So to cut a long story short the day I arrived I'm d.r I went to see baez. She took my medical history and after telling her that I took an aspirin two days before I arrived she said based on the results from my lab she willing decide if I'll have surgery. She got the lab results at 10 pm that night. This lady texted me saying that all my results were fine but she thinks it's best to not do my surgery because of the one aspirin I took and that I would have to do the surgery a week later. I was soooo disappointed because I already took all my vacation time and spent all that money to go to d.r. fortunately my best friend had other doctors on back up and immediately told jose leon about my dilema. I spoke to him the same night and he told me to come in the next day. He speaks fluent English which was a bug plus for me. He said that if all my labs we're fine along with a bleeding time test that he did because I took the aspirin then I could do my surgery that day. The facility was very nice and I didn't have to pay extra for a nurse because they have nurses that work around the clock. I love my results and leon was god sent. Baez doesn't seem like a very confident doctor. She said that there were no tests to see the effects thar the aspirin would have on my bleeding and she told me to go get a second opinion. She didn't even email or text me to see if I wanted to reschedule the surgery. I don't live in d.r and with patients coming from abroad she could have been more caring. I highly recommend jose leon he is very easy to get in touch with, he's a very sweet doctor and his English is on point. Now that I'm back in the u.s.a he is still easy ti get in touch with whenever I have a question getting would call or text immediatelt . Will post more pics soon

Question? Immigration/customs

tellyboo
So I've never been to d.r and since I'm going there for surgery im curious to know what ppl wrote on that customs form that they had to fill out when they were going to dr. Did you put that you were going for business? Did you put the name of the recovery house? And the amount of money your traveling with? I don't know if the same rules apply everywhere but whenever I'm going back to my country I have to put the address of the place in staying purpose of visit and length of stay on the custom form. I don't want to go through a lot of questioning and hassle when I get to santo Domingo so can someone tell me the process they went through when they got there. Thanks

I'm a FA.. I can only speak for US Customs and they're not really restrict as to the "why" for travel. However Costa Rica & D.R. compared to the US are extremely lax. Any & everything is permissible.
