What patients say about ABC Medical Center (Observatorio and Santa Fe)
“My care in ER was efficient, caring and appropriate. Lilliana and Mezil in Er were so caring and great communicators.”
“Pésimo hospital, pésimos doctores, te dan diagnósticos equivocados, lo único que les interesa es ingresarte a hospitalización y hacer todo tipo de.estudios para que pague el seguro”
Translation: Terrible hospital, terrible doctors; they give you incorrect diagnoses. All they care about is admitting you to the hospital and doing all kinds of tests so the insurance will pay.
“Son una bola de rateros a mi sobrina la internaron argumentando que tenía baja la oxigenación la consulta solo la consulta 3200 pesos , la estadía de un día casi 80 mil”
Translation: They are a bunch of thieves. They admitted my niece claiming her oxygen level was low; the consultation alone was 3,200 pesos, and one day’s stay was almost 80,000.
“Es la reseña solamente de consulta ABC que ofrece unidad de urgencias. Allí atienden los estudiantes que no tienen ni idea. No vale la pena ir porque al final siempre terminas con tu médico especialista.”
Translation: This review is only about an ABC consultation at its emergency unit. Students who have no idea what they are doing treat patients there. It is not worth going because in the end you always end up with your specialist.
“Sin control de los medicos y doctores, todos cobran muy por arriba de los tabuladores de los seguros sin previo aviso a los familiares ni a los pacientes.”
Translation: There is no oversight of the doctors; they all charge far above insurance rates without giving prior notice to family members or patients.
“I have always had the support of the entire team: my nutritionist, psychologist, sports medicine specialist, and the support group.”
