Testimonials

It would take writing a novel to list all the good things about Andi's place. I stayed there for ten days in July for an abdominal procedure. The care was EXCELLENT, the food was EXCELLENT, the staff was EXCELLENT and Andie is like a long lost friend you already know.

The retreat is located very close to Rosenstock clinic (about a ten minute drive). The drivers she employs are extremely dependable and knowledgeable. The house is in a good location and the rooms are well equipped for recovery care. There are hospital beds, mini fridges, tvs, dvd players, phones, hospital tray tables, all the necessities and alot of little extras you don't even thing about (dvd collection, books, etc). Everything is very clean and well attended. There is internet with free us phone calls in and out (be aware, internet does sometimes go down in costa rica and thus the us phone line will go down too). The food is delicious and they were very flexible with preparing what I liked. When I needed comfort food, they made a better grilled cheese than I can make at home. The landscaping is beautiful. Never had to worry about coming or going or getting somewhere, Andie takes care of all that so you can just recover. If you go early or stay late, the drivers and/or Andie can arrange personal tours that suit your abilities/restrictions. The whole group has a very good working relationship with the clinic which can come in handy if you get sick, as Andie can get them quickly and have you taken care of in a hurry.

One advantage I think Andie has to some of the other retreats, is that she is a patient herself and has been through the recovery process. She is also an American and understands the unique needs/fears of having your procedure done in a foreign country.

This was the second time I have used Rosenstock clinic. First time I had breast augmentation with lift (about two years ago). This time I had revision of a nasty csection scar and lipo. I have nothing but good things to say about them and I checked around thoroughly before deciding on a surgeon. I would have no qualms about returning if I needed to.

I am a nurse and my newly ex-husband is a physician and he spoke with both docs prior to my procedures and felt very comfortable with their plan of care.

After my surgery, Andi and her staff provided a caring, warm and friendly environment which made my recovery in a foreign country a pleasure.

I was sorry to leave!
