Prospective patients are advised to shiop around for airfares; you can get seasonal bargains and unadvertised specials. Today, for example, using AirFareWatchDog.com, I see roundtrip flights to San Jose from Chicago at $236; from Los Angeles at $249; from New York at $288 on Mexicana. No doubt there are some restrictions; but good fares can be found.

We have no comment on the political controversy, but we appreciate the recognition of the quality of health care in Costa Rica. Mr. Limbaugh is welcome to stop by Prisma Dental for a checkup any time.

Costa Rica’s International Festival of the Arts starts tomorrow! Artists from all over the world will be singing, dancing and telling tales inside dozens of the theaters in San Jose, Alajuela and Limon and outside in Parque La Sabana in San Jose.

Patients wishing to investigate cures for their chronic snoring or sleep apnea conditions are urged to contact the clinic directly.

Prisma Dental is featured in the November issue of Delta Sky, the in-flight magazine of Delta Airlines. Writer Abby Ellin did a great feature:

Passport // Medical Tourism: Health Care Goes Global

… on pages 112 — 119 of the magazine. Josef and Telma are the only dentists featured in this article that covers international healthcare around the globe, from India and Thailand to Europe to Central and South America.

Delta Sky is available online at http://deltaskymag.delta.com. Click on this months issue; it will display in a browsable edition. You can fast-forward to page 112 using the slider bar at the bottom of the page.

The Apartotel Cristina in San Jose is offering, for a limited time, a substantial discount on suites for Prisma Dental patients. The Cristina is a lovely, modern and secure hotel near la Sabana, the “Central Park” of San Jose. It is a short cab ride from the Prisma Dental; but many patients stay there and choose to enjoy the walk to the clinic instead of being driven.

The No. 1 medical tourism dental site in the world, according to Alexa.com, is Prisma Dental. Alexa is probably the top company for measuring global Internet traffic.

Prospective dental patients at Prisma are urged always to contact the office and schedule appointments before making final travel arrangements.

It is a fine thing to be able to write directly from Costa Rica, with the bustle of Prisma Dental all around me. It is the rainy season here but we are having wind rather than rain. Everyone complains about it. That’s what weather is for, right?

We hope and trust that Demi Moore had a great dentist, and want to let her know she and Ashton would be very welcome to stop in for a checkup at Prisma Dental the next time they are in Costa Rica!
