Bottom line up front: Before paying any deposit, confirm every item on this consolidated checklist — each one is covered in more depth elsewhere on this site.
- Facility accreditation independently verified (JCI and/or national accreditation)
- Surgeon or physician board certification independently verified
- Itemized, written quote with a specific validity window
- Completed virtual consultation with the actual treating physician
- Written cancellation and rescheduling policy
- Clear payment schedule and deposit amount
- Currency denomination of your quote confirmed
- Sequencing plan clear, if booking multiple procedures
- Airport transfer arrangement discussed
- Buffer days built into your trip length, not just the minimum recovery window
Why this consolidated list matters
Each item individually seems manageable, but skipping several at once — often under time pressure or excitement to move forward — is where booking regret most commonly originates.
Work through this list with your provider via colombiacosmeticsurgery.com, colombiadentist.co, or colombianivf.com before sending any deposit.
The Takeaway
Print or save this list and go through it item by item before paying — a legitimate provider will patiently work through every item with you.
