The professionalism of the doctors is top notch
The professionalism of the doctors is top notch. The availability of modern equipment is attractive. The medical staff is attentive and responsive to patients. Excellent work of the international department in terms of logistics and translators, which allows you to concentrate as much as possible on the diagnosis and communication with doctors. Availability of separate rooms per patient during hospitalization. Ensuring adequate prices for hotel rooms. In simple words: the transfer operates from the airport to the hotel and back, daily to the clinic and back to the hotel. There was always a translator with us at the clinic who took us where we needed to go. We received professional medical care.
In this section I would like to note the excellent work of the translator Ayla. A wonderful young woman who exudes confidence, calmness and positivity.
I wish all translators were like Ayla).

"Thanks to the translators Aysalkyn and Sofya
Hello! I went through a check-up at the clinic and took my daughter for an examination, everything went well, the only transfer arrived late on the 1st day of the appointment and we got to the doctor later than we booked. Then we were picked up an hour before the appointment or examination, and everyone had time ... Thanks to the translators Aysalkyn and Sofya
