Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hospitals in Guatemala

Frequently Asked Questions

The most popular procedures for international patients in Guatemala are dental care (implants, crowns, veneers, orthodontics, full-mouth rehabilitation), bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve, gastric bypass), cosmetic and plastic surgery (rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, liposuction), LASIK eye surgery, and orthopedic procedures such as knee and hip replacement. Dental tourism is especially well-developed, with numerous clinics in Guatemala City specifically oriented toward US and Canadian patients.
Hospital Centro Médico (established 1994) in Guatemala City is the leading private hospital for international patients and is widely regarded as Guatemala's most sophisticated private medical facility. It offers a full range of specialties including surgery, cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, and intensive care. Hospital Herrera Llerandi and Hospital La Luz are also reputable private hospitals serving international patients.
Typical savings are 60–70% compared to US prices. A dental implant costs approximately $700–$1,200 in Guatemala vs. $3,000–$5,000 in the US. Gastric sleeve surgery runs approximately $5,000–$8,000 vs. $20,000–$25,000 in the US. LASIK eye surgery costs around $600–$900 per eye vs. $2,000–$3,000. Cosmetic surgery procedures are similarly priced at 60–70% below US equivalents.
No. US and Canadian citizens do not require a visa to enter Guatemala for short-term stays — tourist entry is granted on arrival for up to 90 days for citizens of over 60 countries. EU citizens are also generally visa-exempt. No special medical tourism visa exists; patients enter on standard tourist status. Always verify the latest entry requirements with the Guatemalan consulate or embassy before booking.
Yes. The US dollar is widely accepted across Guatemala's private medical sector — private hospitals, dental clinics, and specialist practices catering to international patients routinely accept USD cash and major credit cards. Guatemala's own currency, the Guatemalan quetzal (GTQ), is the official tender but dollars are universally understood and accepted in private healthcare contexts. Cost estimates provided to international patients are typically quoted in US dollars.
