Bogota, Colombia:
1. Carlos Andres Ruiz, MD
-Penoscrotal approach, works with all brands but prefers AMS
-Bilingual (English, Spanish), operates out of a private surgical clinic
-Recommended by the local Boston Scientific rep as the highest volume implanter in Bogotá
-I paid $11,000 out of pocket for AMS CX with MS pump
-Very smooth, personalized experience. Had his cell phone to contact as needed. Even came to do home visits on post op days 1 and 2.

Thanks, do you know how many implants he does per year? I thought the highest volume implanter was Carvajal in Medellin.

He indicated he does around 2-4 per week, which appears to make him the highest volume surgeon in Bogota. Carvajal might do higher numbers… there’s definitely a bigger medical tourism industry there so it wouldn’t surprise me. But living in Bogotá and after meeting him, I felt confident in Dr. Ruiz. So far, no regrets!
