This place deserves a 5 star review! As a foreigner needing emergency surgical care in a different country, we were a bit terrified. My mom had to have an emergency appendectomy and we were rushed to this hospital from 5+ hours away. The facility was very clean and professional. The staff were absolutely phenomenal. Her nurses went out of their way to make it a comfortable experience. Many of them spoke English well, most others were patient with using google translate. They ordered us food on Sunday when the cafeteria was closed, and even gifted us bracelets when we were leaving. The nurses were exceptionally kind. Her surgeon Dr. Herrera was also phenomenal -- very communicative and kept things light hearted. He brought us a deck of playing cards on his day off to help with the stir crazies (we were there for 5 days). He also gave me his personal WhatsApp so I could ask any questions if I had concerns. Overall WAY better experience than I've had in US hospitals. The only downside is that you have to pay on the spot -- so call your creditor for a credit line increase....

I was visiting Costa Rica for vacation and had sudden abdominal pain. I transported here urgently from Monteverde and diagnosed with ovarian torsion which required emergency suffer. The staff is kind and the facilities are clean and modern. I highly recommend!

I would not go to this hospital under any circumstances, especially if you are a foreigner and the hospital may have the impression that you have money. There are better hospitals where you are more likely to be treated humanely and fairly, such as Catholica Hospital. My father went into Clinica Biblica to be treated for dehydration, and within a week he was in a coma and had a stroke. I believe wholeheartedly that several members of their medical staff prolonged an agonizing course of surgeries and treatments simply in order to make a profit off of a dying man. It was heart wrenching and traumatizing. I wanted desperately to move him to a public hospital where his health insurance would cover the costs, and Biblica would not release him, causing our medical bills to increase dramatically by the day. Ultimately, my father did not make it, and the hospital would never explain what happened. Why was he admitted to be treated for dehydration and ended up on his death bed. Also, you should know that Costa Rican people are generally some of the best, kindest people on the planet, however, there is a machismo that is inescapable. The male doctors spoke down to my sisters and I in the most awfully condescending way I have ever experienced. If you have a serious medical issue, I implore you - go anywhere else but here. They are all about money and will take advantage of your need for care. Beware.
