Doctors and Dentists in Colombia

[DiscoverFL]

Facebook expatriate forums recommend Dr Marcel Hincapi of Oral Mas in Laureles. He speaks English but charges local rates. You can find them on Google Maps.

Sorry you asked for Bogota and I as an idiot replied for Medellíand, but maybe my info is useful for others.

Need a root canal done. Does anyone know a good dentist in Bogota? I'll be in Bogota in November and need to arrange this.

Thank you in advance for the recommendation.

Can someone recommend a dentist in Medellin? Just routine stuff. The names in the forum are old. I appreciate your help. Traveling in December.

Thanks.

I've used Clinica Artica. They're in Poblado area. They're a little more expensive than most places in the city but the office is nice and looks pretty new, and in a newer office building with a decent amount of security. They also speak English, which is another reason I went there. I can speak fluent Spanish, but when it comes to medical terms I want to be clear in English. And by a little more expensive I mean like maybe 60,000 COP more than other places, but that's really nothing for tourists. Look them up and message them on WhatsApp.

Earlier this year I was in San Diego and on a Friday evening I had some pain in a molar. I needed a root canal and a crown. Searched around for dentists in Tijuana open on weekends and decided on a dentist office called "I LOVE MY DENTIST" excellent work done in a day. About $750 USD.

What I was most impressed with is that they had Computer Modeling of Crown meaning they didn't have to stick that modeling clay in your mouth to get an impression, they just carefully scanned with a camera. Additionally when it came to final fitting which is the most tedious and critical part of the affair where usually you have to bite down on a piece of carbon paper, tell them if it feels right, they grind some more ad infinitum after you already spent several hours in the chair.

With the computer modeled crown, it fit perfectly on the first go. I was amazed and VERY impressed.

Anyhow I would love to hear if there are any dentists in Medellin that use this process.

Cheers!

Will be in MDE when I am due for my periodic STI check. Any recommendations on where to get it done. I wanted to get it done in Angeles once and the doc I went to told me they just proscribe antibiotics at any suspicion of infection. I prefer to get the lab tests (reliably) completed.

I would like more information about how you were able to sort out your health care.

I'm going to jump in with I've found recently. There are some people who live in the USA, but have their private health insurance in Colombia apparently. They only get emergency care in the USA. If they require anything else the visit Colombia http://caliadventurer.com/health-insurance-in-colombia/ Seems pretty smart. Probably way better than going to the VA.

Does he speak English?

Yes, but not too well, he is an excellent dentist.

Anyone have any recommendations on places to get veneers?

Anyone have first hand experience with this? I googled a few clinics and they are selling services under $1000/ eye. Supposedly a Colombian doctor that started it all.

Does anyone have a referral who has had first hand experience with a dentist in Cartagena who specifically does cosmetic dentistry?

Your kindness in sharing this referral will be greatly appreciated!

Dental Spa in Castillo Grande is a first rate dental clinic Dr Covo speaks English and I highly recommend him! They have a website with pricing.
