Costa Rica/medical care

Question
I'm considering a trip to Costa Rica for several reasons, one of which is to possibly have some dental work done.  My understanding is that Costa Rica has a national health care service....can tourists receive treatment there under the national plan and if not, how are retail rates and quality of service compared to say the U.S.?

Answer
after looking around I would suggest you

dr. Andres Furchgott 506 2224 7703   don't have the email you might want to call them
and ask for a quotation


Here in Costa Rica all medical procedures are very good

if you come I would also suggest stay at HOtel 1492 www.hotel1492.com in Barrio Escalante, we have experience with medical guests
