INTERNATIONAL PATIENT INFORMATION  Traveling from another country for medical treatment is difficult enough without the added uncertainty that comes with facing new places and people. Our specially trained, multilingual hospital staff will work to meet your health care needs and make your stay in the hospital as comfortable as possible. We are pleased to be able to offer the advanced surgical treatments demonstrated and explained on this website, for our International Patients at attractive and economical rates. We have arranged a single, comprehensive fee for the Hospital as well as the entire Professional Team. This fee is on a cash basis with prepayment required. There are no additional charges for the medical/surgical care. We can provide you with the technical information that you may need for your Health Insurance system in order for you to claim reimbursement. We regret that we are unable to file those claims for you. We have developed a "VIRTUAL CONSULTATION" program to assess your clinical problem well in advance of your visit. This Virtual Consultation process begins once you contact our office. After we receive your Neuroimaging studies (MRI/CT scans and x-rays) along with a brief medical history with specific reference to the problem which is bringing you to our facility, we will review this information and then contact you with our observations, opinions and recommendations. Any additional questions about this health problem can be addressed at that time. In the event that we accept you as a patient we will then advise you of our treatment plan and prepare a quotation for you. Once you agree to this, a firm acceptance will be sent to you. Your preliminary medical evaluation can usually be completed by your physician in your home city. We will provide you with the details of the required information so that you can have this completed in a timely manner and forwarded to us. You may then arrange for your journey to Dallas for your surgery. Our staff will be pleased to help you, and anyone arriving with you, with local hotel accommodations and transportation. We do require that the patient have someone accompany them to Dallas and remain with them throughout their stay here. We regret that surgery cannot be carried out unless your companion is present at the time of and following surgery. KEY PATIENT INFORMATION: Prior to scheduling a surgical procedure, we recommend the following steps:
