Special thanks to our interpreter, whose professional assistance ensured comfortable and productive communication with the doctor
As part of our first contact with your clinic, we encountered minor difficulties in navigation. However, thanks to the prompt support of the supervisors and the international department, all organisational issues were successfully resolved. Special thanks to our interpreter, whose professional assistance ensured comfortable and productive communication with the doctor, allowing us to receive comprehensive answers to all our questions and necessary recommendations.

Hello.
We did not visit the clinic, we had a Skype conference on 05/30/19, at which Dr. A. Russi, through an interpreter, told his vision of the problem of epilepsy in children, ordered additional tests to adjust the dose of the drug (which was prescribed by Ukrainian doctors) and the purpose of treatment, assured accompanied by treatment for six months.
We sent the test results on 01.06.19, today 06.06.19 treatment is not prescribed. Our questions came the answer that the doctor advises once a week and it is not clear what day.
We hope that the answer will come, the child will recover, but so far the sediment is not very good.
If the same attitude is right in the clinic, then there is no point in going there

- "My family and I remember the time spent in Teknon with warmth and gratitude to all who were with us for this short time
On January 21, we arrived at the Teknon clinic late at night, which pleasantly surprised us without any problems settled in the ward and the examination began in the morning. The clinic impressed us.
The medical staff was incredibly polite and friendly. Everything, two days of examinations passed easily and naturally.
Many thanks to the international department, Irina, who was in touch with us even at night, Olesya, who led us from September to January and reacted and responded to all my letters. Maria, who monitored all the sensors and indications during the examination and of course Dr. Antonio Russi!
During the first 10 years of treatment of epilepsy, I heard a phrase from which all doctors fended off, as in Ukraine as in Russia. Need to find the CAUSE of epilepsy! It plays a crucial role in the selection of treatment. It is also worth noting that the participation of these wonderful people in the acquisition of essential drugs in Spain (we just brought them to the house)
My family and I remember the time spent in Teknon with warmth and gratitude to all who were with us for this short time. And something tells me that we will meet with you next year) once again, many thanks to all those who were next to us, Irina, Olesya, Maria, Kirill (thanks for calling back September and introduced us to the doctor in Kiev) and of course a special thanks and kowtow to Dr. Antonio Russi.

"I am pleased with his opinion"
We had an online consultation with Prof. Rusi regarding epilepsy in a three year old child. I am pleased with his opinion, he was comprehensive and took up follow up therapy if needed!

"I liked the doctor, it is clear that he is a professional in his field
I liked the doctor, it is clear that he is a professional in his field, the staff is friendly, benevolent. The ward is ordinary, bright, the presence of a toilet and a shower. The downside is that the window does not open in the ward, since I stayed with the child in the ward for 5 days and it was impossible for the child to leave the ward, there was not enough air. Didn't like the food.
