Top Hospitals in Panama City, Panama

Estacionamiento difícil

Bad experience in this hospital. I went there 2 times and the 2nd time I think the doctor didn't have a medical degree or should change profession! Even the woman who translated seemed to be more competent to treat me

I came here because I have an infection in my blood ( serious life or death situation) they did all the exams but refuse to give me any result until I pay. Then I got my result and it shows that I’m infected so the hospital say. “Pay for the bill at the emergency room first then we can admit you to the ICU” so I asked for the payment link but after 2 hours of waiting, never gotten one because it’s Friday and it’s busy in Panama.

The staffs are rude and all had attitude especially “Karen” and the patience experience guy.

I yell “help me” no one came to help me so I had to rip my IV off to go to the bathroom by myself. These nurses really care about their patients. (Sarcasm)

Avoid this hospital at all costs. A hospital that care more about money than the wellbeing of a human being is unethical. Even in the USA, you can be treated first and pay later.

And if your health isn’t good, don’t live in Panama.

My time at this clinic started out good but ended with total neglect from the doctor Dra Ashley carrillo is her name and i hope i never see her again unprofessional neglectfull unworthy too hold a Licences saying she is a doctor

Fui a urgencias porque me cayo cloro en un ojo, la atención en recepción fue muy rápida y eficiente, más pase 30 minutos en cubículo de urgencias y ningún doctor paso ni siquiera a verme el ojo, pregunté en 2 ocasiones sin resultado. Pedi que me dejaran salir y fui a otro centro medico ambulatorio donde me atendieron de inmediato y me hicieron un lavado. Pésimo sentido de urgencia por parte del equipo médico y de enfermería

Buenos doctores . Es un lugar muy limpio y cómodo

Buenas atención y buen servicios

Decepcionante y a la vez preocupante la pésima atención que se ofrece en este hospital, el polo opuesto a el pacifica salud original, especialistas de turno con poca experiencia y conocimientos. Personal administrativo intenso a la hora de cobrar y completamente relajados y despreocupados a la hora de hacer devoluciones, he ido en varias ocasiones debido a la cercanía de mi residencia con respecto a los verdaderos hospitales de la ciudad, pero mi última experiencia fue la ‘tapa del coco’. Definitivamente ultima vez ahí, recomiendo no asistir nunca a este hospital.

I am not understanding why Johns Hopkins (one of the best hospitals in the US) is afflilated with this hospital. Just had a family member discharged yesterday. A stroke patient gets put in a chair at 10 am and told that they can go home. The family is told it will take about 2 hours to complete the discharge process and prepare discharge papers, instructions, medications etc. 6 (six) hours later and still in the chair, they finally complete the process. During the patients 10 day stay, she developed a bed sore. No one checking for common things that happen with many patients. In order to tolerate the medication and get stronger, we were told she must eat her food. She is not able to feed herself (due to the temporary effects of the stroke). All of her meals are brought and left on the tray. She needs to drink water but no one brings water to her. No one in sight to assist (when family is not physically in the room). Uneaten food trays are removed and no one questions why the food is not eaten. Medication is prescribed without regard to side effects and other medications that conflict with each other. A medication is given that can cause STROKE. The medication causes her to be so out of it she can barely communicate or keep her eyes open. NOTE: Stroke did not affect her speech. Maybe a stoned patient is easier to care for. No one is held accountable. The list is very long....... For expats in Panama THIS IS NOT AN AMERICAN HOSPITAL. Although they claim to have English speaking staff, only the doctors spoke to us in English and a customer service rep who helps with the English speaking patients. There seems to be only 1 in the entire hospital at any given time. The staff who are hands on with the patients do not speak English and claim they do not have a phone to use Google translate. When a patient requests something it can take hours for someone to bring it or respond. It is nowhere near the care you would receive at a mediocre hospital in the US. Someone from the family should stay with the patient 24/7 in order to avoid the most basic of complications. The one thing I can say is that the room was clean when she arrived. Johns Hopkins needs to know about this! The professionalism of the staff is questionable. There are some very caring individuals that work there but they are terrified of losing their jobs so they don't complain. It is very expensive and not at all what we expected. The scary part is that this is the best available in the country of Panama.

Excelente 👌 servicio. Saludos

Its a good experience until you want to leave, the discharge of noon becomes 4 pm with non stop steps paperwork and delays, you can ask and ask and try to hurry it along but you are trapped, this part of the experience has been terrible

Sala de urgencias pediátricas de lo mejor en Panamá, tanto el personal administrativo, enfermeras y la atención de la Doctora Tania Vega en pediatría de urgencias no se la gana nadie, muy atenta, amable y con mucha vacación.

