I was under supervision during my pregnancy at this center and later gave birth here as well, though with a different doctor. I have no complaints about the doctors or the medical equipment — everything was at a good professional level.
However, there are serious issues with the administrative staff. The receptionists couldn’t answer basic questions — they just told me to call the call center. The organization of event for expectant mothers also left much to be desired, as did the process of signing the contract.
The rooms themselves are very nice — well equipped, with everything necessary for both mother and baby after birth. Some of the nurses were absolutely amazing — they were incredibly supportive after the surgery and helped a lot with baby care!
Cons: the food is terrible with very limited options. If you give birth with an invited doctor, you’ll receive noticeably less attention from the on-duty staff. The daily checkups mostly consisted of a quick “Is everything okay?” — and after a C-section, the doctor’s examination was very superficial, through the dressing, with no ultrasound or other tests performed. I found that quite strange.

Very positive experience with Dr Bodoky and his assistant. He speaks perfect English and makes the patient feel comfortable, you can feel his human warmth, which is important coming from a doctor. He is one of the most reputable doctors in his area of expertise.
Very quick referral and diligence.
The clinic is also very nice and modern. Everything goes smooth and punctual.
Totally recommend.

It is close to the center of the Budapest, the location is great and not so crowded. It is very very clean and everybody is so polite and nice. They helped in my all questions and guided me perfectly. They speak English, Hungarian and Turkish. And the prices are not so expensive comparing to other Private medical centers. I strongly recommend.

I visited Dr. Kósa Melánia for a consultation about some medication I wanted to take. As a foreigner, I really appreciated that she speaks English perfectly, which made communication very easy and comfortable. She took her time to do all the necessary examinations and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I felt listened to and well cared for throughout the entire appointment. Overall, I am very happy with my experience and highly recommend her.
