Health Care Tourism

With a long tradition of being a haven for retiring expats, Puerto Vallarta has developed a world-class medical community already accustomed to serving international patients. As medical tourism emerges as a fast-growing industry, Vallarta is striving to become a top destination for medical tourists.

And what better place to come for health care? Puerto Vallarta boasts hospitals with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. There are bilingual, board-certified doctors in almost every area of medicine, including surgery (both emergency and elective), bariatric (obesity) treatments, exams and screenings, plastic surgery, dentistry, homeopathy, and holistic treatments.

Medical care in Vallarta comes with a number of advantages. Care is more personal, and more time is given to patients. Waiting times are shorter. And while price should never be the sole factor in your decision, procedures and medicines cost a fraction of what they do elsewhere – many people find that it’s cheaper to come to Vallarta, receive care, and recover in a relaxed, tropical setting than it is for just the procedure at home.
