Jairo Madrigal Alfaro

It is an excellent university and my dream is to be able to study medicine. At some point it would be a privilege, God willing, and someday I will be able to because I know that it is number one in our country in the field of medicine and that will not change. Blessings and truly my best wishes for UNIBE ? …

christian vargas

Excellent care. In my opinion, the hygiene measures exceed many I've seen in other private hospitals. The staff is very competent and friendly in all areas. Most importantly, the prices are excellent, tailored to the needs we're experiencing during this pandemic. I recommend it 100%.

Faby WM

Everything is worth it, and the facilities are beautiful. The service is excellent from the moment you arrive until the consultation itself. Dr. León Blanco is wonderful, and the prices are affordable with financing options.
I'm very happy with the service I received.

Jessica Saucedo

The international relations department is one lady who is of no help. I was accepted into the medical program and when I attempted to bring my concerns to the “Decano” and he was of no help. The international relations, Viviana attempted to …

nicole mata

This is the worst service I've ever received. They give me a quote and schedule an appointment, but then they try to charge me double. I ask for it digitally, and they tell me it's not possible and instead give me an ambiguous document.

Alejandro Chaves

Definitely an exceptional place out of 100, I could give it a 110. The attention, the human affection, the brotherhood, the understanding, the sweetness and the love that all the staff have for their clients or patients is simply …

Adrián Ruiz

They offer a variety of services and follow the protocols. Unfortunately, due to the long wait, I had to leave without being seen. I had gone there as a favor for some interns; I couldn't help them, but they were very helpful.

Ana Yhansy Quiros Ruiz

The service is outstanding from the moment you walk in; all the staff are incredibly friendly and dedicated to patient care.
Even when you call to schedule an appointment, the staff are very attentive.

Oscar Brenes

Pleasant facilities, good parking, and very good service. The hospital sign is small and easily confused with the sign for the university of the same name, which is located further down the road.

Mar Malavassi

Terrible experience. They don't respect appointments, they sell services like a private hospital, and they really don't understand how to care for a patient, so you end up losing the results.

M. C

Beautiful building and impeccable facilities... I would only recommend controlling the air conditioning on cold and windy days, because the temperature inside the building feels too cold.

Carmen Goitia

The nursing staff is incredible; they work with such dedication and commitment. Thank you so much! It's a great place to have surgery. They make you feel right at home.

Alexander Mora M

Yesterday I went on a date and it turned out they ripped me off for 1500 pesos for 50 minutes of parking! Unbelievable! ? I'm never going back. …

Pato Gonzalez

Excellent service, the secretaries were very friendly, and the medical staff was extremely professional. 100% recommended.

max rivera

Excellent place for psychological care, among other things. Great connection between students, patients, and doctors.

ANGELO Zecca

About the parking.
It's incredible I have to paid it. after I spend 48.500 colones
Inconsiderate and ridiculous.

Luis Guillermo Rodríguez Corrales

It seems like a good institution, but what I don't understand is why it doesn't have a human resources department?
