Synced from Google. The clinic cannot edit or remove reviews here.Very good English speaking doc who is up to date with new research.
My father had a coloniscopy at the clinic and they discovered a cancer polip . He was treated by the doctor in outstanding way . They have an outstanding team of the doctors and nurses .
My wife had a colonoscopia and a complete checkup in the clinic some time ago. The clinic is outstanding with doctors and nurses taking complete care of her, explaning us all results and next steps to be done .
Was recommended to come here for an endoscopy and biopsy. The test went well, but I don't speak Spanish and the international department was almost no help at all. I had to claw my way to the test and in asking for the results, only to get biopsy results in Spanish with no explanation. When I asked to talk to the doctor about my results I was told he couldn't talk to me. I said I simply wanted to know if I have the disease I was tested for, and again told No. When I said I was worried about making myself sick I was told to visit the ER. The doctor was fine, but what good is the test if you aren't told what the results are?
The appointment service is very inconsistent. First, they gave us an appointment for the exam, which includes preparation, a colonoscopy, and a gastroscopy. Then they called and changed the appointment to another day. Confused, we went to the institute in person and were told that the original appointment was still on. What if we had kept the appointment from the phone call and already had the preparation done? Today, the 28th, at the institute, the woman told us the appointment was at 10:40 am, but the appointment document says 12:15 pm. We arrived at the time indicated on the appointment. There are too many deficiencies in the information. And the staff at the counter are very curt, unfriendly, and not very expressive. The person who caused all this confusion with these appointments is named Yeison Andres Vasquez. The staff needs very good training to provide this service; it is vital that the information is clear.
