"Very beautiful and preserved old architecture there is also a small but interesting museum that exibits health care old instuments. But attention is not the best. They have to improve a lot"

"My daughter was born there. Obviously the EPS (one of the provate Health Insurance companies) gave us other options, but I wanted her to be born in a downtown clinic. It was an excellent service, though the real problem is the dilapidated area where the clinic is located. Other than that, very clean premises, excellent care, high level of professionalism among staff & doctors, and my daughter was delivered in the best possible way. Thanks San José clinic!"
