When I went abroad for my surgery, a guide like this would have saved me a lot of time and even more money. Health travel is rewarding, but it can be complicated and it is hard to stay organized. Patients Beyond Borders makes planning and taking a trip so much easier.

The book was my guide through the process of considering, researching, deliberating, and deciding to go abroad for surgery.... Every section of the book was helpful, including its lists of questions to ask physicians and health travel planners; words of wisdom on choosing a companion for the trip; costs of various procedures in many countries; discussion of expectations before, during, and after health travel; country-specific information; lists of additional resources; and more. Every bit of information was invaluable! The book rarely left my side in the months I was considering health travel.
