For Dominican nationals residing in New York City, returning home involves far more than simple travel—it encompasses family obligations, celebrations, and numerous responsibilities that quickly fill their schedules. This often leads to a recurring dilemma: postponing essential preventive health check-ups for themselves and necessary medical follow-ups for their aging parents back in the Dominican Republic.
Addressing this pressing need, Médico Express, located in Santo Domingo Este, has developed a specialized healthcare solution tailored specifically for the diaspora community. The facility offers a seamlessly coordinated medical experience that transforms brief visits into opportunities for comprehensive health assessment and peace of mind.
The institution’s approach centers on eliminating the common barriers to healthcare access faced by international travelers. Rather than simply providing tests, Médico Express focuses on delivering clinical clarity, actionable health plans, and ultimately, improved quality of life through their structured programs.
Key differentiators include international certifications from Global Healthcare Accreditation (GHA) and Fitwel, ensuring patient-centered, safety-driven care. Their strategic proximity to Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) minimizes travel time, maximizing valuable family moments. Advanced diagnostic capabilities feature AI-enhanced 1.5T MRI and state-of-the-art CT imaging technology for precise, timely assessments.
As a comprehensive medical facility, Médico Express consolidates 40 medical specialties, adult and pediatric urgent care, ambulatory surgery, endoscopy, dental and ophthalmology services, and a full diagnostic center under one roof—eliminating the need for multiple facility visits.
Two specialized programs cater specifically to New York-based Dominicans: The Homecoming Executive Check-Up, a streamlined 4-hour comprehensive assessment with pre-coordination and digital results, and the Senior Check-Up for Parents, designed for children abroad to remotely coordinate and fund healthcare for their parents in the DR.
The NYC Concierge service via WhatsApp facilitates pre-trip coordination, appointment confirmation, and ongoing support throughout the medical journey. This model ensures certainty and efficiency for those managing healthcare across international borders, allowing them to protect their health without sacrificing precious family time during their visits home.
