Asheville Medical Tourism

When an individual travels out of state or country for a medical procedure, they are engaging in medical tourism. Traditionally, people travel to foreign countries for medical procedures because it is not offered or is more expensive in their hometown. It is estimated that up to 750,000 U.S. residents travel abroad for care each year. Cosmetic surgery, dentistry, and heart surgery are the three most common procedures that people undergo on medical tourism trips.
Today, medical tourism is popular to individual who seek a private retreat for their procedures. Traveling patients are able to rest and recover on their own schedule, all the while enjoying a dream travel destination. The greatest challenge when considering medical tourism can be the process of fully vetting a doctor and facility far from home.
