It is three weeks today that I had total hip replacement surgery at Hospital Clinica Biblica in Costa Rica and I am now back at my home in Cobble Hill, BC, Canada recuperating well and beginning to walk again and to resume my life.
My sincere thanks go out to all the staff in the International Department who made this medical journey an amazing experience. Starlene Spencer my Patients Coordinator, guide and guardian angel, who with her quiet, gentle and professional manner guided me from one station to the next in the hospital, eliminating completely my sense of anxiety. She does her work efficiently and was always in touch and right there whenever she was needed.
The entire hospital staff from Dr. Oscar Oeding, the friendly caring and skilled orthopedic surgeon, to Dr. Carlos Wu Chin who was called upon on short notice to help with my high blood pressure and who was on hand constantly during my stay, to the warm, kind and competent nurses on the ward, to the physiotherapists who provided gentle but necessary post operative therapy; all handled their duties in an extra ordinarily caring fashion. I cannot believe that medical care gets any better than what I experienced at Clinica Biblica. My heartfelt thanks go out to you all.
My thanks also to Tim Wallace at Med Journeys who suggested we consider hospital Clinica Biblica in Costa Rica. He said we would not be disappointed and he was so very right. He allayed our many concerns and followed up quickly on all our questions. He even arranged for Dr. Oeding who was on a holiday at the time to phone prior to our leaving.
Che Tica became our home away from home for almost two weeks while I recovered sufficiently to make the long journey back to Canada. Once again the entire staff at this facility outdid themselves in ensuring we were comfortable and well looked after. The location itself is most conducive to recuperation and the staff from Francis the onsite nurse to the massage therapists to the house keeping, cooks and catering staff, the drivers and Lorena & Ruben Martin proprietors all encouraged my small steps of recuperation. They are all a beautiful, loving people and excellent representatives of the country of Costa Rica.
It goes without saying that we would highly recommend Med Journeys, Clinica Biblica and Che Tica to anyone in need of medical attention outside of Canada or the United States. In fact should you wish, you may have any potential candidate contact us at the above address. We would be only too happy to provide a verbal Testimonial.
Once again we thank you for your many kindnesses and wish you all the very best in the future.
Very sincerely yours,
Mary MacGregor
