"DCW DENTAL located her are not to be trusted. This is a cautionary warning. They took $8,180 as a deposit and did not perform any services and refused to return my deposit, without explanation. They then put a third party in the middle of the dispute. The third party then said that they have a disclaimer, when I never had any dealings with the third party. Please, go where the reputation can be trusted. If you are in the US, and do not trust this business."
"I been there 3 times in a week and as a Canadian, I wanted to tell all the staff, nurses and doctors how grateful I am! The service is absolutely amazing, with care, and the hospital is beautiful, with so many services even in my country that aren't available. I hope you are proud, because you should! Thank you so much again, pura vida!"
"I came to Costa Rica for a six-month retreat, drawn by its well-earned reputation as a place of healing and wellness. As part of my journey, I decided to undergo a preventative health checkup at Clínica Bíblica Hospital to see how my body was adapting to an extended stay. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the moment I arrived, every staff member—from the doorman to the support teams—was exceptionally friendly and attentive. They carefully explained each step of the process, ensuring I felt informed and comfortable at all times. The doctors were not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely friendly, which made me feel completely safe in their care. The preventative care experience itself was outstanding. It included a delicious breakfast and ample time to rest between appointments. I was particularly impressed by the private rooms, especially in radiology, where meditation sessions were offered to ease any nervousness—a thoughtful touch I truly appreciated. Most importantly, my gynecologist identified a potential issue with immediate expertise. Thanks to this early detection, I am now confidently and safely moving forward with a necessary surgery. My trust in their medical team is absolute. I wholeheartedly recommend Clínica Bíblica Hospital for its excellence in medical care, its state-of-the-art facilities, and its profoundly compassionate and patient-centered approach."
"Over many years visiting this hospital/clinic I have always come away satisfied amd impressed with the quality and expertise of the medical staff, they are truly exceptional comparef to what I have experienced in the U.S. over the same time period. I can personally attest to the expertise of specialists in opthamology, dermatology, and general medicine. The entire complex is extremely well-managed, immaculate, ordered, easy to navegate, complete with ample and secure parking, a modern and pleasant cafe and restaurant, and a pharmacy."
"As a tourist, I broke my leg in Costa Rica. At your clinic, I was kindly welcomed. The surgery was successful, and the medical staff were very friendly. The level of comfort at your clinic was very high, significantly higher than what I would have experienced in my home country. I would like to praise all the staff for their attention and care, especially Dr. Castro, who made my foot surgery and is the kind of doctor every patient wishes for. The room where I recovered was spacious and beautiful, and the food was more delicious than in restaurants. Although I had a less pleasant experience at the end of my vacation due to the injury, I must still mention that the staff at this clinic helped me as a tourist, get through the situation with less fear, as everything was handled at a very high level. Finally, I would like to add that I have traveled to many places around the world, and this last trip to Costa Rica was also the best trip of my life so far. Pura Vida"
