Ha. There's only the one doctor. Here is what I wrote in my review. My husband had his appointment just a few months ago, in November, so the information is pretty recent. If you have any other questions let me know.

 

I do want to add that while the embassy itself was great, the medical was a nightmare. They are only open from 12 to 4 and that also includes calling them. The secretary is clueless and consistently gives confusing and conflicting information. She told my husband that he had to come back and get his exams done the next day but he later found out he could easily have done them on that same day -- there is zero respect for people who don't live in Santiago. If you're from regions, you will basically have to take two weeks off just to deal with this office. Then the secretary did not give my husband back his passport, which he needed for the exams. He called to get it back and she told him to return at 11. He arrived just before 11 but the secretary did not show up until after noon and appeared to have entirely forgotten about him. Then she was upset that he brought passport photos with him because they were supposed to be carnet photos, according to her. They also ended up asking him to come back for the envelope a day earlier than they had previously agreed on, which, again, very difficult for someone who does not live in Santiago. My husband said the office itself is very old and dingy and really gives a bad impression, which is surprising for an office that works so closely with the US embassy. So glad it's all over with!
