For expats and foreigners: if you need to go to a clinic I would recommend this place ONLY if you get them to refer you to a private practice doctor. Otherwise go to Clinica Medellin. Here I was charged 4X more for the same thing and it took 4 hours for a simple visit during the middle of the night when no one was there. I felt like they relegated me to a room far off so they didn’t have to deal with the foreigner. I refused an IV of meds and they still tried to charge me for it because it was prepared, even though I was not notified first. The woman at the front told me a simple visit usually costs $100,000 pesos but my bill came to over $400,000 for something that amounts to the stomach flu
Update:
I found a doctor on the web that has his private office that speaks good English and whom I can recommend after he treated me: Dr. Mauricio Alvarado Vasquez, located in Fase 1, room 320. Only negative: He did not want to give me a note for my employer at home even though I clearly wasn't able to work room for improvement.

Not good if you don't speak Spanish. Even the hospital manager came to see me but nobody spoke English. The analysis consisted of the doc using her smartphone flash light to look into my throat. She then quickly deducted that I have a bacterial infection. My really bad cough did not make listen to my lungs or anything else. They did however use modern equipment to test my blood pressure and heartbeat and also took my temperature which I had just pushed down over night.
They ended up administering a one-time shot of penicillin and pain killers and had me buy what I think is cough syrup and more pain killers for the following 5 days. The
Cost: 150k COP for the hospital and
3 days into the treatment I am ready to go to another doctor still have the same symptoms as before.
Maybe something was lost in translation but since I had others translate the instructions I rather feel the hospital does not play in the same league as what I am used to from Europe :(
I walked in with a stomach ache on a Saturday. Not an emergency. The paged a doctor at his house, and he showed up within 90 minutes. It was 100 Mil COP or $33 US dollars, and my antibiotics meds was about $30 US Dollars. Was very impressed how easy the whole process was.
Buenas personas pero lamentablemente no todas son buenas, como un tal "Stephany" asistente del doctor Fabio Alberto Maya Aristizabal. Lo peor de lo peor asco de persona elitista y sin vocación de servicio
Servicio muy amable. Cuentan con una gran cantidad de servicio. No hay que trasladarse por exámenes u otros. Una clínica muy completa
De las mejores clínicas del país. Atención impecable. Instalaciones de vanguardia y especialistas de talla mundial.
llamé a la oficina de atención al usuario para solicitar información y la señora que habló fue muy cordial, considerada y me dió la información que solicité, estoy muy agradecida porque soy de otra ciudad.
Buena atención, buenas instalaciones y buena ubicación. Me atendieron muy bien en urgencias, aunque a veces parece que se congestiona.
Very good
Good
