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!

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!
Very effective and helpful

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!

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.

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!

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!

Malaria Prophylaxis

Colombia is a tropical country with a lot of diversity in its regions. About 80% of the rural territory is below 1,600 meters above sea level, which makes it an optimal place for the proliferation of diseases such as malaria.

Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite of the genus Plasmodium, which can be commonly transmitted by the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito. Among the most common symptoms of the disease, which appear a week after acquiring the parasite, are fever, headache, chills, vomiting, fatigue, and difficulty breathing.

The main malaria transmission foci in the country are found in the Pacific Region (Departments of Chocó, Cauca, Nariño and the district of Buenaventura), followed by the Urabá – Bajo Cauca – Alto Sinú region (Antioquia and Córdoba), Amazonia, Orinoquia – Central East and Atlantic.

Understanding

If you plan to visit a malaria endemic area in the coming weeks, such as those mentioned above, do not forget to take certain precautions into account and take some preventive treatment against malaria or chemoprophylaxis.

In Colombia, and in most Latin American countries, there are very few alternatives for the prevention of malaria. This is due to the resistance profile that the parasite presents in our region and due to the shortage of medicines. For this reason, we recommend you schedule a consultation with one of our English-speaking doctors so that they can guide you and formulate the right medication.

Recommendations

Do not hesitate to contact us and do not forget:
1. Use a mosquito net to avoid mosquito bites while you sleep.
2. Avoid sleeping outside the house.
3. Use of appropriate clothing: long sleeves and long pants, in transmission areas.
4. Use repellents, especially those containing DEET (Diethyl-toluamide).
5. In endemic areas, do not expose yourself to mosquito bites, especially in the early hours of the morning (5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.) and at night (5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.)
6. Avoid stagnant water tanks near the home.
7. If you have traveled in the last 15 days to endemic areas with active malaria transmission and have fever, chills, headache, and general discomfort, seek medical help to rule out infection.
8. Provide the medical personnel with the information requested about the origin, during the last 15 days, especially if you have been in areas with active transmission.
9. In case of being diagnosed with malaria, ingest the complete treatment.
10. Do not self-medicate.
