Médico Express

What Médico Express does

Médico Express is a privately held outpatient healthcare center headquartered in Santo Domingo Este, Dominican Republic, founded in 2024. It operates as a multi-specialty ambulatory facility delivering urgent care, advanced diagnostic imaging (1.5T MRI, 128-slice CT, 3D mammography, 4D ultrasound, X-ray), laboratory services, and specialty consultations across 40+ medical specialties, supported by a workforce of 501-1,000 employees. The company reports having served more than 150,000 patients since opening, with additional product lines in gastroenterology, ambulatory surgery, and an AI-assisted Total Scan full-body MRI screening offering.

The business model combines three revenue streams: (1) fee-for-service outpatient care to the local Dominican population across insurance and self-pay channels, (2) medical tourism packages targeting non-Dominican patients traveling for cost-advantaged care, and (3) diaspora care anchored by a New York concierge offering that serves Dominican-Americans seeking second opinions, diagnostics, and coordinated follow-up. A telemedicine platform extends post-visit continuity. Distribution is reinforced through partnerships with Arajet (airline), the AHSD hotel network (accommodation bundling), ADOTURD/ANBARD (sports tourism), and Nicklaus Children's Hospital (pediatric specialty referrals).

Commercially, the company differentiates on internationally validated credentials — including being the first Caribbean facility to receive GHA Medical Travel Patient Experience Certification, the first in Latin America with Fitwel certification, and reportedly employing the largest global cohort of Certified Medical Travel Professionals (CMTP) at 21. The competitive positioning is built around being a one-stop, internationally accredited outpatient destination that combines clinical capability with tourism infrastructure, rather than competing on price alone.
