I liked the service of the staff
I liked the service of the staff. The friendliness of the doctors. Cleanliness of the clinic, amenities. Very convenient, informative and fast transfer.
The food in the restaurant at the clinic is very good. The staff is attentive.
Communication by translators after the reception. Since November 14, we have not been able to obtain a report from a pediatric oncologist. Today is already November 23rd, and there is no answer. Only the translator gets in touch every once in a while and says that “tomorrow” they will tell everything.

The clinic is good. Doctors too, but the prices are very expensive. From the beginning, the coordinator and translator do not say that they have service packages. I found out about this by accident. Immediately upon payment, ask for a receipt and you will know exactly what and how much you have to pay for. On my first visit, it was the translator who told the cashier a different amount, but it turned out that the amount there was much less. It was precisely because of this that I asked Bookimed to change both the translator and the coordinator. Be carefull. I am very grateful to the Bookimed company, they are experts in their field, especially Marina, I can write to her at any time, she will gladly answer and help me. It was she who brought me to this clinic and she, through representatives, found out how much I appreciated the treatment. Although this was the coordinator's job. The coordinator was not there to help or pick up the phone at all and didn’t even answer lately. Apparently I didn’t like the fact that I already understood everything perfectly well. I don’t know the price of finding out this is something secret, I don’t know the permanent answer. They know everything very well and it has turned into a business. Pay the money and immediately get a check from the financial department. Also, if you have dollars, ask for the exchange rate in lira. Their rate in the database is different.
