When choosing a medical destination for your needs, your first thoughts (if you live in the U.S.) are Mexico and Thailand or Singapore. But today’s savvy medical travelers, including Europeans, are finding the best of the best in places like Croatia. What do travelers find in Croatia? The best in cosmetic dentistry and surgery and some of the best medical spas in the world.

Croatia was officially recognized as its own country in 1992, following years of war and conflict. Since then, Croatians have determined to become a focal point for European travelers as well as a global destination that offers the best in tourism, accommodations, dining, entertainment and UNESCO World Heritage Sights. Two such sights, Plitvice Lakes and the Old City of Dubrovnik, draw thousands of visitors a year. Croatia is proud of her many National Parks and islands and the infamous Danube, which attracts visitors looking for classic romance in the city of Vukovar.

Croatia is an extremely competitive health and medical destination for safe and affordable treatments not only for neighboring Europeans, but travelers from North and South America as well. Croatia is known for superlative care, treatments and procedures in dental and cosmetic surgery, physical therapy and rehab. With state of the art facilities, equipment and expertise, Croatia is building a growing reputation for the best service that still beats medical or health costs from throughout Europe and North America.

Locations such as Terme Selce in Croatia or world-renowned Dr. Toncic’s Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Zagreb offer medical spa treatment, anti aging therapies, detox and cosmetic surgeries and executive healthchecks, just to name a few, all at affordable costs, including transportation. If you’re thinking of crossing borders for medical treatment, don’t limit yourself. Qualified, expert and affordable medical care is available out there – in a place you never expected.
