Questions
What people ask us first
Which languages do you speak?
English, Turkish and Russian, on WhatsApp, on the phone and during the visit.
How fast can a doctor come?
It depends on your district, the time of day and traffic. We send you the expected arrival time on WhatsApp before the doctor sets out, so you are never left guessing.
Is IV therapy suitable for everyone?
No. The doctor examines you and checks your medicines and allergies first. A drip is given only when it is medically appropriate for you.
Can I claim the visit on my travel insurance?
We give you a medical report and a receipt to submit to your insurer. Whether the cost is covered depends on your policy, so check its terms or call your insurer's assistance line.
What should I do in an emergency?
Write to us or call straight away. If your situation needs a hospital, we tell you which emergency department to go to and what to bring.
