Dr Djinovic's All Inclusive Surgical Packages

Dr Djinovic has a policy of making the cost of the Sava Perovic Foundation's medical tourism packages transparent, certain, precise, straightforward and as all-inclusive as possible.

Sava Perovic Foundation's medical tourism packages include the surgical fee, the hospital fee, the patient's stay in a private room there, hospital food, medicine, nursing care and after care.

If international medical tourists provide Richard with their flight info, the Sava Perovic Foundation driver will be waiting for you at the airport, holding a sign with your name on it. He will also take you back to the airport when it is time to return home.

We also try to include as many other perks and medical tourism services as we can to give patients the best value for money and a pleasant, enjoyable visit to Belgrade despite the serious reason for their travel to Serbia.

NOT included in any package is the cost of your hotel, apartment, airfare, extra food not provided by the medical tourism hospital, phone calls, and any activities unrelated to the surgical procedure you are getting.

All medical or medically related costs are included in the PACKAGE price Dr Djinovic quotes to you before surgery — start to finish.

Everything non-medical is excluded.

Perks enjoyed by Dr Djinovic's guests usually include meeting the patient at Belgrade airport on arrival and providing transport to their appointment with the surgeon and getting them to the appropriate Belgrade clinic or surgical facility.

We also do our best to take the patient back to the airport when it's time to return home at the end of their Belgrade travel. We are not a taxi service but Dr Djinovic considers providing as much transport and medical tourism services as possible a part of being a good host to his patients who travel to Serbia for surgery abroad.

On rare occasions, an arriving patient cannot find the driver at Belgrade airport. However, all medical tourists traveling to Serbia have previously been given Dr Djinovic's personal cell phone numbers, those of the medical tourism hospital or Belgrade clinic and those of the Sava Perovic Foundation office so he/she can easily communicate with the surgeon and catch a taxi to downtown Belgrade if necessary.

Although technically NOT related to the medical nature of your visit, it is still standard Serbian hospitality for our guests and we are happy to provide the service whenever possible.

A patient's case files contain his/her flight arrival and departure details but the busy surgeons appreciate a few reminders because we have many medical tourists coming and going all the time.

Perks might also include a Belgrade tour on the way from the airport and possibly the loan of a cell phone so friends and loved ones can more easily phone Serbia while you are there.

For the return trip to Belgrade airport when you have finished visiting Serbia, talk with Dr Djinovic about your outbound flight and what time you need to be at the airport a couple days before and the day before your departure.

It's a perk we are pleased to provide and you can help us help you by reminding us of the details a day or two before departure.

Again, we are not a taxi service but we are happy to provide all the medical tourism services we can and get you to the airport for your return home.

Richard will provide you with full contact details for the doctors, hospital and Sava Perovic Foundation office manager when you provide your flight details.

Have that info in your pocket on arrival, not in your luggage. We recommend you send a portrait photo for the driver to use in recognizing you at the airport.

Book plane tickets ONLY after you have a confirmed appointment for surgery or a consultation!

Always try to book a flexible return ticket that allows you to stay longer if you need it without a penalty charge.

If a patient experiences complications that tremendously increase the cost of the surgery, treatment and/or after care, Dr Djinovic traditionally pays that out of pocket and does not pass it on to the patient.

Our role model, Sava Perovic, was a great example we try to emulate in our interaction with patients.

Package prices have remained the same since about 2007. Surgical fees are under review and some are likely to be increased in 2012.

We cannot predict if surgical fees will be the same in six months, in a year or even further ahead in the future. Dr Djinovic does surgery five or more days a week from dawn to dusk and cannot keep up with demand which is endless. His fees are a fraction of US prices and the results are far superior.

We understand doctors and/or hospitals you have dealt with in the past may have hid costs and/or added items to the bill that were not mentioned BEFORE surgery which made it much more expensive than the original cost quoted.

That is not unique to your country. It is quite common. But that is not the way Dr Djinovic practices medicine nor the way of Professor Perovic.

Dr Djinovic is completely transparent and straightforward.

He honors his word and always maintains quoted package prices — regardless of what strange, unique or unexpected things he may encounter during surgery.

You will find that not only is Dr Djinovic the top urogenital reconstructive surgeon on the planet, he is also kind, gentle, highly ethical and a great person to know.

You can expect everything in Belgrade and everything about the Sava Perovic Foundation to be as previously explained.

All tests that should be done the week BEFORE ARRIVAL are, of course, NOT included in package prices.

Travel to Serbia for healthcare tourism is well organized and streamlined.

For procedures that require approval by psychiatrists or qualified mental health professionals, the original psychiatric evaluations approving surgery (on the professionals' official stationary and with their signatures affixed) MUST be hand delivered to Dr Djinovic when you go to Belgrade.

Do NOT send them by any other means.

Belgrade accommodation within walking distance costs Euros 50 to 60 per night. Nearby furnished apartments are also easily available and excellent value for money but you must book them in advance because they are popular.

Both children and adults need to be healthy without any active illness to be suitable candidates for urogenital reconstructive surgery. A number of PRE-ARRIVAL tests are required and mandatory.

Dr Djinovic performs all surgery and is assisted by:

• Dr Vlada Pesic; and/or
• Dr Nikola Stanojevic.

Get all the answers and information you need to get the surgery abroad you want by doing all of the following:

• 1) inform us of the date you most prefer to have your surgery performed (you will need to arrive in Belgrade the day before);
• 2) submit your medical history (optional but advisable — and if you experience any error, you can use the "Go back one page" button of your browser, add any missing date, and resubmit with a new security code without losing all your form data);
• 3) send digital photos of your genitalia ONLY if the photos would be RELEVANT such as for hypospadias, FtM phalloplasty or MtF revisions or corrections, penile girth enhancement, Peyronie's or other penile curavature correction. Shoot photos from left, right, center, above and below. For penises shoot photos in both flaccid and erect states. Instructions for sending the photos are found on our web page about Sending Urologic Photos & Medical Imaging. DO NOT SEND PHOTOS AS EMAIL ATTACHMENTS!!

Dr Djinovic cannot keep up with demand for complex surgeries. Currently, some procedures are fully booked months in advance — or more. Some days six months ahead are already fully booked.

Book appointments well in advance to avoid delays and disappointments.

Check the doctor's schedule, then propose the date you most prefer that appears to be available.

You can find the most current schedule of Dr Djinovic on this page.

Many patients get their first choice of a surgery date but not all. We recommend you propose a Plan A and a Plan B.

You must arrive in Belgrade AT LEAST one day before scheduled surgery for your pre-op consultation and physical exam.

Dr Djinovic recommends you come earlier than needed and stay longer than the minimum amount of time medically mandated. Minimum medically indicated length of time in Belgrade never includes arrival and departure dates.

For penile girth enhancement using scaffolds and tissue engineering, the day before surgery you will need to give blood from which the serum is made that seeds the scaffolds that will be used.

Postponement of scheduled surgery must be done at least seven (7) days in advance.

Two weeks before your surgery, notify us that you are indeed coming and reconfirm your appointment made months in advance. If surgery made far in advance is NOT reconfirmed, the appointment may be given to another patient. Of course, we will also try to contact you to reconfirm the appointment.

It is NOT necessary to fly to Belgrade for only a consultation if enough information and photos are provided to enable a long-distance evaluation.

Neither a face-to-face nor a long distance consultation oblige a person to get any surgery.

If you are a nationality that must have a visa to visit Serbia, we'll help you get one to come for surgery but it is far too much work for only a visit only to consult Dr Djinovic.
