Check who will treat you, how you will communicate and whether you receive an understandable written plan. A short stay in Istanbul should not determine the clinical decision; risks and responsibilities for aftercare need discussion.
Include continuity of care when choosing a clinic
The roles of the person giving information and the clinician planning and performing treatment should be clear. Examination, consent and treatment planning carry clinical responsibility; a general sales conversation does not replace them. Compare clinician details, address and contact channels with official sources.
Ask whom to contact after returning home, when a local examination would be needed and how the cost of a return journey would be handled. A process that can answer these questions in writing offers more than fast messaging alone. Access to treatment records and details of components such as implants also matters. Assess transparency, follow-up arrangements and whether you are given time to make your own decision.
Confirm the language of clinical communication
Ask which language you can use with the treating clinician and how interpretation would be arranged if needed. You need to understand consent and care instructions. Your plan should identify the clinician, treatment scope and follow-up contact; a sales discussion alone is not enough.
