I am very glad that I was with doctor Vaiva, a very nice, competent doctor!

I would like to express my initial gratitude to the curator of the bukimed platform, for help in finding a clinic, for all communication with the clinic and for the complete organisation of my trip. I would also like to thank the curator of the Cardiolita clinic, Diana, for quick decisions in all matters! I was in Lithuania at the Cardiolita Clinic and had a septoplasty, I am very glad that I was with doctor Vaiva, a very nice, competent doctor! All the preparation and the operation itself went according to plan, as agreed in advance, which I am very happy about. I am very pleased with the experience of co-operation with bukimed platform, and I will come back for more services!

What I liked most was all the communication and preparation, everything was crisp!

They fed us delicious food, just like at home

The staff were very attentive. They often asked my girlfriend and me how we were feeling. They were very friendly. They fed us delicious food, just like at home. They stayed in touch with us after the operation. When we first arrived in Vilnius, they met us and took us to our apartment. The next day, they took us to the clinic for the operation and then brought us back. We are very satisfied.

I had lower eyelid blepharoplasty in January 2026. The stitches were removed a week after the operation. I had no bruising. The scars are almost invisible. I used to have dark circles under my eyes, but now they are gone. It's been two weeks and the swelling has gone down. I look fresher. I am happy with the results. I am very grateful to Eva, the doctor who performed my surgery. She does her work precisely, carefully, without noticeable scars. Eva, thank you so much. I wish you success in your profession, your work, and everything else. Sincerely, Angelica.

I cannot emphasise enough how positive my experience was under Doctor Kamile Tijunele

I decided to travel to Lithuania for cosmetic surgery after much research and deliberation. I was very impressed with my video calls with Doctor Kamile Tijunele. She gave me a lot of time, asked me questions, listened and proposed a lower face deep-plane facelift with fat grafting. We discussed this over a few calls. Doctor Kamile was extremely receptive to listening to all my concerns & reassuring. I decided to put my faith in her, and it was the best decision I could have possibly made. From the get-go, Doctor Kamile was not just professional, but also patient and kind. She went out of her way to ensure I was comfortable both physically & mentally. The surgery went very well. The care I received in the clinic from her and all the team was second to none. I was very appreciative of the efficiency & high standards provided by all. I could not be happier with my results & would have no hesitation in recommending this clinic and this doctor. Doctor Kamile is a wonderful doctor & a wonderful person. She takes great pride in her work & is also a very empathetic human being. The aftercare was incredible, and I do mean that quite literally. I was driven to all my appointments & was never left waiting & wondering, everything was prompt & communication throughout was impeccable. A special mention also to Diana, the international coordinator at the clinic. She was always contactable, always helpful and kind. I cannot emphasise enough how positive my experience was under Doctor Kamile Tijunele. Quite honestly, without reservation, 5 stars! And if it were possible to give more stars, I would give them. Thank you Doctor Kamile Tijunele for your expertise, your work & your kindness. If only all doctors were like you!

Incredible efficiency. Amazing doctor. Excellent care. Very attentive staff.

Nothing. Everything was spot on.,
