We have heard that Bella Vista if also good, maybe better. Jeff had a "virtual" colonoscopy. We haven't needed any surgeries so we don't know if they do a lot of stuff laproscopically or not but they seem to know what to do and lab tests seem up to snuff. I agree with you that they take time and really do things. I fought to try to get a bone density screening in the states since I am thin, have no kids and near 50 and never got one. Here - one of the first things they did along with a full blood panel! I won't be flying out for medical care unless I require brain or back surgery or something and maybe not even then! katrinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201778738606227644.post-40132343964271951452009-03-18T14:13:00.000-04:002009-03-18T14:13:00.000-04:00Oh & I should have added that the service was ...Oh & I should have added that the service was good too. I fell like atleast where i live in Philly the Doctors rush you so much & they dont care. Its like they never believe you the first visit. Its always oh well come back if it doesnt go away. Hello! Thats why I am here in the first place. <BR/><BR/>But in PR from what I experienced the doctors try to find the problem and fix it the first visit. The only thing I see as a downside is that the offices are usually older & not updated. Sometimes the technology isnt up to date also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201778738606227644.post-45954643997889178482009-03-16T14:13:00.000-04:002009-03-16T14:13:00.000-04:00You know I have heard some people talk so bad abou...You know I have heard some people talk so bad about Dr.s appointments in PR too, but I also have been way happier. (i dont live in PR but I have family there & stay for a while sometimes). I just figured since we go to the central area maybe things are less crowded therefore better.<BR/><BR/>Once my son who was 2 years old got a fever & we called the Doctor they told us to come right in. It was $25 for the apt. with no insurance. WOW! in Philly that would have been atleast $65 probably more for pediatric. Then he had to get tested for Dengue so they told us to go to the lab down the street & they tested his blood for $10. We went back to the doctor an hour later, he said it was a bacterial infection & he gave us a prescription (which cost $8 at the pharmacy) he also gave us a whole carton (12 bottles) of panadol (childrens tylenol) for free! He also told us emergency room visits in the hospital cost $50. That blew my mind. I have a $2,000 ER bill from years ago that I am still trying to payAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
