Medical tourism, also known as health tourism, is like traditional tourism: traveling to another country, but in this case, it is not for vacation but to receive medical care at more affordable costs than in their city.
Currently, it is estimated that between 500,000 and 1.2 million Americans engage in medical tourism abroad, to Mexico, due to its proximity and low prices. Most of these tourists seek specialized medical care, such as surgeries, oncology treatments, cosmetic procedures, and even dental care.
Although medical tourism has become so popular, few people are properly informed and only let themselves be guided by the lowest costs, without considering the security, medical, and personal risks they may be exposed to when leaving the country.
A safer option for medical tourism is to travel to other states that offer more affordable medical services but have the same quality and support as those in the U.S. One of the options is Scottsdale, Arizona, a city that is part of the Phoenix metropolitan area, which has five million inhabitants; this interconnectivity and rapid growth have consolidated the services provided in the area as leaders in the region. Among the growing services is healthcare, making the city a leading destination in the U.S. for medical tourism.
The combination of world-class healthcare, competitive prices compared to other states, and a conducive recovery environment are key to providing the highest quality medical services. One of the main examples is Mitogenesis, which offers integrative and personalized treatments that address the root causes of various diseases, promoting cellular regeneration and overall well-being.
Scottsdale is home to internationally renowned medical institutions, such as Mitogenesis, which offer advanced and specialized medical services. These facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by highly trained professionals, ensuring excellent medical care.
The warm and sunny climate of Scottsdale, along with its focus on wellness and healthy tourism, creates an ideal environment for recovery. The city offers a wide range of wellness services, from holistic therapies, such as those provided at Mitogenesis by Dr. Mel, to prevention programs, making it a hub for health and wellness tourism.
Scottsdale has a developed tourism infrastructure; both the city and the rest of the Phoenix metropolitan area offer a wide range of accommodation options and transportation services tailored to the needs of patients. The proximity to Phoenix International Airport facilitates access to the city, and local clinics aid in organizing accommodation and transportation for both national and international patients.
In Scottsdale, patients usually receive medical care in shorter times compared to other healthcare systems in the U.S. and abroad, where wait times can be prolonged. Additionally, some clinics offer bundled payment options for self-paying patients, providing clarity and predictability in costs.
Mitogenesis is an integrative medicine center that focuses on treating the root causes of chronic and complex diseases through personalized therapies. Founded by Dr. Mel Schottenstein, who has academic training from institutions such as Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, the clinic combines approaches from Swiss biological medicine with modern technologies to promote cellular regeneration and overall well-being through holistic medical treatment.
