Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Tamarindo if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"Tamarindo has a number of medical specialists available, including general practitioners, dentists, and optometrists. For highly specialized medical care, people typically travel to larger cities such as San Jose or Liberia, where there are more specialized medical facilities and a wider range of specialists," remarked another expat who made the move to Tamarindo, Costa Rica.
"Drive 1 hr 30 minutes to see specialists in Liberia. Some medical procedures, such as an MRI, require a drive to San Jose, 5 hours away," explained one expat living in Tamarindo, Costa Rica.
