4 Dentistry and Oncology clinics in Costa Rica

Attention to detail by Dr. Vanessa. He explained everything step by step in a simple and easy way before proceeding. The space is very clean and organized. Easy to get to with secure parking.

man haha if you ever need to get surgery all of the sudden while completely tripping balls, it wont be the funnest experience of your life or anything but at least my nearly severed limbs work again 1500$ later. thanks docs and nurses!

The Intensive Care staff brought me back to life. Dr. Sanchez is a miracle worker. The staffing were so thorough and attentive. A+ rating.

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.

Bad Experience I had an unfortunate experience when I accompanied my boyfriend to the emergency room. Upon our arrival, I couldn't help but notice that the staff at the cashier's desk were engrossed in conversations about their personal lives, as if they were attending a social gathering rather than attending to the needs of the waiting patients, many of whom were feeling unwell. This lack of professionalism was disheartening. Subsequently, we proceeded to the consultation, hoping for a resolution to my boyfriend's health issue. Unfortunately, not only did they fail to address the problem effectively, but they also took an extensive amount of time dealing with the paperwork related to our health insurance. This bureaucratic delay was frustrating, especially considering that my boyfriend was still feeling terrible after over an hour of waiting. To make matters worse, we were unexpectedly presented with a bill amounting to nearly 400 dollars. Given the exorbitant cost, we were disheartened to realize that we still had no concrete diagnosis. The doctor merely provided us with the name of a specialist, leaving us feeling dissatisfied with the level of care provided. It is disheartening to conclude that this hospital seems to prioritize profit over patient well-being.

Private hospital, hete you can find all medical specialties prices range between $85 to $120 for dovtor visit. ER visit costs under $100. The hospital has all types of diagnostics equipment.

I visited the emergency room. It was my first time at CIMA. I was seen quickly and received thorough testing and care. All of the staff were kind and patient. They were even kind with my limited Spanish and never made me feel bad for not speaking Spanish well. The ER doctor was especially kind, listened well, and explained his thoughts and reasoning thoroughly. He was also patient when i struggled to remember medical history in the moment. He was easily one of the best doctors I have ever seen. All of the staff was wonderful.

Excellent hospital. Excellent urologist Mario Gonzales rooms to perform glass-glass and others🤗

I’m providing a unbiased and true experience of my most recent hospital visit at UNIBE in Costa Rica. I travel frequently to Costa Rica and had the most pleasant and professional experience on two previous occasions while be admitted to the hospital for long term stays from the doctors to the staff members this is why I chose to return. Unfortunately my most recent experience was negative to say the least from my initial checkin to being discharged as I was appalled with the treatment and level of service provided. The intake personal have absolutely no business being placed into these positions as they lack the customer service skills interacting with the public as it appeared they are unhappy providing even the most basic questions to the patient. Upon being released from my procedure the doctor or not even a staff members took a minute of there time to discuss my diagnosis or even medications if required in person. I was just given a piece of paper which I had so many questions as I was unfamiliar with the medications required and diagnosis provided. I have been acclimated in other hospitals throughout the world upon completing a procedure the doctor or staff member would meet you in person afterwards and discuss there findings also any medications if required even if it’s a minute or two unfortunately this didn’t happen. That particular weekend I had been enduring many unpleasant symptoms as I drove two hours to visit the hospital thinking I would have a positive interaction unfortunately this didn’t become to fruition as I was deeply disappointed. I then asked the admitting personal upon being discharged if I can discuss my results with the doctor or any staff member they said I would need to set an appointment with the doctor and pay additional fees for another date. I was beyond disappointed and infuriated as I would need to return another day to drive another 4 hours in total. Once again the behavior displayed by the admitting personal was unacceptable and discourteous. This will be my last time visiting this establishment as the level of service provided was unacceptable especially of a paying patient. I recommend future travelers or foreigners utilize other hospitals in the area which hopefully would have more of a bedside manner when someone is ill and can conduct themselves in a professional manner.

It is the first time in my life that I pay for parking in a hospital where I am already paying for the service of the place.

