Hi Christine,

There are many good gynecologist in my city, you can go to this website to have a look ginecoguayas.com.
The most recognized for pregnancy and birth is the Hospital Gineco-Obstetrico Enrique Sotomayor (govement and private hospital), but is located in an area not so nice and for a foeigner could be better to go to Clinica Kennedy in the north of the city, Clinica Alcivar in the south. They are private clinics and each one has a section for Gynecologists or any other kind of doctor.

Hi! I don't think that link works anymore. Do you have another link or website? Looking for an English-speaking OB-GYN in Guayaquil.
Thanks!

Hi Christine

I know this thread is very outdated, but I was wondering if there’s anything you could share from your experience regarding English speaking obgyn in Guayaquil.

Thanks !

Hi Sali,

If you have any information about this please let me know too

We are planning to have our first baby in Guayaquil and we will move in Ecuador on Oct 2018.
I tried to email and contact the Gynecology and Obstetrics doctor in Kennedy Hospital Clinic but no one response.

Hi Pauline,

I didn’t receive any information from anyone

so I ended up taking a leap of faith and went to an obgyn in Kennedy after reading reviews for various doctors on Facebook. Her name is Dr Jessica Torres. She has a clinic in Kennedy Samborondon and Alborada. Her English is limited but we were able to communicate as needed the help of my beginner Spanish. She was professional and sweet and I felt comfortabkw with her.

You can find her contact details online but let me know if you’d like to me share.

Good luck with your move!

Sali
