"The worst clinic in the city, don't miss the opportunity to be treated here, both in emergencies and in appointments are outrageous, lack of empathy and professionalism towards patients."

Sandra Montes
· July 11, 2026

"The patient arrives 10 minutes late and misses their appointment, but when you have an appointment at 8:30 and you're seen at 9:50 because "the doctor is running late," nothing happens; zero respect for the patient's time."

Pablo Aristizabal

"For your mental health, NEVER come here. You'll leave feeling worse. If you're not dying, don't come. And if you are dying, you're better off looking somewhere else. I wasted a day of my life in the ER waiting to be admitted because the receptionist didn't know how to enter information into the system and the rest of the staff didn't care about your time."

María Paula Vásquez León

"Excellent service, orthopedic emergency care, and treatment for fractures. Pediatric care and general emergencies are provided. The infrastructure is old in the city, but the equipment is modern, the staff is highly qualified, and the facility is maintained with high-quality hygiene."

"The wait in triage is inhumane; there are people waiting for hours just to be classified. As healthcare workers, this is inconceivable."

Valen Avila
· February 25, 2026

"The human treatment is excellent, at least from the emergency room onwards; that has been my experience. It takes anywhere from 3 to 10 hours to get into triage, but once inside they do everything to help you."
