"We came to this hospital/medical offices for my wifes bypass, this is a building which has everything for your medical needs including the 2 tall white buildings across the street. This place was recommended by our other doctor who had performed other surguries on my wife and on various websites. We can only say that the entire process has been flawless and we'd never imagined such incredible care not even stateside.....We love this city and how it has treated us during various visits.."

"I had plastic surgery done by Dr. Saldarriaga. I have felt NO pain during my quick recovery. He must have the most gentle hands guided by angels. The entire staff is amazingly professional and caring. From reception to nurses and surgery, this has been the most pleasant encounter I've ever had in a clinic. Highly recommend. Thank you."

"I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this clinic. Rude service. The intake staff were dismissive and unprofessional when I asked questions. I have lived in Colombia for five years and I do speak Spanish, but I do not understand all medical terminology. Instead of being patient and helpful, they were rude. Outrageous prices. I was quoted one million pesos for an urgent care visit, when I can have a doctor come to my home within two hours for about 20% of that cost. Excessive wait time. After completing intake, I waited an hour and a half in the lobby and was never seen by a doctor. I can’t accept paying for a service that treats me poorly, overcharges, and then doesn’t even provide the service. Because of this, I left. Very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this clinic to anyone. READ THE REVIEWS AND BELIEVE THEM!"
