Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
An endoscopist is a doctor who examines the lining of the digestive tract with a flexible camera: they perform gastroscopy and colonoscopy, take tissue samples for testing and remove polyps. The examination itself requires you to be there in person, but everything around it — choosing the right type of test, preparation, reading the report and deciding on the next steps — can be fully covered by video. This is exactly what the online consultation with an endoscopist is designed for.
During the appointment the doctor works with what you already have: the report of your endoscopy, gastroscopy or colonoscopy, MRI or CT images and test results. They explain where the symptoms come from, adjust your treatment, advise where the next procedure can be done and set out how to prepare for it. Patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease, gastritis, colitis or reflux often choose this format.
For reviewing documents, a video appointment gives the same result as a visit to the consulting room: you get a detailed interpretation of your tests and step-by-step recommendations. The limitation is just as clear: a physical examination and the endoscopy itself cannot be done remotely, so in some cases the doctor refers you to the clinic straight away. All appointments are held in line with medical confidentiality.
MediUkraine arranges an endoscopist who specialises in digestive diseases, agrees a convenient time, gives you access to a secure video platform and supports you at every stage, from collecting your earlier results to the follow-up appointment.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

The type of online consultation is chosen to suit your situation: your symptoms, whether you already have results and what you want from the appointment. It may be a first appointment, a follow-up assessment after an examination or an extended interpretation of endoscopy, gastroscopy, colonoscopy or digestive MRI reports.
The basic option is a first online consultation: the doctor reviews your symptoms, medical history and test results and draws up a preliminary treatment plan. This is where you start when there is no diagnosis yet and you would rather not spend a day on a clinic visit.
A follow-up consultation is for those who have already had an endoscopic examination or a course of treatment. The doctor goes through the results, explains the findings, adjusts the treatment or prepares you for repeat testing. This format is useful after procedures and for chronic inflammatory diseases of the digestive tract.
A second opinion consultation gives you an independent assessment from an experienced endoscopist. The doctor reviews your previous results in detail, compares them with international guidelines and suggests alternative treatment options, which lowers the risk of inappropriate prescriptions and makes it easier to choose a well-founded approach.
All formats take place over a secure video connection with medical confidentiality. You receive professional recommendations, a personalised plan of action and the option of further support, without travel or queues.
The conversation does not end with a preliminary diagnosis: next comes the stage of following the recommendations. The doctor may prescribe further tests, lifestyle changes or medication. In the first days after a change in treatment the body sometimes reacts with mild discomfort, which is an expected adjustment.
How soon you return to your usual routine depends on the recommendations: minor digestive problems need just a few days, while chronic conditions require longer monitoring. The endoscopist checks how well the treatment is working and, if needed, schedules a repeat online appointment or adjusts the prescription.
Follow the specialist's advice: drink enough fluids, eat regularly, and avoid alcohol, overeating and too much coffee. If you develop abdominal pain, nausea or feel worse, contact the clinic or book a repeat online consultation without delay.
Contact with an endoscopist is needed not only during a flare-up. Patients with chronic digestive diseases have examinations on schedule and repeat tests, and the video format is a way to stay under supervision between visits to the clinic.
During the appointment the doctor assesses the results of gastroscopy, colonoscopy or other tests, compares them with your symptoms — pain, heartburn, bloating, changes in bowel habits — and decides on the next steps in treatment. If needed, they prescribe further tests, medication or dietary recommendations, taking into account your age, condition and other illnesses.
An online consultation with an endoscopist needs no special preparation: just have the results of previous examinations to hand (if you have any) and a stable internet connection. If needed, the doctor will suggest monitoring over time or refer you to the clinic for an endoscopic examination.
When planning to see an endoscopist, it is worth considering not only the quality of care but also the total cost of the consultation, tests and follow-up. In Ukraine a remote appointment is a sensible choice: a moderate price, qualified specialists and no need to attend the clinic in person.
Why does it cost less? First, medical services in Ukraine cost less to provide than in EU countries or Turkey. Second, competition between private clinics means packages are itemised. You see in advance what the price includes: the length of the consultation, the explanation of results, written recommendations and, if needed, preparation for an endoscopic examination; items whose need only becomes clear during the conversation with the doctor are listed separately.
At the same time, care in Ukraine is professional: online appointments are conducted by experienced endoscopists who follow international standards, use secure communication platforms and provide detailed written reports. After the appointment you have a full plan of action, from preparing for gastroscopy or colonoscopy to the treatment regimen.
Key reasons for the affordable cost of online consultations in Ukraine:
▪ lower costs of medical services and premises
▪ transparent pricing and flexible packages for patients
▪ no spending on travel, accommodation or waiting in queues
Yes. Online consultations with an endoscopist in Ukraine follow current medical standards, with confidentiality and data protection. Communication takes place on secure platforms, where your privacy and the security of your medical information are protected by the service's technical safeguards and by rules on access to records.
Specialists follow international protocols and rely on the results of previous examinations (ultrasound, endoscopy, colonoscopy, gastroscopy, tests). From these the doctor assesses your digestive tract, makes a preliminary diagnosis, prescribes treatment or refers you for further tests.
When choosing a specialist, look at their experience, certificates, patient reviews and how easy they are to communicate with. MediUkraine puts you in touch with an endoscopist at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod.
The next step is simple: send your request, agree a time and send the results you have before the appointment.
