MedValet was started in Medellín in 2025 by Edmond Losey, a Swiss hotel professional who's lived in Colombia since 2016. He built it for people who want a proper medical pathway without organizing surgery abroad on their own.
Every knee replacement is done by Dr. Alejandro Jaramillo and Dr. Paula Sarmiento together. Lina and Mariana, the physical therapists, and Diana, the post-op nurse, carry the weeks after.
Edmond is at every appointment.
We base patients in selected areas of El Poblado, chosen for their proximity to the clinics, pharmacies, and groceries, and for quiet streets and flat sidewalks that suit early recovery walking.

Yes. Send your basic information and knee imaging. Your Patient Journey Director reviews the file personally and requests preliminary surgeon input once the records are complete.
The surgeon consultation is the one paid step, USD 200, and it comes off your journey price if you go ahead.
19 nights, leaving on day 20. Surgery is on day 4. Your surgeon checks you in person on day 19 and clears you to fly. If he wants you to stay a few more days, that's his call, and we sort out the apartment.
A booking site introduces you to a clinic and steps back. We don't. We review your case, put you in front of the surgeon, plan every day of your stay, drive you to every appointment, and keep the same physical therapists on video for six weeks after you're home. You deal with one person the whole way.
Send us your basic information and your knee X-ray. Edmond reads it himself, gets the surgeon's first opinion once the file is complete, and tells you within 3 to 5 business days whether Medellín is a fit for your knee. If it isn't, we say so on that first read.
