"Dr. Kate provides excellent medical care. She is highly professional, punctual, and attentive. Her diagnosis was accurate and clearly explained, which immediately reassured us. The treatment was effective, and we felt confident throughout the consultation. I highly recommend Dr. Kate for her expertise and quality of service."

"Dr Kate got a detailed history, examined me and took bloods after arriving with an impressive array of medical equipment. She was friendly, very thorough and professional explaining everything as she went along. She arranged for the relevant meds to be delivered to our hotel room as I was too unwell to collect them. Dr Kate and her colleagues checked in on me by WhatsApp in the subsequent days before my flight home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend AGMS."

"I had the unfortunate experience of a severe strike of gastroenteritis that had to be taken care of by a doctor. I found Advanced Global Medical Service on Google maps. I called them and spoke with Jerry who was very reassuring and comforting. Easy communication by whatsapp and e-mail. Dr Kate came to our hotel with 4-5 suitcases, got the history, took blood pressure, fever etc and the gave medicine, advise and prescription for the rest of the days. Very comforting and reassuring also. Very well organized service, gave also all paperwork for insurance company. Capetown just got another + on my list when I know that such a service exists when I visit. I wish services like this could be available in other countries! A big thank you!"

"I was seen by Dr. Obi at the Queen Victoria Hotel for an upper respiratory infection of at least ten days duration. She was professional, and thorough. After a doing a complete history she did an appropriate physical examination, explained her findings and recommended treatment. Medications were delivered to me. I am recovering nicely. I would not hesitate to see her again if needed."

"I needed a doctor to come and visit me on my vacation, because I was sick. I heard from AGMS from a friend. The WhatsApp communication is super easy and they answer quick. I got visited by Dr. Gemma. She is an amazing doctor, very caring, is taking everything serious and just super kind! I‘m so happy I got her help. Thank you so much. I can only recommend the service. They are very transparent about the costs (you will get an idea of it in advance) it’s not too pricey and it’s absolutely worth it!"

"Some will have a different experience depending on the doctor and nurses, but I was really impressed with my care. Reception through the emergency entrance were efficient and pleasant. The maternity ward was really lovely, great midwifes and nice food. The facility/rooms also felt comfortable, even if not the most updated, but I sort of liked that. Thank you for my care."
