Medical Tourism

As you probably know, medical tourism has become quite popular. With the rising cost of health care in America and the availability of low-cost high-quality medical treatment in countries like India and Thailand, many Americans are combining tourism with medicine and enjoying the results.

We want to let you know about something we experienced that you might want to take advantage of. We discovered a super modern, antiseptically clean, dental clinic in Bangalore that is run by a doctor who had a clinic in the Los Angeles area for 15 years. The clinic looks like it’s in Beverly Hills and the staff all speaks perfect English. The doctors received their education in America and perform all the latest procedures using the most modern technology. And, best of all, the cost is on average, one tenth of what it would cost in America.

Before leaving for India, we met two beautiful students of Swami Kaleshwar who, when they heard of the guru seva we had done, offered to pay for all of Tara’s much needed dental work. Because we’d been working voluntarily for years, we couldn’t afford the nearly $10,000 worth of dental care that Tara had needed for years. When we traveled as Khenpo Choga’s attendants, he repeatedly asked people to help Tara fix her teeth but it never happened. Now, these two divine souls, Becca and Stephie, were inspired to help her, as long as the work was done in India, where it would be tremendously cheaper. If that wasn’t enough, knowing our financial situation, they offered to pay for all our transportation to and from the ashram, plus all our accommodations in Bangalore. It felt like we were on Oprah getting our wishes fulfilled.

Upon arriving at the ashram, we starting asking people for their recommendations of good dental clinics in Bangalore. The most highly recommended was Dental Lavelle and we agree. If you need extensive dental work and want to save a lot of money, come to India. The money you save can pay for your trip and probably more. You’ll also have a great adventure and, if you come visit us at the ashram, you just might have one of the most memorable experiences of your life.
