Atenas has a small but functional healthcare infrastructure serving its large retiree community. The local CAJA EBAIS clinic handles routine primary care, and several private clinics offer general consultations, blood work, and basic diagnostics. For specialist care, most Atenas residents drive 25–30 minutes to Hospital San Rafael in Alajuela or 45–60 minutes to Hospital CIMA in Escazú via the Route 27 toll highway. The doctors listed below serve the Atenas area and are familiar with the needs of the English-speaking expat community — many have experience with international insurance claims and can coordinate referrals to Central Valley specialists. Consultation fees in Atenas are generally lower than in Escazú or Santa Ana, typically $50–$80 for a general visit.
