• Long waiting lists for surgery in countries offering socialized medical care
• Ease and affordability of international travel
• Favorable currency exchange rates in foreign countries resulting in low cost surgery
• Rapidly improving technology and standards of care in many countries
• Proven safety of medical care in select foreign nations
• Overseas surgery is quickly becoming a safe and viable option to medical care practiced in industrialized nations in North America and Europe.
