Medical Tourism as a Popular Alternative for Americans
Medical Tourism as a Popular Alternative for Americans
Medical tourism is a popular alternative for Americans to get access to cheaper procedures and to be able to indulge another culture’s lifestyle habits for a differing standard of health and wellness. Popular procedures and interventions overseas include dental care, cosmetic surgery, and therapeutics for mental health. For example, Turkey has been listed as the leading destination for hair transplant surgery with natural looking results in which they utilize direct hair implantation and follicular unit extraction. Other countries offering affordable medical procedures include Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia and Thailand. However, we understand medical tourism can come with risks such as contracting a disease and infection, receiving poor care from the unknown qualifications of overseas providers, and facing communication barriers such as deficiency in the cultures spoken language. Our company’s goal is to make the process easier for the consumer and to minimize the risks by helping to locate trusted and trained professionals whose standards align with three of our core values 1) safe outcomes, 2) clear communication and 3) quality care with satisfactory results.
We understand the safest outcomes can be achieved by having done thorough research in the destination, provider and success rate, which we have done for you. We know that not only is the qualification of the provider important, but also the outcomes of their work. Questions we have kept in mind are: Is the facility reputable with superb standards of care? Is the facility clean and well-kept? Have they provided evidence of safe outcomes from prior patients? What type of complaints have been made against the providers? Has the volume of procedures completed by the provider been more successful than not? Is their equipment up-to-date and in good working condition? Questions like these have been extensively reviewed with each one of our researched facilities to help minimize the potential risks for complications and concerns for you as a foreign traveler.
We understand clear communication can be mitigated by providing you a step-by-step guide to follow to ensure the process will be hassle free and as safe as possible. We will identify the advice tailored to your specific healthcare needs and that you receive the necessary medical treatment before travel. We will ensure you are counseled on what to do during your preoperative and postoperative period to prevent a delay in recovery or wound healing. We understand the potential risks of combining surgical procedures with long flights and activities during your vacation, and will ensure you prevent negative outcomes. We will ensure that you are provided transparent costs breakdown, and the specifics on dates, transportation and housing, while having a person to contact at all times for questions or concerns while you’re in the states and overseas.
We also understand what it means to provide quality care with satisfactory results, which depends solely on trusting the people working for you to make the necessary arrangements. We want to uphold our reputation and only suggest to you a destination where our team would feel safe staying.
