Beyond your appointments

More than a medical trip

Costa Rica offers space to recover or recharge among beaches, rainforests, national parks, mountains, and hot springs, with restaurants and cultural experiences to explore. Patients may stay close to the clinic or extend their visit before or after treatment.

Plan activities around your treatment schedule and follow any restrictions from your physician. Your medical plan should take priority over excursions or extended travel.

Continuity of care

Support before, during, and after your visit

We aim to make the process organized and straightforward, from your initial consultation through your return home. Our English-speaking team helps you understand each stage of your care.

  • Before your visit

    Discuss appointments, patient forms, treatment recommendations, and practical scheduling. Accommodation or transport guidance is available when appropriate.

  • During your stay

    Review your care plan and follow-up instructions with the team, keeping medical appointments at the center of your visit.

  • After you return home

    Virtual follow-up may allow Dr. Jeff Ugalde and the team to review progress, answer questions, discuss laboratory results, and determine whether further follow-up is needed.
