British Airways and LOT fly into Chopin International Airport, which is 20 minutes from the clinic, while budget airlines Ryanair and Wizz Air fly into Modlin International Airport which is about 1 hour from the clinic.

If you bring your mobile phone with you, you are advised to speak to your mobile-phone company first to check that you have mobile-roaming setup on your account, as well as to find out how much you will be charged while abroad.
- While at the clinic
- Once you arrive, we will make every effort that you have the consultation with the surgeon on the same day.
