“To anyone being advised to have a colonoscopy or upper endoscopy – I highly recommend Ambergris Hope Hospital and Dr. Gabourel. I have told all my friends of my experience and want to share with others, who might not be aware of the availability of this service in San Pedro for likely less than the airfare to fly back north, get a rental car and/or hotel rooms while you take care of medical business.
This is not my first colonoscopy and likely won’t be my last. This is the second that I have had performed by Dr. Gabourel, first time at his hospital in Belize City. The care and professionalism of the staff, anesthesiologist, technicians and equipment was on the same par as what would be found in North America.
At completion, Dr. Gabourel will show you the procedure on video and explain if you wish to see. Otherwise, he will just give you the details and recommendations. Hopefully like me, those having a procedure will be given the all clear for another 5-10 years depending on their age.
I cannot say how thankful I am to Hope Hospital to continuing the goal of bringing excellent physicians and staff to San Pedro to take care of locals, immigrants, expats and tourists. We are so fortunate that this dream has come to fruition and we all benefit.
Support Ambergris Hope Hospital
I encourage everyone to support Ambergris Hope Hospital if you are in need of lab work, seeing a doctor and especially if you have a medical emergency. Because with more patients and growth Hope Hospital will continue to add services. There is also now a pediatrician and surgeries being performed right here. Imagine a CT scanner here in San Pedro. Knowing where the island was even 10 years ago before RRR, a second ambulance service, and now Hope Hospital, it hardly seems possible that this is the same island.” /s/ Anonymous
