Mi Primer Pediatra, Dr. Alexander Barrios S.

My wife and I needed assistance for a 15 month old son while visiting Medellin. I cannot express how grateful I am to the doctor for coming to our apartment and treating our child like his own. He spent almost 45 minutes, just going through our child’s background and what we were experiencing at the time. He addressed our son‘s current condition, but also helped us understand our child’s past medical history and even discussed, our child’s continued nutrition. He then provided an examination of our son, but did not rush it. He made sure our child had his trust by making a balloon from one of his gloves and using toys to distract them from the examination. This is the way medicine should be performed.

An excellent pediatrician and a wonderful person. His support during and after appointments provides complete peace of mind regarding my children's growth. He is attentive and cares about every detail of their health and development. We also greatly appreciate his ability to listen and empathize with the family, understanding our concerns and addressing our worries at any time. I highly recommend him ♥️

I can't thank Dr. Alexander enough for all the support he's given us. For my husband and me, as first-time parents, he's been an enormous support since before our son was even born. He's an incredible professional, but above all, a very warm and empathetic person. He always takes the time to listen to us calmly, explain everything clearly, and answer every question without rushing, which is so important at this stage. Something that truly makes a difference is how attentive he is. Not only to the baby, but also to me as a mother. In my case, his support with breastfeeding has been key in preventing it from becoming an overwhelming process and allowing me to experience it with more peace of mind. Furthermore, he takes the necessary time at each appointment, answers all our questions, and, beyond that, follows up continuously, asking how we're doing day by day. That dedication and human warmth are invaluable. He truly is a pediatrician who is genuinely supportive. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any family looking not only for a great professional, but also for support on this journey.

Excellent pediatrician, he treats his patients with great love and dedication, explains everything very well, it has been an incredible experience for us as parents to find such good support during this stage, highly recommended.

Dr. Alex's approach is undoubtedly holistic, involving the father, who is often treated as a mere figurehead by other specialists. With him, I've been able to participate in my son's development, understand breastfeeding, and he has taken my opinion and perspective into account. Thank you so much, Doctor!
