Clemmons, NC: January 11, 2016 – It is easy to understand the problem. We have all seen the people who are putting off their dental care because it is just too expensive to properly address. By the time they do address it, the damage is done and hard to fix (and even more expensive than before). The damage may even be permanent.
In dealing with dental patients, I have heard of many poor souls who have let matters get so out of hand they have to recourse except complete extraction and dentures.
Another result of the bad prices is that people often are able to get just one or two things done (when they know they need dozens of things). Dental insurance is laughable. It will usually only pay for those one or two things, not the dozen that are needed, and still leave the patient with an unmanageable bill.
All these things lead to bad health....and directly a result of outrageous prices. People are willing to go to the dentist. People even want these issues addressed. They are in pain, discomfort, or have limitations to their lifestyle.
Studies have repeatedly shown that bad teeth affect one's ability to get a good job...not to mention a significant other! Even without that extreme, we commonly hear how after dental work people smile more, laugh more, socialize with fewer worries, and simply have a better quality of life.
There seems no way out, but NC Medical Travel found out they could help by referring people to dentists in Costa Rica. They chose Costa Rica because the quality is high while the prices are low. It is also remarkably safe and modern, and also surprisingly convenient from the USA.
Overseas travel seems like an extreme solution, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
If you or someone you love is facing bad health because of bad dental prices, please consider your alternatives.

If your doctor has a flashy website, BEWARE
Press release by Richard Jordan, PR Coordinator for NC Medical Travel
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Kathy Jordan, 336-608-5636
San Jose, Costa Rica: October 20, 2015 – I was speaking to a doctor this morning, and I had a realization. Good doctors do not have time for flashy websites and marketing. Bad doctors do. It is that simple. We here at NC Medical Travel provide our patients with a safety net, metaphorically speaking. We partner with the best doctors in Costa Rica and then help them to find patients, specifically from the USA. It is 100% possible for a patient to travel on their own, but it is a gamble with one of the most precious things people have -- their helath.
I have written about do-it-yourself medical tourism before. It can have beautiful results, or catastrophic consequences. Why risk that? There is a common misconception that self-planned medical travel is less expensive. In fact, it is more expensive, for many reasons, including local logistics. Or local providers who are dishonest or find ways to sneak in hidden fees. Or the long-run costs of substandard healthcare.
You see, a bad doctor knows that once you visit him, that is probably the only time. You are not a repeat customer, and he has little incentive to do quality work. As long as you are happy when you leave Costa Rica (and you are in bandages and on pain medication!) the bad doctor is in the clear.
NC Medical Travel is a repeat customer however, and we demand high quality from our partners and for a doctor to stand by their work. We are also a repeat customer for tour companies and hotels.
As with most things in life, this issue is more complicated than taken at first glance. A good doctor (like our partner Victor Urzola, www.drvictorurzola.com/en/ ) can find a talented web designer to run that side of his business. On the flip side, a bad doctor might also be marketing-handicapped.
In all cases, we at NC Medical Travel strongly urge all persons thinking of medical tourism to do their homework. I myself am overjoyed to see people who take personal responsibilty for their own health and that of the ones they love. (As a side note: our company sees many husband-wife trips)
Health is a blessing, and no blessing should be taken for granted.

