Yesterday, I went with Dr. Sussan and her daughter, Sofia, to visit friends at Optica Lopez. Dr Sussan used to be the doctor you would see, if you went to have your vision checked. It was on one such a visit, that I got to meet this group of young ladies, excluding Martha.
Optica Lopez was [...]

I am often asked about the medical capability in David. I thought I would pass this on, even though it isn’t an experience, I have had directly.
Yesterday, I accompanied a patient to Hospital Chiriquí to have surgery to correct a hernia. The surgeon’s name was Dr. Felix Lámbiz Garay and he offices at Hospital Chiriquí. [...]

I decided it would be smart to go see the doctor about my sunburn. While it is better than it was, I knew that it still needed some more attention. I went to Dra. Keyla Miranda de Arias. This is the second time I have seen her and I have a lot of confidence [...]

If you are fortunate enough to get by Optica Lopez this morning, then you will be able to see Dr. Sussan. She will be there for four hours only. I would have notified you sooner, but I just learned that she would be working today.

It is never a good sign when I am continually posting new doctors, because that means I have recently seen them. Saturday I saw Dra. Keyla Miranda de Arias. Her specialty is dermatology. Being light skinned, as I am, makes me susceptible to having sun related skin problems. I have had a skin cancer removed [...]

My glasses needed a slight adjustment and a cleaning so I went to Optica López today. I happened to be there when the Owner, Oscar López, was there and I got to meet him. I took a photo of Oscar with his David staff.
Carla did an outstanding job on my glasses and after the cleaning [...]

As you may remember, I have been having a problem with my ear. I went to one doctor several times, but the problem always seemed to come back. I decided I needed a second opinion, so today I went to Dr. Alvaro Candanedo M. His office is in Clinica Hospital Chiriqui. I was impressed with [...]

I know when I started thinking about coming to Panama, one of my concerns was if I could get quality healthcare. I am happy to say that the care I have been given far exceeds what I had hoped for and in many regards causes the care I had in the US to pale in [...]

I happened to find this URL today while trying to find a doctor’s telephone number in Hospital Chiriqui. I am sure this isn’t a complete list, but it had the doctor’s number that I wanted and I thought it might be of benefit to others.
I added it to the Panama Miscellaneous Link list. Panama Doctor’s [...]
