Step 1: Making Contact and Your Arrival

Your journey with us begins with a simple, reassuring first contact. The easiest way to start is by calling our 24/7 hotline where our English-speaking team can answer your questions and schedule an appointment. While appointments are recommended to ensure minimal waiting time, we also accept walk-in patients for urgent concerns. Upon arrival at any of our clinics, you will be greeted by our friendly staff in a clean, modern, and welcoming environment designed to make you feel at ease immediately.

Step 2: Simple and Efficient Registration

We know the last thing you want is complicated paperwork. Our registration process is designed to be quick and efficient. To help speed things along, we recommend having a couple of key documents ready, such as your passport or other identification, along with your travel or health insurance information. Our staff will guide you through our simple registration form and are on hand to assist with any questions you may have.

Step 3: Your Consultation with an English-Speaking Doctor

This is the most important part of your visit. Your consultation will be thorough and unrushed, conducted by an experienced, English-speaking doctor who will listen attentively to your health concerns. We believe in clear, two-way communication. Your doctor will explain their assessment, diagnosis, and proposed treatment options in easy-to-understand terms, ensuring you are fully informed and comfortable with your healthcare plan. This is your time to ask questions and receive the clarity you need.

Step 4: On-Site Diagnostics and Pharmacy

To make your visit as convenient as possible, our clinics are equipped with essential on-site facilities. If your doctor determines you need a blood test, a urine test, or other diagnostics, it can often be done immediately within the same building. Similarly, if a prescription is required, you can have it filled at our on-site pharmacy. This integrated approach saves you the time and hassle of traveling to a separate laboratory or pharmacy, allowing you to focus on your recovery.

Step 5: Clear Billing and Insurance Assistance

We believe in full transparency when it comes to costs. After your consultation and any treatments, our staff will provide you with a detailed, itemized bill and explain the charges clearly. For those using insurance, our team is experienced in providing the necessary reports and documentation to assist with your claims. We have a dedicated team for insurance assistance to make the process as smooth as possible for you.
