I am performing some independent research on the medical tourism industry. I would like to hear from people who have actually taken the step to go overseas for medical surgeries and/or dental surgeries (serious answers only please).

Please e-mail me at lesbleus777@yahoo.com.

1. What were the main considerations for going abroad for surgery?

2. Did you use a medical tourism agent? (if no, please skip to question 7 )

3. How did you find the agent?

4. What made you choose the agent used?

5. Did you pay the operator directly (how much?), the hospital/clinic/doctor directly (how much?), or a combination of both?

6. Did the operator meet expectations? If yes, why, if not, why not?

7. If you did not use an agent, how did you locate the hospital/clinic/doctor used?

Thank you!
