Hospital Paitilla

"I went to this hospital to get my gallbladder removed and it was the best experience I had. The staff and the doctors are very helpful and friendly. Good follow up after surgery as well. Highly recommended!👌🏽"

"Excellent experience. I was treated through my international insurance without being asked for any deposit, unlike in Punta Pacifica. It’s the only hospital in Panama that truly knows how to work with expats. Top-quality medical care — my wife and I highly recommend it. Hospitalization, emergency services, and surgery are 100% reliable."

"“Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Neal Samson” I had a severe flare-up of herniated discs and sciatica that left me barely able to move. Within less than a day under Dr. Neal Samson’s care at Clínica Panamá, I walked out feeling like a completely new man — pain-free for the first time in years. Dr. Samson is not only the most professional orthopedic surgeon I’ve ever met, but also incredibly compassionate. He spoke perfect English, took his time to review my long history of football-related injuries, and made me feel fully understood. The anesthesiologist and nursing staff were equally outstanding — attentive, skilled, and truly caring. If you are in Panama City and need an orthopedic or sports injury specialist, Dr. Samson is simply the best of the best."

"I visited the clinic on the 9th of January. I paid the deposit of $300 but the doctors were not able to help. The reception said they would refund me. I went back the next day when I hadn’t received it and said that it would be with me in 2 weeks. I contacted the bank and they said the money was being held by the hospital. I have tried contacting them multiple times, a lot of the times I was unbelievable to get through on the phone. Be careful paying a deposit before you know they can help you!! As I do not know if I will be able to get this money back now as the communication is so poor."

"My husband received emergency care for an intestinal obstruction at Panamá Clinic after being evacuated by ambulance from a ship in Colon. We are extremely grateful for the skill and kindness of Dr Duran, who performed emergency surgery shortly after arrival. His prompt care and skill saved my husband’s life. Dr Duran oversaw my husband’s care and communicated with me through WhatsApp to keep me informed, also visiting my husband several times a day during his six day stay. The ICU doctor was extraordinary too, even intervening to ensure I was safely lodged at the adjacent hotel. Staff members were top notch, patient and alert to the needs of my spouse. We are very grateful for the staff of this modern and well equipped hospital."
