The Great 'Medical Tourism' Hunt

Thanks Holly, for sharing your personal experience. I have been looking into getting some dental work done abroad for a while now and I haven't the courage to take the plunge yet! I must admit, Vital Europe was on my short list of possible companies. Hope you make a good recovery.

That's a healthy fear. Listen to it!

Treatment Abroad (www.treatmentabroad.com) has introduced a Ratings and Reviews system whereby patients can publish their ratings and comments about their experiences of travelling for treatment.

Patients want to know about other patients’ experiences. Treatment Abroad Ratings and Reviews provides you with the “word of mouth” that can help you to make the right choice, if you are thinking of travelling for treatment.

You see the Ratings and Reviews at:
http://reviews.treatmentabroad.com

To submit a review:
Go to: www.treatmentabroad.com/medical-tourism/directory/ and search for the company, hospital or clinic in the listings. Then select "Write a review" on the company/hospital/clinic's page on the site.

All reviews are moderated and checked by at least two members of the Reviews team.

Can anybody recommend a spanish dentist , Murcia area for implant work??

I have been emailing a dentist in Istanbul and have received a good quote for a 4 unit bridge a porcelain crown and 3 veneers.

The price I was quoted in UK was £4700 and the price in Istanbul is 2500 euros a HUGE saving, the price also includes accommodation and lifetime guarantee.

Now I just want to hear if anyone has any experience of this practice.


The dentist is Tufan Tezcan ...

His lifetime, or yours?

And, of course, it will only be valid if you attend his practice regularly to allow him to check it.

Is there anything non-dentistry related in this thread?

I had IVF in Poland having blown over £30K in the UK over a 3 year period - In the UK I rarely saw the same Doctor twice and treatment protocols often changed in the middle of treatment cycles for no good reason.

I went to the clinic in Warsaw in May 2006 and within 8 weeks was pregnant with twins at a cost of £2,300. I visited the clinic 4 times and saw the same Dr on each visit.

The clinic was clean - cleaner than those in the UK which I had visited as a private and NHS patient, the drugs were the same as those in the UK but much cheaper and the Doctor spoke perfect English - in fact much better English than the majority of Doctors I saw in UK IVF Clinics

The HFEA were (and still are) full of scare stories about going abroad - as are many professionals and professional health organisations in this country - what are they scared of? That we'll find better standards, better success rates and cleaner facilities abroad.

I would recommend investigating any treatment options abroad to anyone

I suspected you weren't good with small print!
