Nowadays with the boom in cosmetic surgery and advances in communications, getting the best treatment at the best price is just a matter of being well informed and demanding. Puerto Vallarta is the tourist destination which is best positioned on a national level for medical tourism. The cornerstone is having at its disposal hospitals with advanced infrastructure for high-level procedures.
In this last decade, doctors specialized in various areas have focused on foreign patients, despite the fact that rates in the United States have been modified, making them more accessible. Despite intensive advertising campaigns against medical tourism from the US to other countries for surgeries, the trend continues to grow, mainly fueled by personal recommendations of one hundred percent satisfied patients.
If you are planning on, or are interested in surgery, we recommend you verify that you are considering a certified doctor. Most of the doctors in Puerto Vallarta are constantly improving their knowledge and are in constant training and specialization. The prestigious hospitals in Vallarta demand specialists that meet all the necessary requirements. Many of these doctors are continuously performing operations in the United States and are certified by the American College of Surgeons.
In many cases, the rates can be up to 50% cheaper in Mexico compared to the best rates in the USA. Other destinations besides Mexico which offer these services include Argentina, Brazil, and Vietnam, and they are in constant competition.
The benefit of this competition is more accessible prices, but you must analyze all the different possibilities, take the risks and benefits each place has to offer into account. Take a medical exam before the trip and consider postoperative care and the subsequent checkups after the operation and recovery.
Currently, more and more tourists decide to travel to Mexico in search of something more than just sun, beaches and Tequila. One of Mexico’s main advantages is the quality of the local hospitals, the quality of the service, the presence of alternative treatments, the experience of all the qualified professionals, and of course the price difference in relation to the cost of these treatments in their home countries.
