Why Patients Are Choosing Care Abroad Over Local Providers

Patients are flying to Turkey for care they could get here. Why?

It’s not always about money.

In a recent conversation, Care Sherpa CEO Jessica Walker and Tidal Health Media’s Bryan Cush, explored a tough truth:

Many patients leave the country, NOT because of cost, but because of how we treat them before they even walk through our doors!

The decision to move forward with care starts long before the consultation.

📍 It’s in how fast we follow up.
📍 It’s in how we communicate.
📍 It’s in whether they feel seen or dismissed.

If we don’t pay attention to that journey, we lose people—not just to other hospitals, but to other countries.

At Care Sherpa, we help providers close that gap. Because when patients feel supported early, they’re far more likely to stay, show up, and move forward.
