Have you ever been to Costa Rica for a medical procedure?

Question

MY husband & I are thinking about going so he can get some dental work.REALLY want to stay on/near the beach, but dentist is in San Jose. Any recommendations? It this a stupid idea (to travel back & forth). I found a place in Jaco for a good price that is on the beach. Also, anyone know how much breast augmentation is down there? I have looked online with no luck. I am also interested in some of the wild life tours...anyone know how much they are?

Answer 1

I didn't go to Costa Rica for medical proceedures, but I did get sick when I was living there.

I found the medical care to be good and professional.  Not as intensly malpractice self conscious as in the US.

If you encounter any problems with your proceedure (infection, ect) which is possible with any surgury your doctor in the US won't touch you, or will at least make a point of letting you know he is displeased.

If you are going for medical don't sign up for a lot of touristy stuff because you aren't going to feel like it with your face/b*****s swollen and healing.
