    I'm struggling to understand why this establishment has acquired so many 5 star reviews, unless paid for via fiverr etc. These people are seriously committed to relieving you from your cash and it would seem to be their No 1 priority. When I arrived there, I was ill and could hardly walk. My other half checked me in and paid their registration fee. I was put in a wheelchair and trundled to the lift to go to intensive care. When the lift doors opened, I expected to see a doctor waiting, but no. Instead, there was a lady with a portable visa 💳 terminal, who asked me for 5 million Pesos, deposito. I paid this of course and was admitted. On arrival I explained that I was diabetic but they didn't seem to take note. They performed all manner of tests and injected me with many drugs and potions. When my condition did not improve that much. More tests were performed. My other half's eldest is a head nurse at a flying doctors unit in Africa. They suggested that I might have ketoacidosis, the Hospital said that they were not investigating for that. 1 hour later they confirmed that indeed, I did have ketoacidosis. This was treated and I recovered. The nurses were fine, except when they used a catheter on me to obtain a urine sample. Even after I refused consent. The food in Perfect Body was disgusting and Not suitable for a diabetic. Sugary stuff, mashed potatoes and vile soups. My bill came to 1200 USD a day. 75 % of the cost was drugs and tests. Most of which were probably unnecessary. Edit. I originally thought that describing this part of my experience was too embarrassing to mention, but now think I have a duty to warn people of it. Whilst in this place, they wanted to take urine samples as would be expected. However, the second time they came to do it, they forced a catheter tube into me against my will. Despite demanding to speak to Dr 'Black' (The head doctor wears black medical attire) They held me down and continued with the procedure against my will. End of edit.. Other people in Santa Marta explained that the cost was outrageous by Colombian standards. I felt that I had been fleeced and the fact that they ignored my diabetes, even after moving out from the icu. This place sucks and I would advise giving it a wide berth. Other residents in Santa Marta have told me of similar horror stories as well. You have been warned.

    They don't answer their cell phone or chat, very bad for a clinic where you need urgent care.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent service, the human talent in that clinic is unmatched. The security, general services, administrative staff, doctors and nurses are exemplary people who offer dignified treatment and give confidence to the patient. Without a doubt, the other clinics and hospitals should take an example from this place. Whenever I can I will choose Perfect Body. (Original) Excelente servicio, el talento humano que hay en esa clínica es inigualable. Los de seguridad, servicios generales, cuerpo administrativo, médicos y enfermeras son personas ejemplares que ofrecen trato digno y dan confianza al paciente.

    Too slow, more than three hours waiting for results when I received care through ARL, I arrived at 7:30, it was 11:00 and no results and worse because the doctor on duty left and we had to wait for the other doctor who was delayed to go out to attend

  • 1/5 gauthier m. 1 year ago on Google
    I don't think they have real doctors. I went there because of immense pain in my foot, they did a X-Ray and told me it was good and I should just put ice on it. Did another exam 3 month later back home and turns out I had a fracture. I also went there for a throat infection, they did a lot of test to make me pay but not the one I asked for, gave me some random antibiotics, I got tested months later back home to find out that the infection was still there. Don't go there, you will lose time, money, and most likely you will get poor treatment.

    I was sick with an irritated and infected eye. I chose perfect body medical centre because they work with international insurance companies. The medical center is very professional, the service was excellent, and I was examined immediately. The doctor and the receptionists did not speak English very well, but they did a lot to communicate in a way so I could understand what they were saying (google translate etc.). I felt completely safe and taken good care of. Furthermore I was diagnosed correctly and are now feeling much better. I can recommend this place to all foreigners travelling in Santa Marts. Thank you very much Smilla

    I’m a US traveler and greatly appreciated the level of professionalism and care from this center. I have an ear infection and the doctor patiently translated everything in Google translate so I had all the information I needed. I felt very safe and comfortable.

    Might be the fastest and expensive clinic in Santa Marta, and might be your only and best option. But beware, they only want your money. They charge me extra for some studies that I did not actually need.

    I went in for a medical emergency. They did blood and urine test, gave me an IV. Comfort was pretty good: I had a bed, staff was nice, I was well taken care of. But my confidence in their ability to diagnose completely fell appart at the drugstore once I realised I was prescribed a HOMEOPATHIC medicine. Really?? Prescribing placebos to your patients? If you do this in Canada they revoke your licence. What a joke.

