Dr. Rigoberto Monestel - Palmares, Costa Rica

I am one of the highly qualified and an expert Oncology – Radiotherapy specialist with an invaluable experience of over 23 years. My residence is in Palmares, Alajuela, Costa Rica. I can fluently communicate with you in English and Spanish. I will be happy to assist you via video and audio online medical consultation.

I provide comprehensive care for patients with a wide range of oncological and radiotherapy-related conditions. My services include cancer prevention counseling, initial oncological evaluations, cancer diagnosis, treatment planning guidance, and long-term follow-up after oncological treatment. I also support patients and families through palliative care, offering symptom control, emotional guidance, and continuity of care at all stages of the disease.

I have extensive experience in the management of oncology and palliative patients, including chronic pain assessment and treatment, post-treatment monitoring, and counseling on therapeutic options. My clinical practice also includes performing invasive procedures for symptom control related to oncological conditions, such as paracentesis, thoracentesis, abscess drainage, and other procedures aimed at improving quality of life. I am known for my compassionate approach, clear communication, and patient-focused decision-making.

You can book a consultation with me through the Dr. Galen platform, where you can expect a respectful, confidential, and supportive experience. During our consultation, I take time to explain diagnoses and treatment options clearly, address concerns from both patients and families, and guide you through the next steps in care with professionalism and empathy.