I had an appointment with a doctor for 3 pm. I arrived early. My condition wasn’t good, meaning waiting was going to be difficult.

I waited thirty minutes to see the doctor without anyone letting me know why he was running so late.

After a half an hour I left the hospital.

I have no complaint about the staff or the facilities. I was tired and frustrated with the lack of respect for patients’ time.

I'm writing about a doctor in ophthalmology clinic which is part of this hospital named Clinica de Retina y Vitreo

Dr. Edith Perez de Lopez is a fraudster who scams people out of their money.

I did an eye retina test at the Centro de Cirurgia Ocular and was told to see Dr. Edith Perez de Lopez who would explain what the results meant. When I went to the doctor and showed the results, stating that the lab had suggested she could explain their meaning, she sent me to do the test again. The exact same one. I did it and paid 200 dollars, and when I was paying, I saw that the test names were identical. I don't speak good Spanish and there was no English spoken there, so I went to another doctor and asked if these were the same tests. And he said Yes - these are the same tests! My husband went to the clinic and argued, but they pretended not to understand. Then they said the doctor had declared that tests conducted in another lab were invalid, they had to be done at their place. But Dr. Edith has an old machine for the eye retina test, while the lab where I got it done has all new equipment. So why does the Centro de Cirurgia Ocular lab recommend this doctor if the tests are invalid? My husband argued and said they were scamming people, and they returned us 100 dollars, even though they should have returned all the money. This Dr. Edith scammed me out of money and made me do the same tests. I will file a complaint with the hospital management, why do they need a fraudster like Edith who will ruin the hospital's reputation! Don't go to her, she makes you do tests you don't need! She deceives you!

Aunque la hospitalización fue excelente no puedo decir lo mismo para el área administrativa y es una lástima pero por este dolor de cabeza pienso que no volvería. Llevo dos semanas esperando las facturas de la emergencia para entregarlas a mi seguro y una semana de mi salida de la hospitalización para la devolución del depósito.
No responden correo ni teléfono.

Por fuera se ve decente pero por dentro parece hospital publicó, necesitan invertir en remodelan no todo puede ser ganancias, muy dejado en el olvido la parte estética. Aparte tienes que pagar estacionamientos, para nada recomendado mejor Panamá Clínica. Adicional no respetan el horario de las citas por lo que vas a pagar el extra del extra por el estacionamiento.

I was on vacation in Panama City and I fell in the shower. I needed stitches. However, my Spanish is very weak. As soon as they knew I was English-speaking, they assigned a customer service rep/interpreter to me. This was very helpful. The doctor was also bilingual. He explained the stitching procedure and told me everything I needed to know in terms of taking care of the wound. While they are pricey, the price was worth the rendered service. I would imagine this is not an ideal facility for locals who have low income. If I am every injured in this city again, I know where to go. Thank you Punta Pacifica!

Do not come here for an emergency if you really want to get treated/cured. You only will be getting a bad service, a bandaid and they will let you go just for you to come over and over to pay for the 70$ each time you come with the same problem. It is more a business than health care. My son had a viral cough that lead into a conjunctivitis and I explain to the doctor all the symptoms. They only treated and recipe for the eyes. 3 Days later my son was worse than before, we went again for the emergency to explain why they just give us a medicine for the eye since we explained all the previous symptoms. Their answer was that they only will treat him if we paid 70$ again. We wanted to talk with the same doctor, just talk to see why she didn't gave us more indications o what to do next if my son didn't respond as she thought, she never show her face, instead they send us a bunch of administrative persons, kept us there for more than 2 hours just to say that the doctor wont come outside to talk and even acknowledging that she only treat the conjuntivitis. We went to another little medical center near by and my son got a complete treatment and got cured some days after, paying a fraction and also getting attended by nicer people. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

My son ending inpatient and all the paper work from ER to the room took an eternity and was 12am midnight we were so tired.
Then when finally arrived in the room the Temperature were so low that we were frozen, the sofa bed for the visit sleep in this case me the father of the patient is so tiny that my feet are on the air, and is so narrow that you can’t really sleep there, the exit of the air conditioner in the room is so so noisy that not help you to sleep, and the roller are transparent so after not sleep more than 2 hours at 5am your rooms is bright for the light of the street the sunrise. In conclusion the room is not confortable at all neither for the patient or his (her) family who stay to sleep with him (her)
But in term of medical attention, technology and equipment the hospital is pretty update with last generation of everything.

