More and more patients across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America are discovering a better way to access the care they need—without long wait times, high out-of-pocket costs, or confusing medical systems.
They’re traveling to Mexico for medical care—and returning home with life-changing results.
If you’re exploring surgery abroad, this step-by-step guide will show you exactly how to plan your trip with My Medical Vacations, and why thousands of patients trust us with their health journey.
Why So Many Are Choosing Medical Travel
In cities from Miami to Toronto, Houston to Vancouver, patients are facing:
- Months-long waitlists for essential procedures
- Prices that are simply unaffordable, even with insurance
- Limited access to specialists for cosmetic, bariatric, or dental work
- Stressful, impersonal experiences in the traditional healthcare system
Medical travel offers an alternative: a safe, high-quality, and fully coordinated experience—at a fraction of the cost.
How to Plan Your Medical Trip in 8 Clear Steps
1. Define Your Procedure and Goals
Start by identifying the treatment you need:
- Cosmetic (tummy tuck, breast lift, facelift)
- Dental (implants, veneers, full restoration)
- Bariatric (gastric sleeve, bypass)
Our team will match you with the right certified specialist.
Helpful Tip: Not sure which procedure is right for you? Our bilingual coordinators offer guidance before you commit.
