Mexico is endearing country of unforgettable images, straddling temperate and tropical zones, reaching 5km into the sky and stretching 10,000km along its coasts. With a city of 19 million people at its center, Mexico never fails to provide activities for all types of travelers. The country is alive with a multi-billion dollar tourism industry - medical, community and ecotourism - which makes significant contribution to Mexico's annual GDP.
Medical tourism to Mexico is growing increasingly popular each year, particularly among American patients. Mexico’s physicians and dentists are well-qualified, with many having trained in the US. The country’s proximity to the US has lead to it become a top destination for Americans in search of quality, affordable medical, cosmetic and dental treatments.
In popular destinations, including Cancun and Cozumel, clinics and hospitals are very modern and feature state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. Many facilities are staffed with English-speaking physicians and medical personnel that are US board certified. Patient rooms typically are quite large and many are private. Many medical tourists comment that their Mexican specialists and staff relate to them much more personally than health professionals in their own countries.
The cost of medical procedures in Mexico averages at 30 to 50 percent of US costs. There are excellent savings in dental procedures as well. Mexico’s well-trained dentists provide high-quality treatment at fees that run approximately one-half of what the same treatment would cost in the US. A root canal procedure combined with a porcelain crown, for example, costs approximately $400USD in Mexico.
