This list is designed for those visiting Costa Rica and find themselves in need of medical assistance. I will be focusing on private care as that is what would be available for tourist visas. I will be updating this list as I find new recommendations...
I have had the best experience with this lovely dental office. I have had cracked fillings fixed and a cleaning done here at a very reasonable price. Excellent staff and the doctor speaks Spanish as well as English.
