"Our medical coordinator Sofia is the best. She tackle any issues promptly with professionnalisme. Our nurse Johanna need to be mentioned also for her outgoing personnality , always smiling even if her day was not great and also went above her duty to make sure that I was doing better each days. The therapy personnel help me getting back to my feet before leaving Costa Rica. Big thanks to them as well."
