This article will explore the most popular Mexico hospital cities, looking at specialties and benefits of each. Regardless of which one you ultimately choose to visit, you'll experience the same great care and friendly staff. It's mostly a matter of personal choice, personal preference, and - if you're looking to combine a vacation with your medical tourism in Mexico - where you'd like to go.You've probably heard about the low cost of medical travel to Mexico. News sources like the New York Times and Reuters are featuring stories about medical tourism in Mexico, and profiling the high quality of healthcare available from Mexico hospitals, doctors, and dentists. But despite the increasing numbers of American patients heading south of the border and the number of news outlets covering their experiences, many Americans are confused about how to choose from among the many different destinations medical travel to Mexico offers.

Medical Travel in Mexico

The most popular cities for medical tourism in Mexico are generally closer to the U.S.-Mexico border. Originally, most medical travel in Mexico came from men and women driving south from nearby cities to get their general medical and dental care needs met.  This led to development of Mexico hospitals in the cities closest to America. Over time, Mexico hospitals developed throughout the major metropolitan cities in the country, providing patients with many different Mexico hospitals to choose from.

Cities Hosting Top Mexico Hospitals

The top cities for medical travel to Mexico are Monterey, Juarez, Guadalajara, Mexico City, Mexicali, and Tijuana. Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan are becoming more professionally organized regarding medical travel as well.  All of these have the benefit of being very close to the border and/or are a domestic flight away from most major American cities, making them easily accessible for anyone living in America, regardless of whether they are in a southern state. These cities have all been hotspots for medical tourism in Mexico since the first days of medical travel in Mexico, and as Mexico hospitals have continued to grow, many have become known for particular specialties.

For patients who like the hustle and bustle of a large metropolitan city, Angeles Health International has medical facilities in Tijuana and Mexico City that specialize in dental and vision correction procedures. Other AHI facilities throughout the country feature a multitude of options. Hospital Angeles Tijuana and Hospital Angeles Juarez provide bariatric, orthopedic, and cardiac surgical procedures in addition to vision correction and dental procedures. AHI facilities in Tijuana and Guadalajara provide additional cosmetic procedures. With 22 hospitals in the Angeles network, Americans seeking healthcare can find any general surgery or specialty in Mexico.

Regardless of the city you choose for your medical travel to Mexico, you'll be pleased with the quality of care and first rate equipment that will be used in your procedure. All the Mexico hospitals in the Angeles Health International network are staffed with top doctors and nurses, many who have trained alongside American doctors. Some of the leading doctors at AHI hospitals are retained by American universities to train the American doctors of tomorrow.

Cost Efficient Medical Tourism in Mexico

Apart from the quality of care, the biggest draw of Mexico hospitals is the low cost medical procedures available. While many of these hospitals do choose to specialize, all the Mexico hospitals in the AHI network provide patients with experienced surgeons to perform the most common procedures, as well as a few that are available in Mexico prior to the US, for example multifocal PRESBYLASIK and lumbar stabilization surgery. Wherever patients choose to go in the AHI network, they are also guaranteed to experience the full savings that only medical travel to Mexico can provide.

Working with Angeles Health International allows patients to streamline the planning process. When looking to have surgery, even elective surgery, patients usually find it a stressful decision.

Medical travel to Mexico is made simple, convenient, and incredibly accessible, and AHI’s helpful staff is on hand to ensure that every aspect of your itinerary goes smoothly.
