Great information that is hard to find 
I spent a lot of time on the internet trying to research this topic on my own and looking for certain procedures (mainly dental and cosmetic surgery). It is nice to have this book as a resource, there is a lot of helpful info. in this book - I found it very informative and easy to read. I wound up getting dental work done in Mexico at a facility reviewed in this book and am happy with my experience. I recommend this book to anyone even remotely considering foreign medical travel.
Informative and Comprehensive
I found 'Patients Beyond Borders" to be incredibly helpful when navigating the complex issue of medical travel. Great contact information - helpful advice - easy to understand and it covers all the bases with listings by country and procedure. I found the treatment index, budget planner and comparative pricing information very valuable and was impressed with all of the specific information in the book. A true resource for anyone considering traveling abroad for healthcare.
