Second opinion first — before you commit

Not yet sourced

Having your existing diagnosis re-read here is the cheapest way to test a hospital's quality before booking anything. Prices land per hospital with sources — never estimated.

A second opinion changes the plan often enough that specialists expect to be asked for one — it's a normal request, not an insult. Remote-review prices are being collected per hospital.

    See the right specialist

    Care for alzheimer's disease starts with a neurologist, who confirms the diagnosis and plans the next steps.

    Diagnosis & tests

    The diagnosis is confirmed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Computed Tomography (CT) Scan.

  3. 3

    Treatment options

  4. 4

    Treatment or management

    The chosen option is carried out or the condition is managed — every option below links to its own price page with a recovery timeline.

  5. 5

    Follow-up & monitoring

Framework pathway modeled by field — per-condition clinical pathways replace it as they're sourced.

Choosing between the options

Modeled preview

What actually decides between the treatments above — and the checklist an expert would put to the specialist.

Decision factors

  • 1How advanced the condition is — stage or severity narrows the menu first
  • 2Your goal: cure, control, symptom relief or appearance
  • 3Downtime you can afford — the options below differ by weeks
  • 4Total cost with travel and follow-up, not just the sticker price
  • 5Your overall health and fitness for anesthesia

Ask the specialist

  1. 1How many of this exact procedure did you perform last year?
  2. 2What is your complication and revision rate for it?
  3. 3What anesthesia will be used, and who administers it?
  4. 4Who manages my aftercare once I fly home, and how?
  5. 5What exactly is included in the quoted price — and what isn't?

A planning frame — suitability is always the specialist's call.

Taiwan for medical travel — safety, recourse & visa

Sourced Full Taiwan guide →

What matters if it goes wrong, and what it takes to get there — country-level, verifiable guidance in one place.

Visa
Tiered visa-free entry by nationality (Bureau of Consular Affairs, BOCA): 90 days for ~57 countries (most of the EU, US, UK, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Israel and others); 30 days for Malaysia, Singapore and several Caribbean/Central American states; 14 days for Oman; a running trial 14-day visa-free scheme for Thailand, Brunei and the Philippines (through 2027-07-31). All other nationalities require a visa. British and Canadian nationals can extend their 90-day visa-free stay by a further 90 days (max 180 days total). Confirm your nationality's current rule before travelling.
Medical / long-stay visa
Taiwan has a DEDICATED short-term medical-treatment stay-visa ('外籍人士來台短期就醫申請停留簽證', BOCA's foreign-nationals stay-visa category #13), distinct from tourism/business visas — a materially stronger, more explicit medical-visa regime than Turkey's (which has none). Eligibility is gated on two conditions: the treated condition must be on MOHW's published list of diseases eligible for foreign/PRC-resident treatment in Taiwan, and treatment must be at one of MOHW's published 'International Medical Service Internationalization' member institutions (mostly in Taipei). Requirements: proof of funds or a payment agreement with the Taiwan institution, a diagnosis certificate from a foreign hospital, a treatment plan from the Taiwan institution, and a round-trip ticket. Up to 2 accompanying persons are allowed (spouse/relative within the 3rd degree, or 2 home-country medical staff); emergency medical visas can be filed directly by the Taiwan medical institution with BOCA.
