“Lasik surgery”

Bojan K.
10/9/17

Placidway helped me find Lasik surgery in Italy, and they've arranged the package so well that I didn't have any trouble. Being in a foreign country for the first time, I was anxious, but Placidway staff was there for me whenever I needed it, which calmed my nervousness. The best thing is that I also managed to turn the trip into a vacation and visit a few sights while I was recovering from the surgery. Thank you, Placidway.

“Buyer Beware”

Chris K.

I hate to report that I am that person who booked cheaper surgery in Mexico. All seemed okay until I got to the surgery center and it turned out to be a dental office. I was having breast surgery so I quickly said no thanks and was on the next flight home. I am completely disappointed and wish it had worked out. I don't even know if the doctor I booked with is legit because the name on the paper work was different.

Thanks to some great services from PlacidWay, I got an amazing package in Ukraine for my leg injury. I received state of the art care and had a successful recovery in one of the best facilities I've seen. Everything was done for me and I had no problems whatsoever. All in all, I have to say that it was all way better than I could have hoped for and at a very reasonable price as well.

They provide a wealth of information in all medical areas which makes it easier to identify the clinic that can provide the services one seeks.

Through PlacidWay I was able to find excellent hospital in Turkey where I got my lip augmentation. Everything was organized for me, and the hotel had many facilities. It was a great experience!

Thanks to Placidway, I managed to get a good deal on dental bridges in Croatia. I found a perfect package and managed to save money on the deal. The staff were helpful and the procedure went better than expected. Since this isn't my first time to travel for dental procedures, everything went well. Thank you, Placidway, for helping me solve my teeth problems.

Thanks to Placidway, I managed to find a great package on hair transplant in Turkey. The Placidway staff were with me every step of the way, and were very supportive. They also found me a dedicated translator, so I did not have any problems in what is to me a foreign country. Thanks, Placidway!

My son suffers from Autism for almost 8years. Since we had our stem cell therapy last January I've seen a lot of improvements form him. He is a very jolly boy and now he could interact with us more. I'm just so happy that I was lead to this medical clinic. Very friendly and professional people and not to mention they use high end machines.
Thanks so much!

I managed to get dental crowns in Turkey thanks to PlacidWay. The trip saved me a lot of money and the procedures were done without any problems. PlacidWay team arranged everything and were with me almost every step of the way, so I had no problems.

Two years ago I decided/I had to consider any weight loss surgery as I slowly became obese, with the BMI 41. After a long research on google I found Placidway Medical Tourism. To be honest, I avoided the opportunities of traveling because I was scared and confused. As my insurance didn't cover my surgery, I was forced to look for private clinics. I'm from Melbourne and locally, in US the prices are huge. After some months, I came back to Placidway and asked them for some details. I was surprised when they spent a lot of time explaining me the process, the risks, the benefits and so on. All in all, I scheduled my surgery in Mexicali, Mexico after a month or so. The team was really friendly and patient and the surgeon a proffesionist. After two years, I feel beautiful, healthy, living a new life. Thank you Placidway for providing affordable and effective package!

Bariatric surgery has enhanced amazingly. Have you experienced weight reduction surgery, yet you aren't seeing the outcomes you had would have liked to see? Provided that this is true, the Mexico Bariatric Team can offer assistance. At the point when therapeutic weight reduction medications have fizzled, this group of experienced bariatric masters will work with you to locate an alternate weight reduction system that works for you. Bariatric surgery correction at their progressed Mexicali surgical focus helps patients to get in shape while enhancing their wellbeing.

I picked Panama for a few reasons. To start with, the expense of the method was such a great amount of better than in the US, and the nature of consideration is practically identical also. Panama is not difficult to reach from the US, and I have for a long while been itching to go there in light of the fact that I have constantly heard great things about Panama from individuals who have been and from travel and retirement writing. Furthermore obviously, your individual correspondence made me feel great.
The nature of consideration and time used was careful and satisfactory. I was extremely satisfied with Centro Fecundar and all staff. I would doubtlessly propose your administrations to anybody obliging elective surgeries.

