Our Take
A San Jose practice that markets specifically to North American patients and states it operates exclusively from JCI-accredited hospitals, which is the single most important surgical-tourism safety signal. The procedure menu is broad and the quote process is straightforward. Because the site does not name the specific surgeon's society memberships or the exact hospital, ask for the surgeon's ACCPRE / ISAPS credentials and the named operating facility in writing before booking.
