Specialized consultation and surgery
Your well-being, as well as that of your family, employees, or associates, is a priority for us. For this reason, we offer a wide range of specialized services designed to prevent, address, and/or detect potential health conditions at any stage of life.
Peripheral Vascular Medicine
Our specialists prevent, diagnose and treat — medically and surgically — diseases of the arteries, veins and lymphatic system throughout the body, except the heart and brain. This includes aortic disease, peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, lymphedema, diabetic foot and leg ulcers.
Vein Clinic
We provide exceptional medical care to those with various stages of venous disease, including varicose veins, spider veins (telangiectasias), and ulcers. We treat all types of varicose veins, regardless of their severity or morphology, using a range of cutting-edge techniques tailored to each individual case.
Lipedema clinic
Lipedema is a chronic disease of the adipose tissue that primarily affects women. It may be accompanied by pain, a feeling of heaviness, sensitivity to touch, swelling, and frequent bruising. At Vascumed, we offer specialized, multidisciplinary care to establish an accurate diagnosis and design an individualized treatment plan tailored to the patient's needs.
Diagnostic Imaging
We specialize in vascular ultrasound (Doppler). This non-invasive test shows blood flow in real time and detects blockages or abnormalities, for an accurate and timely diagnosis.
Cardiology
Our cardiologists prevent, diagnose and treat diseases of the heart and blood vessels, using advanced technology and working alongside our multidisciplinary team.
Physical Therapy
Our rehabilitation services help you regain full mobility and function after an injury, illness or surgery. We work closely with other specialties and design an individual program for each patient.
Nutrition
Our nutritionists understand how the body uses nutrients at each stage of life and how diet can support the treatment of many diseases. They design personalized eating plans for each patient's needs.
Gynecology and Obstetrics
We care for women's health at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. This includes pregnancy and childbirth, family planning, urinary incontinence, and the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of reproductive health conditions.
General Surgery
We diagnose and surgically treat a wide range of conditions using advanced technology for precision and safety. Procedures include hernia repair, appendectomy and gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy), often with laparoscopic techniques for a faster recovery.
Minor Surgery
Outpatient procedures under local anesthesia with a low risk of complications, such as ingrown toenail treatment, wart removal, excision of cysts and lipomas, wound suturing, suture removal and biopsies.
Podiatry
From common foot problems to complex conditions, we care for your feet to keep them healthy and comfortable.
General Medicine
Primary care consultations to detect, treat and prevent common illnesses, plus vaccinations, healthy-lifestyle guidance and ongoing clinical follow-up.
Wound, Ulcer and Diabetic Foot Clinic
This is a specialized clinic offering a comprehensive approach to the treatment of wounds, ulcers, and diabetic foot. These conditions require specialized care to prevent serious complications. Our team of experts, led by vascular surgeon Dr. Lorena Grillo, is dedicated to providing advanced, personalized treatments that promote effective healing and improve our patients' quality of life.
We use the latest medical technologies and techniques to ensure a quick and safe recovery.
Lymphedema Clinic
At our lymphedema clinic, we specialize in the diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of this chronic condition, which affects the lymphatic system and leads to fluid accumulation and swelling in the limbs. We offer advanced therapies—including manual lymphatic drainage, compression bandaging, skin care, and personalized exercise programs—designed to improve drainage and reduce symptoms. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that every patient receives treatment tailored to their specific needs, with the goal of enhancing their quality of life and preventing long-term complications.
Advanced Multidisciplinary Post-Op Care
The weeks after surgery are critical to a good recovery. We provide detailed, personalized follow-up to make sure your incision heals properly, prevent complications and catch any sign of infection early. Our team adjusts your care as needed so you can return to your activities with confidence and the best long-term results.
Thanks to VASCUMED’s multidisciplinary approach, we are able to provide high-quality services across any specialty that a patient may require.
Many patients who have surgery in Costa Rica's public health system face long waits for follow-up appointments; we fill that gap with timely post-operative support.
Our commitment is to be with you at every stage of your recovery, with a caring, professional approach.
"I have been Dr. Grillo's patient for four months. I came to her on a recommendation, in very poor health after being treated by another specialist. From the very first visit she addressed my condition with great expertise and immediate action, and my health has improved considerably. Beyond her knowledge and skill, she treats her patients with real commitment and respect."