Surgery performed in Costa Rica on USA patient has published article by Samaritan Ministries Healthcare Newsletter
Press release by Richard Jordan, PR Coordinator for DentaRica, LLC
Clemmons, NC -- An article is being published about one of the travelling surgical patients of NC Medical Travel and Clinica UNIBE Hospital. The February 2015 article, published by Samaritan Ministries Healthcare Newsletter and written by Jed Stuber, will be about a USA patient named Richard Jordan having a successful major surgery in Costa Rica.
The article will detail how it came to pass that Samaritan member Richard Jordan, a staff member of NC Medical Travel, was in the right place at the right time when his medical crisis erupted. This is the same kidney stone patient who appears in NC Medical Travel's most recent promotional video.
The article (once published) can be found here: http://samaritanministries.org/newsletter/
Richard discovered that he had a kidney stone requiring surgery (thus saving him much agony and emergency medical bills) because of the affordability of healthcare in Costa Rica. In the USA, he had suspected a kidney stone, but could not afford a CAT scan needed to evaluate the situation. He traveled to Costa Rica as staff of NC Medical Travel in September 2014 in order to accompany travelling patients from Chicago. He was not expecting to discover a surgical crisis. But, while he was in Costa Rica anyway, $400 for a CAT scan seemed an amazing opportunity.
Richard does not have typical insurance. He has been very pleased with the alternative he has been enjoying (Samaritan Ministries healthcare newsletter). Samaritan asks him to pay up front (self-pay), when possible. Many Americans are facing a similar predicament, especially if they have high co-pays, a high deductibles, or no insurance at all.
Richard's experience may be able to offer an option that many Americans have not considered. He feels very grateful for the experience.

Press Release: Doctor and Dentist from Costa Rica at Dixie Classic Fair in Winston-Salem, NC
Press release:
Written by Richard Jordan, PR Coordinator with NC Medical Travel
9/30/2014
Clemmons, NC -- Imagine a CAT scan for $500. Or a colonoscopy for $340. Perhaps dental implants for $850 each. Prices like these are unheard of for most people. There is a very good reason -- prices like these are not typicallly found in the USA.
For decades, people have been travelling to foreign countries to find better healthcare prices. For some, it is simply a dislike for spending so much. For others, it is a matter of life or death.
Doctors Esteban Urzola (Dental Implantologist) and Victor Urzola (Cosmetic Surgeon), two brothers who are on staff at Clinica Unibe Hospital in Costa Rica, have made plans to attend the Dixie Classic Fair Oct 9-12. They are not practicing medicine while in the USA, but are instead talking to average North Carolinians about their healthcare options. For some people, their treatments at Clinica Unibe Hospital have already saved them literally thousands of dollars.
The doctors will meet and greet USA residents at the booth for NC Medical Travel, a USA company in Clemmons, NC. They provide a solid base for seekers of medical tourism, and prospective travellers feel confidence that their payments go to a legitimate USA business. The office for NC Medical Travel is located in the Broyhill Suites, office #128. Their booth will be open during the entire Dixie Classic Fair, and staff are happy to help interested parties make arrangements.
Anyone wishing to meet and speak with Drs. Urzola may call 336-300-4000 to set up an time to talk. Or simply drop by. They look forward to meeting with people, and building confidence in Costa Rican healthcare at Unibe Hospital.

Press release: Unibe Hospital Gives Better Health Through Preventative Medicine
Press release written by Richard Jordan, PR Coordinator at DentaRica, LLC
Clemmons, NC -- Clinica Unibe, one of the best hospitals in Costa Rica, just a four-hour flight south of Florida, can make the quality of life better for thousands of USA residents, and has been doing so for the last decade. Although they are certainly qualified to perform full treatments and surgeries just like any USA hospital (and have the credentials to back it up), it seems worthwhile to explain just how preventative care with Unibe Hospital can make YOUR life better, or the lives of those you love.
Many Americans have experienced painful medical situations that could have been fairly easily (and cheaply!) treated if properly attended to earlier. Many people will see concerning health warning signs, but delay attending to those concerns until the situation becomes an emergency. Even if a healthcare "nuisance" turns out to be just that -- a nuisance -- in many other cases early detection of a problem is literally a matter of life and death. This hardly needs explaining.
What does need explaining is how Unibe Hospital (in Costa Rica), working hand-in-hand with DentaRica Travel (in North Carolina, USA), can help.
Preventative care, such as MRIs and colonoscopies and other routine diagnostic testing, are often costly in the USA. For people facing that situation, a few days' travel to Costa Rica including a visit to Unibe Hospital can make an enormous difference. Such a visit can make possible what did not seem possible. A $2000 diagnostic might be as little as $400, while the flight itself (charged by the airlines) can be as little as $200. This is not a joke.
With shockingly low prices like that, many people are naturally concerned about the quality of care at Unibe Hospital. On the contrary, the quality of care is very high and very modern. The standards are very high. They use cutting-edge technology. The experience and education of doctors and staff is excellent and comparable to a hospital in the USA. The prices are low because of the national healthcare program in Costa Rica. Please read an interview conducted with Dr. Luis Wachong of Clinica Unibe: http://www.clinicaunibe.net/Blank-2.html
About Unibe Hosptial:
Clinica Unibe is a hospital located in sunny Costa Rica, in the capital city, San Jose. Their facility has all the required Costa Rican Ministry of Health permits, plus they have had the AAAASF accreditation since 2010. Unibe Hospital was the first such facility in Costa Rica to receive the honor of AAAASF accreditation.

