Brazil Medical Concierge Service; The most Safe to Travel and Have a Surgery in Brazil.

An explanation about this new service on Medical area.

(PRWEB) January 2, 2005 -- MedNetBrazil.com started with my own journey from Morbid Obesity and subsequent Weight Loss Surgery, (laparoscopic BPD/DS) and then onto Body Reconstruction after Massive Weight Loss, which was performed in Brazil with a very talented, skilled, and caring Plastic Surgeon. What started as temporary family relocation plans, came the possibility to finish my journey to normalcy," and subsequently... MedNetBrazil.

From my Weight Loss Surgery research beginnings, I knew that I wanted to give back to others like me who were interested (and yes, almost desperate!) in having procedures that would not or could not be paid for in the US. As I shared my Plastic Surgery journey, from my laptop in Brazil, with online support groups, and others like myself, just trying to get to "normal" after weight loss surgery, being told by insurance companies what was "medically necessary" or not, shocked by prices for needed procedures in the USA, and just being frustrated, I realized (and many of my peers helped me realize) that I could help others like myself by giving them the opportunity I had by coming to Brazil and having these ESSENTIAL surgeries done for a fraction of the price, by skilled and caring doctors. And by my own experience and presence, helping them every step of the way as a type of Concierge," I could take the fear and stress factor away from having major surgery in a foreign country. So, from this, MedNetBrazil was born in May 2003.

Since then, it has constantly been evolving and GROWING. =) We have already expanded our doctor base to respond to the needs and desires of our clients, to include Dentists, Dermatologists, Cardiologists, Neurologists, Bariatric/Weight Loss Surgery, Lasik Eye surgery, Varicose vein surgery, ... really the list will continue to grow. Although we started with Plastic/Reconstructive Surgery, our vision was expansive from the beginning. What is always important, however, is quality. Finding the right doctor to work with you is most important.

Our evolution is a promise and a necessity in today's world of exhorbitant medical fees, lack of adequate insurance coverage, HMOs and even the FDA deciding what procedures or treatments can be performed on our own bodies! It is also natural because the world is getting smaller. We are well-informed as a people and realize that America does not hold the monopoly on excellent medical care and treatment, that the benefits of going outside the US are many and we can weigh them and decide for our own benefit. There are plenty of resources to help us research these opportunities. MedNetBrazil.com is such a resource.
