Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Grecia if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"Yes, Grecia has a wide range of medical specialists, including general practitioners, dentists, cardiologists, oncologists, and other specialty fields. For highly specialized medical care, patients usually travel to hospitals in San José or to international destinations such as the United States or Europe. Many foreign doctors have set up practices in Costa Rica and offer specialized services. Additionally, several private clinics offer quality medical services and have the necessary technology to perform complex procedures or treatments. In general, locals and visitors feel confident in the quality of medical care that is available in Costa Rica," explained one expat living in Grecia, Costa Rica.
"I have not needed to do that so far, so I have no information except from friends, all who have been HIGHLY pleased with their specialists in San Jose," said another in Grecia, Costa Rica.
