Scott Oliver - February 01, 2012
Affordable Private Hospital Care in Costa Rica. Paying 15% of what it would cost in the U.S. sounds like a deal to me... The Doctor assured me that the 'wear and tear' on my bod is probably more to do with my time in Her Majesty's Royal Marine Commandos, high-diving, getting slammed into the sand a thousand times while surfing for years in West Africa, various marathons, a few motorcycle accidents (how I'm still walking I have no bloody idea), falling off a few galloping horses, boxing for years and general overuse and abuse... . . .

Are Veneers The Best Choice For Whitening Your Teeth in Costa Rica If You're Over 40?
Charlie Dennard - Dental facilitator
Are Veneers The Best Choice For Whitening Your Teeth in Costa Rica If You're Over 40? There is one little catch however. Yes! If you are relatively young, say under 40, there is a good chance that the whitening procedures used by dentists will restore, to a degree, that smile (even less with the OTC stuff) that stares back at you from magazines and billboards but... as you grow older and the smorgasbord of food and drink choices accumulate your enamel pays the price for your addiction to Starbucks, that favorite red wine, the extra squeeze of lemon juice on your shrimp and of course the sugar content that inhabits almost everything we eat. . . .

Larissa and Tim. Ontario, Canada.

"Your site has helped my husband and myself make our move to Costa Rica. We started out by buying your book and WeLoveCostaRica.com has helped every step of the way, from getting recommendations on the forum regarding the best satellite dish professional to evaluating how to get our 13 year old pot-bellied pig here.  I just wanted to thank you and tell you that we appreciate your GREAT work!"

Kathy Dyhr, USA.

"I just want to say thank you for your website, video and book. I appreciate your honesty in disclosing the pitfalls one can run into when dealing with real estate in Costa Rica. Having been a widow for a number of years now, I have come to understand the value of having reliable, honest people to deal with. This network of good, dependable business and professional people you have developed makes a great comfort zone within which to operate in a foreign country. The knowledge you have provided me with has given me the courage to pursue a dream, that I may not have pursued otherwise."

Cheryl DuPlessis. Greenville Junction, Maine

"Hola Scott! It was some time ago when I asked you for a reference to legal counsel for a particularly ornery situation with MINAE. Well, we FINALLY got the last permit to complete the construction of our vacation villa in Manuel Antonio. Your recommendation led us to an environmental law specialist, Lic. Mauricio Salas. Thanks to Sr. Salas, we have prevailed in every instance over the MINAE follies. We are very pleased and have you to thank for the introduction(s) that led us to the right guy who got the job done. Saludos y muchisimas gracias."

Coleman Alderson, Manuel Antonio. Costa Rica.

"I have been a VIP member for a while on your site + you are a wealth of information for me. You recommended John McGee to me months ago for health insurance and I got my girlfriend and myself excellent coverage and John is really a nice person to deal with. I have also used 2 different lawyers from your site for title searches and they too were very professional and efficient. Thanks for any help and I appreciate everything that you have done for us already. I bought your book a long time ago and it was the most informative book on Costa Rica I have ever read and definitely the Bible for buying real estate in Costa Rica. This will be my second property here thanks to this book and the information that I gained from not only reading but applying what I read."

This may sound selfish but I will be leaving FL in 4 years and retiring in CR. I hope nothing happens to you between now and then because I just don't know what I will do with out your articles keeping me up to date and informing me of the latest deals and all the other misc. great stuff about CR. This information tells me how the economy is going in CR and how I should be planning my retirement. Take care of yourself and always wear your seat belt."

Mary in FL, USA

Steve and Eve. Charlotte, NC. USA

"I received my Costa Rica Fair Trade coffee yesterday and had my first cup this morning. It was as wonderful as I remembered. I was missing the view of the Costa Rica coffee bushes across the mountain hills, but it did bring back the memories of sunshine, butterflies, bright flowers and the gorgeous view. Pretty amazing that a cup of coffee can do all this!"

It is clear that it was conceived and is run by a very intelligent, insightful person. The site is easy to navigate, has decent graphics. By far, it is the most professional-looking site related to CR that I have encountered and one is compelled to feel that the info on the site comes from a trustworthy, dependable source. That's saying a lot when dealing with matters related to CR because gosh knows how much sensationalism normally surrounds the topic! Thanks and keep up the great work!"

Chuck Crider, Orlando, FL. USA
