"Periodially the area has specialized medicine physicians that treat local residents and they arrive generally once per month at a private care physician's office in Quepos. This is a good option for general procedures of dermatology, obstetrics, etc. For more options and specialized care, the Central Valley of CR is the best option. There are multitudes of physicians in the Central Valley specializing in every aspect of health care. The quality of care is exceptional and if you choose to pay for this through private pay, the cost is substantially less than the US. From the Quepos area, this regiĆ³n is approximately 2.5-3 hours from Quepos. However, Quepos has a public airstrip with several flights per day and it is not uncommon to fly to the Central Valley for consultation. The flight is 20 minutes in duration," explained one expat who made the move to Quepos , Costa Rica.
