I am the mother of a little girl with Turner's Syndrome. Does anyone know of any doctors in Santo Domingo that specialize in this? I'm particularly interested in pediatric endocrinologists. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

In search of Doctors
Hi, this may or may not help, but I recently saw a doctor in Santiago, an internist, and she told me the way it worked here in the DR. She gave me my first EKG.
Rather than 'family doctors', internists such as herself take care of about 90% of common maladies. So they act more as the family doctors with whom we are familiar in NA. They then refer to specialists for particular problems.
Perhaps you can first find a recommended internist to begin the process of discovery? I would be glad to give you the name of the doctor in Santiago; she spoke excellent English and I really liked her way, but perhaps SD is more convenient?
I don't have her card with me, but I believe she is Dr. Butler, and her office is in the ... hmmm, darn, can't remember the clinic name. It's on Juan Pavlo Duarte, quite close to the major hwy intersection... Materno Interna?? Sorry, will find her card at home if someone would like the details.
Good luck with your search!

Information for those of you that don't know about this, and some doctors for you.
I did find this:

In Santo Domingo, I got two names from a nephew who is an Endocrinologist here in Santiago
Dr. Elvis Morla B?ez or Dr. Antonio Selman (the son, not the father)
These are Pediatric Endocrinologists.
Dr. Morla is at the UCE Clinic and his phone is 567 2889 (He does not go in on Wednesdays).
Dr. Selman is at the same place on Pedro Henriquez Ure?a, and his office is next to the Emergency entrance. His phone is 689 0938.
Both Docs speak English, but their Secretaries don't.
I do hope this helps you.
Good Luck

What is the name of your nephew? Because my family is from Cotui (about an hour from Santiago). Thanks again : )
