Las Vegas Reinvents Itself as Medical Tourism Destination, Surgeon Says

HENDERSON, NV, July 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) Southern Nevada's economy could flourish even further if the area continues its two-pronged focus on tourism and quality medical care, says Dr. Arthur Cambeiro, who practices plastic surgery in Las Vegas and Henderson.

"If Las Vegas physicians can continue to establish ourselves as leaders in our fields while catering to a steady stream of out-of-town visitors, we can really put ourselves on the map as an oasis for travelers seeking genuinely advanced health care," says Dr. Cambeiro, a board-certified plastic surgeon who performs facial surgery, body contouring and breast augmentation in Las Vegas.

"If we keep building on our reputation as a medical watershed, everyone wins--the doctors, the patients and, ultimately, the Las Vegas region as a whole."

SurgiSpa , Dr. Cambeiro's plastic surgery center in Henderson, has already established itself as a medical-tourism destination with its Fly in for Surgery program.

"Patients fly in from all over the United States, as well as Canada, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, for treatments ranging from facial cosmetic surgery to breast implants in Las Vegas," he says. "This is really the ideal destination, since our climate and tourism infrastructure allow visitors the opportunity to turn their surgical recovery time into a vacation."

A Nevada native, Dr. Cambeiro is a highly respected plastic surgeon in Las Vegas. Featured in magazines such as Glamour and Allure and recognized as one of the "Top Docs 2011" by Las Vegas Life magazine, he established SurgiSpa after completing a 5-year residency followed by extensive training in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

"My staff and I understand the particular needs of people who travel to Las Vegas for plastic surgery and cosmetic treatments," Dr. Cambeiro says. "We work hard to create a comfortable, sensitive, collaborative environment where our patients receive optimal attention and guidance."

Dr. Cambeiro exudes the inborn pride of a native son in extolling the benefits of seeking health care in his hometown.

"Our medical community is unique in its level of service to both the local and the visiting populations," he says, "and I feel a deep commitment to making a positive contribution to health care in Clark County."

Dr. Arthur Cambeiro is a board-certified Las Vegas plastic surgeon. His practice, SurgiSpa Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures ranging from BOTOX Cosmetic to facelifts and breast augmentation. Dr. Cambeiro earned his medical degree from University of Colorado and received his surgical training from the Phoenix Integrated Surgical Residency Program and the world-famous Mayo Clinic. He is certified by The American Board of Surgery and The American Board of Plastic Surgery.
