COLUMBIA, S.C., March 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Clients of Companion Global
Dental who travel to Costa Rica for care now have a convenient way to see
Costa Rica's volcanoes, national parks, coffee farms, biological reserves and
other breathtaking scenery while awaiting their dental appointments.
Companion Global Dental, a division of Columbia, S.C.-based Companion
Global Healthcare Inc., has affiliated with Tropical Expeditions of Costa Rica
to provide its clients with day or overnight tours of popular attractions.
Clients may schedule tours for before or after completion of dental work, or
between appointments if multiple visits are required over several days.
Companion Global Dental coordinates all arrangements for dental care,
travel and Tropical Expeditions tours.
Companion Global Dental (www.companionglobaldental.com ) affiliated with
Prisma Dental Clinic and Meza Dental Care, both located in San Jose, Costa
Rica, in 2007, as those clinics became the first to join Companion Global
Dental's overseas network. The three key dentists who operate the clinics all
trained in the United States.
Companion Global Dental provides streamlined access to dental clinics
around the world that treat patients at rates lower than those in the United
States. The company serves as a single launch point for appointments, case
management and travel services.
Tropical Expeditions (www.tropicalexpeditionsofcostarica.com ) specializes
in tours for medical patients. Tours, including white-water rafting, waterfall
excursions, rain forest tours and more, are led by English-speaking guides
certified in first aid and CPR.
"Many Americans who travel for affordable dental treatment want to combine
sight-seeing with their clinical care, and our agreement with Tropical
Expeditions allows our clients to do that with one phone call," said Phil
Midden, Companion Global Dental's manager of operations. "Costa Rica is a
beautiful country, and our clients will be able to take in its sights and
obtain dental care at an affordable, all-inclusive price."

and employer groups that wish to include an overseas option in their benefit
