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).

The clinic has nothing at all, they say that it’s a university, but in fact an ordinary hospital, the specialists at the polyclinic level, took a bunch of tests right and wrong until the puncture, but they didn’t make a diagnosis, the neurologist Fakret did this without prescribing a diagnosis, prescribed cytostatics, it’s a feeling as if they just wanted to register for more tests so that they can tear off more money, the coordinators are separate THAT is terrible, the transfer from the airport had to wait 4 hours to get off, but if you leave the hotel 5 minutes later, the driver leaves and after that We have to wait about an hour car to leave the clinic again have to wait with the best scenario for 30 minutes, and then an hour and a half, actually one word to say or who do not recommend Medipol.

When we were going to go, we were told that we would have a lot of tests, a puncture, an MRI, etc. When we arrived, we were not placed where we planned, not for 35USD, but for 45 USD per day. When we arrived at the clinic, nobody took anything except for a blood test. As a result, that in Medipol, that in Ukraine we got the result word for word, the preparations were pricked by the very same ones as in Ukraine.
The clinic coordinator has not been seen once.
We had a girl translator - her name is Shazoda - a good, intelligent girl, she translated everything, but we did not see the coordinator.
We were told that they would give extracts in Russian and in English, but sent in Turkish. Thanks to Maxim Voloshin, he is our coordinator in Bookimed, a very clever boy, we received translations into Russian, thank him very much.
Without Maxim, we wouldn't do it at all
