If you have a problem finding one let me know, my neighboor and buddy here in Santiago is a microsurgeon who specializes in hands who has worked and taught abroad in the US and Spain. He has a clinic at Las Corominas.

Thank you so much, but I would prefer a doctor in the capital if possible. I will surely keep that doctor in mind if I cannot find anything in the capital!

Anyone else, please let me know if you can recommend anyone in the Santo Domingo area! I would greatly appreciate it!

Give Dr Batista a call, he works in the capital too - in fact that is why he is there today, he travels there every week.

My sister is a doctor (not a surgeon though) and she works at a very good private hospital in Santo Domingo. Its a chain of Spanish (from Spain) private hospitals that are opening up in The DR (Bavaro and Santo Domingo). She tells me is not a cheap place, but basically most of the doctors who work there are top notch. For instance my dad had to have bypass surgery and we took him there because the heart surgeon who works there is considered to be the top heart surgeon in the country. He did a great job.

Anyhow give them a call if you wish and see what they can do for you.

Here's their website:

Aslo, I forgot to tell you, Dr Batista also is friends with another microsurgeon who lives in the capital.
