As an American expat living in Costa Rica, I have a lot of experience with both US and Costa Rican dentists and today’s dental experience has blown me away. During my appointment, Dr. Sevilla was patient and understanding of my concerns, had a great bedside manner, and made me feel like a human being, not a number. After walking me through several treatment options, we decided on the one I felt most comfortable with. I'm glad I chose Star Dental and have recommended them to all my friends and family."

“At first, I was very nervous about flying to Costa Rica for treatment, but Jerry (Star Patient Advisor) was there helping me every step of the way, from explaining my diagnosis, to booking a hotel, all in perfect English. He was even there in person to pick me up from the airport! I am so happy with my new smile! Oh, and I a saved a lot of money too!” I'm glad I chose Star Dental and have recommended them to all my friends and family."
