Many people who contact Taqtik Health have heard about the advantages of traveling internationally to get their orthopedic medical services.
However, they often have questions about the overall cost, including travel expenses, quality of service, schedule availability, and perhaps most importantly, the quality of the orthopedic doctor and staff.
In this article, we’ll consider some of the often-overlooked benefits that may convince you that traveling internationally to work with some of our world-class orthopedic specialists is a great idea.
For many people, potential price savings is a key issue that causes them to reach out to us. And in fact, depending on the orthopedic procedure, you can often expect to benefit by working with us.
But beyond just price, there are many other benefits to consider. For example, our foreign hospitals are much more willing to give accurate quotes upfront, prior to your orthopedic surgery.
Good luck asking a western hospital what your final bill will be upfront. As you likely know, they can often be evasive, vague, and avoid committing to a fixed price.
But in foreign hospitals, they often offer set packages that cap the total cost. And it’s this openness that enables you to better compare your options across multiple countries.
But no matter what, you can be assured that any orthopedic medical procedure will be lower than a domestic-based hospital.
Beyond the basic costs for the orthopedic doctor, you should also expect to enjoy superior service during your visit.
For example, tasks typically delegated to low-level medical assistants in western hospitals are usually performed by highly-trained orthopedic medical professionals abroad.
Instead of being told where to go to get your medications or to see another orthopedic doctor, you can expect to be personally escorted.
That’s because while western orthopedic specialists are usually over-booked, rushing in and out to the next patient, doctors in the major international hospitals have a much more reasonable work schedule and have a greater focus on spending quality time with each patient.
And if you need to stay overnight in the hospital, you’ll be amazed at the quality of the rooms and service, which often seem more like a hotel suite than a traditional hospital room.
And if you’re concerned that because something is cheaper then it must be lower quality, nothing could be further from the truth with our international orthopedic professionals
While the orthopedists you may see in your home country are typically “average,” those you’ll see in International medical hubs are often much better
Most are trained in the US or Western Europe and find that working in their home countries allows them to spend more time focused on developing their orthopedic medical skills compared to the overworked and frenzied environment their western counterparts have to endure.
Also, by traveling internationally for your orthopedic procedure, you’ll have quicker access to the medical services you need.
For example, in the US, you may have to wait months for your orthopedic surgery. And in Canada or the UK, you may have to wait 1-3 years!
However, by traveling internationally, most orthopedic procedures can be conducted within a few days of arriving.
Lastly, if you’re recovering from orthopedic surgery, why sit at home when you could be recovering in one of the most beautiful vacation locations in the world?
And if your family comes with you, many of the hospitals have travel agents that will arrange fun getaways to the beach and other adventures.
Moreover, given the money you can save on the orthopedic procedure, your vacation will still be cheaper than having the services done at home!
