www.dentarica.blogspot.com/2015/02/we-are-published-read-online-version-of.html Jordan's PCNL surgery at UNIBE Hospital in Costa Rica was performed by Dr. Roy Lopez and his team. In the U.S., the procedure would have cost around $38,000. His Costa Rican bill, including flights, recovery center stay, meals and lodging for 5 nights, and fees, was $12,000. Just as important, if not more so, Jordan says the quality of the health care was excellent. It is especially amazing to him since he sacrificed nothing except time and "legwork."
Hopefully Richard's experience will bring an option to the attention of many Americans that they may have not considered. He is grateful for the opportunity and outcome. As a staff member of NC Medical Travel himself, he was already confident in Costa Rican healthcare and UNIBE Hospital. He had not expected the personal involvement, however.
