 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Husband went to the clinic in mid March, 2026, he  did not feel well, and was having trouble breathing. We got in to the clinic quickly.  Dr. David and the staff were amazing.  He was willing to take the time to do tests, diagnose, and remedy the problem.  He really did a great job and figured it out.  We appreciate his thoroughness, skills and professionalism.  We would highly recommend him.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On Easter Sunday, our little boy chipped his tooth at a water park and needed emergency dental help while we were on vacation in Costa Rica.  The paramedics at the park called Coco Medical and Dental and they agreed to open up the clinic (at 8pm on Easter Sunday) and see my son.  They took great care of him.  The facility is very nice, and the staff and dentist could not have been nicer and more professional.  I saw two dentists upon returning to the U.S. and they both commented on how amazing of a job the dentist at Coco Medical and Dental did.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Anna Sancho and Dr. Miriam Aviles are the best in the area! They took excellent care of me after an accident, with consistent check ups and clean-ups of my wounds. I never waiting more than 5 minutes after my scheduled appointments to be seen, and each time was treated with extreme care and respect. If I ever need medical attention in the Coco area, I’ll be coming back to Coco Medical Center without a doubt.

The treatment, respect, follow up care and genuine good heartedness shown by all staff was exemplary. We had some unplanned medical issues that required care and this is the place to go!
