North Americans do not have to settle for high costs or government regulations and wait times often associated with their domestic healthcare; there is a better, less expensive and more enjoyable option.

World Institute of Surgical Excellence, “WISE”, is a Costa Rican company that is owned and managed by a group of North Americans who saw a need for a solution to the broken healthcare systems that exists in the United States and Canada. Between the outrageous costs experienced in the United States and the wait times that are inherent in Canada, the original purpose and sentiment of medicine, which was to take care of the patient in a timely manner without putting them in debt, is lost. For this reason, WISE carefully and strategically positioned their operations in Costa Rica so that their patients are able to receive world class healthcare in Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited facilities, by globally renowned surgeons and recuperate in tropical paradise with an average of 70% savings, when compared to the cost of having any given procedure or treatment performed at home.

WISE put together an all-encompassing healthcare cluster to serve their patients that consists of three JCI accredited hospitals and three AAAASF accredited facilities including a full-service ambulatory surgery center and state-of-the-art dental clinics. The providers within WISE’s network are able to handle any procedure that would be performed in a hospital or ambulatory center in the US and according to the World Health Organization, the quality of care received for WISE patients in Costa Rica is superior to that of the United States.

In order to maintain the face-to-face interaction that is vital to medicine, WISE currently has 24 offices in the United States, with plans to open a total of 216 total offices throughout North America, to allow for the personal care and attention needed when prospective WISE patients are planning their medical or dental trip to Costa Rica.

It is WISE’s goal to make quality medicine available and affordable to all North Americans. Even though there is an average of 70% savings experienced for each procedure that WISE offers, there are still patients whom are unable to afford any out-of-pocket expense; for this reason, WISE has both financing and funding options available to all of their prospective patients.

When a WISE patient arrives in Costa Rica, they are greeted with an orchid at the airport by WISE Chief Operating Officer, Leslie McAleese or a member of her team. Leslie prides herself on being able to send each WISE patient safely home as a “raving fan” of their experience in Costa Rica. A WISE patient’s stay includes accommodations at a beautiful recovery center with a 24 hour, English speaking nurse, canopy tours, beach days, volcano tours, and many other opportunities in addition to the superior quality of medical or dental care that they receive.

Once a WISE patient returns home from their medical or dental trip in Costa Rica, they receive gifts like Costa Rican coffee, skin care products, and more in the mail from WISE every two months for the rest of their lives. WISE says this is their way of saying “thank you for trusting us with your healthcare experience”.
