Bougainvillea Clinic

We offer general hospital services, including surgical specialties such as ENT surgery, orthopedic and spinal surgery, general, gynecology, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery and more. Built on the remains of an early seventeenth-century Dutch fort, our hospital is locally known as the "Purple Palace". Centrally located in Road Town, the capital of the BVI, it has a magnificent view of Road Harbour and surrounding islands. The Bougainvillea Clinic has held a world-renowned reputation for excellence in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery since it was first opened in 1973 by Dr. Robin Tattersall, FRCS(I), OBE. The Clinic began its transformation into a general hospital with a focus on the surgical specialties in 2007, when a special relationship was forged with the doctors of Eureka Medical Clinic. In January 2010, in a pre-retirement move, Dr. Tattersall finally transferred ownership of the clinic to Dr. Heskith Vanterpool of Eureka. Under new ownership and management, the Bougainvillea Clinic is now undergoing transformation into a modern hospital. Nevertheless, every effort is being made to retain the special warmth and charm that both the clinic and its staff are traditionally known for, with safety and attention to detail being our main concerns. Why should you come to us? Our experienced doctors, caring staff, and the peaceful seclusion of the Clinic make surgery and convalescence at our clinic a pleasantly memorable experience for local and overseas patients alike. Our hospital is now served by an increasing number of specialist surgeons and physicians who have previously worked for many years in senior positions in hospitals in the UK, Ireland, Europe, USA, and in up-to-date facilities in other Caribbean Islands. The range of medical, surgical, and diagnostic services that we offer is impressive and of high level, to say the least. Medical Tourism
