Support from our website Bookimed
I liked the competence of the doctor. I recommend visiting this clinic. I did not like the registration of my visit to the clinic by the clinic administrator, as she indicated an outdated date of visit. I had to register my next visit to the clinic on the spot. Support from our website Bookimed.com is excellent

I would thoroughly recommend this service and the Kardiolitos Clinic
The healthcare and equipment were superb. The clinic is very impressive and the staff were professional, patient and extremely attentive. All the consultants we saw provided thorough examinations, and where needed, arranged immediate tests which were either conducted on site or we were transported and escorted by the reception staff to other facilities for more complex tests. Having spent 6 frustrating years trying to get a diagnosis in the UK, we came away after 5 days at Kardiolitos finally knowing what the problems are, and how the management of those medical issues could be managed in the future. This was all made possible by Anna at Bookimed who arranged the entire trip from start to finish, together with the help of the wonderful medical coordinator, Jolita, at the clinic. They were more than happy to help with information about local accommodation and local logistics. I would thoroughly recommend this service and the Kardiolitos Clinic.
