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 online consultation with a surgeon has clear limits, and it is worth knowing them in advance: remotely, the doctor cannot palpate the area, assess tension in the abdominal muscles or examine a wound by touch. So everything depends on what you show and tell: discharge summaries, operation notes, scans, photos of the area and the order in which your symptoms appeared. From this information the surgeon determines how urgent the situation is.
The appointment itself is a structured interview: when the first signs appeared, what makes them worse, whether you have had operations or have chronic conditions, which medicines you take. The doctor then reviews the materials you provided (test results, scans, imaging reports) and reaches a conclusion: whether you need an in-person appointment, further tests, or whether conservative treatment is enough. This format helps patients with limited mobility, those who live far from specialist centres and those who need a second opinion.
MediUkraine arranges a consultation with a surgeon of the right specialty at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod and takes care of the organisation: agreeing the time, passing on documents and protecting the confidentiality of your data. Patients of any age with a wide range of surgical problems can get in touch, from questions about planned surgery to monitoring afterwards.
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.

At the appointment the surgeon reviews your laboratory and imaging results through MediUkraine and talks through the possible ways of managing your condition. The first is conservative treatment: medicines, physiotherapy and a special regimen. It is considered for inflammatory conditions, small disc herniations, post-inflammatory complications and other conditions that do not need immediate surgery.
Minimally invasive technologies are an intermediate step between conservative and traditional surgical treatment. They include endoscopic procedures, arthroscopy, sclerotherapy and other methods with less tissue damage and shorter rehabilitation. The surgeon determines whether this approach is indicated at the consultation.
Traditional surgery remains necessary for acute conditions, advanced disease, injuries and cancer. The specialist will talk through the indications, possible risks, the expected result and alternative options, and MediUkraine then coordinates treatment at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod.
Rehabilitation after surgery determines both the quality of the result and how quickly you return to normal life. Through MediUkraine you can contact an experienced surgeon who will set out the sequence of recovery steps according to the type of operation and your health.
At the appointment the doctor gives specific guidance: what physical activity is acceptable, how to care for the wound, what to take and when, and how long the tissues take to heal. The doctor also discusses the complications to watch for and decides whether you need outpatient rehabilitation or physiotherapy. Booking such a conversation is easier than waiting for an in-person appointment.
A timely consultation helps you avoid typical mistakes during recovery, shortens the period of pain and swelling and increases the likelihood of a good functional result. If the wound becomes red, you develop a fever or the pain is getting worse instead of easing, contact the doctor straight away without waiting for the scheduled check-up.
An online consultation with a surgeon starts with booking through MediUkraine: you choose a convenient time and join a video meeting with the doctor, who reviews your complaints, medical history and test results.
This is followed by a detailed interview, recommendations on further diagnostics and a preliminary treatment plan. Based on your symptoms and the materials you provide, the specialist determines whether surgery or conservative treatment is needed. If a physical examination cannot be avoided, the surgeon will refer you to the partner clinic.
This approach suits patients who need a second opinion from a qualified surgeon and those who find it difficult to arrange a personal visit to a healthcare facility.
An online consultation with a surgeon through MediUkraine carries no mark-up for a clinic's brand or infrastructure. At facilities in Western Europe and the USA a first appointment often costs EUR 150–300, while prices in Ukraine are shown in the table above. The difference arises not from the quality of the service but from the different ways medical services are priced in different countries.
As an intermediary platform, MediUkraine saves you from having to approach private clinics directly, where administrative fees and booking commissions are added to the price. Through our portal you go straight to a video appointment and do not waste time travelling and waiting in corridors.
The surgeons hold a state licence and have practical experience at a multidisciplinary hospital. Their qualifications are sufficient to make a diagnosis, draw up a treatment plan and decide whether inpatient treatment is needed. A remote appointment works best at the stage of initial assessment and choosing the next steps.
An online consultation with a surgeon on MediUkraine takes place over a secure connection. All medical information shared during the appointment is stored in accordance with Ukrainian personal data protection law, and as the intermediary MediUkraine is responsible for confidentiality at every stage of your interaction with the doctor.
The surgeons who consult through our platform work at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, which undergoes regular inspections for compliance with sanitary and hygiene regulations and treatment protocols; this oversight keeps the specialists' advice within current protocols and evidence-based approaches.
During the appointment the surgeon asks about your condition, analyses your symptoms, reviews your medical history and orders any further tests needed. If an in-person examination or surgery is required, the doctor will give detailed recommendations on further treatment at a specialised facility.
📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
An online consultation with a surgeon is a remote appointment in which the doctor assesses your condition from your complaints and the documents you provide, without a physical examination. It takes place by video, via messaging apps or a telemedicine platform, and the outcome is professional advice, a referral for tests or treatment recommendations.
See the prices in the table above; the exact amount depends on the doctor's qualifications and the format of the consultation. Separate rates may apply to a second opinion and to post-operative follow-up at a fixed price.
Reasons include pain, swelling, a suspected hernia, varicose veins or inflammation, as well as monitoring after surgery. The format is also convenient when you need a second opinion or an explanation of ultrasound, MRI or laboratory results.
Gather all your test results (ultrasound, X-ray, blood tests), write down your symptoms, when they appeared and your questions for the doctor. With this preparation the specialist will understand the situation faster and give more precise recommendations.
Yes. A remote appointment is safe both during pregnancy and after surgery, when you need advice on care, diet or preventing complications without unnecessary trips to the clinic.
They include abdominal or limb pain, a suspected hernia, varicose veins, inflamed lymph nodes, swelling, wounds, purulent infections and monitoring after operations.
Part of a surgeon's work can be done entirely remotely. The doctor will clarify the diagnosis from your existing tests, assess the potential of conservative treatment, estimate the likely result of surgery in your situation and manage the post-operative period. Many surgical conditions, such as herniated discs, gallstones and varicose veins, end in full recovery after appropriate surgery, and the surgeon can outline this scenario at the online appointment.
What the format does not replace is the operation itself and the physical examination before it. Chronic and degenerative conditions need long-term management, although modern surgery noticeably improves quality of life and slows the progression of disease. MediUkraine gives you access to experienced surgeons who will consult you online, clarify the diagnosis and suggest a personalised treatment plan, and if needed refer you to the partner clinic for an in-person appointment.
