Evidence promotes patient confidence and elevates a surgeon’s credibility.

Medical tourism is intended to provide patients with affordable medical care in less developed countries, however with false advertising, misinformation, exaggeration of facts, manipulation of reviews, and medical usurpation becoming rampant, the risks for patients continues to grow exponentially.

As patients continue to rely on the information found on the web regarding surgeons that is neither verified or regulated, medical tourism becomes an entry path for unscrupulous individuals who seek to take advantage of unsuspecting patients.

Lack of regulation in less-developed countries allows for any individual to become a surgeon overnight.  The nonexistence of supervising bodies in the medical industry in less-developed countries, facilitates the fabrication of a medical identity, which patients often use as factor when measuring a surgeon’s credibility and performance.

Unfortunately this unscrupulous behavior not only hurts medical tourism, it also directly hurts legitimate surgeons.  

Surgeons do not only prescribe medicine, they perform systematic and extremely complex medical procedures that can be either life saving or life threatening.  There is no room of guesswork or experimentation.

As we gather factual evidence regarding a surgeons identity and performance, the risks associated with choosing a medical impostor are greatly reduced, patients gain confidence, it allows for an honest capitalization of medical tourism, promotes a surgeons credibility and establishes the surgeon’s legitimacy.

When patients are able to consume information and media regarding surgeon that has been verified and substantiated with evidence, surgeons earn distinction and become a preferred surgeon.
