Expectancy violations theory serves as the intercultural theoretical framework for exploring the medical tourism process overall, and quality of care expectations specifically. Results revealed the type of website and international region of care varied both representations of care toward patients and the depictions of physicians as well as their associated environmental surroundings.

Future directions are offered to explore the consequences of these images among organizations advancing medical tourism services.
