Getting Here
One trip to Surat, then home.
Surat is reachable from London and other major UK airports through one-stop connections via Mumbai, Delhi, or major Gulf and Asian hubs. We confirm your exact routing and timeline once your surgery date is set.
Accommodation
Hotels, serviced apartments, and hospital-affiliated guest services are available near the clinic. We share recommendations once your dates are confirmed — we don't book travel directly.
Travel insurance
Standard travel insurance often excludes elective surgery abroad — check your policy, and consider supplemental medical travel cover. We provide the documentation you need for insurance or your own records.
Cost, Honestly
A transparent quote, not a guess.
Cost depends on the procedure, the segment lengthened, the method used, and your travel and stay. What we can tell you plainly: it is typically a fraction of equivalent private costs in the UK. The exact figure follows a full consultation, and there are no hidden fees.
- Surgery & anaesthesia
- Hospitalisation
- Internal nail or device
- Imaging & monitoring
- Structured physiotherapy
- Follow-up consultations
No hidden costs. If revision surgery is ever needed, that's discussed as its own scenario and agreed with you in advance. Financing is available for qualified candidates.
How It Starts
The consultation process.
Everything begins virtually — no flight required until you've decided to proceed.

Imaging review
Prior X-rays or scans are uploaded digitally where available, and reviewed in detail to help confirm the right approach for you.
Decision & planning
Once you decide to proceed, you receive a transparent cost quote and a clear timeline, and arrange your flights to Surat.
Surgery in Surat
You arrive ahead of your procedure for final consultations, undergo surgery, and stay briefly for initial recovery before travelling home.
After You Go Home
Recovery continues, wherever you are.
Once you're back in the UK, your recovery is coordinated remotely with your local physician — imaging, physiotherapy guidance, and check-ins continue for as long as you need them. You do not graduate from our care.
FAQ
Questions from UK patients.
Why do UK patients consider surgery in Surat?
For the combination of an internationally trained surgeon, rigorous long-term follow-up, and pricing that is typically a fraction of equivalent private care in the UK — with a transparent quote and no hidden fees.
What about travel insurance?
Standard travel insurance often does not cover elective surgery abroad, so check your policy carefully; supplemental medical travel insurance may be worth considering. We provide the medical documentation you need to support insurance or your own records.
Can my physiotherapy happen back in the UK?
Yes. We provide a detailed physiotherapy protocol that a local physiotherapist can follow, with our team available for guidance throughout your recovery.
What happens if there's a complication once I'm home?
It's reviewed remotely, through imaging and video consultation, by the same team that performed your surgery, coordinated with your local physician. Any further treatment is discussed and agreed with you before it happens.
