U.S.-Canadian Team Near Cancun Conducting Surgery Trips for Medical Tourists
Many Americans and Canadians are discovering world-class medical care at substantial savings - beyond their own borders. Medical Traveler Yucatan (MTY) www.medicaltraveleryucatan.com is an American-Canadian managed medical tourism service located near Cancun in Merida, Yucatan. MTY arranges and oversees all medical and non-medical details for surgery and travel. Unique in its approach, the U.S.-Canadian team meets patients at the airport and accompanies them throughout their medical stay.
Merida, Mexico, June 23, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Launched by an American-Canadian team living and working in Merida - near Cancun - Medical Traveler Yucatan (MTY) www.medicaltraveleryucatan.com provides all-inclusive organizing of medical procedures and medical tourism trip services for their fellow countrymen. Surgery is scheduled in a timely fashion at a world-class hospital and at substantial savings. The MTY team coordinates and oversees all hospital and medical surgery trip details in person. Unique in its approach, the U.S.-Canadian team meets patients at the airport and accompanies them throughout their medical stay.
Merida resident and American Alan Graham, the founder and director of MTY and former non-profit executive states, “It just doesn’t make good sense, health-wise and money-wise for patients to be deprived of a new heart valve or shoulder surgery. Or pay two to four times what they should for gastric bypass surgery or a face-lift or dental veneers, when Merida is less than a 2-hour non-stop flight from Houston or Miami.”
MTY matches medical travelers with board certified, English-speaking surgeons who have had training, continuing education, or affiliations in the United States. And MTY conducts consumer evaluations of the selected hospital to insure superior medical care for patients.
Patients traveling to Merida for medical care through MTY can expect substantial savings of 35% - 75%. Medical travelers discover that they are informed of hospital and surgery costs – before they decide on their surgical trip. Since the American-Canadian MTY team is located in Merida, the company has the advantage of maintaining personal contact with hospital administrators and individual doctors.
Continues Graham, “Here in Merida our close relationships allow us to be effective in negotiating the very best surgery and hospital fees for our patients – without sacrificing the highest level of medical quality.” Besides authoring a series of articles on medical tourism, Graham has received all of his medical and dental care here in Merida, Yucatan - including major surgery – for the last half-decade.
MTY team members make all medical arrangements, in-person. Patients can expect their experience in cosmetic, weight loss, orthopedic, oncology, cardiovascular, fertility, vision, or dental procedures to be equal to – and usually better than at home. And MTY also coordinates non-medical arrangements including transportation, hotel, patient monitoring, communicating with patient’s family, and meeting special needs. Patients are met at the airport by their countrymen who accompany them throughout their medical stay.
Medical tourism is growing by more than 30% each year. By 2015 it is estimated that between 10 and 20 million Americans and Canadians will travel outside of their country for medical care.
Medical Traveler Yucatan is partnered with Merida’s Star Medica Hospital, a new state of the art, pristine, high-tech facility. It is the number one choice for thousands of Canadians and Americans who live in Merida. Star Medica is a current applicant for the prestigious JCI-accreditation.
As for safety, patients can be secure in the fact that Merida, with a metropolitan area of just over a million (including the nearly 10,000 Americans and Canadians who live in Merida and the state of Yucatan), enjoys a reputation as being a very safe city. Merida’s distinct geographic advantage – far away from the violence of other North American cities - contributes to its standing as a city where you can still stroll the streets at night.
Medical Traveler Yucatan (MTY) is located in Merida, Yucatan near Cancun and is a quick flight from most U.S. and Canadian cities. Quality care, substantial savings, safety, and easy access make medical trips to Merida a practical decision. This, combined with the fact that MTY’s U.S.- Canadian team is on-location at the patient’s destination, presents new options to Americans and Canadians seeking sound medical solutions.