Clemmons, NC -- Clinica Unibe, one of the best hospitals in Costa Rica, just a four-hour flight south of Florida, can make the quality of life better for thousands of USA residents, and has been doing so for the last decade. Although they are certainly qualified to perform full treatments and surgeries just like any USA hospital (and have the credentials to back it up), it seems worthwhile to explain just how preventative care with Unibe Hospital can make YOUR life better, or the lives of those you love.
Many Americans have experienced painful medical situations that could have been fairly easily (and cheaply!) treated if properly attended to earlier. Many people will see concerning health warning signs, but delay attending to those concerns until the situation becomes an emergency. Even if a healthcare "nuisance" turns out to be just that -- a nuisance -- in many other cases early detection of a problem is literally a matter of life and death. This hardly needs explaining.
What does need explaining is how Unibe Hospital (in Costa Rica), working hand-in-hand with DentaRica Travel (in North Carolina, USA), can help.
Preventative care, such as MRIs and colonoscopies and other routine diagnostic testing, are often costly in the USA. For people facing that situation, a few days' travel to Costa Rica including a visit to Unibe Hospital can make an enormous difference. Such a visit can make possible what did not seem possible. A $2000 diagnostic might be as little as $400, while the flight itself (charged by the airlines) can be as little as $200. This is not a joke.
With shockingly low prices like that, many people are naturally concerned about the quality of care at Unibe Hospital. On the contrary, the quality of care is very high and very modern. The standards are very high. They use cutting-edge technology. The experience and education of doctors and staff is excellent and comparable to a hospital in the USA. The prices are low because of the national healthcare program in Costa Rica. Please read an interview conducted with Dr. Luis Wachong of Clinica Unibe: http://www.clinicaunibe.net/Blank-2.html

Our partners in Costa Rica accept Blue Cross insurance!
We have found that Blue Cross/ Blue Shield of North Carolina insurance is accepted for medical tourism, as demonstrated by their on website, www.bluecardworldwide.com.
Not all doctors and dentists in Costa Rica accept Blue Cross (or any other given U.S. insurance), but for our customers we specialize in finding the right healthcare for their needs. That might be scheduling needs, or price, or specific credentials.
This same idea applied to all insurance and all locations, depending mostly on your provider.
Just imagine: your insurance policy dollars go so much further in Costa Rica. Just LOOK at the prices* : (*Prices variable by doctor or dentist)
USA prices Costa Rica prices
Facelift $7000 to $9000 $4600 to $5000
Tummy tuck $6000 to $8500 $3900 to $4200
Breast Augm $5000 to $8000 $2700 to $2900
Lapraroscopic Gastroplasty
$30,000+ $10,500
We realize many people don't live in North Carolina, and many more don't have health insurance of whatever company. But for those people who do, what an advantage!
But beware: just getting a bargain is not enough. Our company, DentaRica, provides you with a comfort level that can't be found with many other travel agencies. I talk about that here.

We're talking thousand of dollars of savings for people who want that much work done. $5000 of savings can make someone's life much easier, maybe even help them get what they thought was out of reach.
