I finally bit the bullet and switched from my IESS insurance to a commercial policy with Humana. I live in Quito, Centro Norte. My Spanish is improving, but I have several complex medical issues, and discussing them coherently with my limited Spanish is pretty much a non-starter.
So,,,,several questions: Can anyone recommend a good English-speaking GP? Gastroenterologist? Dermatologist? Dentist? I have heard there are some at Hospital Metropolitano, though apparently they can be more expensive than Spanish-speaking docs, at least when paying cash. Not sure if this would be true with my insurance. Another hospital that takes my insurance is Hospital Vozandes, just a few block from my apartment. Anyone have experience with this hospital, or know if they also have any Spanish-speakers on staff? Many thanks in advance for any information you can provide!
