A complete coordinated knee replacement journey, not just the surgery.
What's broadly included: the surgical pathway, recovery accommodation and equipment, local transport, in-person and remote physiotherapy, MedValet coordination, and continued support through your first six weeks back home.
Final pricing depends on your case, the surgeon's clinical pathway, your accommodation choice, and any optional upgrades, and is confirmed after your surgeon consultation.
Direct flights from most major U.S. and Canadian cities. Year-round spring climate at 22°C (72°F). Modern hospitals within fifteen minutes. El Poblado, the residential district where you recover: quiet streets, walkable distances, pharmacies and groceries close by.
We base every patient in El Poblado for a reason. Our partner clinics are a short, traffic-free drive away. Your physiotherapist comes to you. Everything about the neighborhood is designed around the assumption that you are recovering from major joint surgery.
MedValet was founded in Medellín in 2025 by Edmond Losey, a Swiss hospitality professional who has lived in Colombia since 2016. We built MedValet for patients who want the quality of a serious medical pathway without the confusion of organizing surgery abroad alone.
Your Patient Journey Director owns your case from your first message through your six-week home follow-up. You receive direct WhatsApp access before you travel. Your journey is coordinated personally, not through a call center, at any hour it needs to be, including at 11 PM if it comes to it.
El Poblado, where we base our patients, is the safest district in the city, comparable in feel to a quiet residential neighborhood in Toronto or San Diego.
We meet you at the airport, drive you to every appointment, and your Patient Journey Director is on WhatsApp 24/7 for the duration of your stay.
The starting price is for a complete coordinated knee replacement journey, not just the surgery. It includes the surgical pathway, recovery accommodation, equipment, transport, physiotherapy in Medellín and remotely after departure, MedValet coordination, and continued support through your first six weeks back home.
Full breakdown on the knee replacement package page.
Yes. Send your basic information and knee imaging. Your Patient Journey Director reviews the file personally and requests preliminary surgeon input once the records are complete.
The surgeon consultation itself is a paid step, USD 200, applied against your final journey if you proceed.
Most knee replacement patients plan for two to three weeks in Colombia, including recovery time before surgeon clearance to fly. Your specific timeline depends on your case and is confirmed after the surgeon consultation.
A booking site introduces you to a clinic and disappears. MedValet coordinates the journey: case review, discovery call, surgeon consultation, clinic pathway, accommodation, transport, physiotherapy, follow-ups, and continued support through your first six weeks back home.
Your Patient Journey Director owns your case from first message to week-six follow-up.
Send us your basic information and knee imaging. We review your case, request preliminary surgeon input once the records are complete, and tell you the honest next step. If Medellín isn't the right fit for you, we say so on that first read.
