poor communication between companies and patient
The prices they charge is not that much cheaper overall. If you are American, going to Canada or another developed country would be cheaper. Make sure they are part of the Joint Commission where they travel to Washington D.C and where the medical doctors are checked for any complaints or malpractice. Check the medical boards in the country you are planning to get surgery. I already bought my flight ticket and my friend, we explicity agreed on a date and time of the surgery, but only to have it changed without me being consulted if this was fine with me. The nurses are not well educated and mannered, if they offer a date they cannot keep that was agreement and talked over with the doctor...FIRST! We explicitly made a date for surgery and bought the tickets and now we are stuck! The administrator never ever called me or spoke to me after she changed the date. Now I'm looking for help somewhere else. Placidway never called me and offer anything to make it worth while to work with them again. A nice voice means nothing. Actions speaks louder than words.
Knee replacement Europe
Hello, I am one of the lucky patients that trusted a medical tourism company with he's treatment, and I would do it again! It was 1 year ago when I was struggling with the decision where to have my knee replacement surgery. The only thing I was clear on was that I wanted to have it done in Europe. After months of research and investigation my mind was not entirely set on something, until I contacted Placidway , I just wanted to see what they have to say in this matter. Nothing to loose , that's what I taught , and I was right. One year later my knee is in the best condition ever. Thank you! You made my decision a whole lot easier. Would definitely recommend it further.
Supportive, affordable, trustworthy
Dave, 46, NY. Last year I decided to have a plastic surgery done in order to reduce weight and fat, but I wasn't sure what exactly to choose. Never had any plastic surgery done so I was kinda out of the context. I started to read more, to find some new procedures, to understand how do they work. Still confused, I chose tummy tuck. Surprisingly, my family and friends were really supportive, and my family offered to help me pay for the procedure. Meantime, someone recommended me Placidway; never heard about them. After long conversations and lot of advice, the final decision was: tummy tuck and also liposuction in Mexicali city, Mexico. Two weeks later I was on my way to Mexico. Maybe a bit afraid, I was really stressed and had some doubts. Thanks to my family and Placidway team they were always there talking to me and explaining me the procedure. The surgeon was really nice, patient with all my questions and a really specialist in plastic surgery. It was a great experience and after almost one year now, I feel beautiful and more confident.
GallBladder Surgery - Good Experience!
I had to have my gallbladder removed Dec 21, 2015. I went to the ER over the summer for pain & they sent me home saying it was my chest muscles tightening up. Then the week before Christmas I went to a different ER for the same kind of pain. They did an EKG, X-Rays then a blood test. The blood test came back & the Dr said it was either my liver or gallbladder so he sent me to do an ultrasound & found out I had gallstones. My cousin reffered me to PlacidWay to a surgeon & he scheduled my surgery ASAP in Mexico. Went back for my one week post-op & I, myself, being curious asked how many stones I had. They told me I had more than 30 & was surprised it hadn't given me more trouble than it had. I feel so much better! Although the downside, certain foods are a no-no! Usually find that after eating & I'm running like a madman to find the closest restroom! I would rather run like crazy than live with the pain! The surgeon also told me that gallstones can also cause damage to your liver. Thanks PlacidWay!
