The savings are significant with the added draw of visiting the Holy Land.

(Israel)—Want to combine a trip to Israel with some top-notch medical treatment? It appears more and more Americans are doing just that, and the reasons are quite compelling.

Surgeons According to an Israel National News report, the new trend is based, in part, on the fact that in some cases surgery can cost up to 65 percent less in Israel than in the United States. These include gastric bypass, spinal fusion, knee replacement and dental implants.

Said Eli Knoller of IsraMedica, "There are excellent medical facilities in the United States … but tens of thousands of Americans choose to have medical treatment overseas because the savings are very significant."

"People want to come to Israel," he added, "because they believe in the high quality of medical care and innovations as well as the unique experience of visiting the Holy Land."
