Start with an individual assessment

An orthopedic consultation should establish a diagnosis, review nonsurgical options, and explain the proposed procedure. Plan access to physical therapy and local support before making travel arrangements.

Options to discuss

Hip replacement
Review your assessment, implant options, mobility support, and rehabilitation.
Knee replacement
Discuss surgical and nonsurgical options and the follow-up plan at home.
Arthroscopy
Ask whether a joint assessment or arthroscopic procedure is appropriate for your diagnosis.
Shoulder surgery
Discuss rotator cuff repair or reconstruction only after a specialist assessment.
Spine care
Review the diagnosis, alternatives, and whether a second opinion would help.

Availability and suitability require confirmation with the treating provider.

Clarity before you commit

  • Verify the treating professional and facility.
  • Ask for an itemized quote and realistic alternatives.
  • Plan follow-up and possible additional visits.

Common questions

How much will my treatment cost?

Your cost depends on the procedure, the provider, and your individual needs. Request a written, itemized quote that separates clinical fees, tests, travel, accommodation, and follow-up. Confirm the currency, quote validity and costs of possible changes with the provider.

Is medical travel to Ciudad Juárez safe?

No destination or procedure is risk-free. Review current travel advisories, verify your clinician and facility, and agree on an aftercare and emergency plan before booking. Coordinated transport does not eliminate travel or medical risks.

Do I need to speak Spanish?

You can contact MedXico in English or Spanish. Ask your coordinator to confirm the language of consultations, consent documents, and discharge instructions with the provider before you travel.
