How the process works
– step by step
We keep the process simple and transparent,
from your first message to your return home.
Free online evaluation (within 48 hours)
You complete a short form and send us your existing scans or medical reports. Our orthopedic surgeon reviews your case and tells you if joint replacement abroad is a realistic and safe option.
Video consultation with your surgeon
If you are a good candidate, we schedule a 30–40 minute video call. You can ask all your questions about the surgery, risks, recovery time and travel.
Personalized plan and package quote
After the call, you receive a written summary of your case, a proposed treatment plan and an estimated package cost, including your stay and local transport.
Travel planning and arrival in Quito
Once you decide to move forward, we coordinate with you and our travel partner to choose dates, flights and accommodation. We meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel or recovery apartment.
Pre-operative tests and surgery
In the days before surgery, you complete any necessary tests and meet the anesthesiology team. Surgery is performed in a modern operating room at DaVinci Clinic.
Recovery and rehabilitation
You stay under close observation and begin guided physiotherapy. We focus on pain control, safe mobility and building confidence.
Safe return home and ongoing follow-up
Before you fly home, we make sure you are medically ready to travel. We schedule virtual follow-ups and stay in touch while you continue your rehabilitation in your home country.
Clear, transparent pricing with no hidden hospital fees
We understand that cost is a major concern. That’s why we work with all-inclusive package pricing whenever possible, so you know in advance what your stay will cost.

Frequently asked questions
01
Is it really safe to have joint replacement surgery in Ecuador?
We understand this concern. Our surgeries are performed in a modern private clinic with strict infection control protocols, experienced staff and high-quality implants. Your case is fully evaluated in advance to make sure surgery abroad is appropriate and safe for you.
02
What happens if there are complications?
Every surgery carries risks, no matter where it is performed. We are prepared to manage complications on-site and may extend your stay if medically necessary. We also coordinate follow-up care with your local doctors once you return home.
03
How long do I need to stay in Quito?
This depends on your procedure and overall health, but many patients stay between 12 and 15 days from arrival to return. During your evaluation, we give you a personalized recommendation.
04
Can I come alone, or should I bring someone?
We often recommend bringing a relative or friend for extra support, but it is possible to come alone. In that case, we design your plan with even more on-the-ground support from our team.