I had top notch care with Dr. Alonso. He listened to my concerns and included me in the treatment plan. I found him to be not only expertly gifted, but genuinely a nice guy. I would without a doubt recommend him to any one needing dental care. Simply an awesome experience.

Top Dentist anywhere. It's hard to praise Dr. Alonso enough. Im positive there is nothing he can't do. Here is the straight scoop for Americans. Speaks amazing English so communication is simple. His website is set up so that if you follow and do what it says then you will be surprised at how easy everything is. The quoted cost was actually higher than the actual cost of my treatment. My cost in the U.S. and at a quality dental office would have been in the range of 25-30k. Yes.. no joke!! My cost was around 9k. In the U.S. the dental procedures, and they were NUMEROUS would have taken literally a year and im being conservative here. My time spent was 5 days in the office with a return visit in the future for the finished implants. Virtually painless....and the assistant was actually a Dentist as well and she was Fantastic. State of the art equipment....seriously my Dentist in Miami does not have this. I could go on and on and would be glad to assist anyone with their decision. I dont want to post my telephone info but Dr. Alonso is free to give it out at his discretion. Or email address. If you have never traveled to the Dominican Republic and are apprehensive...well don't be. I was picked up at the airport by a transportion gentleman that works for the office. Spoke English which was great because my Espanol is horrible. He drove me to an imaging center a few blocks away and back and to my hotel that was convenient to the office. Of course back to the airport when I left. The dental office will assist you with pretty much everything so no worries there. Santo Domingo is safe. Just use your head and stay in good areas like the dental office. Very nice area with a great place across the street to eat (or soup and a latte)..In my case. I can't wait to go back and finalize everything then do some hiking up north in the Jungle!!! Dr. Alonso is first-class, a dental artist and is doing a lot of people a whole lot of good. God Bless!!!

I work in the medical field and was hesitant to travel outside of the US for this treatment. I did my research and would see Dr. Alonso again tomorrow if I could. My experience was nothing short of spectacular and the results- WOW- I am complimented on my smile every single day, which means the world to me….a girl who never smiled because I was insecure that my teeth did not show. Thank you Dr. Alonso for your expertise, professionalism, kindness and for my beautiful smile!

Doctor Jay did an amazing job. I traveled from the USA to Santo Domingo for his services. I love my new look and there was minimal pain afterwards. I suggest his services to any and everyone. On a scale of 1-10 I would rank him and his services an 11.

Dr Jonathan Collado is the best and most recommended dentist in Santo Domingo. His high level of professionalism and experience makes him a top dentist . His staff is amazing and welcoming. Rosana is amazing, very sweet, and professional . I’ve had veneers done and couldn’t be happier ! Also had my family’s dental procedures and braces done at this clinic .. They have it all here. I highly recommend it.

Best investment ever, the whole crew is really friendly and professional. They made me feel like I was home.

DR. FLORENTINO is the best Dentist you will need any day, you will not regret going Dominican republic, we live in the USA Minnesota, and it cost a lots here for Dentist,we look up Google try other Dentists no good responses the moment we contacted Dr. florentino he responded give us ideas resort close by his hospital I mean he make everything so easy for us being our first time traveling there,at first I thought it was going to be difficult, but he walk us through.he did a great job., We actually enjoyed the place friendly people, very welcoming, we used the same time for our mini vacation also.our new Dentist family. Thanks Dr.florentino:

Dr.Florentino is marvelous from the beginning of reviewing the reviews he had on Google I automatically knew he was the dentist I had to see, from the first visit I advised him of why I came to him I came for RESULTS , I told him how much of my confidence I lost in my life of constant bad breath from poor dental work done before he found the root cause of the problem and gave me different options to choose from with affordable prices, this Dr knew his stuff and he meant business very friendly and well spoken. We finished my job in a short and convenient timing and all I can say is I have my smile my confidence back and I’m just pleased with the results. You want results you want affordable pricing friendly clean environment he’s the guy to go to!

OMG😍😍!!!! I can not say enough about how Doctor Florentino changed my smile!! He made me beautiful again, I now feel confident in myself in areas that I haven't felt that way, for a long time, I appreciate everything that he did, he made the process as smooth and painless as possible, I felt very comfortable with him and I am completely satisfied with my results. When I need to work in the future, he's the only guy I'm going to☺☺...

