Does Astramedica provide treatment directly?

No. Astramedica coordinates access and logistics but does not provide medical treatment, diagnosis, or clinical services directly.

Who decides whether a patient is a candidate?

That decision belongs to the licensed physician or clinical team at the independent partner clinic, not Astramedica.

Why use a coordinator instead of contacting a clinic alone?

A coordinator can simplify provider matching, communication, scheduling, travel planning, and continuity support across the full medical travel journey.

Can a coordinator replace a second medical opinion?

No. A coordinator can help organize access and communication, but medical opinions and clinical judgments should come from licensed physicians.

Should patients send medical records through the public enquiry form?

No. Public forms are for general intake only. If detailed records are needed, the team should arrange a more appropriate channel with the clinic.

Key Takeaways

Astramedica is a coordination company, not a healthcare provider.
Medical decisions stay with the independent physician and clinic you choose.
The coordination role covers communication, scheduling, travel logistics, and continuity support.

Many patients understand what a hospital does and what a surgeon does, but they are less clear about the role of a medical-tourism coordination company. That distinction matters. Astramedica is a Virginia-based coordination platform that helps patients organize access, communication, travel planning, and follow-up logistics with independent partner clinics in Turkey.
