International Patients

The Dr. Betances Bariatric Institute offers care to international patients. As the family of an international patient, our care team will guide you through your medical journey, ensuring you feel prepared and educated every step of the way.

We want to ensure that our patients and families from different cultures and languages can communicate effectively with medical staff and employees. For this reason we have a bilingual staff, all trained in the same way regarding the entire patient process, in order to satisfy all their needs.

In our associated Health Center, we work with international insurance, which provides coverage throughout the preoperative preparation process.

We offer:

  • Arranging for language assistance services during office visits, physician consultations, medical and surgical procedures and examinations.
  • Virtual consultation.
  • Scheduling appointments with doctors.
  • Scheduling appointments to carry out the entire pre-operative process.
  • Help with hospital admission procedures and coordination of follow-up appointments.
  • Accommodation and transportation information (including nearby hotels that offer discounted rates and our transportation service.)
  • Help with hospital admission procedures and coordination of follow-up appointments.