    For foreigners, don’t go there. I had an advanced ear infection after diving. First they made me do a deposit of 100 000 pesos for triage. Then they admited me and made me pay more 600 000 pesos. They made me some exams and gave me some anti-inflammatory via iv. Until here all good and they were super nice. Then they said i needed to pay 3 million pesos more, to stay overnight and give antibiotic via iv. I tried to work some alternative maybe go home and comeback to the clinic only for the treatment ( because i was feeling well to sleep at the Hostel ) or something cheaper and one doctor super rude said: either you pay the 3 million pesos or sign a volunteer leave form and go home without treatment. Paying 850€ to treat an otitis? They didn’t even helped me with Anything else, they just wanted my money. And kept a lot of it for doing nothing. Next day i went to the public hospital universitario Fernando Troconis, to the emergency part, after 4/5 hours i was ready to go, paid 70 000 pesos for the consult and 80 000 pesos for antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and something for the pain and now I’m well.

    Terrible experience, today was my second time at this clinic, the reception staff were slow and wasted hours trying to complete a simple task. The security discriminated against me for being a foreigner , i was asked to wait outside in the street while others walked in.

    The staff speaks a little bit English. I waited one and a half hour to see a doctor. The price is 100.000 to get a basic consultation. All other care is charged extra. Reception is slow but everything was ok.

  • 1/5 Jure S. 6 months ago on Google
    This is a hospital filled with thiefs. You might wonder why it has all 1-star and 5-star reviews? Because the 5-star reviews are fake. I am a European tourist and I had a lot of inflammation and pain in my ankle due to slipping on a rock. Simple rest and antibiotics in case of infection would do. They took an x-ray of my foot without any protective suit for my body. After specialist said I can go and just come tomorrow for a check up. Some lady told me I need to be hospitalized for three days. I refused and they made me sign bunch of documents. They did all kinds of test without telling me the results, which cost way more money that you would pay in Europe for tests like this. I left the place and ignored prescribed list of medicine and bought antibiotics doctor from home recommended. My foot was perfectly healed after two days of rest. They try to perform as many unnecessary test and try to hospitalize you to get as much money from insurance. None of them speak any english. Please go to any other hospital. There is plenty in Santa Marta. Don't give money to these thiefs in white jackets.

  • 2/5 Fizzy L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very long waiting times. I wasn't impressed by the casual "I don't care" attitude of the orthopedic doctor or front desk clerk. As a doctor, I was sadly disappointed in the way I was treated. I will not recommend this clinic to others. The ER doctor stitched me up badly, so now I have an unsightly scar. It was plastered (old-fashioned) instead of splinting, and as a result I now have difficulty regaining movement. However, I will recommend to the X-ray team and physiotherapy department that they were friendly and efficient. The receptionist on the 5th floor was very friendly and empathetic. I do not plan to visit again. Doctor Felicity Lillingston (Original) Muy largos tiempos de espera. No me impresionó la actitud casual de "no me importa" del médico ortopédico o recepcionista de recepción. Como médico, estaba tristemente decepcionado por la forma en que me trataron. No recomendaré esta clínica a otros. El médico de urgencias me suturó mal, así que ahora tengo una cicatriz antiestética. Estaba enyesado (a la antigua usanza) en lugar de entablillado y, como resultado, ahora tengo dificultades para recuperar el movimiento. Sin embargo, recomendaré al equipo de rayos X y al departamento de fisioterapia que fueron amables y eficientes. La recepcionista del piso 5 fue muy amable y empática. No planeo visitar de nuevo.

    I am from Argentina and I was in Santa Marta for tourism. Unfortunately I had a lot of abdominal pain. I say unlucky not only because it was a vacation but because I went to that place. More than 12 hours waiting for an ultrasound that was never done. I lost tickets and hotel reservations in another destination because they told me that in a few hours they would do the ultrasound. I believed them and waited. I rented a room to spend the night nearby, waiting for them to notify me by cell phone when the sonographer was going to be there. A message that did not arrive. I approached the clinic again and with all the lack of empathy they told me: "the ultrasound will not be able to come." Really a lack of ethics, commitment and enormous responsibility. I'm talking about an ultrasound, something super basic for a clinic they supposedly operate. Everything unpleasant.
