Globalized Healthcare

You will need a valid passport to re-enter the United States. Some countries require visa's to enter their country. We work with special passport and visa agencies to expedite your needed documents in as little as 24-72 hrs, depending on your travel destination. To find out the passport or visa requirements for your area, please contact us.

Our website contains a list of the most common medical procedures. Due to size considerations, this list does not include all of the medical care that can be provided by the medical centers in our network. Please contact us if you need a medical procedure that is not listed in our website.

We have made sure that English-speaking staff are at your disposal during your trip. This will include hospital staff, doctors, hotel personnel, etc.

You will have to recover enough so that your doctor abroad can clear you for travel back home. The time spent recovering in our partner hospitals abroad is typically much longer than what you have come to expect in the US. In addition, often times you are required to spend some time in a hotel after hospital discharge so that by the time you are cleared to return back home any risk of post surgery complications has been greatly reduced. Frequently post surgery follow up once you are back home is required. When and how frequent this follow-up occurs varies greatly depending on your specific case. We encourage you to keep your US primary care physician and/or specialist abreast of all of your medical tourism activities, including following up with them upon your return home. We will assist you in this by answering any questions that you or your US doctor may have. In some cases, we even have formal partnerships with US doctors.

The doctors that we work with cannot exclude complications in the same way that the U.S. doctors cannot. However, you will be provided with excellent care to prevent these complications in the first place. Should any complications occur while you are abroad, you will already are in a full tertiary care hospital, where all medical areas are represented. We don't have partnerships with small private clinics for this reason: should something go wrong during surgery, these private clinics often times would have to transport you a 'real' hospital.

Honest and open communications are very important to us, so we would never claim that there are no risks when undergoing a medical procedure. What we do say is that by working with only very high quality institutions and doctors we strive to ensure that the level of risk is no greater than if you were treated in the US. It still is important for you to do your own research based on the options that we present to you so that you can make an informed final decision.

The cost savings can be from 25% up to 90%. Please ask for cost comparison for the surgery you are interested in.

Patients are traveling because of the high quality of Globalized healthcare, affordability, access of care or better availability.

Medical Tourism is where people who live in one country travel to another location or country to receive medical, dental and surgical care while at the same time receiving equal to or greater care than they would have in their own local area, and are traveling for medical care because of affordability, better access to care or a higher level of quality of care.
