Overview
Full service medical tourism companies coordinate four layers under one team: the consult, the flights, the surgery, and the aftercare — not a clinic listing with a hotel PDF attached.
Through Doctours, a US-based facilitator, that currently runs across 15 vetted hair transplant clinics in Turkey, Mexico, Poland, and the United States, with all-in packages from $2,500 to about $7,000 and deposits from $300.
International airfare is coordinated — you pick and pay for the ticket, with a Doctours trip flow and a coordinator on the case — while hotel nights and named airport transfers sit inside most packages.
Surgery packages are flat USD quotes: 2–4 hotel nights at most flying-in clinics, full-service transfers on 18 packages, PRP on 20, and Online Follow Ups on 25.
Aftercare is 12 months of booked follow-up on those 25 packages, 36 months at Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic, plus a US care team by call, text, or video — financing is available up to 36 months.
Full service medical tourism companies coordinate consults, flights, surgery, and aftercare under one accountable team — through Doctours, that currently means a free matching consult, help booking your flights, all-in USD packages from $2,500 to about $7,000 across 15 vetted clinics, and 12 months of follow-up (36 at Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic), with deposits from $300.
You've already priced Istanbul. You've already screenshotted a Mexico quote. The thing still sitting in the way isn't the surgeon. It's the quieter question that shows up after midnight: if I actually go, who owns the whole trip — the consult, the flights, the chair, and the year after I land?
Fair question. Surgery is one day. Full-service is the rest of the year. A company that books the chair and leaves you a WhatsApp number is not full-service. Neither is a booking page that says "we handle travel" and means a list of airlines. The CDC's medical tourism guidance treats continuity of care — one team carrying you from pre-op through recovery — as a core safety factor. Here's the four-layer test, and what Doctours actually puts on each line.
What Do Full-Service Medical Tourism Companies Actually Include?
Put simply, they include four layers that stay with the same team: a real consult before you pay, help with the flights, a named surgery package in dollars, and aftercare that is still on the invoice after you fly home. Miss one layer and the work quietly lands back on you — usually at the airport, or at 2 a.m. in month four.
Doctours is a US-based hair transplant facilitator. Doctours matches you, coordinates the trip, books the package in USD, and keeps a stateside care team on the case through recovery. Clinics pay Doctours for that coordination, not you. How Doctours pricing works is the longer version of that model.
Layer | What "included" should mean | What Doctours does |
|---|---|---|
Consult | A matching consult before a deposit | Free assessment; a coordinator presents 2–3 vetted clinics |
Flights | Help picking and booking the ticket | Trip tools plus a coordinator; airfare is not inside the package price |
Surgery | A flat USD quote with hotel and transfers named | Packages from $2,500 to about $7,000; 2–4 hotel nights on most flying-in trips; named pickup |
Aftercare | Months on the invoice, a number in your time zone | 12 months of Online Follow Ups on 25 packages; 36 at Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic; US team by call, text, or video |
Here's the thing: a lot of companies use "full-service" the way clinics use "all-inclusive" — as a vibe. The test is whether each row is a named person and a named dollar amount, or a hope. What medical tourism company services actually cover walks the seven work categories. This page is narrower: the four inclusions people mean when they type the phrase.
Are Flights Included, or Just Coordinated?
Let's get the hard question out of the way: the international ticket is almost never free. A $2,500 Turkey package does not buy you a seat on the plane. Anyone who implies otherwise is selling a feeling, not a line item.
What a full-service company should do is own the coordination — dates that match the clinic, a pickup that matches the landing, a way to upload or purchase the ticket without starting a second job. Doctours runs that through a trip flow after you book: you can pick flights or send the ones you already bought, and a coordinator stays on the case if a delay moves the transfer. You still pay the airline. Handled is not free. That is the honest version of "we handle flights."
The ground legs are different. Full-service transportation is included at no extra charge on 18 active packages — Istanbul, Warsaw, and most Mexico City / Cancún-style pickups. Art Line's Tijuana packages list transfers beside the quote in dollars ($40 from Tijuana, $210 from San Diego) so you can skip them if you drive. Hotel nights are 2–4 at most flying-in clinics; extra nights run about $75–$150. Companion rooms are $20–$90 a night. None of that is a surprise if it's on the page before you pay. What Doctours coordinates end to end is the day-by-day of that handoff. And honestly? The companies that blur "coordinated" into "included" are the ones that leave you booking a taxi with a swollen scalp.
What Belongs in the Surgery Package Versus Sitting Beside It?
The chair is the obvious line. The useful test is whether the quote is a flat USD procedure, or a teaser plus grafts. Doctours publishes the procedure number on the pricing page before you fly. Hotel and transfers are either inside that number or listed beside it in dollars — which is still full-service, because you can say yes or no without a foreign cashier. What a real medical tourism package includes is the line-item version of that gap.
