Without making too long a story I will tell you that I did my research and decided to choose Dr. Garita for my dental work. Dr. Garita and his staff were courteous, prompt and professional. I get compliments on the appearance of my smile on a regular basis thanks to Dr. Garita and my teeth are very strong. I have had considerable dental work done over the years and Dr. Garita's work is not only equal to the work that I've had in the states- it is better and at a much better price! I am very proud to have made the right decision in choosing DR. Garita as my dentist.

I used Rosenstock Center Costa Rica in July 2008 for eye and face surgery. All aspects of the expereince exceeded all my expectations.The results were very satisfying.

My experience at the Rosenstock Center remains the best surgical one I have had. The doctors and nurses at the Center are among the very best. The Breast Lift was painless and the experience in Costa Rica cannot be matched. You receive very individualized care unlike some in the United States. The Recovery Retreat was one the most fun experiences also. You meet so many people from all over the world.

The minute I stepped in the door of the Rosenstock Center, I felt at ease and looked forward to my great new look! It was all top notch. I look forward to returning again. Thank you Dr. Rosenstock, Dr. Leiberman and Dr. Cohen!

Thank you, thank you. I can't begin to tell you the feeling I get every time I look in the mirror. I smile and I'm shocked, it is so perfect! As you know I spent years trying to save for the extensive dentistry I needed done. I needed dental implants, crowns, and a bridge, as well as, oral surgery. All totaling approximately $15,000 in the U.S. My insurance would possibly pay $1,200, ha! I thought I had time to save but then I started having pain. I had infections under the teeth that needed to be pulled but I didn't have the money to do the work I needed. Then I came across an article on Cosmetic and Dental surgery in Costa Rica. That brought me to the Internet right away and I found healthcostarica.com.

I emailed the site and was put in touch with a patient coordinator from Dr. Mario Garita's office in Costa Rica named Nora. She emailed me right back and I heard from the doctor within 24 hours. From that point on things went so quickly and smoothly. I not only got a quote on the work I needed, but was stunned to find that the costs were 2/3 less than in US! I also found a dentist who was kind, gentle, and patient -- that was amazing!

Dr. Garita's patient coordinator, Nora, took care of everything from appointments, flight information, recovery retreat, transportation, to what to bring, to Costa Rican environment, culture, climate, I simply mean everything.

When it was time to board the plane to go I was nervous and began to have doubts that it really could be this easy. But these doubts began to fade when we landed and I was greeted by a driver from the recovery retreat, the Las Cumbres Inn. I was met at the door of the retreat by a smiling Elke, the owner of the retreat, who is a wonder. She and her staff are there to meet your every need - even those you didn't know you have.

The same day of my arrival I had my first appointment with Dr. Garita and if I had had any reservations they were quickly dispelled. I not only wound up with my new teeth and a new smile, but also a new friend. So different from here. I spent a couple weeks in Costa Rica and between appointments I had time to tour, travel, and enjoy the beautiful country and its people. My total spending for everything came to a little more than 1/3 of what I would have spent here, and on top of that I had a great vacation! How do I thank you, Dr. Garita, and Elke, as well as all of my new friends in Costa Rica.

I had been planning on cosmetic surgery for a very long time. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not afford the prices here in the States. A friend of mine told me about Costa Rica being a Mecca for cosmetic surgery. She had her surgery there and looked terrific.

She recommended Costa Rica Health Escapes and Dr. Rosenstock. I did my research and discovered that the doctors on staff are members of the American Society of Plastic Surgery. Everyone speaks English and the doctors are very warm and caring.

One of my biggest fears was ending up looking like my face was pulled tight. We had a consultation upon my arrival and was assured this would not happen. I am amazed at the results. Everyone tells me I look terrific, very relaxed and rested looking.

Elke the owner of Las Cumbres took care of all my needs post-op. I was treated like a queen and will never forget the friendships I formed with other patients. My entire trip for everything including airfare was under $5,000!

Thank you doctors, Elke and all the others that made my trip so worthwhile.
