Hello and Happy New Year to all my VIP friends!

2015 begins my sixth year working with Dr. Mario and his great staff. In the years that I have lived here in Costa Rica I have learned a great deal about dental tourism in Costa Rica, how to restore your dental health and how to make it a memorable journey with a successful dental outcome.

I have talked to literally hundreds of the VIP Members of WeLoveCostaRica.com about their desire to have safe, affordable dental care and addressed those issues important to them as they made their decision to come to Dr. Mario’s new, multi-million, state-of-the-art facility located in Escazu, the business and entertainment center of San Jose.

Usually there are two questions that dominate the initial conversation.

First, how much money can I save getting my dental work done in Costa Rica?

For you VIP Members living in the US and Canada, that can vary. As you know there is no competition among US dentists. It is a closed shop when it comes to pricing. They all pretty much march in lock-step when it comes to costs. ALL of Dr. Mario’s dental prices are online and readily available. But if you want to prove a point call a few of your local US dentists and ask the receptionist for the price of a particular dental procedure.

So now defensive measures are put into action by the office. The voice, now alerted to your intentions, answers you without giving an answer by telling you that if you will make an appointment the doctor will be happy to work up a treatment plan for you. You ask for the cost of a appointment and are informed a initial consultation is $150. So, the games afoot! If you want to ‘shop’ dental costs with 2 or 3 local dentists it could cost you several hundred dollars in consultation fees. That is a rub indeed.

With Dr. Mario we will not only give you costs down to the penny but the amount of time that will be needed to do the work. Also we guarantee a automatic 40% minimum discount (it could be and often is more) off your US or Canadian dental treatment plan. If your local dentist says he wants $24,000 just subtract 40% and you have Dr. Mario’s price, in this case $14,400.

Plus you will receive an additional $500 airfare rebate or a free weeks stay at a local B&B, your choice. Will that work for you? Instead of you paying your dentist so HE can take a vacation you save with Dr. Mario so YOU can take the vacation.

The other big question, after dental costs is how do you know he is a good dentist? Is Dr. Mario qualified?

If I could paint a verbal picture translated into words of the high level of professionalism and ethics that defines Dr. Mario, all of your curiosity would be satisfied.

In the 5+ years I have worked with Dr. Mario, I have seen the multiplied results of VIP members, who had dental work performed by Dr. Mario and his staff, with results above and beyond their expectations. But that aside, what are some hard, cold facts you can take to the bank?

He is recommended by the US Embassy in Costa Rica. He has been selected by Blue Cross Blue Shield/SC as a preferred international dental provider through their subsidiary CGD. He is a member in good standing with the ADA (American Dental Association). He is the dentist to he outgoing president of Costa Rica Laura Chinchilla.

But beyond that he is a marvellous human being. Besides being intellectually gifted and a brilliant dental surgeon he is someone who knows how to listen. His approach to every patient is characterized by a personal rapport that not only calms a patients fears but instills a level of trust that everything is going to be all right.

I know this sounds too good to be true, but it is true and I have seen it played out over and over again.

So here we are. We will make sure your trip to Costa Rica goes without a hitch. Every ‘t’ ‘crossed and every ”í’ dotted. You will have a successful dental outcome. You will save multiple thousands of dollars. And, if you want, you will have a great time…Pura Vida