Should i get a nose job? That was the time I was thinking that nose job is the only solution. My insecurities about my nose weighed heavily on my mind. I kept my hair long as a sort of shield, and never wore it up. I've read a lot of exercise/therapy that could enhance the appearace of my nose and tried those things but I get NO result. Then I openly talked about my problem to my best friend whom I trust most and she told me If I am open for the possibility of nose surgery. At first I was scared and thinking about the cost, but then I asked my parents opinion about this and both of them were very supportive. To cut it short I made up my mind to undergo nose surgery. My best friend helped me by giving this website of PlacidWay a medical tourism company who then arranged my travel to Singapore under this center named Centre for Cosmetic Rejuvenation and Surgery.

During my travel to Singapore the PlacidWay representative helped me during my stay there. Also the center was really neat and the staff were very professional and caring. They always update my condition and I want to give my thanks to Dr. Naidu for keeping me safe during and after the surgery. I am really, really happy with the result. Now I am confident enough to go to work and talk to people. Even if i heard that some of them are telling me that I had a nose job and it is just a luxury, I don't care because for me this what makes me feel comfortable and I love it. If ever I am going to have a surgery again :) I will definitely contact PlacidWay and Dr. Naidu. I will forever be grateful to you guys!

Many of you may know that back pain can be unberable, it started to feel that way for me, especially after giving birth to a healthy little boy.
My disc protusion dind't go well with my pregnancy, unfortunately and not being able to hold my child in my arms wasn't an option for me.
Being pretty scared of surgery, I had my baby naturally, I was not in the position to get back surgery. That is when I found out about Dr. Jose Manuel Hernandez (Puerto Vallarta, Mexico), from Placidway, and what a happy day that was. It was, as they said it will be, a minimal invasive procedure. I was given only local anasthesia, and didn't need any hospitalization.
So this was a happy story for me, as it's been 1 year since I had that procedure and with a little exercise I am able to play and hold my baby boy. Thanks PlacidWay for guiding me to dr. hernandez and to this kind of therapy and lots of health to all!

After 5 years of disappointment not becoming a parent, this company gave us hope. We were referred by one of my friend who also had business with PlacidWay, we ask for a quote and they immediately entertain us with our inquiry. Our target is to have it done in Europe and PlacidWay looked for a clinic and referred it to us. They referred us to Medpark Hospital in Moldova, Chisinau. To cut it short our journey for IVF treatment is made possible and successful. Filled with joy now we have our twins who complete me.

I paid them 1400 dollars and they were supposed to pick me up at the airport and bring me back and forth from the clinic every day,, and bring me to the airport when my treatment was over,, but they never showed up at the airport,,I had to get a taxi to the hotel,, they told me then to get the hotel shuttle to the clinic,, the hotel had no shuttle so I had to get a taxi back and forth to the clinic every day in Tijuana,,, then when it was time to go home I never heard from them I had to get a taxi to the airport,, once these people got your money that's it,, you're on your own in a strange country and strange city!

A happy mother, I am! My son Alex has cerebral palsy, thinking of the money for the treatment to give him mobility and improve his life, we can’t afford to have his treatment here as it is too expensive. I decided to have it done abroad. One of my friends who have a son with cerebral palsy referred me to PlacidWay who helped them setting up an appointment with a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. I did the same thing and as what my friend told me, the company immediately responded. They’ve arranged our travel to Mexico under the clinic ProgenCell. The Clinic attended my son very well and also the people from PlacidWay who was there time to time to help me. They did stem cell treatment, in terms of cost I must say it’s worth paying if you can see the result. Since the first treatment, Alex has received he has grown, increased mobility and improved on all aspects of brain development. I am very happy with the result; I just remember my friend told me when I doubted to travel to Mexico she told me “Go, Miracles happen only if you have the right people to help you make the miracle happen.” And now I can prove it! Through the help of PlacidWay and ProgenCell I found miracle!

