The independent guide to medical care in Medellín — verified in person.
Thousands of North Americans fly to Latin America for medical care every month, choosing clinics from websites no one has checked. We do the checking: every practitioner verified against Colombian government registries, every clinic visited by us, every interview on film. Medellín first — Panama, Costa Rica, and Mexico next.

Verification is the product
Independent estimates suggest 20–30% of cosmetic procedures in Medellín happen outside accredited settings. So before anyone appears in this guide, we check them ourselves. A checked profile means all four of these:
✓ Practitioner found in ReTHUS
✓ Clinic / service checked in REPS
✓ Facility visited in person
✓ Information last checked — date shown on every profile
Each country we expand to gets the same treatment through its own registries. Listings still being checked are marked pending — never hidden, never assumed.
No "top 10" lists. Ever.
Ranking surgeons like restaurants requires evidence nobody has. So we don't do it. We publish who we researched, what we verified, what things cost, and what practitioners said on camera — and you compare on facts. If a clinic ever pays for placement, it will say so, plainly, on the page.
Clinics we researched
Not "the best" — the ones we've actually walked through and checked.
Compare on facts
Credentials, prices, languages, accreditations, aftercare — side by side.
Sponsored means sponsored
Any commercial relationship is labeled where you can see it.
Researched by someone who lives here
The guide is researched and hosted by its founder — a Canadian who moved to Medellín, owns a home here, and visits every clinic in person. Watch the interviews, see the facilities, and judge the people for yourself.
