Patients from around the world seek medical care in the U.S. See what makes New York Bone & Joint Specialists a leader in the medical tourism market for orthopedic care.

Patients worldwide are increasingly traveling abroad for medical care, fueling a global medical tourism industry projected to reach $9 billion in 2025, according to Grand View Research. The U.S. stands out as a leading destination, drawing patients for advanced therapies and complex surgeries, particularly in orthopedics, cancer, and cardiac care.

Renowned medical institutions across the U.S. offer state-of-the-art services to international patients, and New York Bone & Joint Specialists is proud to join their ranks. For those seeking relief from musculoskeletal conditions, here’s what you need to know about medical tourism and how we can help.

What is medical tourism?

Medical tourism refers to traveling abroad for medical treatment, ranging from cosmetic procedures to advanced therapies unavailable in one’s home country. While cost savings often drive people to seek care in other nations, many also prioritize access to specialized expertise, superior facilities, and innovative treatments. Medical tourism also gives patients a chance to combine medical treatment with leisure time, if they desire. With its superior medical facilities, the U.S. ranks among the best medical tourism countries.

Why New York City is one of the best places for medical tourism

New York City is not only a global hub for culture and business but also a premier destination for medical tourism. The Big Apple offers international patients numerous advantages, including:

World-class institutions. New York City boasts more than 40 hospitals in its five boroughs, some of which, like New York-Presbyterian, NYU Langone, and Mount Sinai, are considered world-class medical facilities.

Specialized care. Whether for cancer therapy or orthopedic treatment, international travelers have a good chance of finding a doctor in a specialized field, as New York State is home to more than 51,000 active specialty physicians.

Access to clinical trials. These world-class institutions and teaching hospitals give patients access to clinical trials for the advanced treatment of diseases and other conditions. In addition, New York City hospitals are equipped with the latest medical technologies to further therapeutics.

Plentiful accommodations. New York City is home to over 127,000 hotel rooms, with new lodging options continually added. This ensures medical tourists can find comfortable accommodations near their treatment facilities.

Multicultural city. As one of the world’s most diverse cities, New York City is a multicultural hub where patients from other countries will find care providers who speak their language, making the journey less stressful.
