Medical Tourism Safety for Men's Health Procedures

Medical travel can be appropriate for selected patients, but it requires careful planning. Patients should not choose care based on price alone.

Questions every patient should ask

  • Who performs the procedure?
  • Is the physician board certified or specialty trained?
  • Is the facility licensed?
  • Is the facility accredited?
  • Who provides anesthesia?
  • What happens if complications occur?
  • What follow-up is included?
  • What is included in the quoted price?
  • What is excluded?
  • What happens if I need urgent care after returning home?
