Did you find any work yet? I am just curious because I am wanting to work at home as well and am only finding jobs that require at least 2 years of experience. Just seeing if you have any luck or recommendations! :-( :-(

www.travelandsmile.net in Lima, is leading the way in ‘Dental Tourism’ in Peru – an up and coming medical destination that has all the glamour and attraction of a Latin American vacation spot.

Affordable AND great service – something to truly smile about!

By going abroad for your dental service you are throwing away outdated traditions and stepping into the new world. The old idea of getting what you pay for will quickly become a fallacy. Just because the dental work will be a fraction of the cost does not mean service will be poor. In fact, by coming to Lima you will get outstanding service. You will feel a higher level of service before any medical facility back home. It’s like going to a five star hotel for the price of a two star.

This is what some of our patients are saying;

Hello Dr Yuen and Lloyd,

Thank you so much for the great Dental Care! It was far and beyond what I had expected and overall it was a wonderful experience. My restorations feel great and I will definitely be back for my dental implants in the future as I have already been reimbursed with my American dental insurance.

I did eventually make it back to the states and all is well here. I am expecting my twins in one to two weeks and I am soooo happy that I am going to parenthood with good dental health!

Thanks Again,

Annie Wood

Dear travelandsmile,

I was blown away with the standard of the clinic, and the care was out of this world. It made my home dentists (Scotland) look like a basic back street outfit!! Upon returning home my own dentist was suitably impressed with the work done, and said to get that quality done in the UK I'd be thinking about remortgaging my house!

I got root canal treatments, a crown, some 1/2 crowns, an extraction and a couple of fillings- so a real mixture of treatments, cannot recommend highly enough!!

Will be back!

Dear Dr Yuen & Team,

I sincerely want to thank all of you for giving me the best dental experience of my life and a smile more beautiful than I ever could have imagined!

From the first contact with Lloyd - the International Coordinator – to the final appointment with Dr Yuen, everything was top drawer. The treatment I received was far advanced compared to anything I had received in the US. I will not be having any further treatment in the US. From now on, its only Dr Yuen. THANK YOU

Hi Jeff,

I beg to differ the point you've made about medical tourism not being an accurate term. We're a facilitator as well, but we cover eye-care as well as dentistry. We're also moving into elective surgery and plastic surgery as well. You'll agree a lot of people travel accompanied (round 80%) which means there is a tourism part to it as a whole. Especially since there is an accommodation part which comes into question. We're seeing more and more clients opting to combine the two especially since there are private tours offered with car and driver.

I would say medical tourism is the correct term to be used when defining the industry you and I are in.

The cost of treatment for medical or surgical procedures in the U.S. is often prohibitive and far beyond the average person’s ability to pay for it. Many people who need help put off seeking it because they simply cannot afford it. Many surgical procedures (i.e. heart bypass, joint replacement, spinal disc repair, Lasik eye surgery, Lapband weight reduction surgery) cost 50% to 90% less abroad. Medical tourism company like Medbirds help many people to save money.

Medical Tourism is not some thing new, reasons may vary. Until 20 - 30 years ago majority of the medical tourism was happening for the latest medical procedures in developed countries, now the majority of medical tourists are travelling for cost reasons. In long term, medical tourism encourages healthy competition in global helthcare industry and also might enable the people in developing countries to get better access to healthcare.

It was my good fortune to be introduced to Castagnola & Vilela Odontólogos Asociados by two friends of mine. They had previously used Castagnola & Vilela for dental work and was very delighted in the work that was performed. I have been to Peru on several other occasions and have fallen in love with the people and culture of Peru.

Accompanied by my friends, I met with the doctors and after an examination of my dental needs decided to proceed with the needed dental work. For the next nine days, the doctors worked very hard for extended hours to complete his work in the time frame necessary for my return to the United States. He is very meticulous in his work with a well deserved pride in the final outcome. I can not emphasize how hard that he worked to do such an excellent job with my teeth.

I would highly recommend Dr. Vilela and Dr. Castagnola and their clinic in Lima because of the professionalism,integrity and the value based on my experience. The value was amazing and my first consideration in having dental work done in Lima.

I strongly recommend this dental clinic as a consideration for anyone needing cosmetic dental work.
