CONSULTORIO WILLMAN ALFONSO - GINECOLOGO Y OBSTETRA.

An excellent professional, with great interpersonal skills and empathy. He answered all my questions clearly and provided very professional and dedicated service.

I thought very carefully before writing this review and I hope to do so as objectively as possible. Finding an obstetrician-gynecologist is not an easy task, especially for first-time parents like us, which is why reviews are helpful. Wilman is a professional who takes the time to clarify all doubts; he's someone you can talk to about any concern without a problem. However, in our experience, he relies too much on his own judgment (I'm not talking about a medical opinion, but rather his opinions based on his experience): in our case, he told us eight days before the actual start of labor that our baby was about to be born, even though my wife had no symptoms whatsoever. He recommended (again, without any medical restrictions to justify this) that my wife go to the emergency room to begin labor. At that time, my wife was 38 weeks pregnant (still two weeks away from the 40-week limit Wilman had told us about). Since we refused (because we wanted the most natural birth possible, given the lack of medical restrictions), communication was via WhatsApp, but he didn't show up on the day of the delivery. The problem wasn't his absence, because no one is immune to unforeseen circumstances, as he told me was the reason for not attending the birth. The reprehensible thing is that in previous appointments, I asked him what we would do if this happened and he couldn't be there. He replied that it wouldn't happen, that it had only happened to him once, and that if it did, he would send another professional. On the day of the delivery, he couldn't attend, nor did he send anyone, and our baby's birth was attended by the on-duty doctors in the emergency room (Clínica del Prado). Something we specifically wanted to avoid, since the idea was that, given our Supplemental Health Plan, the same doctor who attended my wife during her pregnancy would also attend her delivery. Our supposed "privilege" of having Supplemental Health Plan was not there, as throughout the entire process we were treated as if we only had the Basic Health Plan. Furthermore, and this is what hurt me most about their lack of assistance, is that during the delivery, the doctor on duty performed the Kristeller maneuver (discouraged by the WHO) without justification, without waiting for my wife to continue pushing (which she was doing well because we could already see our baby's hair), putting the health of both my wife and baby at risk. I am not blaming Wilman for these situations, but I am reflecting on what can happen when you rely too much on your own judgment, don't wait for the natural timing of labor (up to 40 weeks), and don't plan for the scenarios a pregnant woman might face. I hope this review is helpful to someone, and please, if you don't have any medical restrictions, don't allow it. They should be admitted to the clinic early, because most cases end in a cesarean section. Don't let them perform these procedures on you, and complain, even if they're doctors, because unfortunately, the treatment is anything but humane (the Humanized Childbirth Law isn't a fad, as Wilman told me during a check-up; we experience obstetric violence firsthand. It's just that those who work privately or through the Complementary Plan don't experience what it's like day-to-day in a hospital emergency room and what women have to endure).

Thank you for being such a compassionate doctor, for listening attentively and empathetically to your patients' concerns, and for providing solutions with such professionalism. I felt very supported throughout this entire process, and that makes a huge difference. I left the appointment feeling much calmer and confident that I was in very good hands. Without a doubt, an excellent professional and a wonderful person. Thank you.
