Patient Stories

Real Patients. Real Results.

Thousands of international patients have chosen Panama for their medical care. Here's what some of them have to say.

★★★★★
This article describes my experience almost exactly. 63 years old, Ohio, quoted $40k in the US. Did it at Punta Pacífica for $13,500 all-in. Zero regrets. The PT they arranged at the hospital was better than what I got back home.
★★★★★
Gastric sleeve at Hospital Nacional. Surgeon was fantastic and spoke excellent English. The nursing staff were attentive. I flew home on day 5 with no issues. Down 68 lbs so far at 4 months post-op. Total cost was $7,800 including all hospital fees.
★★★★★
Flew from Toronto, 3 implants and 6 crowns. Saved over $14,000 CAD. The clinic was spotless and the dentist spoke perfect English. Took about 4 days total. Would do it again.
