process was simple and efficient. I thought the fee was very reasonable and comparable to what I would have received in the US. The doc prescribed medication that I easily filled nearby. If needed, I would use Doctors for Expats again and would recommend their services.

Very fast, kind and efficient. I had an in-home appointment with an English speaking doctor the day after I've contacted them, even though it was Sunday in a holiday period. They were also fast to provide the documentation needed for my travel insurance

Had a very good and professional experience with Doctors for Expats. The service of making the appointment went super fast, I got one the same day as I reached out, and the doctor I spoke to was thorough with his questions. I got my prescription after 15 minutes. Would recommend for sure!!

I have used doctors for expats twice now for two different issues whilst in Colombia, once for an online consultation and once in person. In both instances I was able to get an appointment very quickly, everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly, and I was extremely happy with the service provided. Everyone also is English-speaking, which makes things much easier. Overall I would 100% recommend the company to anyone that has issues whilst in Colombia!

Kate Hardy

Our experience with Doctors for Expats was exceptional. We are travellers & needed an English speaking doctor. The response from reception was also very prompt & within the day of messaging on WhatsApp we had a virtual appointment with a Doctor (on a Sunday too!). After receiving test results the interpretation was received the same day. Overall the service is professional, thorough & I would highly recommend if you are in need of medical services in Colombia. Thanks to your whole team.

Amazing, affordable, and rapid service for English speaking expats and tourists in Colombia (not just Bogota!). I was able to get a telemedicine visit with a doctor within 30 minutes of reaching out, and left with prescriptions that were easily found at the local pharmacy. They even followed up to check on me the next day to ensure my symptoms were improving. I can’t recommend this enough!
