Newsweek Features New You Smile Center in Special Issue Showcasing Leaders in Global Medical Tourism

Oct. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- SAN ANTONIO, Texas – World-class healthcare, personalized service and huge cost savings over most U.S. prices are just some of the reasons that thousands of Americans travel to the Caribbean and Latin America each year for their medical and dental needs. Through a special advertising supplement in its October 15 issue, Newsweek aims to bring light to the explosive growth of the medical tourism industry and spotlight innovative healthcare organizations that are catering to the discerning needs of their American patients. New You Smile Center, a full-service dental clinic in San Antonio, Texas, is proud to announce its participation in Newsweek’s Global Medical Tourism Showcase for pioneering efforts to create a better patient experience for its U.S. and international medical tourists.

Despite living in the digital age with access to endless amounts of information, many Americans are simply unaware that high-quality, affordable healthcare exists beyond U.S. borders. Newsweek had the foresight to showcase some of the leading international hospitals and healthcare organizations, like New You Smile Center, that are making a difference in the medical tourism industry. With average savings of 50 to 80 percent of typical U.S. prices on medical and dental procedures, Americans need to be informed and educated about the countless benefits associated with international healthcare and the many excellent destinations available for planning a medical vacation.

“We are delighted to be featured in Newsweek’s special issue showcasing leaders in medical and dental tourism,” said Dr. Li Skelton, President of New You Smile Center. “Millions of Americans don’t have dental insurance. Those with dental insurance often discover that their plans won’t cover high-priced cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures. At New You Smile Center, the cost savings we experience as a result of having our own on-site dental lab and dental manufacturing facility are passed along to our patients in the form of 50 to 70 percent savings of typical U.S. prices. Our American patients appreciate that they can receive affordable dental care right here in the U.S., and our international patients continue to travel to our clinic from around the world for our high-quality work and personalized service.”

Newsweek’s special supplement will also feature an article by Patrick Goodness, CEO of The Goodness Company, a world-renowned marketing agency specializing in global medical tourism. In Goodness’ article entitled, “The Future of American Healthcare Will be Found in the Caribbean and Latin America,” Goodness highlights healthcare organizations that are advancing the medical tourism industry. Goodness explains that patients who have sought dental care internationally often find that the quality of the healthcare they receive in foreign dental clinics meets or exceeds the quality of dental care they have received in their home country.

Truly attentive, warm and personalized care is what sets these international medical and dental centers apart from their American competitors. From providing personalized concierge service to coordinating all aspects of a patient’s visit, the doctors and staff members of these innovative healthcare organizations pride themselves on understanding the needs of their international patients and providing them with a level of care that rivals any leading medical facility in the U.S.
