GAOC AND MEDICAL TOURISM

Medical Tourism is a developing concept whereby people from all over the world visit other countries for their medical and relaxation needs. As health care costs skyrocket, patients in the developed world are looking overseas for medical treatment. We, at GAOC, are capitalizing on its low costs and highly trained doctors to appeal to "medical tourists." Even with airfare, the cost of going to the Philippines for surgery can be markedly cheaper, and the quality of services is often better than that found in the United States, or anywhere else in Europe. Indeed, many of our patients were pleased at the prospect of combining their oral-facial maxillary surgery or prosthesis on their implants with a trip to Boracay in Aklan or to Amanpulo in Palawan --- all courtesy of GAOC's world-renowned services.

Not only do you save an enormous amount of money --- since offshore dental procedures can be performed for as little as one-forth the cost of what would normally be charged in the Western states, with state-of-the-art facilities to boot, you get to enjoy VIP services, such as personalized hotel accommodations, free shuttle services to and from the airport, and absolutely to-die-for hotel accommodations, restaurants, spas, and vacation packages anywhere in the archipelago.

The reason GAOC is often referred to as "a patient's dental paradise" is because our infrastructure and technology, is at par with those in the advanced countries. It is one of the first dental centers in the Philippines to take advantage of the country's positive image as a destination for medical tourism due to its world-class dental care and modern technology, with procedures delivered at a fraction of the cost of those in developed countries. In addition, the services which includes hotel bookings, pick-up services, city tours around Metro Manila may be included as part of the dental tourist's package --- making it one of the most convenient and well-planned dental tourism packages offered in the country today.

Since the Philippines is also one of the most favorable tourist destinations in the world, dental medication combined with tourism has come into effect, from which the concept of Medical Tourism is derived. What's more, we have developed links for speedy treatments for foreign nationals on account of the fact that in those countries one has to wait for extended periods of time to undergo operations. Here, at GAOC, the patient is king.

One of our foreign patients summed it all up fo us: "At GAOC, once the door is closed you could be in a class-A dental center in the United States.”
