This place deserves a 5 star review! As a foreigner needing emergency surgical care in a different country, we were a bit terrified. My mom had to have an emergency appendectomy and we were rushed to this hospital from 5+ hours away. The facility was very clean and professional. The staff were absolutely phenomenal. Her nurses went out of their way to make it a comfortable experience. Many of them spoke English well, most others were patient with using google translate. They ordered us food on Sunday when the cafeteria was closed, and even gifted us bracelets when we were leaving. The nurses were exceptionally kind. Her surgeon Dr. Herrera was also phenomenal -- very communicative and kept things light hearted. He brought us a deck of playing cards on his day off to help with the stir crazies (we were there for 5 days). He also gave me his personal WhatsApp so I could ask any questions if I had concerns. Overall WAY better experience than I've had in US hospitals. The only downside is that you have to pay on the spot -- so call your creditor for a credit line increase....

I must speak about the emergency service and care my wife received Sunday evening. She was complaining of headaches for several days. The staff, (who spoke English) was very professional and courteous. We just moved to Costa Rica a little over a month ago. We have great insurance in the states. We did have to pay in advance and will submit the bills for reimbursement. Dr. Melendez in the emergency room was awesome, great sense of humor and all! She even recommended a primary care doctor for us. CT scan, doctor's exam, medication, under $700. In and out in under 2 hours! Go figure! We are happy to know that we will be having a doctor affiliated with this hospital.

Walked in on a Sunday afternoon for a Covid test. The testing site is located inside the parking structure. Facility is clean and professional. Easy in and out for the entire process. It cost 30 dollars for a single test. Turn around time for us were 4 hours. Hope this is helpful
