Medical emergency first
In a medical emergency, call 911: the national 9-1-1 emergency system covers Samaná province. You can also go straight to the nearest emergency department. Our form is neither an emergency service nor a medical consultation: we will contact you on WhatsApp, but we cannot promise a response time. See also our emergency page.
Please do not put detailed medical information in the form (symptoms, medical history, treatments or test results). Just tell us what kind of professional you are looking for: GP or specialty, language, home visit, adult or child patient. You will discuss your health directly with the doctor.
Who this page covers
- General practice: appointments for common health problems, repeat prescriptions, medical certificates.
- Specialists: tell us which specialty you need. Depending on your needs, some appointments or tests may mean travelling to another town.
- Paediatrics: appointments for babies, children and teenagers.
- Home visits: at your house, villa or hotel, where the doctor offers this.
Seeing a doctor in Las Terrenas: the local context
Las Terrenas is home to Dominican residents, year-round expatriates and plenty of visitors. Many people want a doctor who speaks their language, whether French, English or Italian: let us know and we will take it into account as far as we can. If the patient does not speak Spanish, bringing someone who can interpret makes the appointment much easier.
The Samaná peninsula is a long way from the big cities, and Santo Domingo is several hours away by road. For specialist follow-up or certain tests, find out early what travel may be involved.
Preparing for your appointment
- Bring ID (passport or cédula) and your insurance card, whether a Dominican ARS, travel or international insurance, with your insurer's contact details.
- Bring current prescriptions and a list of your medicines, in their original packaging if possible, plus any relevant reports: take them to the appointment, do not put them in the form.
- If you are visiting, keep a copy of your insurance policy on your phone, along with your insurer's assistance number that can be called from abroad.
- Ask in advance about the fee, accepted payment methods (cash in pesos, card, transfer) and whether you will get an itemised invoice for your insurer.
Checking the professional
In the Dominican Republic, doctors must hold an exequátur, the official licence to practise. Feel free to ask for the doctor's exequátur number and specialty. A reputable professional will give them without hesitation.
Questions to ask
- Do you speak French, English or another language?
- How much is a consultation, or a home visit?
- Do you accept my insurance, and will you give me an invoice for reimbursement?
- Where do you see patients, and when do you do home visits?
- What is your exequátur number?
Good practice
The doctors in our directory are independent: they are not ProTerrenas employees, and we cannot guarantee their availability or fees. For a health problem, do not rely on advice by message: see a doctor. Keep your prescriptions, invoices and medical reports.
Send a request
Just tell us what kind of doctor you need, your preferred language and whether you would like a home visit, using our doctor request form. Only your WhatsApp number is required. Our team will contact you and suggest an independent doctor. In an emergency, do not wait for our reply: call 911. More tips in our guides.
Frequently asked questions
Does the form replace a medical consultation?
No. It is only a way to ask for a doctor's contact details. We do not give medical advice or make diagnoses. In an emergency, call 911 or go straight to the nearest emergency department.
How much does a doctor's appointment cost in Las Terrenas?
It varies with the doctor, the specialty, the setting (practice, clinic or home visit) and the time of day. The site only shows a fee when it was collected from public sources and is shown with its date; otherwise you will see 'on request'. Ask about the price and accepted payment methods before the appointment.
Will my insurance be accepted?
That depends on the doctor and your policy. If you are covered by a Dominican health insurer (ARS), ask whether the doctor works with it. With travel or international insurance, contact your insurer before the appointment if you can: some require prior approval, others reimburse against an invoice. Keep all invoices and medical reports.
Can a doctor come to my house or hotel?
Some doctors do home visits, but not all: say so in your request, along with the area where you are staying. A home visit is not a substitute for emergency care: if the situation is urgent, call 911.
Is ProTerrenas a medical service?
No. We are a matching service: we receive your request, contact you on WhatsApp and suggest an independent doctor. ProTerrenas is not a healthcare provider; the consultation, fees and follow-up are solely the doctor's responsibility.
