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.
Remotely, the doctor works with what can be heard, seen on camera and read in documents: your description of the pain, how you move, and X-ray, MRI or CT images. Palpation and manual joint stability tests remain part of an in-person examination, so this kind of appointment is most useful where recent tests already exist or where the diagnosis is known and the aim is to adjust treatment.
The second typical scenario is a second opinion. Before surgery or after a conflicting report, you show the same scans to a specialist at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod and hear an independent assessment. You do not need to travel for this: it is enough to upload your test files and join the call at the scheduled time.
A separate group is patients after injuries and operations who need ongoing monitoring. The doctor sees remotely how the range of movement is recovering, assesses the response to physical exercise and decides when you can move on to the next stage of rehabilitation. This removes the need to travel to the clinic for every check-up.
A neglected injury can turn into chronic pain or incorrect bone healing, so pain that does not go away, swelling or restricted movement should be shown to a specialist straight away. Through MediUkraine you can choose an orthopaedic trauma surgeon at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod and arrange the call for a convenient day.
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 format is chosen according to your symptoms, diagnosis, existing tests and the purpose of the appointment. There are four basic options: a first appointment, a follow-up after treatment, an expert second opinion and a separate review of diagnostic images, such as X-ray, MRI or CT.
A first online consultation is for those who have developed back or joint pain or the after-effects of an injury for the first time. The doctor takes your history, identifies the likely cause of the pain, and prescribes treatment or additional tests. This appointment gives you quick orientation without a visit to the clinic.
A follow-up consultation is needed to assess progress after the prescribed treatment and to adjust medication or physiotherapy. It is convenient for patients after operations and rehabilitation courses, when monitoring is needed regularly but travelling to the doctor is not.
An online review of tests is a separate format: the orthopaedic surgeon reads your MRI, CT or X-ray images in detail, explains the results and gives a report and an action plan. This review is especially useful before a decision about surgery.
Modern telemedicine platforms give the doctor enough data to assess your condition remotely, and MediUkraine takes care of the rest: choosing the specialist, organising the video call and the next steps of treatment.
The appointment does not end with the video call. Based on it, the doctor draws up an individual treatment plan: medication, physiotherapy or a set of home exercises, depending on what you came with. Keep the plan in writing: you will need to show it to a rehabilitation specialist or your family doctor.
The first days after a change of treatment or the start of rehabilitation need attention: follow the recommendations, do not overload the injured area and watch how your body responds. If pain, swelling or restricted mobility appear during exercise, book a follow-up consultation without waiting for the scheduled date.
The time it takes to return to your usual activity varies. With mild sprains it is a few days; with complex injuries and after operations, up to several weeks. The doctor tracks your recovery at subsequent video calls and, if needed, changes the treatment or chooses other rehabilitation methods.
Short follow-up checks keep the process under supervision and reveal complications at an early stage. A fever, sharp pain or sudden weakness, however, are reasons to seek urgent in-person medical care where you are, without waiting for the next check, and then to let your doctor know through MediUkraine.
For those returning to sport or an active lifestyle after an injury or operation, talking to a doctor is part of rehabilitation itself. The question here is no longer "does it hurt" but "what load can I take today so as not to get injured again tomorrow". The answer changes every week, which is why such appointments make particular sense in the remote format.
The action plan is chosen individually. The doctor may refer you for an MRI, ultrasound or X-ray and assess muscle tone, symmetry of movement and the condition of the ligaments and joints. Based on the results, they draw up a personal rehabilitation programme, choose a set of exercises and set the load limits for your specific case.
Surgery is not always needed. When the pain or restricted movement is moderate, the doctor suggests a conservative approach: therapeutic exercise, adjusting your activity, physiotherapy and lifestyle changes. The final decision is made after a detailed analysis of the tests and taking into account your goals for returning to activity.
When planning to see an orthopaedic trauma surgeon, count not only the doctor's fee but also the cost of tests, follow-up consultations and rehabilitation. A remote appointment in Ukraine removes travel, accommodation and clinic stay costs from this bill.
Why is the price lower in Ukraine? Firstly, medical services and diagnostics cost considerably less here than in EU countries or the USA. Secondly, competition between private clinics keeps the terms transparent, without hidden charges. You get a consultation, a scan review and a treatment plan for a fixed fee, often on the same day.
At the same time, a lower price does not mean lower standards: the specialists work according to international protocols, carry out careful diagnostics, analyse MRI, CT and X-ray images and track your recovery at follow-up online appointments.
Yes, within the limits of the format. Online consultations with an orthopaedic trauma surgeon are carried out according to current medical standards, with confidentiality, data protection and full access for the doctor to your diagnostic results. The specialists work with digital images (MRI, CT, X-ray), video calls and medical platforms that give enough information for a detailed assessment without an in-person visit; if an examination in person is needed, the doctor will tell you.
You are seen by experienced orthopaedic and trauma surgeons who consult patients remotely and follow current diagnostic and rehabilitation protocols. You receive professional recommendations, a treatment plan, and referrals for additional tests or a follow-up examination, all remotely and with clear communication.
When choosing a specialist, look at their experience, the number of consultations carried out and patient reviews. MediUkraine finds a vetted doctor at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, agrees a convenient format for the online appointment and shows you an estimate without hidden costs.
