Istanbul Medical Tourism
Patient-first medical travel

About Istanbul Medical Tourism

We are the coordination layer between international patients and Istanbul's accredited hospitals — the people who verify the clinic, fix the price, and stay reachable until you are fully recovered.

Our mission

Medical travel without the guesswork

Choosing to have surgery in another country is a decision most people make with far too little information. Prices are quoted as a single number with nothing behind it, the surgeon's name appears only once you land, and a clinic's accreditation is asserted rather than evidenced. Istanbul Medical Tourism exists to remove that uncertainty. We work only with hospitals whose accreditation we have checked against the accrediting body's own register, and with surgeons whose credentials, case volume and complication history we have reviewed directly.

Our model is deliberately simple: the price you see is the clinic's price. We are compensated by the hospitals we partner with, never by adding a margin to your treatment, which means we have no incentive to steer you toward the most expensive option — only toward the one that is clinically right for you. Every quote arrives itemised, so you can see exactly what the surgery, the hospital nights, the medication, the hotel and the transfers each cost, and what has deliberately been left out.

What patients tell us matters most, though, is the coordination. You are assigned one named coordinator who reads your file, sits with you in the consulting room to translate, answers your messages at eleven at night when the swelling worries you, and checks in again at three months and at twelve. Medical travel is not a transaction that ends at the airport — and we do not treat it as one.

What we stand for

Four commitments behind every plan

These are the standards we hold our partner hospitals to — and the ones you should hold us to.

Transparency

Every quote is itemised before you commit: surgery, anaesthesia, hospital nights, hotel, transfers, medication and follow-up. The figure you approve is the figure you pay — we are paid by the clinic, never by marking up your treatment.

Quality

We only list hospitals holding JCI accreditation or ISO 9001 certification, and surgeons whose board certification, case volume and complication history we have verified in person.

Safety

Pre-operative screening, anaesthesia review and written fitness-to-fly clearance are part of every plan. If a clinic will not put its revision and complication policy in writing, it does not appear on this site.

Support

One named coordinator, from your first message to your twelve-month check-in — airport pickup, translation in the consulting room, and a WhatsApp line that stays open long after you have flown home.

How we work

From first message to twelve-month follow-up

  1. 01

    Share your case

    Send your reports, photographs or imaging through a secure channel. A coordinator confirms receipt the same working day.

  2. 02

    Get a surgeon-reviewed plan

    The operating surgeon — not a sales desk — reviews your file and returns a treatment plan with an itemised, fixed quote.

  3. 03

    Travel with everything arranged

    Visa letter, flight guidance, hotel, transfers and a translator are confirmed before departure. Nothing is left to arrange on arrival.

  4. 04

    Recover with support that lasts

    Daily checks during recovery, written discharge instructions, fitness-to-fly clearance and follow-up through your first year.

Our promise

Six things you can hold us to

We do not run a sales team, so there is nothing here we need to soften. If we ever fall short on one of these, tell your coordinator — and if that does not resolve it, write to us directly.

  • A surgeon-reviewed treatment plan and itemised quote within 24 hours — free, with no obligation.

  • Accredited hospitals only, with the accrediting body named so you can verify it independently.

  • The name of the surgeon who will operate on you, confirmed in writing before you travel.

  • No commission added to your treatment price, and no charge for our coordination.

  • Your medical records handled confidentially and shared only with the clinics you approve.

  • Aftercare that continues after you land at home, including revision terms agreed in advance.
