I need to have minor surgery on my foot and I'm having a hard time finding a Podiatrist in Costa Rica. Does anyone know of one anywhere near Alajuela or San Jose?

Interesting question that hasn't been asked here before. Podiatrists seem thin on the ground in CR; I could only find a reference to one doctor and maybe podiatry departments at 2 hospitals. Not a recommendation, just info: http://www.whereismydoctor.com/foot-car ... costa-rica
http://www.costaricayp.com/company/7053 ... T%C3%8DNEZ

Good luck and hope all goes well--I know personally how debilitating feet problems can be.

Perhaps an Orthopedic Surgeon may be a solution.

That's all I found as well after several hours of various Google searches. Thanks!

One of Our Crowd, Bro WordWiz, runs a health travel service http://healthtraveltours.com/ He can help with all aspects of the medical end of a trip (actual travel to/from and hotel choice is your biz; all other arrangements are his). The net cost is the same as if you did it all yourself and he has excellent relationships with doctors and hospitals--give him a shout and see what he can do for you.
