"Public roll" is the Colegio de Cirujanos Dentistas de Costa Rica's own register, searched by name. A row is filled only when exactly one registered dentist matches every part of the name the clinic prints; status and specialty are the Colegio's words. Search the roll yourself.

A number shown on a clinic's site is a claim until it is looked up. Costa Rican dentists must be incorporated in the Colegio de Cirujanos Dentistas, whose public roll is searchable by name or code and shows each dentist's status and registered specialty. Physicians are listed by the Colegio de Médicos y Cirujanos. Colegio de Cirujanos Dentistas de Costa Rica.
