I am staying at Reserva Conchal and on Monday evening I got a fish bone stuck in my throat (at Angelina's Restaurant in Playa Flamingo). The Emergency Medical Services "clinic" in Huacas sent me to Liberia today to see Dr. Granera. He examined me in his clinic office (at the location you describe), but had to take me to his hospital office where he had the equipment needed to dislodge and remove the fish bone. He spent at least 90 minutes with us. I paid the 30,000 colones fee and expected to pay lots more at the hospital. But, no. Dr. Granera said the 30,000 covered everything. I believe the attention and services I received today would have cost over $1,500 in US. By the way, Liberia has a 120 bed hospital that is very clean and well-staffed, with modern equipment. Beware the whole cooked unboned fish. Mine was the red snapper. Dr. told me he gets at least one fish bone in throat case every week. Thanks for your recommendation.

Probably worth the price -- not always the case in the US. Glad to hear the doctor there had success. Probably worth the price — not always the case in the US.
