Anybody have knowledge of how much for a lady to get fixed at one of the private hospitals? Any doc recommendations?

I'm not getting good vibes from this post!

If it doesn't need to be permanent, look into implanon. It is a small rod they put in the arm and prevents pregnancy for 3-10 years. It is much less invasive than tying tubes.

Thank you both very much for good info.

In our case the doctor was quite adamant because of her age (36) that he did not want to go that route. Safety being a primary concern. He recommended an IUD (Te Cobre or copper "T"). Cost is $800 at our doctor & it's good for at least 5 years. Needs to be inserted just after she starts her period so that the cervix is opened.

Thanks to your tips, I found Dr Fournier, private clinic with privileges at several of the Hospitals including CIMA, the godfather of the OB-GYN's in CR, about 75 years old but still looks great, US Board certified. In fact the only one that I found that was US OB-GYN board certified.
