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 [...]

I received this following email today. I don´t know the answer, but maybe someone else does.
Don,
My wife and I are interested in visiting your area and doing some medical volunteering at the same time. I’m a chiropractor and family nurse practitioner and she is a medical assistant. Do you know any NGOs, clinics or [...]

I have had a couple emails lately about putting something in about pets. Being a big pet fan, I guess the only reason I haven’t done that is because I have been without a dog for the last three years. In fact I think that is the longest I have ever not had a dog [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I stopped into Óptica Lopez today to get my glasses adjusted and thought I would pass on a little news. If you are in need of an eye exam, you better get it taken care of this month. You see, Doctor Susan is going to take a leave of absence soon because of a special [...]

On my trip to the US last month, I developed an ear infection. I think it was the change in temperature and the use central heating dried out my sinuses. Whatever the reason, I knew that I had to get it taken care of before I had to get on a plane again, because of [...]
