Safety starts with an informed decision
Medical travel combines the risks of a procedure with the risks of travel. No coordinator can guarantee a risk-free trip. Review current official guidance and your personal health needs before deciding whether to travel.
Read the current Chihuahua travel advisory
The U.S. Department of State publishes state-specific guidance for Mexico, including restrictions and recommendations for Chihuahua and Ciudad Juárez. Read the current advisory directly before booking and again before departure; conditions and guidance can change.
Check the clinical plan separately
A convenient border crossing is not evidence of clinical quality. Ask for the treating professional’s credentials, the facility’s current licensing and applicable certification, and a written plan for complications.
- Know the exact clinician and location before paying.
- Ask who provides emergency care and how additional costs are handled.
- Confirm how records and follow-up will reach your clinician at home.
Agree on transport and recovery arrangements
Confirm the pickup address, crossing plan, transport contact, accommodation, and support person. Share the itinerary with someone at home. Ask your clinician when it is appropriate to travel after the procedure.
