About the clinic

Endoscopic cervical foraminotomy is a minimally invasive spine procedure performed at Carolina Hospital in Warsaw, Poland. The surgery may cost around 39,000 PLN and is led by Dr. Maciej Bujko, a neurosurgeon with _doctor_5077_years_ of experience and over 2,500 procedures performed.

Dr. Bujko specializes in endoscopic spinal surgery and holds international instructor qualifications in RIWO Spine techniques. His posterior approach removes cervical disc herniations through a small incision. This allows faster recovery than traditional open surgery.

Treatment package includes:

Endoscopic foraminotomy with anesthesia
Medical materials and prosthesis
1-day hospital stay in private room
Pre-op MRI of one area
Surgeon consultation and lab tests
1 hour post-op physiotherapy

The hospital is ISO 9001:2015 certified and recognized as a FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence. Patients typically need only 1 day hospitalization and can move the same day after surgery. Most stay in Poland for 2-3 days total.

This endoscopic method causes less tissue damage than open surgery. It helps patients with nerve compression symptoms like arm pain or weakness. Contact the clinic for personalized cost details and procedure suitability.

Halyna • Spinal stenosis

Verified review.

I was most anxious about the upcoming consultation, but all my fears were dispelled almost immediately. Neurosurgeon Yuri Stenyuk spoke to me at great length, taking his time, answering all my questions and explaining the treatment plan in such a way that I had no doubts left. That was important. The whole process, from the first call to the coordinator right through to the arrangements at the clinic itself, was clear and straightforward. The coordinator, Sergey Kravets, was constantly checking in on me and offering support. The staff worked seamlessly and professionally. I feel I am in safe hands. There were no unpleasant surprises.

The attentive care provided by neurosurgeon Yuri Stenyuk and the caring staff at the Carolina Clinic. Excellent work by Bookingmed coordinator Sergey Kravets

Even though Bookimed staff was really helpful, the Carolina hospital in Poland I chose was quite disappointing. They were an hour late for their consultation. Even after the hospital said I couldn’t get a quote until I pay for consultation. After I did, they were an hour late for it. There was no one to contact to ask if the appointment was still on or cancelled and they didn’t reach out to me until after 1hr asking if I was ready for my consultation. No single apology for running behind schedule. Told them they were late and I had another appointment to catch up with, suddenly they offered to review my results offline and give me a quote since I can’t attend the consultation as if it was my fault I couldn’t attend it. I thought they couldn’t give a quote until they have a consultation. I was pissed with the unprofessionalism of the doctor/his secretary

Everything was top notch. Friendly staff at the reception. There was a language barrier, but a Russian-speaking girl quickly came up. They took me to the doctor. The neurosurgeon Tomasz Nitchuk was attentive. Explained everything. Gave answers to all my questions. And special thanks to Bookimed. Everything is operational# accessible. I recommend it to everyone. Good luck.

Viktoria Rosinska • Online Consultation with Neurosurgeon

Verified review.

The most terrible experience with a doctor in my life, and both my husband and I have the same opinion, I was not even examined once during 2 visits, apparently, he wanted to go home the first time, because there was no one else after me, I came with a question whether it is possible to get pregnant with my spinal injury, he immediately said yes, get pregnant, why do you ask? He didn't even ask me about my stabilisation or how my spine had healed, he wasn't interested in the consultation at all, he behaved disgustingly, he looked away from his computer twice, it looked like the doctor had "caught a star" and spoke to us as if he didn't even know what he was talking about... I've never seen such disrespect and arrogance from doctors in my life!

The overall impression was spoilt by the star doctor 👎🏽

That every time you come, you have to pay PLN 400 for each consultation, there is no second consultation, as in other normal clinics, absolutely no one is interested in you, "beautiful" private medicine

I paid PLN 350 for a consultation with a neurosurgeon, and the doctor didn’t really say anything, he said, like, I’ll give you the number of a rehabilitator, go to him, pay more and he will show you what exercises to do. For that kind of money, he had to show at least some minimum of exercises.
