Жибек • Consultation with a neurologist Kazakhstan

"Thank you very much Bookimed, you are the best, you helped us a lot, especially thanks to Oksana and Anna, they always answered on time and put up with us for more than a month

Hello, we are from Kazakhstan. Came here for diagnosis and treatment of my son. We really liked the clinic. Neurologist Barış Metin explained everything to us in detail. We learned a lot about my son's illness. My son has hydrocephalus and even after the tests we found out that he has epilepsy, the VP-shunt works at an accelerated rate, so my son did not develop. Now we are receiving treatment. We hope it helps insha Allah. I also liked the staff, especially the translators, I forgot the names, but one of them even knows the Kazakh language. It was super convenient. Thank you very much Bookimed, you are the best, you helped us a lot, especially thanks to Oksana and Anna, they always answered on time and put up with us for more than a month. Praise be to Allah everything went well.

At the first consultation, the doctor promised us a 50% improvement in our son’s health, but on the contrary, his condition worsened. When we returned home, he began to get very sick; Perhaps the medications didn’t work and we went to the clinic. Unfortunately, they did not answer us. They did 7 sessions of ECT (Electroconvulsive therapy), which is very dangerous for epileptics, after which convulsive attacks began, which occurred several times a day. I was desperate and didn't know how to help. We had to hospitalize our son at a local clinic. Doctors requested an extract from the NP Istanbul clinic. I received the translation of the extract with difficulty after 20 days. I wrote to the translator about everything and he seemed to report to the doctors of the clinic. I waited a month, I thought that the doctors would get in touch and correct their mistakes and help in some way, but on the contrary, they again offer their services for a fee. I'm in great shock! I do not recommend this clinic to anyone!

I would recommend anyone that needs good doctors and hospitals to contact bookimed

My experience with bookimed.com was the best ! I am a foreigner living in Istanbul with so many hospitals in a very big city , it was hard for me to find the best hospital. I googled and made phone calls to hospitals for weeks but with Bookimed.com my life became easier.I sent them a message and they replied so fast , they called me and we spoke , the time was 23hrs Turkish time , I managed to get an appointment the next morning around 10 am …. They found me the best hospital , it’s a brain hospital NP hospital on the Asian side of Istanbul, reasonable price and they made sure I was picked and dropped to my destination! A staff member was waiting for us and helped to translate everything we needed! Great team work , great hospital ! I would recommend anyone that needs good doctors and hospitals to contact bookimed.com ! Thank you once more for the help given at no fees at all

I actually like the smooth administration system from the linkage up to the hospital visit

I actually like the smooth administration system from the linkage up to the hospital visit. The medical team are also good and professional. May be the interpreters could be more patient and understanding. Overall, it is a good experience and we are grateful for the link. Grazie.
