We have used Dr. Nelson Gil for 20 years for general medicine. He also looked after my daughter since 1 year old until she was 15. Even made house calls in emergencies (we lived very close) . Speaks excellent English, Spanish and I believe some German. If needs be he will refer you to a specialist. He will also take all the time in the world to explain to you what the problem, ramifications and the options for treatment. He has stitched us up on several occasions, done ultra sounds scans, and in an emergency situation saved a family member with and adrenalin injection required because a doctor from Puerto Plata prescribed a pain pill that caused a violent allergy reaction causing eyes and throat to close up followed by collapse and total body spasms. A nice guy. Get his Tel# so in an emergency you can call first and he will be ready when you get there. HE IS A LOT CLOSER than Puerto Plata
