Affordable Radiosurgery in Monterrey – Affordable, High Tech Cancer Care in Mexico

Medical Travel, also known as Medical Tourism, is not only helping tens of thousands to get a fresher new look with affordable plastic surgery abroad, but it also keeps growing into services that were never before thought possible. A specific area which is often overlooked is cancer care. Although going overseas for plastic surgery or weight loss procedures can help you save around 50%, the pricing differential in non-elective procedures such as tumor removal surgeries or radiotherapy is even greater.

As an emerging medical travel destination, the city of Monterrey, Mexico everyday offers more interesting healthcare specialties at its four JCI-accredited hospitals with an army of US-trained doctors. Such is also the case of cancer care. Not only have the top oncologists teamed together to form cancer-specialized centers, but also the equipment they manage is increasingly sophisticated. Heather Wicklow, Manager at Travel for Care, a local medical travel firm states “We are giving great focus to the market for non-elective procedures since our top-notch providers are extremely competitive not only in price but in quality and sophistication.”

A good example is how Travel For Care has assembled a specialized team of oncologists and neurosurgeons that are able to treat not only patients needing conventional radiotherapy, but most importantly brain tumors with stereotaxic radiosurgery. Headed by Dr. Cuauhtémoc De La Peña, based out of Hospital San Jose TEC (JCI-accredited) and equipped with a SIEMENS 10MeV Linear Accelerator with Brainlab planning systems, the team is ready for foreign patients that arrive and are thoroughly tested on day 1, get surgery on day 2, and leave on day 3. All costing around $17,000 while back home in the US it would go for over $40,000. A city so far known for business and manufacturing is on track to become a medical travel hub serving thousands of uninsured and under-insured Americans.

Hospital San José TEC de Monterrey is one of Monterrey’s best regarded healthcare institutions, accredited by the Joint Commission International, and part of the Monterrey TEC, Mexico’s largest private education system. For more information, please visit www.hsj.com.mx

Affordable Hip Replacement Surgery in Monterrey Opens Great Opportunities to US Uninsured and Canadians in Waiting Lists

Medical Travel keeps growing and opening opportunities for individuals searching for fair priced healthcare. Although going overseas for plastic surgery or weight loss procedures can help you save around 50%, the pricing differential in non-elective procedures such as a hip replacement are even greater.

As Mexico’s healthcare capital, Monterrey has four Joint Commission International accredited hospitals and a myriad of US-trained surgeons that have begun to shift their focus towards a more American and Canadian client segment. Gabriel Senior, General Manager at Travel for Care, a local medical travel firm states “Everyday we listen to stories of Americans defaulting on their loans because of healthcare-related expenses, while the option of coming to Mexico and saving about two thirds is straightforward.”

As Dr. Jose Fernando De La Garza, founder of ORTHO, a group of professional orthopedists that use Hospital San Jose TEC as their home base, points out: “Our group of experienced specialists and the state-of-the-art technology found in this institution allow us to offer top care while still at a fraction of the price found back in the US.” The total hip replacement surgery which regularly exceeds $40,000 in the U.S. is only $14,317 in one of Mexico’s best hospitals, Hospital San José TEC. Less renown hospitals are able to offer even more attractive prices in the $10,000 range. A place so far known well for business is on track to become a medical travel hub.
