Posts: 172Costa Rica.Colombia medical dental costs.
I lived in Costa Rica for 13 years up until 2 years ago. Then I live in Medellin for 7 months. I can tell you a few things. Not everything. And I will make some subjective remarks also. A colonoscopy in Costa Rica costa costs $300+ any polups. In Colombia it is $180! Both are at top hospitals. Some medications in Costa Rica that cost $1. 00 per pill are almost $4. 00 in Colombia. Generally speaking. Brand name medications cost a LOT more in Colombia or are not even available. In my opinion Medical care in Medellin costs much less than CR. The quality. Give me Colombia anytime. The Medellin hospitals and clinics are 1st class. Maybe better than the USA. Maybe. I had a private health care policy in Colombia. Complete coverage for $210 per month. At 65 years old! It was the best insurance policy I have ever had.
The CR caja insurance is worthless. The Colombian 'caja' might be better. I say might be. The Colombian caja is good for immediate care. For long term it is questionalbe. Again. Bring your medication with you if going to Colombia.

Posts: 734I find that there are gringo prices in effect in Medellin.
A cap in Medellin is $425. A cap in Costa Rica is $225. Isn't Costa Rica supposed to have a higher standard of living as far as Latin America goes?

Posts: 734I have been shopping for some crowns. Costa Rica is about 1/2 the price of Medellin. The problem is that you get to sit on the beach for the two weeks it takes to get crowns.

Posts: 7I went to this guy today for a root canal and fixing of a chipped tooth and can't say enough good things about him. Great prices, excellent english and he did an amazing job. Felt no pain and you can't even tell he did anything or that my tooth was ever chipped.

Posts: 323Eyeglasses
One time I was walking in El Centro, mostly lost, and on one particular street downtown there was entirely eyeglass or optometrists offices on both sides of the street for a block. There is also an eyeglass place in el Oviedo mall. Which would be cheaper? Assuming you already have a scrip, how much to regular glasses cost, that is, are the frames a lot cheaper there?

Posts: 13I will be back in Medellin this week to continue some dental work, which to be honest is so so. Looking for another dentist that has been successfully road tested by members here. Implants is what I need next. Could only find the following online.
Dr. Juan Carlos Mejia and
Dr Juan David Restrepo, from the following website
http://www.medellinhealthtourism.com/
Anyone used these guys or can make a recommendation of others that are better.
