7 Reasons To Use a UK Medical Travel Consultant for Your Treatment in Turkey

Your Options for Medical Travel

If you are considering travelling to Turkey for Cosmetic Surgery, you have a few choices:

• Book directly with a Surgeon, Hospital or Clinic in Turkey

• Book through one of the many Turkish medical travel agencies

• Join the select group of happy clients who book through the very few ‘UK Medical Travel Organisers’ like GoldenSands

Let us highlight 7 reasons why we believe it is so important to book your Plastic Surgery through GoldenSands!

Booking Directly With a Surgeon

Many patients decide to book directly with a surgeon because they want to cut out the middleman, the medical travel organiser, and save money. This approach is not always the best since the middle man in medical travel organisation usually negotiates prices with surgeons, accommodations providers and transportation providers in order to offer clients the most advantageous price possible. A quality medical travel organiser should be able to offer you a better overall package price than if you book your procedure on your own directly with a surgeon's office.

If you book directly with a surgeon you could also find yourself with a variety of problems such ranging from communication issues, to not being given the time and the importance that you need, and not being to advocate for yourself in case of unsatisfactory results.

Booking With a Turkish Medical Tourism Agency

As a foreigner booking a medical procedure in Turkey, you will soon discover that dealing with a Turkish medical travel organiser is not the easiest thing in the world. Major cultural differences exist between Turkey and the West which make communication, and most importantly the question of ethics, very difficult.

Communicating with a medical booking agent who doesn't fully understand the nuances of the English language and fails to understand what is important to you, could expose you to a few surprises to say the least. You could also find yourself with sudden price increases or major changes to your treatment plan (such as a change of surgeons) without your knowledge.
