Greetings!   
 
Christopher Howard's Health Vacations and Tours and Medical Referral Service.
 
Due to a growing number of requests from my clients for doctors and dentists I have decided to offer a new service. During the 32 years that I have lived here I have personally had the opportunity to benefit directly from Costa Rica's excellent health care system. I have had nothing but good experiences with the country's dentists and doctors and will only recommend professionals who I personally know and/or have treated me.

You will feel comfortable knowing that you will receive the best possible care while visiting Costa Rica from the professionals I recommend. In case you don't know, Costa Ricans have one of the highest life expectancies in the world due the quality of the country's medical care and their lifestyle. In fact, if a Costa Ricans reaches 80 years old they have the HIGHEST life expectancy from then on.

Now you can come here to have a procedure done and Christopher will take care of everything. You might even want to combine a retirement tour or site seeing with your procedure, if possible.
