Orthopedic Surgeries

Medical Tourism plays a significant role for patients requiring Orthopedic treatments by reducing wait times, coupled with substantial financial savings compared to treatments at home. Typically, orthopedic patients come to us in pain. We can offer quality surgical skills to alleviate their conditions in often as little as 7-10 days notice.
​
Tijuana, Mexico is the Medical Tourism capital of the World. It offers World Class Medical Services at a fraction of the cost of those in the USA, and a fraction of the wait times in Canada.
We are now accepting Medical Insurance for our US orthopedic patients. This is conditional upon Insurance approval prior to surgery. Talk to your provider today!
