If you think it’s worth it, you can fly to a few places in East Asia or Southeast Asia where you can see a medical specialist in private hospitals on the same day, especially if arranged a couple of days in advance.

These include Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc.

The quality of care in these private hospitals is usually high as well.

For some cases, the costs in more affordable locations among the above—even after including economy flights—could be cheaper than treatment in the US.

I visited an international hospital in Saigon to have a skin infection drained and cleaned and bandaged. I remember them charging me around $14. Strange, as surely the nurse used more than $14 in PPE and bandages.

International hospitals in Singapore and Malaysia will be more normally priced, but still a small fraction of what you'd spend in USA.

Which metrics are you using to measure quality of care?

The city of Merida in Mexico might also be an option.
