Before you book that international flight, consider this: you might not need to venture far from home for disc replacement surgery.
Medical tourism is a billion dollar business. Sometimes people travel overseas for surgery because it’s cheaper. When it comes to spine surgery - many U.S. patients choose to travel abroad - to Germany, in particular - where they’ve historically done more disc replacements than the U.S.
Is that necessary and how can you find a surgeon skilled in doing disc replacements closer to home? We’re sitting down with Chad Cooper, a patient who considered traveling to Europe for his spine surgery, and Dr. Ehsan Jazini, Disc Replacement Pioneer and Spine Surgeon at VSI. Together, they unravel the myth that top-tier disc replacements only exist abroad. Discover insider tips to navigate the options right here at home and avoid the risks of traveling internationally for treatment.
