Traveling to another country to have surgery can be a rewarding, economical, and educational experience. It also presents its own set of problems and requires careful consideration. There is a lot of planning that is only prudent for anyone who is entertaining the idea. You, the patient, have to make your own decisions. There are a multitude of options to contemplate.
It is our business to help you in the process. We want to present to you options and will only make suggestions in your best interest. Our specialty markets are Brazil and the United States. We know these markets and will speak frankly to you on what options make sense and what don’t. If these markets can’t offer you a safe and economical solution we will be the first to let you know. For many procedures Brazil is the best choice.
Rio De Janerio has enjoyed a spectacular reputation as the capital of the world in Plastic Surgery in the number of procedures and quality thereof. We have discovered another city in Brazil, namely Goiania, that offers an economic advantage over larger cities, and that houses the very finest Doctors in at least three categories including Gastro-Intestine Bypass, Eye Treatment, and Cosmetic surgery. We have sought out the very best Surgeons in these three categories and offer them as suggestions for those who choose us as their facilitators.
Why Brazil? Three major reasons including the obvious: economy. Have you ever had a negative experience with Doctors in the United States treating you badly or simply as a number or just another patient? Speaking generally the Doctors in the U.S. have a lot of competition to get your business which drives down prices and creates a need to “push through” more patients. Secondly the United States is a letigious society and Doctors are timid and resentful even to the point of seeing the patient like an enemy. In Brazil the culture is different. They don’t sue one another as frequently as we do and there specialties are more regulated by government making the competition among the doctors less intense. Simply stated you, the patient, are very important, cared for, and cared about. And the final reason Brazil is a good choice is the competence of the Doctors. At the higher levels they rank with the best in the world.
Brazil is able to offer you the same exact care as (in most cases at a level that even exceeds) you are used to at much cheaper prices abroad due to 2 major factors:
- The value of US/Brazilian currency is higher overseas – a higher exchange rate will get more value for your money
- Operating costs for Doctors and Hospitals in Brazil are much lower than those in United States
Hospitals are commonly internationally accredited – privately owned, clean, well equipped, even luxurious by American standards. An increasing number of these hospitals have special wings set up just to cater to International patients.
The low cost of treatment in Brazil often allows an American patient the opportunity to receive medical care in an exotic location, enjoy a vacation, recover in a four or five-star resort, and return home having spent considerably less than what the procedure would have cost in the United States.
