you've heard nightmare stories about medical travel?

So have I. I found this link to YouTube today, and I wanted to address it (and related issues) upfront.

This poor lady had such a bad experience, but that's because she went to a bad dentist. Even in the U.S., that is a recipe for disaster.

I have not spoken to the woman above, nor do I know any more about her trip than is in the video. We do not know of this dentist mentioned, although we have encountered "dentists" like him.

It very much sounds like she just picked a dentist of the internet with a flashy website. A dentist who was not PROMED. Her "dentist" may not have even been an actual dentist in our sense of the word. Those "references" could well have been paid salespeople.

Look here to see the certified PROMED partners:

We have many people who call us wanting to travel, but their family members think they're crazy to consider medical travel. These family members have usually heard such nightmare stories as the link above, and just don't realize that DentaRica is different. Our partners in Costa Rica are chosen for their high quality. Costa Rica itself is shockingly modern and high-tech. PROMED is different and they are on your side in Costa Rica. Did you know that if there is dissatisfaction by a foreign patient PROMED requires it's member dentist and doctors to provide (at no cost) corrective measures? You can feel secure with a PROMED doctor or dentist, just as you can feel secure with DentaRica, a PROMED facilitator.
