Our REAL Patient Testimonials: 2011- Elayne Angel, GYNECOLOGY PATIENT, (Merida, Yucatan)"As the daughter of a medical doctor, I'm a discerning consumer of medical services. I have been completely impressed by the quality care exhibited by Dr. Laviada of Merida and astounded by how reasonably priced it is when compared to American medical care."
2011- Kevin Graham, U.S. CONSUL, Costa Maya Warden "Our family has used MTY on two occasions and each time the experience was a good one. The entire process - from picking up our premeds and preps to checking out - wasseamless thanks to your service. Removing the financial sting that I used to experience in the States (where my healthcare deductable was $2000) was a great place to start. The US trained physician was gentle, kind and informative. The facility was clean and modern. THANKS MTY, for helping us find affordable and excellent healthcare. I can and do highly recommend your services to others."
2011Jake Gladden, (LONGVIEW, TEXAS)
ORTHOPEDIC/VASCULAR PATIENT - My 2nd Trip Back with MTY in Merida.
You did it again! You and your team at MTY came through again with your exact same level of consistency and expertise in handling all my needs this second trip down and I really wanted to say "WHAT A GREAT JOB". You handled all of my last minute surgeon appointments and accommodations with professionalism and precision. I appreciate you taking me under your care – MTY is the very best at patient care 24/7 – AND I WAS WITH THEM FOR 2 WEEKS THIS MAY! They were with me almost 100% of the time – now that’s service. On top of the lower negotiated medical prices that they have gotten on my 1st trip as well – I received an upgrade at the HYATT to the Regency Club level this time – all as part of the package."
2011Jane Elliot, URGENT CARE PATIENT (Swift Current, Saskatchewan & Playa del Carmen)“I developed leg ulcers and was “unsuccessfully” treated in Canada over a 4-month period. And then I was told that it would be a 1-year wait to see a specialist in Canada. I decided on the experts at MTY. With the capable assistance and guidance of Alan and Heather I was provided with a high priority appointment in Merida with an English-speaking, and very caring, oncological dermatologist. She knew immediately what to do. After only two weeks I was well on my way to recovery for an ongoing problem that would have been disastrous had I waited. I highly recommend the services of MTY. You can be assured that the services provided – and the care and trust shown by these two individuals - will exceed your expectations.”

"You fielded a wonderful team of U.S. trained dentists and saved me thousands of dollars against the dental plan with my local dentist. I got four root canals, five crowns and a bridge, plus treatment for an upper gum infection. I guarantee that anyone needing medical or dental help will not regret trusting you. Now I will be returning for a couple of medical procedures other than dental. Thank you for making "medical tourism" a blessed reality for me." Rev. Dr. Gary W. Hartman, (Fredericksburg, Virgina , 2010)
DIANA ZIMMER, MS LIBERATION PATIENT, (Toronto, Ontario, 2011):
“My head feels clearer. My blood circulation has improved and my hands, legs, and feet actually warm up now!!! I can't say enough good things about MTY [Medical Traveler Yucatan]. The MTY Associate Director, Heather Moreau, and Patient Care Facilitator, Mike Riniolo both met us at the airportand took us to our hotel - very clean new hotel is directly across from the Star Medica Hospital in which we had our procedure. Star Medica is a very modern state-of-the-art hospital. Our doctors, neurologist and two cardiologists [who performed the operation] are both top-quality specialists. The small city of 'Merida' is clean, quiet and very safe. I can bear my weight in a standing position for a few minutes at a time, something I had completely lost over the past few years.”
*
"The MTY team was very upfront and open from planning my medical trip to assembling a top-knotch team of English-speaking doctors – who found out I was misdiagnosed in the U.S. - and even consulted together in front of me! Very personal – nothing is hidden. So I had less serious surgery and I am already back to 95%. I saved thousands just on tests alone – and got to take all my new records home! Alan and Heather and the MTY team are located there in Merida and were with me throughout – they followup constantly now that I am home to make sure I do my physical therapy." Jake Gladden, VASCULAR/ORTHOPEDIC Surgery (Longview, Texas , 2011)
"I was not sure what to expect traveling to another country (with my brother Piero, an MS patient - and 2 more MS patients, Diana and Kostas). The way that you took care of us and met all of the needs of everyone was very professional and put our worries aside. The compassion of the MTY team and of the doctors was more than what we hoped for. I am forever grateful for your warm hearts and wonderful generosity - Please keep doing a wonderful job in helping people have hope again in their lives and making this journey as comfortable as possible for them."
