About
Hospital San Carlos refers to a significant healthcare presence in the San Carlos region of Costa Rica. While there is a public "Hospital de San Carlos" which is part of the CCSS network (the public health system), the most detailed and readily available information often pertains to the Hospital Metropolitano • San Carlos branch, which is a private facility. Hospital Metropolitano • San Carlos, located in the El Encuentro Shopping Center in Ciudad Quesada, San Carlos, is a modern private hospital known for its comprehensive services and focus on patient satisfaction. It offers a wide array of medical and surgical specialties, supported by advanced equipment and a large team of medical professionals. The hospital operates 24/7 for emergencies and provides outpatient consultations, diagnostic imaging (including CT scans, mammography, and ultrasounds), laboratory services, a pharmacy, and hospitalization. It aims to adhere to high international standards of quality, emphasizing patient safety and comfort with private rooms and modern operating facilities. Its affiliation with the broader Hospital Metropolitano network in Costa Rica allows it to leverage extensive resources and specialized centers, including a Cardiovascular Center of Excellence, Cancer and Hematology Center, and Rheumatology Center. This makes it a crucial private healthcare option for both local residents and visitors in the Northern Zone of Costa Rica.

Orthopedic/Knee Surgery
Orthopedics deals with the bones, joints, muscles, and spine — treating everything from a worn-out knee or hip to sports injuries, slipped discs, and scoliosis. When pain limits your daily life, surgery can restore it. International hospitals in India, Thailand, and Malaysia offer knee replacements, hip replacements, spinal procedures, and ACL repairs using the same Zimmer Biomet and Stryker implants found in top US hospitals — often with robotic-assisted surgical systems — at 60–75% lower cost, and without the 12–18 month NHS waiting lists.
Obesity/Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery permanently changes the size and structure of the stomach — and in some cases the digestive pathway — to help people with severe obesity eat less, absorb fewer calories, and lose weight in a way that diet and exercise alone haven't achieved. It's also one of the most effective treatments for obesity-related conditions like Type 2 diabetes and sleep apnoea. In the US, the procedure costs $20,000–$30,000 and is often not covered by insurance. In Mexico, India, or Turkey, the same surgery — laparoscopic, in an accredited hospital, with a full support programme — runs $4,000–$8,000.
Neurology
Diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system to improve neurological health.
