Just make sure your communication channels are open. Having an operation in Japan, means no one understands a word of English. Choose wisely. Just make sure your communication channels are open.

I'm sure it does concern them, because the more people travel for procedures the more money that comes out of US doctors pockets. So its strange to see the AMA supporting medical tourism to a degree!

There is lot of exploitation by doctors in such hospitals and accreditation does not gurantee quality services. Other accreditation or non accredited hospitals also offer great treatment. In IT Industry everyone rushed to get SEI CMM 5 level certs and when you see resumes from these companies, they fake the experience. What is the value of such accreditations and certifications. Let patients decide where they want to go, read other patient testimonials, speak with other patients, etc. This is the best way to judge a hospital.
