Practical Visit Guide

What to arrange at each stage

Travel, accommodation and medical care involve separate arrangements. Confirm what is included in each booking and keep the relevant contact details with you.

Before You Book Your Journey

Confirm your appointment date, time and clinic address before finalising your travel. Ask how much time to allow for the initial consultation and whether additional visits may be needed.

Check current passport, visa and entry requirements through official authorities for your nationality. If you need appointment documentation for your travel application, ask the practice what can be provided. Medical appointment confirmation does not guarantee a visa or entry permission.

Arrival and Airport Transport

Check the arrival airport shown on your ticket when planning transport. Keep your accommodation address, booking details and the practice’s contact information available offline.

Arrange your airport journey through an identifiable transport provider and confirm the destination and payment arrangements. Airport transport is separate from the clinical appointment unless a specific arrangement has been confirmed with you.

Choosing Your Accommodation

When booking accommodation, consider travel to the clinic, accessibility requirements and the possibility of repeat appointments. Ask the accommodation provider about cancellation and date-change conditions.

If you are travelling with a child or companion, check that the booking meets your needs. Discuss any relevant food allergy or accessibility requirements directly with the accommodation provider. A clinic appointment does not automatically include accommodation.

Getting to the Practice

The practice address is Harbiye Mahallesi, Teşvikiye Caddesi, No: 37, Floor: 3, Şişli, Istanbul, Türkiye, opposite City’s Shopping Mall.

Confirm the address in your appointment information and allow extra travel time for traffic or transport changes. If you need help with building access, mobility or arrival instructions, contact the practice before your visit.

Preparing for Your Consultation

Bring identification, appointment confirmation, relevant medical reports and a current medication list. Keep previous allergy test results and details of significant reactions available for the clinician.

Follow any preparation instructions you receive. Ask before changing prescribed medicines or fasting for a test. For a child’s consultation, arrange for a parent or legal guardian to attend and provide the relevant medical history.

During Your Healthcare Visit

At the appointment, explain your main concerns, current symptoms and previous care. The clinician will review your medical history and carry out an examination as appropriate.

Investigations and treatment recommendations depend on the assessment. Ask about the purpose, preparation, costs and timing of any proposed test. Some procedures or investigations may need another appointment or a referral to a different healthcare facility.

Allowing Time for Results and Review

Before booking your return journey, ask whether the likely care plan can be completed within your stay. Tests and reviews may not all be available on the same day.

Confirm how pending results will be communicated and whether a further in-person appointment may be needed. Keep the practice informed if a flight change affects an agreed appointment.

Preparing to Return Home

Before leaving Istanbul, clarify your treatment instructions, prescriptions and follow-up arrangements. Ask for the medical records relevant to your care and confirm which results are still pending.

Discuss any medical considerations affecting travel with your treating clinician. If you need follow-up after returning home, ask what the practice can provide and what should be arranged with your local healthcare professional.

Appointment confirmation covers the agreed clinical booking. Flights, accommodation, transport, interpretation and additional medical services should each be confirmed separately where relevant.

Helpful Information

Frequently asked questions

Should I arrive on the same day as my appointment?

Allow enough time for airport formalities, transport and any travel disruption. A flight arriving on the appointment day may leave little flexibility. Discuss the schedule with the practice before booking.

Does the practice provide airport pickup or hotel bookings?

Do not assume these are included. Ask whether any support is available and confirm the provider, scope, cost and booking conditions before relying on an arrangement.

How can I find the clinic?

Use the address in your appointment confirmation. The practice is at Teşvikiye Caddesi, No: 37, Floor: 3, Şişli, Istanbul, opposite City’s Shopping Mall. Contact the practice in advance if you need further arrival or access instructions.

How many days should I stay in Istanbul?

The necessary time depends on your consultation findings, investigations and follow-up needs. Ask about the likely schedule before finalising travel, and allow flexibility where possible.

Can a family member accompany me?

Tell the practice if you plan to attend with a companion and ask about any arrangements relevant to the appointment. For a child, a parent or legal guardian should attend. Discuss any interpretation needs separately.

What if my flight is delayed?

Contact the practice as soon as possible using your appointment contact details. Explain the delay and ask whether the appointment can be adjusted. Availability and any applicable booking conditions will determine the options.

Can I combine my visit with sightseeing?

Plan optional activities around your appointment schedule and any preparation, observation or follow-up requirements. Ask your clinician whether your condition or proposed care places any limits on activities or travel.
