Rest assured, all your personal medical information will be held in the strictest of confidence.
Yes, applying on your own through the hospital is an option, but there are a few things to consider, first.
Be informed, unlike with our streamlined services, the hospital will require you to visit through their “medical tourism department.” This means you will be set-up to work with a specialist available at your time of contact, and not with a specialist of your choosing. It is also important to note, you will not be guaranteed a specific timeframe to get applications and other paperwork translated and filled out, nor get your diagnostics, exams and procedures complete, in the period of time for which you have available.
To ensure a proper schedule of pre and post treatment and care at the hospital, which matches the timeframe you have available; and to get your choice in specialist, contacting and consulting with our professional and friendly staff, would be in your best interest.
With our expertise, available to you; one-on-one, we will draw up a feasible and efficient schedule for you to get through all the paperwork, diagnostic, examinations and treatment with ease, and at the most convenient time for you, and with the best Israeli specialist.
Yes, we provide you with all the necessary documents needed for you to apply for your tourist visa.
