Costa Rican Healthcare is Quality, and the Recuperation Is Luxurious

By Jane Goodwin | March 20, 2007

Healthcare in Costa Rica is comparable to anything in the United States, with one exception: the price. World-class medical care in Costa Rica is a fraction of the cost of the same procedure in the States; for example, a procedure that might cost $13,000 or more in the States will cost perhaps $4,000 in Costa Rica.

Patients who choose to travel there are not giving up any kind of quality, either. All procedures, materials, etc, are FDA approved and imported from the United States.

Whether you come to Costa Rica for surgery, dental work, or whatever, the physicians, dentists, surgeons, technicians, are certified and reputable.

Besides price, however, there is another difference, and that is your recuperation. In Costa Rica, there are many very reasonably priced luxury hotels, staffed by medical personnel, to care for you during your recovery. One of the most popular is the Las Cumbres Inn, a 14-room inn designed especially for post-operative care.

Las Cumbres has everything a good hotel might have, plus everything a good hospital should have. In America, we don’t hear much about “surgical retreats,” but in Costa Rica, you will. A good surgical retreat will take better care of you than most American hospitals will.

Don’t worry about the language, either; English is spoken, and communication is not a problem. Las Cumbres will even take care of all transportation for you.

How many resort hotels do you know of that cost from $75.00 to $230.00 per day, and include three homecooked meals daily, internet access, cable television, pool, laundry, transportation, and computers? A breathtaking view of San Jose, the Central Valley Mountains, and the Irazu, Poas, and Barva volcanoes? How many hotels can beat that?

If you are thinking about having a medical procedure performed in Costa Rica, hold that thought and pick up the phone, or check it out on the internet. You’ll save a ton of money and be treated like royalty.

The quality, of course, is unsurpassed.
