I suddenly developed a hernia while on a 6 week trip in Medellin - we were due to move on to a remote island after this, so I had to get it fixed asap. I don't speak Spanish so was extremely relieved to find Dr Botero who spoke very good English! He managed to fit me in immediately, explained all my options clearly and his aftercare was also superb. The nursing staff at the clinic where I underwent my surgery were all very friendly and reassuring. I'm writing this review 7 weeks post surgery and am back training for my marathon without any problems. Thank you Dr Botero!
