Medical philosophy
A medical approach to longevity and wellness
For Dr. Ugalde, personalized medicine begins with understanding the patient. Medical history, symptoms, laboratory findings, lifestyle, and individual goals all contribute to treatment decisions.
His philosophy is centered on informed medical decision-making: evaluating whether a treatment is appropriate for a particular patient, discussing potential benefits and limitations, and monitoring the patient's response over time. This approach reflects a broader goal of helping patients make thoughtful decisions about their health, longevity, and quality of life.
Dr. Ugalde's experience also provides continuity for those seeking medical and wellness care in Costa Rica while visiting from other countries. His English-speaking practice serves patients from the United States, Canada, and elsewhere who are looking for accessible, personalized, and cost-effective care.

The story
The beginning of Age Metrics Medical
The development of Age Metrics Medical reflects Dr. Ugalde's longstanding interest in helping patients approach aging with greater intention.

This vision became the foundation for Age Metrics Medical: a practice that combines a clinical outlook, advanced therapies, and medical oversight in a setting designed around the evolving needs of patients. Dr. Ugalde has been part of the practice's medical leadership since 2014.
