There are a lot of these "SO CALLED DOCTORS" in the DR that are quite competent. My son had a growth (large mole type growth) that kept getting larger on the side of his nose. The doctor in POP Went through all of the necessary pre-surgical steps including lab samples, checking for malignancies, blood issues, before doing the removal. He actually removed an area of skin from behind my son's ear that was used to patch where the growth was. Three weeks later, you couldn't tell where it was.

IMHO, it sure beats the medical industry in the USA that is more interested in MONEY, and CORPORATE profits than they are helping people. If you really want to see BAD medical practices, look in the US virgin Islands..

How long does it take to be a doctor in DR ? Just a question, i was told only 5 if i remember correctly ?

not exactly. the school, i believe, is 5 years. then 2 years residency. then more to do a specialty. just like everywhere else. there are good doctors and ****ty doctors. i have seen both. with surgeries it is important to have a doctor you can trust. price should always be secondary. i have said before that i am all for plastic fantastic. when the times comes i will do small fixes. but i will pick up a good doctor to do the job. and i promise i will put it on dr1.
