Clínica Bíblica Hospital

As a tourist, I broke my leg in Costa Rica. At your clinic, I was kindly welcomed. The surgery was successful, and the medical staff were very friendly. The level of comfort at your clinic was very high, significantly higher than what I would have experienced in my home country. I would like to praise all the staff for their attention and care, especially Dr. Castro, who made my foot surgery and is the kind of doctor every patient wishes for. The room where I recovered was spacious and beautiful, and the food was more delicious than in restaurants. Although I had a less pleasant experience at the end of my vacation due to the injury, I must still mention that the staff at this clinic helped me as a tourist, get through the situation with less fear, as everything was handled at a very high level. Finally, I would like to add that I have traveled to many places around the world, and this last trip to Costa Rica was also the best trip of my life so far. Pura Vida

On February 1, 2026, I was on a night hike near Monteverde, Costa Rica when my left foot went down a hole and my left ankle was dislocated and suffered four fractures in the left ankle bones. I was transported by ambulance back to San Jose, CR. I was taken to Hospital Clinica Biblica and the next seven days were better than I could ever have expected or hoped for. My attending physician was Dr David Jenkins and after x-rays, plus putting there ankle back in its socket, I was informed that I would need surgery on the ankle within two days. My husband, Duncan and I were put in a private room so that he could stay with me. There was a couch that converted to a bed in the room (#306, the third floor staff is fantastic). Surgery on the ankle was performed two nights later and the physicians, Dr Alvarez and Dr Jenkins did a remarkable getting all the bones reconnected. We stayed in the room an additional three nights before flying back home. Dr Alvarez made daily visits to check on me and to monitor my pain levels. After getting back to Charlotte, NC, I had an appointment with a sports medicine/orthopedic surgeon. Dr Seth Richmond was very complimentary of the work done from the x-rays that he took in his office. In summary, I would describe Hospital Clinica Biblical in San Jose, Costa Rica as a world class facility with great physicians, surgeons, and staff. It is absolutely a five star hospital. BWM

Dr. Mario Moreira Villalaz was exactly on time for our appointment. He took an interest in me and my well-being and performed a thorough examination. My appointment lasted almost an hour and Dr. Moreira covered everything I wanted him to and more. I look forward to being his patient for a long time.

I been there 3 times in a week and as a Canadian, I wanted to tell all the staff, nurses and doctors how grateful I am! The service is absolutely amazing, with care, and the hospital is beautiful, with so many services even in my country that aren't available. I hope you are proud, because you should! Thank you so much again, pura vida!

I came to Costa Rica for a six-month retreat, drawn by its well-earned reputation as a place of healing and wellness. As part of my journey, I decided to undergo a preventative health checkup at Clínica Bíblica Hospital to see how my body was adapting to an extended stay. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the moment I arrived, every staff member—from the doorman to the support teams—was exceptionally friendly and attentive. They carefully explained each step of the process, ensuring I felt informed and comfortable at all times. The doctors were not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely friendly, which made me feel completely safe in their care. The preventative care experience itself was outstanding. It included a delicious breakfast and ample time to rest between appointments. I was particularly impressed by the private rooms, especially in radiology, where meditation sessions were offered to ease any nervousness—a thoughtful touch I truly appreciated. Most importantly, my gynecologist identified a potential issue with immediate expertise. Thanks to this early detection, I am now confidently and safely moving forward with a necessary surgery. My trust in their medical team is absolute. I wholeheartedly recommend Clínica Bíblica Hospital for its excellence in medical care, its state-of-the-art facilities, and its profoundly compassionate and patient-centered approach.
