Independent patient education · Not a price-comparison site

Everyone sells you a package. We give you a consultation.

Not a quote from a coordinator. A proper clinical consultation with the specialist who would actually treat you — the same consultation any patient sitting in their clinic would get. Our medical team prepares you for it, and the full transcript is yours to keep.

Description

What will actually be done to your body, step by step.

Benefit

What this operation can realistically give you — and what it cannot.

Risk

Ordered honestly: common, less common, uncommon, extremely rare.

Alternative

Every other option, including doing nothing — and what each costs you.

✗

Patient's signature — sign nothing you don't understand

Meet your surgeon while you can still say no.

Your operation is not a product you order. One person does it, with their own judgement and their own honest view of whether you need it at all. You should meet them properly — and you should meet them while you are still sitting at home.

01 What consent is supposed to be

A conversation, not a signature.

Consent is not a legal shield held up before you are wheeled in. Done properly it is a calm discussion, held early enough that you can still change your mind. Four things belong in it, in this order — and benefit and risk carry equal weight.

Description

What is being done

The operation in plain words: what is removed, repaired or replaced, how long it takes, what you will feel afterwards.

Benefit

What it can give you

Stated in the terms that matter to you — pain, walking, work, appearance — not in surgical success rates alone.

Risk

What can go wrong

Always ordered common first, then less common, uncommon, extremely rare. Rare things last, so the frequent ones are not buried.

Alternative

What else you could do

Other procedures, other techniques, non-surgical management, and waiting — each with its limits and consequences.

02 What makes this different

A real consultation with a real doctor. Nothing in between.

Most medical-travel platforms put a salesperson between you and the specialist. You send your reports, a coordinator sends back a price, and you meet the doctor for the first time the day before your operation. We do it the other way round.

The consult

Exactly as they see any other patient

The specialist reviews your case and consults you the way they would in their own routine clinic — history, your imaging and reports examined, findings explained, a plan discussed. Not a sales call with a doctor's photograph on it.

Before the consult

Our medical team prepares you

Before you meet the specialist, our clinical team organises your reports, structures your history, identifies what is missing, and helps you write down the questions that actually matter for your decision.

During the consult

One to one, with AI keeping the record

The session is yours alone. With your consent it is transcribed live, so neither you nor the doctor has to break the conversation to take notes — and nothing is lost because you were anxious and stopped listening halfway through.

After the consult

The transcript is yours

You receive the full written record alongside the plan in plain language. Read it again at home, show it to your family, take it to your own doctor. What you were told is now something you hold, not something you have to remember.

What we are not: a hospital, a broker quoting you a bed rate, or anyone who earns more when you say yes.

How the consult works, in detail

03 Find your surgery

The surgeries patients most often travel for.

Each procedure is decoded in the same four-part structure — description, benefit, risk, alternative — plus the part almost nobody discusses: why some patients remain unhappy after an operation that went technically well.

04 Costing

A standard package is priced for a standard patient.

Package prices are built around the routine case: uncomplicated, low risk, discharged on schedule. The difficulty is that nobody checks whether you are that case before the number is sent to you. One angioplasty needs one stent and another needs two. One patient can go straight to surgery; another needs their sugars controlled first, which means more days. We do not set prices — hospitals do — but we make sure your case is assessed before one is built.

Your case

What actually changes the number

How many implants your imaging suggests, what must be corrected before you are fit for surgery, and which other departments will need to be involved.

A range

Not a single figure

You are shown what a smooth case costs, what usually happens, and what a complication would add — so you can plan, and travel with a sensible reserve.

Where

The hospital changes the price too

The same operation is often done to the same standard at a smaller hospital for materially less. What differs clinically is the backup available if something goes wrong — and that judgement should be yours.

How we cost a treatment

05 Going home afterwards

You come home to someone who already knows.

Many patients quietly stop going back to the doctor who first saw them, because it feels awkward to return having gone abroad without them. So they come home from major surgery with nobody local following them up. That is the most dangerous part of the whole journey, and it is entirely avoidable.

Before you travel

We write to your own doctor

What the specialist advised and why, so the person who knows your history can agree, disagree, or add something we did not know.

When you return

You carry a referral letter

What was done, what to watch for, and what follow-up you need — so your care continues with your own doctor instead of restarting from nothing.

Only with your permission, and only to a doctor you name. If you would rather we wrote to nobody, we write to nobody.

06 How it works

Five steps, in this order, every time.

Tell us what you are facing

The operation you have been offered, where you are, roughly when you could travel, and what worries you most. Two minutes, no cost, no obligation.

Our medical team prepares your case

Reports collected and organised, history structured, gaps identified, your questions written down — so the specialist's time goes on your decision, not on paperwork.

You consult the specialist directly

A proper one-to-one consultation, conducted the way that doctor sees any patient in their clinic. Transcribed live with your consent.

You receive the transcript, the plan and the costing

Everything in writing: what was said, what is proposed, every treatment plan that genuinely applies, and what each costs — including what the price does not cover.

You choose — including choosing not to operate

Deciding against surgery, or deciding to have it at home, is a legitimate outcome here. Take the transcript to your own doctor if that helps you decide.

07 Where our patients write from

Written for people who will board a plane for this.

Travelling for surgery adds problems a local patient never has: a compressed stay, a follow-up thousands of kilometres from the surgeon who operated, and a decision often made entirely from a website. Everything here is written with that in mind.

08 How we are paid

We will not hide this in a footer.

We charge patients directly for two things: the My Surgery, My Risk report and the consultation itself, whether that is one specialist or the two-opinion panel. The price is shown before you pay.

Separately, international treatment prices already contain a referral margin, set by the hospital, present whether or not anyone refers you. Where a patient reaches a hospital through us, part of that margin comes to us. We cannot remove it and we will not pretend we work for nothing.

What we can control is the order things happen in. Your clinical conversation happens before any hospital is named, you receive the transcript in writing, and you are free to use any facilitator you wish, or none.
