Testimonials

Excellent service. During our last trip to Medellín, my husband began experiencing unbearable pain and I booked their services. The response was fast and efficient — in less than 2 hours, Dr. Susan was at our home attending to my husband. She was very professional, caring, and highly knowledgeable. I definitely recommend them with all the stars possible. Thank you so much, Dr. Susan — we are truly grateful for everything you did for us.

The day after I arrived, I had a severe sore throat ,so strong I couldn’t eat. I used the virtual service and spoke with a doctor via video call. She was very kind, explained my symptoms, I sent her some photos, and she gave me a treatment. After the appointment, I still had some questions and concerns, and she replied through chat and provided a treatment plan for something additional. I am very grateful for her responsiveness, kindness, and patience — which is so comforting when you are in another country. I definitely recommend this service! Thank you!
