Panama is a country with the most established most experience
and highest quality medical/dental services in the global medical
tourism sector.
Panama is a safe country, it is closer to your hometown than other destinations (2-5 hour flight), it is in the same time zone (or very close to it) as you are, English is widely spoken, the American Dollar is legal tender, it is culturally more similar to the US than most other destinations, and you do not need a visa to come to Panama.
All these are important, but the most important part is that healthcare professionals in Panama are amongst the best in Latin America. Not to mention our natural beauties and the Panama Canal, wich you might want to visit during your stay.
What if my family doctor advises against a medical
procedure abroad?

Such
advice is certainly to be expected. Rest assured that the US is not the
only country that has rigorous healthcare standards and strong patient
rights.
Panamanian standards are
very high, in some cases they are above those in the US. Please
remember that your doctor might not know many things about Panama's
private health system, (or other countries abroad), and some hesitation
is to be expected. If your doctor wishes to speak with the therapist you
choose to see, please do not hesitate to ask us. We are sure your
doctor will have a pleasant communication and understanding with our personal, since they all have received similar training.
