The 62-bed CIMA San José was the first Costa Rican hospital to be accredited by the Costa Rica Ministry of Health and is the only hospital in Central America accredited by the US Department of Veterans Affairs. CIMA San José is also the first hospital in Latin America to receive accreditation under JCI's the new patient safety standards scoring a 99.5 percent, one of the highest scores in Latin America.

Located in the elegant San José suburb of Escazú, CIMA boasts more than 500 physicians representing over 60 specialties; a complete imaging department, including open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), x-ray, ultrasound, and endoscopy; a full-service laboratory; and a 24-hour pharmacy.

CIMA's specialties include cardiology, orthopedic surgery, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, laparoscopic surgery, neurology, urology, ophthalmology, and otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat).

Health travelers most often visit CIMA for cosmetic, eye, hip, and knee surgery, for which it reports some of the lowest prices in the country. Surgeons at CIMA perform nearly 400 breast augmentations annually, and more than 500 arthroscopic procedures.

I was picked up at the airport, taken to a nice hotel and I was treated with a tremendous level of courtesy and professionalism. It is entirely possible that I have received better care here than I would have in the US and I certainly received it a lot faster for better price. — Wendy, Texas, US
