Testimonials
Patients who recovered their quality of life
20 years after a parachute accident in the military, and after a failed surgery in the United States, this veteran found in Panama what the American healthcare system couldn't deliver. Walking in three days. Zero swelling. His words: “like a five-star resort compared to the United States.”
Joseph carried decades of pain since his scoliosis surgery in 1994. What seemed like a complex case, Dr. Brugiatti resolved with a hip arthroscopy for CAM-type femoroacetabular impingement. One week later, a different person.
Previous doctors treated his knees. Dr. Brugiatti looked higher: the problem was in both hips. A year and a half after bilateral arthroscopy, Juan Carlos lifts weights every day. No pain. No swelling. No limits.
At 55, María Teresa thought the pain was just part of aging. Her therapist referred her directly to Dr. Brugiatti. Result: bilateral hip arthroscopy and a quality of life she thought was gone forever.
A pain that started mild and ended up stealing even the simplest activities. After the arthroscopy, she was walking the next day. Before the month was over, she left the crutches behind. Today she exercises pain-free and medication-free. In her words: “If I had to have surgery again, I wouldn't hesitate.”
She consulted for pain in one hip. Dr. Brugiatti detected the problem was in both. Something Evelyn never imagined: the mobility she recovered after surgery revealed how much she had lost without knowing it.
The first MRI said there was nothing wrong. Dr. Brugiatti wasn't satisfied: he ordered a repeat with better resolution. Result: bilateral impingement confirmed. Three weeks after surgery she left the crutches. Four weeks later she was driving and working normally.
A US Army veteran who moved from Texas to Panama. A meniscus injury while playing pickleball led to her third knee surgery. After two previous surgeries in the United States, it was in Panama where she woke up pain-free for the first time. Excellent service, zero pain, full mobility.
