Begin with personal contact
Levan Valiev sees patients who travel from Israel and other countries. In your first message, mention where you plan to travel from, which appointment city suits you and which area of surgery interests you.
Ask whether your goals can be discussed remotely in advance and agree on how to share any necessary materials.
Confirm the date and location
Before booking tickets, agree on the consultation date and clinic. Your enquiry, consultation and any potential operation are separate stages.
- Where and when will the in-person meeting take place?
- Who will confirm the practical arrangements?
- Which expenses are included in the estimate?
Discuss the length of your stay
The length of the trip, examinations and the possibility of a return flight depend on the medical plan and recovery. A general timeframe does not replace the doctor's individual recommendations.
Contact after returning home
Clarify in advance how follow-up will be arranged after the trip and whom to contact between visits. It is best to confirm follow-up arrangements before returning home.
