What are healthcare services like in Playa Potrero?

Answer this Question

We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Playa Potrero. They wrote...

"Playa Potrero, is a small beach town that offers basic healthcare services. There are local clinics and pharmacies available for minor health issues and regular check-ups. For more serious health concerns, residents and visitors typically travel to larger nearby cities like Liberia or San Jose, which have full-scale hospitals and specialized medical facilities. The healthcare professionals in Costa Rica are known for their high level of training and professionalism, and many speak English, making it easier for expats and tourists. It's also worth noting that Costa Rica has a universal healthcare system, and private healthcare is also available at a relatively affordable cost. Dental care is also readily available, with many choosing Costa Rica as a destination for dental tourism due to the high quality and cost-effectiveness of the services. However, it's always recommended for visitors to have travel insurance that covers medical expenses," remarked another expat who made the move to Playa Potrero, Costa Rica.
