Medical Tours - Costa Rica

Medical Tours in Costa Rica are becomming more and more popular among Americans, Canadians and other foreign nationals. Costa Rica ranks high in healthcare quality and standards yet its prices have remained well below North American prices. Travel to Costa Rica is relatively painless - punn intended! We are seeing Medical Tours in Costa Rica grow in demand on a regular basis. Common services included knee and hip replacement surgeries, cosmetic surgery, etc. and dental procedures such as dental veneers, dental fillings, dental crowns, dental implants, braces and more.

Why are Medical Tours in Costa Rica so popular?
Among the obvious reasons, Americans and Canadians without dental or other medical insurance can get treated at half or less of the price of a similar procedure in the US and Canada. In many cases, a medical tourist can enjoy a vacation in Costa Rica in a beautiful, tropical climate, stay in a nice hotel or vacation rental condo in Jaco or another Pacific Beach location and have their procedure done - all for the same price or less as what it would have cost in the US or Canada. Snowbirds are using Medical Tours in Costa Rica to escape the cold weather and justify a trip. One more reason that Medical Tourism in Costa Rica is popular is that the wait times for a procedure is much shorter than back home. For example, to have a knee replacement surgery in the US, you may have to wait 6 months for the doctor to have room in his schedule and in Canada that same procedure can take a year or longer. In Costa Rica, you most likely will be able to have the surgery within a week or two of scheduling it.
