Medical Tourism Hits Milwaukee
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S. 21 February 2008  Medical tourism, traveling to a location other than where you live for medical treatment, is not a new concept. In fact, thousands of years ago Greek pilgrims traveled to Epiduria, where the god Asclepius was believed to employ his healing powers. In more modern times, trips to spas to bathe in the mineral waters became popular and, nowadays it is quite common for people to travel to other countries for a range of medical treatments. Now, a new take on medical tourism is unfolding here in the United States, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to be precise where medical tourists travel to see Peter J. Badalamenti, DDS at the Badalamenti Center for Advanced Dentistry.
