Detailed Information.
You provide us with your medical records (X-rays, MRIs and other test results), which we will use in consultation with our network of medical providers to find the best options for you.
Research.
Our staff then sets to work researching choices available to you. Your medical condition and personal preferences frame our search for the best clinics, hospitals and doctors within our broad network. As we narrow the field of optimum choices, we provide your records to the doctors best matched to your situation. They each then evaluate your condition, make recommendations, and provide cost estimates.
Your Decision.
We provide you with a set of options to review, including detail on the clinics and hospitals with background on the doctors we recommend. We encourage you to conduct your own research on our recommendations and discuss them with your domestic medical team. Moreover, we’ll be pleased to arrange a phone conference between you and the medical team abroad to help you make an informed and confident decision.
We take care about Logistics.
Once you’ve made your decision, we take it from there, and even help you get your travel documents, such as passports and visas, in order and arrange for payment. Once we’ve tied down the date for your procedure, Croatian Medical Tourism then makes all arrangements with the doctor, clinic or hospital, and coordinates your travel itinerary. All you have to do is pack a suitcase and board the airplane.
Welcome to Croatia!
Once you arrive at your destination, you’ll be greeted at the airport and driven to your hotel. After that, according to your schedule, we drive you to the clinic or hospital where You’ll be introduced to your liaison, who on our behalf, will coordinate your admission and all details during your stay. During admission, you’ll make payment to the clinic or hospital, usually by credit card, and then you’re ready to meet your medical team. Your lead doctor will explain every aspect of your procedure in detail and the in depth pre-op tests. The tests ensure there are no changes in your medical condition since the transfer of records. Most patients are impressed with the thoroughness of these tests, and unlike in the U.S., are all at no additional charge. No matter which of the Croatian Medical Tourism clinics or hospitals you’ve chosen, you’ll be able to communicate clearly in English (or German, Russian, Italian, Spanish), the facilities are pristine and technologically advanced, and the staff is dedicated to your medical care and your personal comfort.
Your Medical Care.
Your medical procedure begins. Croatian Medical Tourism will stay in constant contact with you and your medical team throughout your stay. You will be provided with a mobile phone or laptop computer (if needed), which will allow you to keep in touch with us, your friends and family back home. You’ll be closely monitored during recovery, and once the medical team has determined you’re ready for discharge, you’ll either fly home or be moved to nearby lodging for further recovery and follow-up care, physical therapy, tests or additional tourist program you choose to explore.
You Return Back Home.
When Croatian Medical Tourism receives word from the medical team that you’re ready to come home, we confirm your travel arrangements so that once again, all you have to do is pack and board the plane. We stay in close touch once you’re home to assist you and your domestic medical team with any follow-up care. We stay connected with you for as long as you need us and usually after that, and help you get answers from your overseas doctor should any post-care issues arise.
