"Amazing experience. I am a foreigner and traveler concerned of health and visiting Doc in foreign countries but this hospital completely took my anxicious away. I made a appointment to Ginacoligy department by phone with spanish speaking friend help but after that, I could ask for translater by email (no fee) and was able to visit Doc on my own. The consultation for me was 1700 peso but they did all the tegistration and gave me a hospital card so i wont need to do that next time. Very helpful receptionist spoke spanish very slow for me and the Doc was very smily and kind. translator was also amazing. came on time and assisted me well. I had great experience better than back home in the US. Thank you"

"Those who rated this place poorly must be psychiatric patients. On each of my two visits i received extremely kind, cheerful, and genuine service, qualified and thorough care, and never waited more than 20 minutes to see a doctor. I found the quality, service and cost quite remarkable."

"We're here now and we've had a wonderful experience. Remember with all these negative reviews that you're more likely to leave a review if you're upset, and less likely to leave a nice review if you're satisfied, like this one. We're foreigners on vacation here. We were treated fairly and promptly. We were able to speak English to two staff members during our time here. I guess I won't go into our personal medical records, but expect to pay around $50 USD (September 2022) for your initial consultation. The prices have been fair and reasonable. The staff was kind and helpful. Everyone did their best to make us comfortable and helped us understand what was going on."

"70 bucks for consultation for severe nerve pain in my shoulder Lady looked at me for 10 seconds. Touched my shoulder once, and then said “we can’t help you, but can refer you to specialist” Like how is that worth 70 bucks."
