Reviews & Testimonials

GMT took care of everything… and made the entire process simple. Everything about the hospital was amazing - modern, clean, professional and very friendly. This entire process went amazingly smoothly. I can wholeheartedly recommend Guatemala Medical Travel, and the first-class doctors in Guatemala City.

Many, many thanks for the help you provided my mother-in-law with her illness the past couple of months. Being in the United States and unable to travel to Guatemala, knowing she had your help allowed me to sleep at night. Keep up the good work and continue to help those in need. This is such a great service.

Lori Shea works hard to make your stay and medical experiences a breeze. I came to Guatemala through references of several long-term friends of mine. They all had very good experiences… [Doctors] took the time to explain all procedures and were very supportive. I plan to go back for checkups and to tour around beautiful Antigua.

I contacted Lori and was so impressed with her attitude that I immediately contracted with her to handle my surgery. I expected her service to be good, but it far exceeded my expectations… in short, she was with me all the way.

Lori made the process of getting there seamless, simple and stress free!! I cannot emphasize how much the experience was top shelf from the beginning to the end. I have and will continue to recommend GMT to friends, family and patients, should they need medical services of the highest caliber for the fraction of the price.

The attention to the details that are overlooked in the U.S. made for an exquisite experience of being truly cared about as a person and not as a number. Lori’s professionalism mixed with her gift of being a care giver, has made me want to shout about her from the rooftops.

[Guatemala Medical Travel] is a professional service to make it easy to get some of the best medical care in the world. Lori understands and anticipates your needs and concerns before you even do yourself… Staying at Casa Muriel is like being part of a family where everyone helped with everything.

We could never have navigated all the appointments, instructions, procedures and follow up care without your careful attention and daily updates… we are thankful for Guatemala Medical Travel to introduce us to the very best doctors, from open heart surgery to dental work and everything in between.

Instead of an amputation, I have a living finger expected to be rehabbed into full working order. On every level of assistance, people were personable and supportive of my condition. I was not a patient number, and not once was I rushed. Here in Guatemala, treatment was both affordable and accessible.

Old friends tell me I look like myself, only better. And I tell them that my dental experience in Guatemala was a trip of a lifetime and a dream come true. It was G.M.T. who lead me to that beautiful moment when the dentist said: “Your mouth is healthy, and your smile is all set for life.” It’s by far the best gift I’ve ever given myself.

After the cancer spread to my left femur, I turned everything over to my pal, Lori. She took me by the hand and led me through what was, to me, uncharted water. She has done a masterful job of learning all about the doctors and their skills. Needless to say, I owe her my life, or at least my undying gratitude.

Guatemala Medical Travel has been everything and more than I could have expected. Anyone would be nervous scheduling a medical procedure in another country… Lori Shea sets up all your appointments, provides your lodging and even picks you up at the airport. I felt like I was visiting family rather than having a medical procedure.

As worried parents hundreds of miles away, it was a godsend to find Guatemala Medical Travel and we are ever indebted to Lori for her professionalism, her ability to secure appointments in a timely fashion, her kindnesses to our daughter, her thoughtfulness in communicating with me during Sophie’s difficult times.

I had originally thought of having surgery in México but I am glad I chose Guatemala, and going through the Guatemala Medical Travel agency. The service from the whole team was prompt and very helpful. Lori and Jade were both brilliant and I would certainly recommend them to anyone.

Great personal and medical attention… You really impacted her life in a positive way. Sherrie was almost defeated because the “best medical system” in the world turned their backs on her...We’re just ever so happy to have made the trip and get some awesome medical care.

Every physician I saw spoke English, was very thorough in their examinations and made certain all of my questions were answered… Your service has been touted to everyone I know who is unhappy with the medical care and exorbitant costs of care in the U.S. If I ever require further medical attention, I will be contacting Guatemala Medical Travel.

We enjoyed a first-class experience beyond what I could have imagined as being part of medical travel service. I received a level of care and attention from the entire Guatemala Medical Travel staff that I would never have received at home or if I had tried to arrange for the dental implants abroad on my own.

What service and professionalism! Altogether my cost for Lori’s management services and three excellent dental specialists was about one third (or perhaps even a little less) of what this work would have cost in the States. The service and care from everyone was of the highest professional skill and quality.

This is a service that everyone should have access to! Not only that, but Lori has you stay at her own home, looks after every possible need, including transport, appointments, follow up procedures. You can relax knowing that if anything at all is to worry you, immediate attention is there.

The cost of surgery/treatment was 1/6 of that of the U.S. but, most importantly, the level of care was incredible. The doctors/nurses treated me as a person, not a number, and I can honestly say that these people are now among my friends—something I cannot say of their U.S. counterparts.

Lori and the rest of the staff at GMT made me feel safe, welcome, and healthy again… I had a great experience here at GMT and would highly recommend their services to anyone- traveler or not- who needs to get high quality health care at a low price.

The staff is well versed in the locations and has a wealth of information to set your mind at ease for security, safety and knowledge. You are in caring, responsible hands. Everyone is most accommodating, and the serene setting makes the transition of culture very comfortable and enjoyable.

Lori Shea at Guatemala Medical Travel paved the way, making an appointment the same day I got to the city. She met me and took me to the doctor, who did a very thorough exam, explaining and answering my many questions. Did I mention he speaks perfect English? Right there at the first visit, I knew I was in good hands.

It was tricky arranging the details from Canada, so I contacted Lori Shea from Guatemala Medical Travel…. I can honestly recommend GMT to anyone thinking about having medical treatment in Guatemala. She provided a peace of mind for both of us and I’m sure this helped in my speedy recovery.