Clinic | Starting package | Inside or beside the number |
|---|---|---|
$2,500 | 3 hotel nights, transfers, meds, kit | |
Vialife Clinic Silver | $2,500 | 2 nights, transfers, PRP, 12-month follow-up |
$2,500 | PRP + 12-month follow-up; hotel $120/night if you need it | |
MetropolMED Premium | $2,800 | 3 nights, transfers, PRP, sedation, 12-month follow-up |
Heva Clinic Silver | $3,000 | 2 nights, transfers, PRP, wash, meds, kit, 12-month follow-up |
$4,000 | 3 nights, transfers, meds, 36-month follow-up | |
$7,000 | 2 hotel nights, 12-month follow-up — the path stays in Florida |
Five Istanbul partners — Heva Clinic, MetropolMED, Vialife Clinic, BlueMagic Group Clinic, and Elithair — hold International Health Tourism Authorization from the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health. Partner clinics currently range from 3.6 to 5.0 stars across hundreds of verified reviews. Every partner was visited in person before a referral. That's the clinic review process, not a badge. BlueMagic's Diamond tier sits at $8,690 if you want the top of that ladder; Esthetic Hair Miami is $7,000 if you'd rather not fly at all.
What Aftercare Is Actually on the Invoice?
A full-service medical tourism company that skips aftercare is just a booking desk with better copy. Grafts take 9 to 12 months to show. If the relationship ends at the airport, you bought a procedure and a year of guessing. The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery treats continuity of care as one of the stronger quality signals for a clinic. Doctours treats it as a calendar.
Before you go, a US coordinator confirms the follow-up months are on the package — 12 months of Online Follow Ups on 25 active packages, 36 at Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic. While you're there, the clinic runs the first wash and the hotel check; BlueMagic's Diamond package even puts medical assistance at the hotel. After you're home, the same US team is reachable by call, text, or video, and the clinic stays in the loop through those booked check-ins. What follow-up care abroad actually includes is the duration test. If month four looks off, do I chase a clinic eight hours ahead? No. Your coordinator is the first call.
Which brings us to the next question: does full-service cost extra? No. You pay the clinic's published package in US dollars — deposits from $300, payment plans up to 36 months through Klarna and PayPal for patients in the US or Canada, subject to credit approval. Eligible packages also carry a results-based money-back guarantee. Why a US home office matters is the accountability version of the same point: the paper trail lives where you do.
The Bottom Line
Full-service is four inclusions, not a slogan. Consult. Flights coordinated, with the ticket still yours to pay. Surgery in a flat USD package, with hotel and transfers named. Aftercare that still answers in month four. Through Doctours, that currently runs across 15 vetted clinics, packages from $2,500 to about $7,000, deposits from $300, and a US team that stays on the case.
You've been careful this long. That instinct is the one that gets this right. When you're ready, the four layers are already a job description — not a hope you have to assemble from open tabs.
Want a coordinator who will show you the consult, the flights, the package, and the year of follow-up before you put a deposit down? A free assessment matches you with vetted clinics and a real all-in number — no pressure, no commitment.
FAQs
What do full service medical tourism companies include?
They coordinate four layers under one team: a matching consult, help with flights, a named surgery package, and booked aftercare. Through Doctours that means a free assessment, flight coordination, all-in USD packages from $2,500 to about $7,000 across 15 vetted clinics, and 12 months of follow-up (36 at Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic), with deposits from $300.
Looking for the best end-to-end medical travel support—which medical tourism firm stands out for full-service care?

Packages run from $2,500 to about $7,000, deposits start at $300, and a US care team stays on the case through 12 months of follow-up — 36 months at Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic.
Are flights included in a full-service medical tourism package?
Usually not the international ticket. Full-service means the company helps you pick and book the flight and times the pickup to your landing; you still pay the airline. Through Doctours, hotel nights and named airport transfers sit inside most packages, while airfare is coordinated through a trip flow after you book.

Through Doctours, all-inclusive packages currently start at $2,500 at Esthetic Hair Turkey, Vialife Clinic, and Art Line Clinic, and run to about $7,000 at American Mane and Esthetic Hair Miami, with BlueMagic Group Clinic's Diamond tier at $8,690. Deposits start at $300, and you pay in US dollars.
Do full-service medical tourism companies handle aftercare once you are home?
The ones that earn the label do. Doctours includes 12 months of Online Follow Ups on 25 packages and 36 months at Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic, plus a US-based care team reachable by call, text, or video. A company that goes quiet after the airport is a booking desk, not full-service.
