Our physicians and health care coordinators have extensive, hands on experience working with doctors and hospitals throughout Mexico. We began developing our network of Mexico’s finest doctors and hospitals in 2000 by conducting personal interviews and educational background checks on more than 700 Mexican doctors and inspecting over 80 private hospitals. We spent 6 years researching the Mexican healthcare system before we referred our first patient for surgery in February of 2006. As a result, if you decide to let MedToGo coordinate your surgery or medical service in Mexico, you can be assured that you will be working with the country’s finest doctors and institutions.

You will have also hired a team of U.S. physicians and health care and coordinators that will oversee your care and serve as your advocate while you are in Mexico. You will not be alone. Your safety and peace of mind are our primary concern. Furthermore, we can offer you complete healthcare packages with up to 75% off the price of a comparable experience in the U.S.-without a compromise in quality.

• Our physicians meet and hold personal interviews with all Mexican physicians.
• We verify the doctor’s educational experience and credentials, including board certification and licensing.
• We request and check professional references and assess a doctor’s local reputation through various professional and personal resources. Doctors must be in good standing with their community and hospitals. There must be no history of current or repeated legal malpractice.
• We review physician resumés and give preference to physicians who have been consistent with continuing medical education, who are active in their medical societies and who have been entrusted with leadership roles within their institutions.
• We examine evidence of their surgical success rates.
• Prior to including a surgeon or physician into our program, we attend his/her operations to evaluate competence and skill.

But if you hire MedToGo we will not only provide you with a selection of Mexico’s finest health care providers and coordinate your procedure, we will also be your advocates while you are abroad and not rest until have returned home.

Your Mexican hospital and doctor compensates MedToGo for marketing services, and MedToGo does not add additional fees to the cost of your package. MedToGo does not accept cash incentives or alterations in compensation from physicians or hospitals. This ensures that our recommendations are unbiased and based solely on our experience and quality assessment.

Principal factors to me were the safety and cost of the procedure. Considering both I had decided to learn more about where I would go, what the hospital was like and what MedToGo knew about the surgeon. I concluded that the care offered through their Medical Tourism program was just as good as anything in the U.S. or Canada. I additionally took comfort in MedToGo’s course of research over the years of Mexican health care and in their relationship with this hospital’s administrator and surgeons. Upon making my decision, Dr. Page prepared my medical records and set the appointment for me to meet the hospital administrator and surgeon.

My inability to speak a word of Spanish was initially a concern for me. Fortunately the MedToGo liaison and surgeon spoke perfect English. There is something to be said about the universal language of facial expressions and body language. The staff could sense I was nervous and there was never a moment when they did not take the time to comfort me both before and after the procedure.

Dr. Page and the MedToGo staff accompanied me throughout each and every step of the procedure, including the post-operative care months after my return to the United States. The hysterectomy was a great success, and as an aside the cost was one-third of that in the U.S. and Canada. Due to the research and dedication that Dr. Page provided me in my case I not only had a successful surgery in Mexico, but I was illuminated to the prospect of continuing medical procedures in Mexico for the ones I love – my family.

The staff was very supportive and attentive, and the reminder of my stay at the hospital was very comfortable. When I returned home the surgeon personally called me several times during the first week of my recovery. My follow-up care was done in the United States. Everything went better than I could have ever anticipated and I am so very grateful to Dr. Page for providing this route, as it not only saved us an incredible amount of money but was a real awakening about health care in Mexico.
