Booking FAQ
Booking your consultation
Practical answers about the process, cost, insurance and what to expect after you get in touch.
What happens after I submit the booking form?
Our patient coordinator reviews your message and replies within one working day by email or WhatsApp, in strict confidence. We'll suggest a time for an online consultation with Dr Bollens.
Is the first consultation online or in person?
The first consultation is typically a video call, so you don't need to travel. We review your history and imaging, then advise whether an in-person visit at our Dubai or Belgium center is appropriate.
How much does a consultation cost?
Consultation fees are shared privately when we confirm your appointment. We're transparent about pricing before you commit and answer any insurance questions upfront.
Do you accept insurance?
We work with several international and regional insurers (AXA, Daman, MetLife, Emirates, NAS, Mednet, Nextcare and more). Coverage depends on your specific policy — send us your details and we'll check for you.
What information should I have ready?
A short description of your symptoms, how long they've lasted, and any previous evaluations, imaging or treatments. You can send documents securely after booking — nothing is required upfront.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Yes. You can reschedule or cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before your appointment — just reply to the confirmation email or message us on WhatsApp.
Is my information kept private?
Absolutely. All communications and medical records are treated with strict medical confidentiality and are only accessible to the clinical team involved in your care.