I wanted to write a review about Dr. Maria Alejandra Diaz, who is a vascular surgeon with the CardioVasc care group of the Johns Hopkins affiliated Punta Pacifica Hospital in downtown Panama City. I was vacationing in Panama when I suddenly got what turned out to be a DVT, a 4” life threatening clot in my leg. Dr. Diaz saw me almost immediately based on my symptoms and had me diagnosed with her state-of-the-art color doppler ultrasound machine in ten minutes. From there, she started me on the appropriate course of blood thinners (confirmed by my PCP back home), and stayed in close touch with me for the next two weeks until she cleared me with another ultrasound to fly back home. Dr. Diaz was intelligent in answering my many questions and concerns, and I feel very lucky to have landed in her good care while in Panama. I highly recommend her and the CardioVasc team without hesitation.

He visitado el cuarto de urgencias en 3 ocasiones. En la última visita debo decir que fue decepcionante. No hubo buena atención por parte del personal de enfermería. Se nota la diferencia de atención en los diferentes turnos. Mi segunda visita fue excelente y decidí regresar en caso de tener otra urgencia, pero no creo que regrese. Descuido del paciente, comparado con la visita atención. El medicamento via intravenosa terminó y nunca fueron a ver a mi hija hasta que nos dieron salida. El personal administrativo siempre indica que por convenios con la asegurada hay servicios que debe cobrar antes y después reembolsan o hay posibilidad de que me llamen para cobrarme. ¿Por qué no se reunen y determinan qué pruebas se incluyen en el copago por urgencias para no poner al paciente en esta situación tan desagradable.

no cumplen los horarios de las citas, es muy incomodo porque uno programa su día en base a la cita, deben avisar con tiempo si no pueden cumplir el horario de las citas.

In the heart of Panama City, Panama Clinic has an impressive building that houses multiple specialties. With the latest technology, both medical and infrastructure.

Spacious parking lots, well lit, very well marked and safe. State-of-the-art and fast elevators.

I have not needed hospital services but from what I have seen, they are very complete.

Bad service, I called the service phone number and selected English service, but nobody speaked English and the person who answered my call felt no patient for me and didn't know anything about the medical procedure.

Mi niña de 5 años fue operada en este hospital y estoy muy agradecida con la atención de todo el personal. Cada sugerencia dada fue tomada en cuenta y al darle de alta le dieron un hermoso presente 🎁 para que no tenga miedo al hospital lo cual me parece una gran iniciativa gracias por todo.😊

Muy buen lugar pero muchos carros allá. Eso no está bien. Gracias

I went to this hospital to get my gallbladder removed and it was the best experience I had. The staff and the doctors are very helpful and friendly. Good follow up after surgery as well. Highly recommended!👌🏽

For a senior person, is a great facility. ER staff is outstanding. Equipment is new and modern. Location is very centric and safe, in Paitilla area, with hotels and modern malls surrounding. Transportation to that area is easy. Prices are very competitive, with a A+ service. There is an initial deposit of $500 at ER entrance, which is returned if you do not use it. Local medical insurance are accepted, unless you have an international one. No medicare. Credit cards accepted.

Here with young child in urgent care for over three hours now. No one checking in with us. They are quick to take your billing information. That’s about it. Facilities seem nice. The service is mediocre. Not recommending the urgent/emergency care. It is anything but urgent.

Don't go here for covid testing. We paid online for the rapid test, was told we'd get results back in 30 minutes, and it's 2 days later and we never received anything. The nurse didn't confirm our birthdays, didn't verify our names, just glanced at our receipts and shoved the thing in our nose so unnecessarily far. I guess Panama nurses don't know that it's completely unnecessary to stick the swab in that far, you get the same results in the front of the nose too. Pretty sure the rude nurse just threw our tests away and never submitted them to the lab. Absolutely unprofessional and ridiculous.

This happened today Apr 8 2021. The staff named V, sent me to wait outside while leaving these 4 people chit chatting for more than 15 minutes and he did not say a word to any of them. Yes I surely had a terrible bad experience and waste of time not only because he switched turns 1 2 3 to 1 3 2. Guess what, we had turn #2.

Super chevere

Excellent hospital! The care taken here is second to none. The staff is not all fully billingual but you will definitely get the best and latest in care here. Rooms are nice and staff is always helpful.
