San Jose, Costa Rica: October 19, 2015 – Dr. Paulo César Quirós, a dermatologist working in Costa Rica, recently saw a South Carolina lady in his UNIBE Hospital offices. In August 2015 she sent an e-mail to NC Medical Travel, saying she had a worrisome area on her skin and wanted to see a dermatologist very soon. However, she had lots of questions. Her questions were answered and she was promptly scheduled to see a dermatologist. She made her flight bookings, and within a month (in September 2015) she was met at the airport by American-born staff of NC Medical Travel.
While this lady (a member of Samaritan Ministries) was in Costa Rica, she decided it was a good idea to get a wide range of diagnostic tests. In a mere two half-days she got blood tests, a physical, a colonoscopy, a mammogram, a dermatologist visit, and a PAP smear. Afterwards, she enjoyed two and half days of tours.

She was impressed by Dr. Quirós in a few ways. First, he was professional and spoke reasonable English. Second, his high-tech solutions (liquid nitrogen) were interesting to see. Third, his treatments were refreshingly simple and very fast and efficient. (She was in and out in less than 45 minutes...I was there.)
Fourthly, she was also impressed that her dermatologist did not waste her time with unnecessary biopsies or similar procedures. Sure, a biopsy was an option, but it was better for the patient to just simply treat the questionable areas instead of waiting.
Fifth, and perhaps most impressive, Dr. Quirós went above and beyond for the good of his patient(s). The lady from South Carolina arrived about two hours late to UNIBE due to flight delays. She had missed her dermatology appointment. Dr. Quirós had had to leave and go to another hospital in the area (where he also sees patients) for the good of that patient. Then, once the South Carolina lady was confirmed at UNIBE, he rushed across the city for her benefit. And quite simply, that experience made her whole trip outstanding.

Dr. Quirós began his training in Costa Rica (UNIBE) and specialized in dermatology in Guatemala (Instituto de Dermataologia y Cirugia de Piel). He is certified by the (Costa Rican) National Congress of Medicine. He received an award from the 15th Latin American Congress of Dermatology in 2006. He has been practicing his specialization since 2007, although he was a general physician beginning 2001.
