Medical travel for major dental work, plastic surgery and other medical care continues to be in the news in the United States. On Friday evening, Jeff Schult, author of Beauty from Afar, (me, in other words) was interviewed about the subject on the Your Time with Kim syndicated talk radio program. Here’s the segment:
Your Time with Kim Iverson/Jeff Schult Interview
The show, hosted by Kim Iverson, was broadcast in Austin, Texas; Buffalo, New York; Denver, Colorado; Indianapolis, Indiana; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Memphis, Tennessee; Norfolk, Virginia; Portland, Oregon; and Wichita, Kansas. If you’re joining our blog for the first time from any of those cities, welcome! And feel free to browse around or contact us with any questions.
Prisma Dental and Costa Rica are mentioned, of course. 
Prisma has been a recommended dental provider for Companion Global Healthcare Inc., based in South Carolina, for a number of years now. Prospective patients might be interested to take a look at one of the company’s brochures (click on the image for full size.)

– Prisma Dental now has more than 650 friends on Facebook! Come join us, if you have not already. Today, we have pictures of the grand opening of Tiffany’s in Costa Rica. Of course, Prisma’s international patient coordinator Tiffany Koffroth had to be there, along with Dr. Telma:
Prisma Dental is proud and honored to be among the first medical facilities in Costa Rica to be accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities International (AAAASFI).
“The certificate of accreditation is a symbol to patients that the accredited facility has taken the additional step of opening its practice to the scrutiny of an international organization dedicated to patient safety. This could be a deciding factor for those patients seeking the highest quality results in the safest environments.” — Dr. Ronald Iverson, President of AAAASFI
The AAAASFI review process is comprehensive and thorough,” said Dr. Josef Cordero Pinczanski, D.D.S. “We’re pleased to have it recognized that we are in compliance with the highest professional standards for our facilities and methods. Our patients deserve the best and this is one way of letting them know that they are getting the best.”
According to the AAAASF, the vast majority of ambulatory surgery facilities even in the United States are still unaccredited, operating independent of any peer review and inspection process. A growing number of states and specialty societies, however, are recognizing the need for mandatory accreditation. AAAASF has been and continues to be in the forefront of these legislative efforts.

Madison, a New Yorker, has this to say about her trip to Prisma Dental and her new smile:
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I could not be more appreciative for my beautiful smile provided by Dr. Telma Rubinstein and the incredible staff at Prisma. Being that I work in the NYC fashion industry and I am surrounded by new people all of the time, I was very self-conscious of my crooked front teeth. My family has been going to Prisma and has raved about the quality of work and wonderful staff. I was so impressed with the makeover my mouth has undergone! Prisma has made my dream of a beautiful Hollywood smile come true! Thank you again! – Madison, New York, New York
