Medical tourism
destinations and prices: dentistry, ophthalmology, orthopedics — choosing a clinic safely
Medical tourism
Destinations:
Dentistry (Poland, Turkey, Hungary), ophthalmology (LASIK), orthopedics, IVF, plastic — 30–60% savings.
Choosing a clinic:
Accreditation (JCI/ISO), real reviews, named doctors and their registry, transparent estimate before signing.
Contract:
Written contract with treatment scope, warranties (implants, revision), cancellation terms.
Hidden costs:
Consultations, tests, anesthesia, rehab, rescheduling — demand a full estimate.
Documents:
Medical records and scans in English, doctor's summary, translations — ask the clinic for the list.
Insurance:
Regular travel insurance does NOT cover planned treatment — medical tourism products exist.
After return:
Home follow-up plan; documents for your doctor; clinic contacts for complications.
Red flags:
Aggressive marketing, payment before consultation, 'today-only discount', no contract — walk away.
