Dermatology Institute and Skin Surgery “Dr. Huberto Bogaert Díaz” (IDCP-DHBD): more details about the clinic

Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo
The Dermatology Institute and Skin Surgery "Dr. Huberto Bogaert Díaz" (IDCP-DHBD) is a private, non-profit medical center in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Dr. Huberto Bogaert Díaz founded it in 1966. The institute is the central hub for a nationwide dermatology network. It combines disease prevention, diagnosis, and surgical management with medical training.

Patient Volume and Clinical Achievements

The institute treats more than 500,000 patients annually. Its contribution to medicine earned recognition at the Premios Vive Sano. The Dominican Medical Association awarded Dr. Bogaert Díaz the title of "Teacher of Medicine." Specialists train in clinical research through programs with Harvard University.

General and Pediatric Dermatology

The facility has 25 consultation rooms for general dermatology. Specialists manage a wide range of skin conditions through targeted pathways. These include cryosurgery for warts and tumors, plus hematology and cardiology consultations.

Pediatric dermatology is a dedicated service area. The pediatric team treats various conditions:

  • Simple skin pathologies
  • Complex genodermatoses (genetic skin disorders)
  • Rare pediatric skin syndromes
  • Atopic dermatitis (eczema)

A pediatrician, a dermatologic surgeon, and specialized nurses staff the pediatric department. The unit also trains residents from national pediatrics programs.

Dermatologic Surgery and Phlebology

The institute runs a Minor Surgery program with three operating rooms. These handle biopsies and skin lesion excisions. The Dermatologic Surgery department performs more advanced procedures:

  • Oncologic and reconstructive skin surgery
  • Hair transplantation
  • Cryosurgery for oral mucosal tumors
  • Laser-based tattoo and pigment removal

Dr. Víctor Pou Soares directs the Phlebology department, which treats venous and lymphatic disorders. The team includes four dermatology physicians trained in phlebology and a vascular surgeon. They use sclerotherapy injections to treat varicose veins. Doppler ultrasound and angiography provide diagnostic support for vascular patients.

Laboratory and Diagnostic Capabilities

In-house diagnostics support both clinical care and scientific research. The Medical Mycology Laboratory has identified fungal infections since 1966. Eight bioanalysts who specialize in microscopy and inoculation staff this lab.

The diagnostic department also monitors patients with HIV. Services include CD4/CD8 testing and RNA-VIH viral load quantification. Histopathology is available for precise analysis of skin tissue samples.

Equipment and Specialized Technologies

The Laser and Cosmiatría departments use modern platforms for medical and aesthetic skin care. These address concerns from acne scarring to skin rejuvenation. Available equipment includes:

  • ND-Yag Q-Switch Picosecond laser for tattoo removal
  • ND-Yag Long Pulse 1064 for hair removal and rejuvenation
  • Pulsed Light systems
  • Diamond-tip microdermabrasion
  • Pixelated radiofrequency for acne scars

These tools effectively treat melasma, lentigos, and other pigment spots.

International Patient Support

The institute coordinates care pathways for international patients. This allows patients to complete diagnosis and treatment in a single visit. Laboratory support is integrated, so surgical planning gets fast results. Patients from abroad can access services at the central unit in Santo Domingo.
