Plan the trip before you book the trip.

Use the first conversation to decide whether a Makati visit is worth planning before you commit to non-refundable travel.

• Send your country, timezone, target month, service interests, and main wellness goals.
• List medications, allergies, medical conditions, prior procedures, and current symptoms.
• Ask whether recent labs or records should be reviewed before you choose dates.
• Use the trip calculator with at least a $1,200 round-trip flight budget.
• Avoid tight, non-refundable flights until the clinic confirms a practical appointment window.

Move from general interest to a realistic itinerary with enough room for screening, rest, and follow-up.

• Gather recent blood tests, physician notes, and any relevant imaging or procedure history.
• Confirm appointment requests in Philippine Time and compare them with your local timezone.
• Choose a Makati hotel or serviced residence close to Centuria Medical Makati.
• Prepare a medication and supplement list with dose, frequency, and reason for use.
• Plan a travel companion if you expect language, mobility, or recovery support needs.

Keep the first day light so jet lag, hydration, meals, and transport do not compete with medical planning.

• Rest after long-haul travel before stacking appointments or leisure plans.
• Confirm the clinic WhatsApp thread, appointment time, and exact Centuria Medical Makati location.
• Schedule blood work early in the visit when labs are part of the plan.
• Keep meals, hydration, and sleep steady before consultation or IV therapy.
• Avoid booking multiple treatments or side trips until the care sequence is clear.

Treat the consultation as the decision point. Online planning is useful, but clinical review comes first.

• Disclose medications, allergies, symptoms, recent illnesses, and prior reactions.
• Ask about suitability, risks, contraindications, expected visit length, and aftercare.
• Confirm the protocol, price range, session duration, location, and who will supervise care.
• Ask whether home service is appropriate or whether clinic-based care is preferred.
• Do not treat an online estimate as a final diagnosis, treatment plan, or guaranteed service.

Leave with clear written next steps, especially if you are returning to a different healthcare system.

• Confirm follow-up timing and the best WhatsApp format for updates after you return home.
• Ask what symptoms should prompt urgent local medical care instead of waiting for a reply.
• Clarify limits for flights, heat exposure, alcohol, swimming, workouts, and side trips.
• Request copies of lab results, receipts, and any practical care notes you may need later.
• Keep a local urgent care plan for Manila and for your home country after travel.