Marco Scarsella, Brother/Friend of 3 MS LIBERATION PATIENTS (Toronto, Canada, 2011)
“I have lived with MS for 20 years and decided to take my health into my own hands. My Liberation has been amazing. Caring, quality, and easier accessibility are why I am referring other MS patients to MTY in Merida. MTY provides hands-on patient care and that is the most important part – They are a CANADIAN-AMERICAN TEAM there in Merida for you! And there is less chance of getting deep vein thrombosis (clotting) when traveling to Yucatan (less than 2 hours non-stop from Houston with Continental) instead of more distant places.”Katrina Baier, MS LIBERATION PATIENT, (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, 2011)

We are full-time, permanent residents. Even though our ex-pat team members maintain residences in Toronto, New Orleans, and St. Pete, Florida – Merida, Yucatan has been our home and business location for many years. (SEE “ABOUT US”) to top
Our team has rich working experiences both in the Yucatan and abroad and diverse backgrounds that uniquely qualify us to serve you – our successes and maturity give you the confidence you need in such an important quest. We are on- site medical trip and medical services coordinators and facilitators working in tandem with a large network here at your destination. We are not a cookie cutter referral service and not a travel agency. to top
We have had our own medical, surgical and dental treatment as both in- and out-patients in all private hospitals here, AND we have personally evaluated all physicians, dentists, and hospitals for the last five years. Your Director (American) and Associate Director (Canadian) have had 100% medical and dental care here in Merida, Yucatan for a half-decade. In fact, our international insurance has a clause whereby if we are injured or require surgery while visiting other countries, we are airlifted – back to Merida, Yucatan. to top
We are a small, focused team that has forged a liaison with a medical network having proven success. We are not an impersonal corporate conglomerate. The team you see at our ABOUT US link is comprised of the very people who are here to welcome you and ensure that everything proceeds as promised. to top
Our job is to understand your medical, surgical or dental requirements and devise for you an Individual Medical Traveler Plan (IMTP). The American and Canadian facilitators who speak with you on the phone or by e-mail or video teleconference, are the same people who make your medical arrangements here in Yucatan; the same team members who have made personal contact with your doctors and have inspected the facilities; the coordinators who handle all of your medical business details, accommodations, transportation, and take care of all of the details of your medical trip. We are the coordinators who greet you at the airport. to top
We represent you. In fact, we basically hold your hand and escort you personally through each step of your medical trip here. You are our number one priority and our special patient project during the entire trip. to top
We are located just across the Gulf of Mexico, only about a 2-hr flight from Houston and the U.S. Gulf States and less than 4 hours from Toronto, Canada. The known risks associated with taking a 20-hour flight overseas to India, Thailand or Singapore include serious jetlag which - depending on time zones crossed - can take as many as 5-6 days of recovery before even entertaining the thought of major surgery. Deep vein thrombosis which in some cases is life threatening has been well documented as a complication of lengthy flights. We believe that Merida, Yucatan is an ideal location offering the highest quality healthcare experience for the medical traveler. (And with the draw of Colonial Merida, the Emerald Coast, Chichen-Itza and the Caribbean beaches of Cancun and the Riviera Maya nearby, it easy to add a rest and recuperation vacation if you wish) to top
We specialize in assisting patient-consumers with their surgical and dental needs. We also coordinate all of your transportation, meetings, and appointments – for your full visit. Surgery is stressful and we want to insure that you have nothing else to worry about. And we have a select list of evaluated accommodations in several price ranges that we arrange for you. We will recommend the best way to fly into Merida or Cancun. We take care of you from the airport until you depart – it’s all part of our custom package. to top
We are researchers, patients here ourselves, and consumer advocates. Take a look at our 6000-word, 2009 & 2010 articles on MERIDA MEDICAL TOURISM. (Click the ABOUT US, OUR ARTICLES or QUOTES & TESTIMONIALS links.)to top
We interview and evaluate every physician and dentist. We have inspected and evaluated all facilities. (In fact, we have used the same doctors and the hospital we recommend.) We examine all credentials and certifications. And we study surgical success rates. to top
With our company and team located here, we have the advantage of maintaining personal contact with hospital administrators and individual doctors. Our close relationships allow us to be effective in negotiating the very best medical fee for the consumer – without sacrificing the highest level of medical quality. And this advocacy applies to hotel, B& B, and hacienda rates as well. We maintain good working relationships and select only the most appropriate accommodations for our patients – and at all budget levels - to insure the best discounted rates. to top
We continue to work with you, your home country doctor, and the doctor here who performed your treatment – after you get home. And we ascertain that all of your records here are furnished to you and your home doctor. Our doctors are available to you and your home doctor for consultation after you get home. And we follow-up with our Patient Satisfaction Survey which helps us evaluate and understand your experience here. to top
Our core values include complete openness and honest guidance. We provide the consumer with as much information as needed for you to make a sound decision. Cost breakdowns, physician curriculum vitas, surgical success rates, authentic testimonials, constant communication, and we provide consumers with the listing of doctors and facilities. to top
