Our Approach At Health Travel Guides we have a simple goal: to make quality health care accessible and affordable for everyone. Whether you are looking for cosmetic procedures (such as professional teeth whitening, veneers, Botox Cosmetic®, laser hair removal), corrective measures such as braces or sun/age spot removal, or critical care procedures such weight loss, herniated disk, hip replacement or even heart surgery, we think you should have a safe and easy way to research and select from a variety of high quality, affordable international health care options. | Health Travel Guides was founded by the entrepreneurial team Herb Stephens (CEO) and Alex Marxer (COO). For the past 10 years, Herb and Alex have combined their internet technology expertise to build three different successful high-tech start-up companies.
Both Herb and Alex have extensive experience creating industry-leading business systems. Herb moved from his executive position at General Electric to become CFO/COO of a $10 billion global technology start-up. Herb recognized the need for an innovative IT expert and named Alex CIO.
After the successful IPO of their first company, Herb and Alex decided to build a new company, this time focusing on web services management infrastructure. As CEO, Herb raised more than $16 million in venture capital and created more than 130 jobs; as CIO, Alex built the engineering and technology platform while developing a widely-recognized industry leading expertise in the area of technology-driven Customer Experience Management.

Herb liked what he learned about the quality and cost-savings but was dissatisfied with the lack of transparency and confidence-building security practices and business processes in the nascent health travel industry.
At the same time, Alex was culminating a years-long, multi-million dollar IT development project for the travel industry, building a traveler-experience ¿centric technology platform that ultimately was recognized by CIO magazine, as well as receiving the CRM Implementation of the Year Award by CRM Magazine..
Consulting together, Herb and Alex realized that their combined expertise in the technology and travel industries formed the perfect platform for fully integrating the multiple business processes comprising of the health travel experience. The overwhelmingly positive response from partners and investors led to the formation of Health Travel Guides.
But Herb and Alex didn't stop there: after the successful launch of Health Travel Guides, two other entities were formed: Health Travel Technologies and Health Travel Foundation. Health Travel Technologies is the technology and services entity now serving the industry with hosted business processes. Health Travel Foundation is a non-profit organization providing health care to the needy.
