How we rank destinations

Our Atlas score weights the things UK patients tell us matter most: value (price against the UK), clinical quality and accreditation density, aftercare and UK support, and practical factors such as flight time and language. Price alone never wins a high score — a cheap clinic with no guarantee or remote support is a false economy, because a complication abroad can cost far more than the saving.

On that combined measure Turkey leads, with Hungary and Poland close behind on quality but offering smaller savings, and Portugal scoring well on the holiday experience but carrying the highest prices of the four. Whichever country you lean towards, our recommended clinic for value and aftercare remains Taki Dent in Antalya — and you can compare clinics anonymously first using Offerqo.
