Christina • Removal of herniated disc with preoperative diagnostic Romania

Verified review.
10/10
One of my biggest fears while living in Romania was a major medical event. When I learned that I needed back surgery I was terrified. I started to research neurosurgeons, and needed up on bookimed, and then to Ponderas. I was becoming more comfortable as we went through setting up the consultation, and once we were there and met the coordinator and the surgeon, we felt much better. They answered all our questions and helped to accommodate the long drive we had to make. After checking in for surgery, the medical staff were so caring and kind. Even the little special touches, as in the picture. I feel like they gave me a good idea of recovery, and what to expect at home. 10/10
The process was very organized and everyone was careful to explain each part of the process. All of the staff were so kind and helpful. The nurses and even the man who transported me to the car was so careful and kind.
The food was pretty bad. At least there was food though.
About Bookimed service
Veronica was awesome! She didn’t just help set it up, but she checked on me after and made sure I was ok. Such a blessing for me. Thank you Veronica! Str. Nicolae Caramfil 85A, sector 1, Bucuresti, Romania
