Absolutely. Barranquilla is one of Colombia's most progressive cities and an established international medical hub, home to high-standard clinics and board-certified physicians who treat both local and international patients every day. The city's top hospitals follow rigorous clinical standards comparable to those you'd expect in the United States. Beyond the medical quality, Barranquilla is practical: it's a two-hour flight from Miami, making it one of the most accessible destinations in South America for U.S. and Canadian patients. IMC coordinates everything around your care — either a high-end hotel or private accommodation arranged through your physician, so you never navigate the city alone. Barranquilla is a city with modern infrastructure, English-speaking medical staff, and a reputation as a destination and an international medicine hub.
We currently offer two specialties through our network of board-certified physicians in Barranquilla. Radiation Oncology & Keloid Treatment with Dr. William Baquero: keloid removal with radiotherapy to prevent recurrence, plus cancer radiotherapy including IMRT, SBRT, brachytherapy, and radiosurgery for breast, prostate, lung, colorectal, and other cancers. Plastic Surgery with Dr. Luis Salja: breast augmentation, mommy makeovers, and reconstructive procedures. Barranquilla is a well-certified city for all of these procedures, with high-standard clinics and experienced surgical teams. Additional specialties are coming — check back as our network grows.
Yes. Both Dr. William Baquero and Dr. Luis Salja speak English fluently, and their staff and team members are bilingual as well. You can communicate entirely in English from your first inquiry through your procedure and follow-up. If for any reason a translator is needed, we can arrange one — but in most cases our physicians and their teams handle everything directly in both languages.
Keloids are raised, overgrown scars that form after skin injury — surgery, piercings, burns, or even minor cuts. They are notoriously difficult to treat because standard surgical removal alone has a high recurrence rate, often growing back larger than before. Keloid radiotherapy is the gold standard: low-dose radiation applied immediately after surgical excision targets the scar tissue at the cellular level and dramatically reduces the chance of recurrence — success rates exceed 90% with this combined approach. It is not widely available in the United States, and where it is, the cost can exceed $8,000–$12,000. Dr. William Baquero offers this exact protocol in Barranquilla at a fraction of U.S. prices, with the same equipment and clinical standards. He also treats breast, prostate, lung, colorectal, and other cancers using IMRT, SBRT, high-dose-rate brachytherapy, and intracranial radiosurgery — supported by PET-CT imaging — at 50–75% less than U.S. costs.
