How did you hear about Hospital Serena del Mar?

I had the opportunity to visit Serena del Mar Hospital with my son Penn, and our experience was invaluable. It all began at Rafael Núñez Airport in Cartagena, where Penn suffered a severe asthma attack before boarding our flight back to New York. An airport doctor advised us against flying, so my wife and our other two children returned to New York while Penn and I stayed in Cartagena.

Experience at Hospital Serena del Mar

Thanks to the recommendation of close friends, we decided to go to Serena del Mar Hospital, recognized as the best in the city. We arrived by ambulance at the pediatric emergency room, where the doctors acted quickly to stabilize Penn. They administered oxygen and an IV, and then transferred him to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, where we spent three nights.

Our stay at the hospital was wonderful. The doctors were competent, attentive, and communicative. The nurses were amazing.

Although we were sad to leave the hospital, we needed to return home to New York to be with our family. We made many friends at Serena del Mar Hospital, and the staff took great care of us. Now Penn is 100% thanks to the excellent care he received. I am so grateful to everyone who looked after us. Thank you so much.
