BestClinic.com does not charge any fees to patients. Our service is totally FREE. Our pre-diagnosis is also completely FREE. If you are happy with the price of the operation, you will pay for your treatment directly to the hospital or clinic.
The best way to find out how much an operation costs is to fill in the FREE PRE-DIAGNOSIS form on each clinic page. In this way, and after analysis of your file, you will obtain a personalised price according to your constraints and your objectives. Please note that these prices are indicative and, although accurate, do not necessarily reflect the cost to you. Cosmetic surgery, in particular, is very often tailored to help you achieve your desired result. For example, facial rejuvenation is a combination of surgical and non-surgical treatments. While one person may require a full facelift and some skin resurfacing treatments, another may only require a lower face lift, and perhaps some eye treatments. The prices can therefore be very different.
You pay for treatment at the hospital or clinic, in euros or local currency.
Most places accept cash, as well as other payment options, including bank transfers, credit and debit cards and travellers’ cheques.
If in doubt, simply ask the hospital or clinic before you go.
As our service is 100% free, there is nothing to gain by going directly to the hospital, instead you miss out on the service we offer our customers.
Our customer care team can offer you extra peace of mind and help answer any questions you may have, based on our experience of referring patients from abroad.
Our partnerships are so valued by hospitals that our customers will go straight to the front of the queue, every time.
In addition, in some areas, our partners can offer free services such as spa treatments and massages.
The clinics we work with will offer you the possibility to pay in instalments.
We are dependent on the prices charged by hospitals and clinics. Unfortunately, we cannot negotiate prices. But rest assured, our intermediary will ensure that you find the most appropriate establishment and you will only pay the right price.
Yes, the doctors and staff are used to treating international patients in English and also in French, as well as in many other languages. On each form we indicate the languages spoken by the clinic. In addition, we would like to thank our partner traduction-pas-cher.com for their kind cooperation on the English-French translation of our website.
Yes, we can arrange this for you, just fill in your patient medical profile form (we will send it to you) and follow the process.
After submitting your medical information and photos, you can discuss this further with the doctor.
Various factors come into play, for example, living costs are generally much lower – this includes doctors, nurses, anaesthetists and other associated medical staff.
Overheads are also cheaper, such as rent, utilities, laboratory equipment, insurance and administration costs.
These “hidden” expenses can make up a significant portion of your medical bill, so any reduction in these costs will result in considerable savings for you.
Yes, if not better. There are world-class facilities with excellent reputations, many of which are well-known and recognized centres for international patients.
Thanks to JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation, international facilities are now measured against the same standards as US medical facilities – so look out for the JCI marker, this way you are assured of the highest quality standards.
However, just because a facility is not JCI accredited does not mean it does not match the facilities you used in your home country
At BestClinic.co.uk we aim to give patients a true representation of the market in one place, so it wouldn’t be fair to filter out all non-JCI accredited facilities, but we only include the best of them.
Yes, we only partner with highly qualified and experienced leading specialists and surgeons in the fields of cosmetic, plastic, reconstructive, hair and reproductive medicine.
Yes, due to the large budgets of these facilities, world-class equipment and associated advanced technologies are available.
Most people are aware that medical tourism destinations have catered well for cosmetic and plastic surgery, but patients are now just as likely to travel for fertility treatments, stem cell therapies and the latest cancer treatments in specialist high-tech facilities.
Again, with reference to JCI accreditation, all of these standards are covered and adhered to as part of this and for those who are not yet accredited, they must adhere to local standards and practices, which also meet high standards to ensure the best protection for all patients.
Our doctors all offer guarantees on your treatment and although no medical treatment can ever be completely guaranteed due to the different ways in which our bodies react, the key to ensuring a successful outcome is to have your treatment carried out by qualified and experienced medical staff in facilities that meet strict hygiene and safety requirements.
It is also imperative that you follow post-treatment guidelines and advice so as not to compromise the healing process.
Many thousands of patients travel abroad for medical, surgical and cosmetic treatments, but in the rare event that something goes wrong, you should inform the hospital or clinic concerned immediately.
We suggest that you take out low-cost medical complication insurance before your trip – and while this won’t prevent you from having problems, it will at least cover any extra accommodation or travel costs you may incur.
It really depends on the operations. Some cosmetic procedures, such as Botox or fillers can be done in minutes, and there is virtually no downtime, so you don’t have to stay.
This is different for surgery. Although many surgical treatments can be done on an outpatient basis, you will usually need to stay for about a week to remove the stitches, although this can often be done by your local doctor when you return home.
Other major surgical procedures may require you to stay longer, but the final decision is up to your surgeon.
Yes, but we recommend that you travel with someone who can support and help you.
This will help you feel more comfortable, especially if you are in a new country for the first time.
However, if this is not possible, all the hospital staff will give you all the care and attention you expect.
First of all, you need to define your request precisely and submit it to us. This way we can understand what procedure you want and where you want it.
Then continue to complete your medical profile (we will send it to you by e-mail), adding photos if necessary.
After analysing your file, we will recommend the best clinic at the best price.
We have many partner hotels close to the hospitals that offer us very good discounts that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet, but we understand if you prefer to find it yourself.
We organise flights and accommodation. Travelling out of season is a way to cut costs, both on flights and accommodation, and we can certainly help you.
This is not always necessary, but if you have any health problems, these should be listed in our Medical Details section, which is sent to the hospital of your choice.
If you are having surgery to correct a particular health problem, such as a hip or knee replacement, a medical history from your own doctor would be helpful.
Many of our hospitals/clinics offer this and we will be sure to inform you of these services. It is important that patients can be fully looked after from the plane to the clinic and from the clinic to the plane, via the hotel.
