Cabrera
Cabrera
Dr. Narcizo Cruz — Clínica en Cabrera
General Medicine · House Calls · On-Site Lab
English-friendlyThe most important doctor's number to have in your phone when you live in Cabrera. Dr. Cruz runs a private clinic in town, makes house calls for approximately 2,500 pesos (~$42 USD), and operates an on-site laboratory where most results are returned within 24 hours — not the week-plus turnaround common elsewhere. Handles routine care, chronic condition management, and urgent non-emergency visits. A trusted fixture in the expat community.
Cabrera
Clínica De La Cruz
General Medicine · Outpatient Care
Located on the main road through Cabrera, the Clínica De La Cruz is the town's most accessible private clinic for outpatient consultations, routine diagnostics, and non-emergency care. Professional staff, clean facilities, and reasonable wait times by local standards. The first stop for most expats before escalating to a specialist in Santiago.
Cabrera
Hospital Municipal de Cabrera
Emergency Care · New State Facility
Cabrera's brand-new state hospital handles local emergencies and provides a meaningful upgrade to what was available just a few years ago.

Regional Hospital · General & Emergency
The nearest public regional hospital to Cabrera, roughly 45 minutes east. Handles general medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and obstetrics at a regional level.

Private clinics in Nagua supplement for routine specialist visits.

General Medicine · Sports Medicine
