    Professional from start to finish

    JCI accreditation matters. The pre-op process was thorough, the OR was spotless, and the nursing staff checked on me every hour. Would absolutely recommend.

    Good BBL results

    The fat transfer looked great at 2 months. The surgeon was conservative (which I appreciate for safety). The hospital environment added an extra layer of confidence.

    Hospital-grade safety for cosmetic surgery

    Chose Cima because it's a full hospital — if anything went wrong, ICU was right there. My tummy tuck result is beautiful and I felt completely safe throughout.

    No sense or urgency even for pregnant patients Try to avoid this hospital for urgencies and ambulatory matters their process need to be re-work, came here with a 8 month pregnant woman and they took 1 hour to attend her, front desk has not courtesy and there are problems between the stuff that are clearly noticeable(frontdesk/nurse) only 3 people infront of us at the time. I will highly suggest to go to clínica bíblica or hospital metropolitano instead they are about the same distances and they are very good

    I had an exceptional experience with the medical check up. All providers were patient, kind and thorough. I will be back and I will recommend.

    If I could give less stars I would. Cima has wildly unethical doctors that are only out to line their pockets at any expense. We went in to arrange for a birth in their hospital, the doctor tried to tell us my wife's water had broken and needed a c-section that same day. We followed up at a public hospital and found it to be a lie. The doctor also told us they had a staggering 70% rate for c-sections, a number that is nonsensical. These doctors will lie to you so they can charge you more and only have you in the hospital for an hour rather than having to be on call all day. Stay as far away as possible.

    My grandson was born at this hospital. Good condition maternity ward. Nurse Avi is just amazing. Dr. Giacomin is the best OB-GYN Dr. Acuña is an outstanding pediatrician. The condition of the suit- room 2022- isn’t optimal. Needs wall retouches, two of the blinds do not work, and the food quality is not great. Chicken choice wasn’t good. Cost related to quality is unacceptable.. visiting hours are from 10 am - 7 pm. There is a guard at night that is very rude and disrespectful. He should not be working for a hospital as he doesn’t have social skills.

    First Class Medical Facility. I recently underwent a surgical procedure at Hospital CIMA and the service and process was just first class and exceptional from start to finish. The medical staff, Doctors, Nurses and support personnel were so friendly and attentative and just awesome at their roles. Always with a smile. I had a private room which was very well set our and came with a large sofa bed if you have family. Food was available 24/7 at a touch of a button and it was very high quality restaurant food. I cannot recommend Hospital CIMA highly enough with special thanks to Dr Mora, Dr Lopez and Nurse Maricel for my incredible care.
