How a consultation works

A surgical decision is not made in a single visit. The sequence below is for planned referrals; in an emergency, go straight to emergency care.

  1. Contact and first details

    You describe your complaint briefly by WhatsApp or phone. If you already have test results, you can send them in advance.

  2. Consultation

    The history of the complaint is taken, a physical examination is performed, and any existing tests and imaging are reviewed together.

  3. Further tests, if needed

    Ultrasound, CT, endoscopy, biopsy or blood tests may be arranged. Some cases require a joint discussion between several specialties.

  4. Discussing the treatment plan

    Once the results are clear, the options, the expected benefit and the possible risks are explained. Surgery is not the only option and is assessed individually.

  5. Surgery and follow-up

    If an operation is agreed, the preparation, the expected length of stay and the follow-up schedule are discussed beforehand.

Looking for a second opinion?

If surgery has been proposed elsewhere and you would like another view, you are welcome to come with the documents you already have.
