Common Services
Food Poisoning
Bogotá offers a rich variety of dining experiences, but sometimes, food-related issues can arise. Whether from a new dish or unfamiliar ingredients, food poisoning can strike unexpectedly. Symptoms include abdominal cramps, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. Our experienced doctors are skilled in treating food poisoning and will help you feel better quickly, so you can get back to enjoying the vibrant city and continue your travels with ease.
Allergies
Bogotá’s unique mix of mountains, restaurants, and biodiversity can sometimes trigger allergies, especially for newcomers. Whether it’s due to pollution, insect bites, food, dust, or seasonal allergens, symptoms may include sneezing, itchy or runny nose, swollen eyes, tingling in the mouth, coughing, or rashes. Our doctors are here to diagnose and create a personalized treatment plan to help you get back to feeling your best in no time.
Elevation Sickness
At 2,600 meters (about 8,530 feet) above sea level, Bogotá is higher than many cities in the U.S. and Europe. While the city’s stunning views and “closer to the stars” slogan are beautiful, the high altitude can sometimes cause discomfort. Symptoms of elevation sickness include headaches, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, and dizziness. If you’re feeling the effects of Bogotá’s altitude, our medical team can provide prompt treatment to help you recover and acclimate quickly.
Comprehensive Primary Care for Adults and Children of All Ages
At DoctorsForExpats, we’re dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care to both adults and children of all ages. We prioritize human connection and continually update our medical expertise to ensure that we meet your healthcare needs with the most current knowledge and practices. As your trusted healthcare partner in Bogotá, we offer a wide range of services tailored to the expat community and beyond.
Feedback From Our Patients:
Sarah Howard2025-08-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service! Highly recommend. I am traveling from Australia and ended up quite unwell, with 6 weeks more travel I wanted to see a doctor asap and from my first message Hernan was fantastic! The doctor was also very good! The follow up support to ensure I was able to get the medication after my consult was unexpected, but really comforting. THANK YOU! Michael Grimes2025-08-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were a pleasure to work with. Hernan was very thorough with my paperwork and my time. There was actually a mistake on my part with the paperwork. And it was no problem for them to help me and fix the paperwork (which was my error not theirs) highly recommend them.

The whole process was easy, professional, and affordable. The consultation was conducted efficiently, and we received everything we needed, including antibiotics and the official medical documents, by email right after the appointment. Even though we communicated via WhatsApp using the phone number provided on their website, everything was completely legitimate and trustworthy. It gave us peace of mind while traveling. We highly recommend their services to any traveler in need of prompt and reliable medical care abroad. Helena Cooper2025-07-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doctors for Expats were very easy to get in touch with and replied quickly to my questions. I was booked in for an appointment with a couple of hours which was very easy to access on a video call. My appointment was with Dr Franco who had very good English. She was very understanding and gave thorough advice. She also replied very promptly when I had a couple of follow up questions after the call. I would recommend.
