Médico Express revolutionises digestive care in the Dominican Republic with its new state-of-the-art gastroenterology unit

• Médico Express has opened its Gastroenterology Unit, led by Dr Rosa U. Uribe, with specialist consultations and state-of-the-art endoscopic procedures.

San Isidro, Santo Domingo Este: The Médico Express centre is proud to announce the opening of its advanced Gastroenterology Unit, led by the distinguished Dr Rosa U. Uribe, a specialist in gastroenterology and endoscopy. This new unit represents a decisive step forward in digestive care in the country, offering local and international patients first-rate care, backed by state-of-the-art technology and a highly competent medical team.

The Gastroenterology Unit is designed to provide a comprehensive service, following clear protocols, in a modern and safe environment where personalised care and precision are the priorities. In this unit, patients have access to specialist consultations for adults and children, covering hepatology, neurogastroenterology and the management of inflammatory bowel disease, all carried out to the strictest international standards.

Among the services on offer are specialist consultations and subspecialties. The unit offers consultations in specialist areas such as hepatology and paediatric gastroenterology, where each case is assessed individually and with a comprehensive approach. This model means patients can be referred to subspecialists according to their diagnosis, ensuring treatment tailored to each person’s specific needs. The unit also has experts and specific programmes for monitoring conditions such as hepatic steatosis, inflammatory diseases and neurogastrointestinal conditions including motility disorders.

Advanced endoscopic procedures: equipped with the latest endoscopy technology, the specialists at Médico Express carry out both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including endoscopies and colonoscopies. The unit is prepared to carry out complex procedures, such as stent placement, mucosectomies and advanced oesophageal dilations, guaranteeing precision and comfort for the patient.

Gastric balloon placement with multidisciplinary support: The unit offers gastric balloon placement as a treatment for obesity, a procedure increasingly in demand internationally. Médico Express goes beyond the procedure itself, providing ongoing support from a multidisciplinary team that includes nutritionists and psychologists to accompany the patient in adopting healthy habits and to ensure long-term success.

High-level safety and disinfection protocols. Médico Express maintains rigorous processes for cleaning and disinfecting equipment, supervised by its quality department. These protocols ensure that every procedure meets the highest standards of hygiene and safety, minimising any risk to the patient.
