BAHIA BALLENA DOCTORS NEW LOCATION

Author: Dr. Mónica Alfaro –

It has been almost 12 years since our first visit to Costa Ballena. We decided to move here and fell in love with the area and the life we have made. My work as a physician, both as a General Practitioner and as a Medical Aesthetic provider, has allowed me to meet hundreds if not thousands of patients over these years, most of whom visit my office regularly.

Hotel Cuna del Angel has been a wonderful place for a medical practice, comfortable, private, and in a beautiful surrounding. I have been able to practice medicine and stay close to the tourism industry, which I had also worked on years ago. Nonetheless, the time has come to allow myself and my practice to grow, as everything in our community is too.

This new phase holds many new opportunities at our new facility at Plaza Ventanas where we will broaden the services offered South of Uvita. for providing better services to my patients and meeting new ones. This newly renovated shopping and commercial center allow me to offer a larger, more comfortable environment for my patients with the possibility of new services soon.

A full-on office with the waiting room, an office, and a separate procedure room, all areas air-conditioned, I am sure will help you feel welcome, comfortable, safe, and cared for. Parking right in front of the office and wheelchair access are also benefits of this new space and many additional services offered at Plaza Ventanas like a Farmacia Plaza Ventanas, two restaurants, a boutique, dental services, lawyers, real estate, and many more.