Best dentist

i had one of the worst experiences of my life at this clinic. i went in for chin and neck lipo and left after three hours of scraping inside of my face with no fat having been sucked out. their syringes all malfunctioned so they could not remove any of the fat. the doctor who performed it apologized and said "you wont see a difference because we cant get the tools to work" and suggested i find another surgeon that day who could fix what they did. the assistant apologized to me and said it shouldnt be like this. i was crying and terrified on the table as syringe after syringe broke while the canula was still inside of my skin and several doctors struggled and tugged at the long needle. i was humilated and terrified and just wanted to run away. the owner, alfred, refuses to take any responsibility for what happened - even though the doctor who performed it said i should seek another doctor to fix what they could not do, and apologized to me many times. Alfred made zero effort to make the situation right. i understand things happen, but his cold indifference and unwilingness to admit any wrongdoing was the final slap in the face after having to actually pay for this horrible experience. i would strongly suggest you run far away from this clinic.

The best dental clinic in Sto Dgo, the best service and top care!

I needed to make an unscheduled visit to a dentist whilst on my travels in South America. After some careful research and a responsive conversation with the Smiles Peru over WhatsApp, I choose to book my first consultation. In this consultation, they provided the most thorough examination I have experienced, with impeccable bedside manners and more than sufficient spoken English skills. Following the consultation I opted for all advised services, including a root canal, post, and crown. They were able to fit my lengthy appointments into a very condensed period of time to best align with my travel plans. I am extremely satisfied with the service; over the course of my treatment I was seen by no less than five dentists with each reviewing and checking the quality of the others' work. I couldn't be more satisfied with the final results, it is without a doubt the best my dental health has ever felt.

I didn't expect to visit the dentist while in Peru, but had a top notch experience when I needed to. I chipped my tooth on my plane ride into Lima and walked in the next day on Saturday morning. They were able to see me, assess and fix that day. Could not ask for more. Oh and the whole space is strikingly clean and white. I've never felt at a more clean and professional dental outfit.

The Doctors and all Staff at Smiles Peru were amazing!!! I had to have very extensive dental work done in a very short period of time, and literally was in the Dentist chair from 9 am to to close in order to get everything perfect before I had to travel. From Lab work, crowns , root canals , oral surgery, and much more , they were so professional and had a plan of action everyday which they succeeded at every given turn. Every single person I came into contact with from the door men, taxi driver that they sent to pick me up, to everyone else I came into contact with throughput the week , I can not express how grateful I was for their patience with getting everything exactly perfect!!! They were so kind and gentle and very concerned with how I was doing and all wanted to make my goal happen, which was accomplished on this trip! They also have very nice apartments that you can rent, right next door to their office so when youhave breaks to go eat , it’s right next door. Thanks again for everything!!! See you in 6 months!!!!

I had the BEST experience at the Hummingbird clinic and Dr. Behrooz will be my forever dentist. They took the time to listen to my concerns and went above and beyond to fix all of my issues. I am beyond grateful that I found this place. The dental hygienists, the front desk receptionist and of course Dr. Behrooz were so so friendly that I forgot I was at the dentist because I was so comfortable the entire time, even during my fillings! I love how my teeth look and will be recommending this clinic to everyone I know. Thank you Hummingbird staff!!

The BEST experience ever! Dr. Taghizadeh is truly a professional and an artist! I had multiple fillings done which I’m absolutely satisfied. But above that, I had two wisdom teeth extracted at the same time. It literally took less than five minutes and I DID NOT FEEL A THING!!! I was still getting myself comfortable in the chair and he said done! I was SHOCKED! I would’ve given him six stars if I could :)

I visited the clinic today for an urgent wisdom tooth extraction, and I was thoroughly impressed with their service. The team was incredibly understanding and efficient in addressing my pain. They provided clear explanations and made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. Their professionalism and skilled approach made a potentially stressful experience quite manageable. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone needing dental care, especially for urgent issues like mine
