After learning that their baby boy, Mateo, would never hear, Stéphane and Karla traveled from Mexico to Johns Hopkins for a second opinion. A team of specialized and compassionate experts worked with the family to restore his hearing.
Traveling to another country to receive care—especially for rare and complex conditions—can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created a special concierge service to ensure you and your family receive personalized care and cultural respect during a potentially difficult time in your life, in a place far from home.
