Medical Tourism
What is it?

The Low Cost and the high quality medical treatment is the Driving Force for Medical Tourism

Why are hundreds of thousands of people traveling overseas every year to receive plastic surgery or a bariatric procedure like Lap-Band surgery?

Medical tourism is often purely a financial decision; most people cannot afford the high cost of  Lap-Band surgery or other cosmetic procedures in the United States.


Another very important reason is privacy. It is extremely advantageous for certain individuals to go “on vacation” and return home looking refreshed and younger without anyone knowing they received plastic surgery.

Traveling for an "affordable surgery getaway" also provides an opportunity for those with limited vacation time to have both medical services and a vacation with their family or partner.

No matter what your reason is for traveling, the most important consideration should always be the quality of care you will receive.

This is why at Global Medical Services we only use doctors that are the most experienced, respected, and Board Certified within their field.

Our Goal:

Our goal has always been to give you the best doctors and surgeons in the Dominican Republic, at the most affordable price.

Although people have been traveling to receive quality overseas surgery for years, it can be intimidating for those who have never considered it.

We understand and are dedicated to providing you with as much information about the doctors, hospitals, procedures, and your follow-up care, so that you can make the decision that is right for you.

Nip / Tuck and Travel:

Looking for an extreme makeover or just a little Nip/Tuck?

Hundreds of thousands of people have been traveling abroad every year to receive cosmetic surgery and Bariatric procedures like Lap-Band Surgery. Outstanding quality and affordability are the two most important reasons for having cosmetic and Lap-Band surgery abroad. Traveling for a "medical holiday" also provides an opportunity for those with limited vacation time to have both medical services and a vacation with their family or partner.

The kicker? The low price tag! Our “personalized approach” and upscale   treatment  will  save  you   40% -80% of the cost of staying home and having just the surgery.  Imagine all this and Lap-Band surgery or plastic surgery performed by some of the most qualified surgeons in the world. No wonder hundreds of thousands of people annually are exploring the advantages of International Medical Procedures in the Dominican Republic.

A well-known New York socialite who travels every year to have "a little work done" said "Why in the world would I pay double the money for half the quality?" That's a good question. She went further adding, “I could never afford the top surgeon in New York, but abroad I can, and would I really want to trust my body to my second choice because my wallet couldn't stretch far enough?"

Plastic surgery, Weight Loss Surgery, including lap-band surgery, and medical tourism trends continue to grow every year. Medical tourism is expected to be a global $2 billion dollar market by 2012. The Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo has become a destination of choice for people all around the world seeking state-of-the-art medical treatment.

The worldwide demand for plastic surgery rises every year and as more individuals who desire a “Nip/Tuck” realize they can afford VIP treatment with a top surgeon in another country, they're packing their bags and heading to the airport!
