I was impressed from our first conversation. More than simply being nice and patient focused, they are extremely well qualified, as is the entire staff. Indeed, it was a very easy to select Costa Rica after doing our research. We would make the same decision again," explained Michael Parson, a dental patient who arrived from the US.

"Quality of health services offered in Costa Rica has to do with the bilingual, highly trained professionals, a committed and specialized work force, many graduated from top ranked schools in the US and Europe," underlined the CEO of Costa Rica's Export Promotion Agency (PROCOMER), Pedro Beirute. "The country is the 4^th destination in America for the acquisition of medical services, according to the Medical Tourism Index, proof of the quality and superior conditions offered."
