Dental and Medical Vacations in Costa Rica . . .

Fun on Medical Vacation to Costa Rica

Medical Tourism in Costa Rica – Dental Tourism in Costa Rica -Medical Vacation in Costa Rica

Why not take a vacation, meet some great people and tour some of what Costa Rica has to offer?

Costa Rican Medical Care (CRMC) is again working with PROMED the Council for the International Promotion of the Costa Rica Medicine to promote the Medical Travel Conference April 23-25, 2012 in Escazu, Costa Rica.

Costa Rican Medical Care is one of the select few medical tourism facilitators recommended by Traveling 4 Health and Retirement.  We know the company’s principals and have talked with a number of their satisfied patients who have shared reports on their experiences and the services provided.

My husband and I have fond memories of our trip to Cost Rica for the 2009 conference when we were hosted by Tim and Viki Morales, President and Patient Coordinator of Costa Rican Medical Care.  It wasn’t just what we learned at the conference, it was what we learned at the beach and over lunch and dinner listening to Tim and his wife Viki, who have years of experience to share.

Conferences are a great place to gather information, browse the booths and talk with professionals about what you want.  But how often do you get the opportunity to spend enough time with providers to get to know the people behind the company?

This year’s host hotel will be the beautiful five star Inter-Continental Hotel located in beautiful Escazu just outside San Jose.  The hotel is conveniently located across from the recently-expanded Mutiplaza Shopping Center, a true international shopping mecca.

Your Early Bird Price is only $500 for Single or $600 for two attendees double occupancy sharing a room.  Room cost for the 4 nights alone from the hotel’s website is $976!

I encourage people to take advantage of the hospitality and knowledge Tim and Viki have to share.  It’s refreshing to get to know a company’s philosophy and practices and investigate an industry while building a relationship with industry leaders rather than being held at arms-length, which is certainly more often the case at conferences.

Add that to having a chance to tour medical facilities of interest, and you are now much better prepared to make a decision based on not only on cost and but also on quality considerations.

What you’ll like about the Medical Travel Conference in Cost Rica is that there are no “added costs” for tours of facilities or access to seminars and workshops.  As attendees at other conferences can attest, that’s not always the case.

Perks of being hosted by Costa Rican Medical Care

I can assure you from first-hand experience, that this is a company that does a first-rate job of hosting.  You will hear honest opinions, get to know personalities and philosophies and come away with trusted resources to call for your or your company needs.

The following story was told to me by Tim Morales:

“In August, an employee benefit advisor along with his wife contacted CRMC about offering their services. They flew down to Costa Rica to visit the medical and dental providers and decided to each get complete physicals while they were there. During the booking process, his wife mentioned that she had just had a Mammogram in the last 60 days and did not need that included in the physical. Because the physical included a breast ultrasound, Viki urged her to take advantage of having the test as a second check.  This test showed two spots that were not seen with the Mammogram. Within 90 minutes, she was seeing a specialist for biopsy and removal of the two affected areas. They could not believe the prompt and caring service they received from the hospital and doctors and said that if this had happened in the States, it would have been weeks to get an appointment to see the specialist. They were very happy that they had taken Viki’s advice, as the problem would have gone undetected.

If, like many people, you think of Costa Rica as a third-world country with antiquated health care, I urge you to take advantage of this conference and the special early bird pricing available to find out the real truth about the care and facilities in Costa Rica.  You’ll come away with a new perspective and appreciation for what’s available to the medical tourist.  And you’ll have the added benefit of a five-star stay added bonuses at a big discount.”
