Clemmons, NC -- The claim that our company (NC Medical Travel) is number one is a bit of a joke. It's because we are the ONLY company who does what we do. Sure, other companies offer medical tourism, but NC Medical Travel is proud to be a step above, in a category all of our own.
The first and perhaps biggest difference is how we function as the USA office for one, specific hospital in Costa Rica. Clinica Unibe Hospital has been our trustworthy partner when sending patients from North Carolina and other places all across the USA. We develop these business relationships, and perform checks on the various degrees and credentials that doctors and hospitals hold. Our USA patients can have confidence that our company is holding our business partners to the highest standards.
Another major distinction (very much related to the first) is that we do not arrange travel to other countries. We have specialized, and our staff uses our repeat personal experiences to better provide consultations with our travelers. Our staff are certified ICT travel specialists, but just as importantly have taken the time to develop a wide-ranging knowledge of our own.
To go along with our staff's personal experiences, we also have staff visit many of the doctors and dentists that we recommend. We seek out quality partners for our travelers, but also know their quality personally. That instills confidence from knowing we not only advocate Costa Rican medicine, but also use it ourselves. We have BEEN to these doctors, HAD MEDICAL CARE with this hospital. Other companies cannot claim the same.
Another difference comes from our USA business office in Clemmons, NC. The office is for booking and appointments, not medical or any other healthcare. That office builds confidence with our USA travelers. Their payments can be made and processed in the USA. We are a member of the Greensboro (NC) Chamber of Commerce and a legal business entity, proud to be a part of the community. With our office staff of Americans born in the USA speaking English, travelers feel more at home.
As a further distinction, we pride ourselves on personal service, up to actually flying on the airplane *with* our travellers! While personal travel accompaniment is a VIP optional upgrade, our personal touch is visible in all our business. At our office, new travellers can receive much-desired travel advice and even suggestions about airport transit. Our office keeps a phone that calls Costa Rica easily and effectively, which family may use. Our staff keeps in touch with the daily well-being of our travellers with courtesy calls.
So, in short, we would like to think we are Number One among medical tourism companies, but until our industry is rated, we know what we are doing makes a positive difference in people's lives. Not every business can say that. We are proud of what we are doing.
