Dr. Sara is very attentive, friendly, and professional, and she provides very thorough explanations. They give a complete diagnosis and prices for recommended future treatments. The receptionists are very kind and provide excellent customer service both by phone and in person. The clinic accepts most, if not all, insurance plans. I'm so glad I found this place.

Dr. Sara is excellent! She clearly explains what's needed and offers options for how the treatment can be done. She always asks if you're experiencing any discomfort, but honestly, I haven't had any problems or discomfort with her, even though I'm a very nervous person. She's incredibly professional and has a warm, personal touch. She's the best dentist I've ever found!

About
What this clinic actually does.
Centro Medico Tropicana is a multi-specialty medical and dental center located in Alajuela, Costa Rica, operated by Tropicana Wellness S.A. With over 20 years of continuous service, more than 15 medical specialists, 20+ specialties, and over 50 services, the center holds a 4.8-star Google rating from 58 reviews. The dental department features 6 specialist dentists covering cosmetic, restorative, preventive, and surgical dentistry, while the broader medical center offers cardiology, gynecology, psychology, vascular medicine, speech therapy, and alternative medicine under one roof. International patients, including visitors from the United States, have praised the center's technology as more advanced than their home providers, with significantly better pricing.
Why Choose Centro Medico TropicanaTropicana's core differentiator is its integrated medical and dental campus, allowing patients to access dental specialists alongside cardiologists, gynecologists, psychologists, vascular specialists, and speech therapists in a single facility. This is particularly valuable for patients with health conditions that intersect with dental care, or families seeking comprehensive care in one location. The dental department is staffed by 6 specialist dentists, each focused on a specific discipline, ensuring patients receive specialist-level care rather than generalist treatment. The center works with multiple insurance companies for cashless or reimbursed treatment, making quality care financially accessible. Patient testimonials from executives at organizations including INCAE Business School, Banco Nacional de Costa Rica, Coyol Free Zone, and SC Johnson reflect the center's standing within Costa Rica's professional community. An international patient from the US specifically noted that the technology at Tropicana was more advanced than their American dentist, with a complete cosmetic smile transformation completed in one week at much lower cost. The facility includes private parking, an in-house radiological center, and modern, secure premises.
