International patients

Appointment and procedure information

Welcome to our Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center in Geneva. We regularly accompany patients from abroad for specialized consultations and surgical procedures.

The purpose of this page is to explain in simple terms the steps you need to take before coming here, the documents you need to submit, and how to organize your medical stay.

Initial contact

Before making an appointment, please send us the following information by e-mail or via our contact form:

• Your last name, first name and date of birth
• Your country of residence
• Your telephone number with international dialling code
• A description of the problem or desired treatment
• Your recent X-rays or scans (panoramic dental, CBCT, CT-scan,
  MRI as appropriate)
• Available medical or dental reports
• Your current medical treatments
• Any allergies you may have

These documents allow the surgeon to evaluate your situation and determine :

• whether remote consultation is possible,
• if additional tests are required,
• or if surgery can be scheduled directly.

Remote consultation

In some cases, an initial consultation can be organized by videoconference.

This consultation allows you to :

• analyze your medical records,
• discuss treatment options,
• explain the benefits and risks of the intervention,
• organize your medical stay in Switzerland.

Following this consultation, a treatment plan and a cost estimate can be sent to you.

Organizing your medical stay

Depending on the type of operation, it may be necessary to stay in Switzerland for several days.

We recommend that you bring :

• flexible travel tickets,
• accommodation close to the practice or clinic,
• an accompanying person for certain operations,
• sufficient time before your return by plane if post-operative monitoring is required
  .

Our team can also guide you towards hotels or customized transport solutions.

Before your operation, certain documents may be requested:

• passport or valid ID,
• medical insurance or reimbursement documents,