I am Marinelle an Elementary teacher in Washington, DC. I really have this passion in dancing, and during weekend cycling. Most of my co-teacher and friends said that I have this energy of young ones. I admit it, even when I was a child I am really energetic. But at the age of 49, severe knee osteoarthritis began to challenge my levels of activity. I started to notice it when my knee pain started tiring me out, even after I took pain medication. I couldn’t teach dance lessons or even ride on my bike. Over the years I underwent number of arthroscopic surgeries on my right knee to correct the wear and tear osteoarthritis caused. But it’s still getting worst as the years past. So I decided to look for another way and luckily I’ve met John my sister’s boyfriend who went knee surgery as he has the same problem as mine. He referred me to PlacidWay, I talked to them and they immediately arranged my appointment with Dr. Max Greig an Orthopedic Surgeon, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

I am really impressed with their professionalism, Dr. Greig and his staff really took good care of me. Also PlacidWay really did their part and I am thankful to them for referring me to Dr. Greig. I spent $12,500 USD for the surgical treatment of Osteoarthritis of my knee. Before I was already unable to walk two blocks to go to the park, but know I can even ride on my bike.

High school days were quite hard for me as I cannot even complete the one-mile run because of my weight. Basically I gained weight because of emotional eating; I've turned to eating to pacify my emotions. But the result; I feel unhappy when I gained weight and spent years of dieting and looking for weight loss solution. I even had medication for high blood pressure and suffered from sleep apnea.

In December 2012, I underwent bariatric surgery at Asian Bariatrics through the help of this company PlacidWay. I found one patient review about the same procedure on PlacidWay google plus page; I followed my instinct about the company and contact them. They were very helpful in giving me the information I need and they referred me to Asian Bariatrics in India. They performed bariatric surgery to me and I must say they have this excellent environment for post-operatory recovery and also have this Post-Surgery follow-up system were they monitor my diet. They also gave me my daily lifestyle guide so that I won't be facing the same problem again. I've lost 90 pounds and now I am running in 5K races without a problem.

I am really thankful to PlacidWay and Asian bariatrics for they changed my life for the better, even now when I have some questions it's just one call to PlacidWay and they immediately respond even on weekends. Definitely I will recommend them to my friends.

My name is Gretchen Smith and I am 34 years old. I had my Gastric Sleeve on July 22,2012 by Dr. Arellano and Mexico Bariatric Team as referred by PlacidWay Medical Tourism. I have now lost 57 lbs and have had no problems since my surgery. Dr. Arellano and his staff were very accommodating to my mother and I. The hospital was very clean and comfortable. My experience was wonderful and I am very grateful to him for helping me change my life.

He is always there to answer any questions, also PlacidWay Team were also there to check on me and my progress weekly. He cares a lot about his patients and their well being. I would definitely recommend him and his staff to anyone wanting Gastric SleeveSurgery.

I was looking for plastic surgery and came across placidway. A girl named Dubhe was helping me with getting quotes. She was super friendly, and seemed to be on top of her game. Once i submitted photos and told her what i wanted exactly she stopped answering my emails and calls. I ended up doing the research myself and found 3 quotes $2,000 less than her first few quotes.

I am Maegan Coller, 28 years of age. Way back 2011; I was involved on a car accident which changed my life. I was completely paralyzed from the neck down and Doctors told me that I can never walk again. My surgeon told me that I suffered from C6 vertebrae fracture that severely damaged my spinal cord. I refused to accept their prognosis that I never would walk again and began searching for other options. My Mom was also full of hope, she met a family friend who has a daughter with the same condition as mine who can now walk. They told us about PlacidWay who arranged their travel to Asia for stem cell. We visited the website of PlacidWay and requested for a quote. Then all the process was so fast that they already set an appointment with Reelabs in Mumbai, India. This is the hospital where the procedure was done. They made use of adult stem cell. After the surgery I started with the physical therapy and based on my MRI my spinal cord was beginning to heal which really made me cry! (Tears of Joy). I can also feel parts of my upper body and within six months of the surgery I regained feeling down to my abdomen.
To cut my story short, because of the stem cell procedure, I can now walk and it was really a miracle for me. I am very much thankful to the hospital and also to the people of PlacidWay who helped me and made me feel safe during the procedure. Again Thank you!

Tip for consumers:
Ask for a Quote because they gave it for free.
