How a surgeon consultation works
Maria reviews your medical history and confirms your suitability for Budapest treatment.
A virtual consultation is arranged with Dr Fabula — from your home, at a time that suits you.
The surgeon reviews your case, explains the procedure, and confirms his recommendation.
You receive a written treatment plan before you commit to anything.
Surgeon availability depends on clinical suitability and scheduling. DM2Medical coordinates the consultation — clinical decisions are made independently by the surgeon.
Patient stories
Real journeys. Real outcomes.
Every patient journey is unique. These are illustrative examples based on the kind of outcomes our coordination programme delivers.
“I'd been on the NHS waiting list for 14 months. After one call with Maria, I had a surgery date within three weeks. The hospital was modern, the surgeon spoke perfect English, and I was walking unaided before I flew home. I only wish I'd done it sooner.”
Executive client, London
Total hip replacement
Waited 14 months on NHS · Treated in 3 weeks via DM2Medical
“The coordination was seamless — every appointment, transfer, and hotel was arranged before I arrived. What I valued most was the transparency. Maria told me exactly what everything would cost upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees.”
Professional, Manchester
Bilateral knee replacement
Saved approximately 55% vs. UK private quote
“I was nervous about surgery abroad. Maria walked me through every step, connected me with the surgeon on a video call before I booked, and was available by WhatsApp throughout. The care felt genuinely personal — not like a medical package holiday.”
Retired professional, Surrey
Unicondylar knee replacement

Executive health screening + orthopaedic review

“I had a complete health screening plus a shoulder consultation in the same trip. The clinic was impressive — nothing felt rushed. Maria had pre-briefed the team on my history so they were already prepared when I arrived.”
Business owner, Edinburgh
Executive health screening & shoulder assessment
Equivalent UK private cost: £4,200 · Paid: £1,850
“After my hip replacement, I was worried about aftercare when I got home. Maria arranged a virtual follow-up with my Budapest surgeon two weeks later and made sure my UK GP had my full discharge notes. The continuity of care was exceptional.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about surgery, rehabilitation, coordination, and your patient journey.
DM2Medical is a UK-based medical travel concierge — not a hospital or clinic. We coordinate the full orthopaedic treatment journey in Hungary for UK patients: surgeon matching, treatment planning, travel, accommodation, rehabilitation logistics, hotel recovery stays, aftercare, and follow-up. Medical treatment is provided by our partner hospitals and surgeons.
Yes. Every orthopaedic surgery coordinated by DM2Medical includes a structured rehabilitation programme. This typically includes daily physiotherapy sessions starting within 24 hours of surgery, mobility progression support, a hotel recovery stay with continued outpatient physiotherapy, and a clear aftercare plan for when you return home.
After surgery (typically 2–3 nights in hospital), you move to a comfortable hotel while continuing daily outpatient physiotherapy at the hospital. Sessions focus on walking, mobility progression, strength building, and confidence. Standard recovery is days 3–7, with extended options up to day 14 or transfer to a specialist thermal rehabilitation centre.
DM2Medical coordinates hotel selection, booking, and all logistics around your recovery stay. After hospital discharge, you stay at a nearby hotel while attending daily physiotherapy sessions. We ensure the hotel is comfortable, well-located, and suitable for post-surgical recovery.
You leave Budapest with a full written treatment plan, exercise programme for home recovery, and all medical records securely transferred to your UK GP. Virtual follow-up consultations with your Budapest specialist are arranged. DM2Medical continues to support you after you return home.
There are two separate payments. You pay the hospital directly for all medical treatment (surgery, hospital stay, rehabilitation, medications). You pay DM2Medical separately for our coordination service. Our coordination packages are: Basic (£350), Premium (£650), and Concierge (£950). This keeps everything transparent — we never handle your medical payments.
Basic (£350) covers clinic matching, appointment booking, and travel guidance. Premium (£650) — our most popular — includes full treatment and rehabilitation coordination, direct clinic communication, WhatsApp support, and travel assistance. Concierge (£950) is fully done-for-you with travel planning, accommodation, transfers, and ongoing personal support throughout your stay.
No. DM2Medical is a medical travel concierge based in London. We do not provide medical treatment directly. All surgery, rehabilitation, and clinical care is delivered by accredited partner hospitals and experienced surgeons in Budapest. Our role is to coordinate the planning, logistics, communication, and support around your medical journey.
Budapest has advanced private hospitals with EU-accredited standards, experienced orthopaedic surgeons, robotic-assisted surgery (ROSA®), and significantly lower costs than UK private care. Scheduling is typically within 2–4 weeks (vs 18+ months on NHS). The city is just 2.5 hours from London with multiple daily flights.
A typical orthopaedic journey is 7–14 days. This includes pre-operative assessment, surgery, hospital stay (2–3 nights), and hotel recovery with daily physiotherapy. The exact duration depends on your procedure and recovery progress.
We strongly recommend it. Medical travel insurance provides financial protection and peace of mind. You can get an instant, no-obligation quote through our trusted UK-based insurance partner — designed specifically for medical travel.
