It was a great help to have somebody with me during the day of the tests, sorting my papers and dealing with translation
Having made an initial enquiry on line, I was impressed by the follow up and treatment proposals and costs I did some research and determined that I needed to get the very best medical attention It was a great help to have somebody with me during the day of the tests, sorting my papers and dealing with translation. Absolutely invaluable Everything was explained to me in detail My only comments are that it would have been good to have been informed about the number of nights stay in the hospital I expected an overnight stay after the procedure In fact for good reasons it was a total of three nights

The hospital is on the level, I felt calm there, I have complete trust in the doctors, you can calmly go for treatment
With the organization of medical services, everything went clearly according to the previous plan. Tatyana, the representative of the company, is very communicative, explains everything, no complaints, even came at 7.30 for the procedure, although there was no translation. I made a slight remark, the price for some services was not announced to me , but in fact it was added... These side effects must also be voiced before the trip...... The hospital is on the level, I felt calm there, I have complete trust in the doctors, you can calmly go for treatment.....

I am writing a review for those people who are in the same difficult situation as our family. Just want to warn, think before you go here. They did not help us ... Moreover, now we understand that they simply did not tell us the truth, promised treatment that everything would be fine and we believed in it, sincerely! They didn’t save on treatment, did everything they recommended, but they just cheerlessly pumped chemistry and prescribed unnecessary consultations like a physiotherapist with charging a hopelessly sick person !!! The company "phoenix" is a soulless creature with the function of receiving money, I don’t even know how to call them anymore ... Doctor Professor Eger also smiled on detours and said that everything would be fine and didn’t even tell the family that the situation was getting worse, she appointed procedures ... As we now understand, everything was clear for a long time, we just wanted to be "treated" because we paid. They tortured our daddy heartlessly and cynically for money !!! Curator Stoyanova stopped responding to letters and the phone immediately, as soon as they informed her that the patient no longer exists. NO ONE! neither she, nor "phoenix", nor the clinic, they even expressed condolences ... It hurts to realize that nothing human is left in people ... We scolded our Russian doctors, and they just told us the truth right away

5 minutes of communication with a doctor-600euro plus a hotel-400 add a flight or transport -350 and 300 euros other costs and the result is NULL. It turns out that everyone has staphylococcosis and it is not necessary to treat it! So, JAPANESE MAT'AT, I went with a specific problem, beforehand dropped all the results of the tests and can not immediately refuse and not milk me and waste my time.

I have retina detachments issues therefore I applied this group of individuals. When we agreed there was one professor the one week prior to my arrival we retired and I was offered Dr. Shaudig whom i eventually never met. On meeting in the reception I was advised that said professor was ill today. So I was routinely and e consumer,inglese inspected by a couple of young 1doctors who told me nothing new in the end. The story cost me min 1000 Euros. For just nothing. It could look funny that such cases still occur in the 21 sr century in Western Europe. I was promised a report on my case from the Professor but I’m still looking forward to enjoy it. This circus took places in a Hamburg 28.11.17. Think twice everyone. Not all the gold that glitters

We are discharging from the hospital, we will keep in touch with this doctor. The procedures go terribly, there is no specific treatment prescribed yet, there is no diagnosis. Besides the fact that my daughter eats, has lunch, has dinner as in a usual sanatorium, they just rip off 600-700 euros per night - a lot of money when you don’t see the result, why stay, just overnight to pay money. I am not happy with the visit.

I really like the doctor's approach, very friendly and made me feel comfortable
I really like the doctor's approach, very friendly and made me feel comfortable. He was willing to hear my questions and explained the whole procedure and post operation requirements. The doctor's personal assistance was also in the call and immediately after she contacted me to ask if there all was ok and if there is anything else I needed to ask.
I liked the fact that after the online consultation I felt more relaxed about the operation to follow in the coming months.
About Bookimed service
I was pleasantly surprised by the people of Bookimed because I had no idea about them and only approached them to check if I could get some information about doctors in Hamburg. They responded immediately, they are always answering to my messages and are regularly communicating with me to check on my progress.

There was an operation on the soft palate and a gastrocheck. The professor surgeon, a conscientious and attentive person, did an excellent job. There would be more such specialists. I have questions for the accompanying Russian office, nurses and ultrasound doctor: 1) The catheter was installed only the fourth time, and as a result, I now have a damaged vein in my arm that can no longer be restored 2) the ultrasound doctor found two cysts in the thyroid, 1.2 cm each , although this had never happened before, upon arrival home I did a double check, the cysts turned out to be 1.2 mm each, perhaps in the conclusion the comma was placed in the wrong place, or the fact that the doctor was very young 3) support and organization for 3, they took payment for a separate fee, but except for me there was also a man. They promised to recalculate, but they never did, after 3 months. Then I sent photographs to show them to the professor to make sure that everything was ok with the larynx, I first checked whether it was possible to send them. I've been waiting two weeks for an answer, and now they're completely ignoring me. The impression is that after receiving payment, attention and interest in the patient ends.

Treatment in Germany: Top FAQs Answered!

Features of diagnostics and treatment in Germany

There is strict control over the safety of treatment for foreign patients here

A medical centre in Germany can accept foreign patients only if it has a special accreditation from the Ministry of Health. It confirms the effectiveness and safety of treatment, high level of service.

German clinics work in accordance with national and international standards

For this, their specialised departments receive special certificates. For example, if a cancer treatment department is certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG), it means that it provides effective and safe medical services, quality patient care and has a high level of equipment.

Leading hospitals are annually ranked among the TOP of the best hospitals in Germany by Focus magazine (among them are Nordwest Clinic and Helios Berlin-Buch Medical Centre). When compiling the rating, the quality of medical care and service is taken into account.

Patients of German hospitals have access to innovative methods

In 2020, Germany was ranked2nd after Switzerland in the ranking of the most innovative countries in healthcare by the think tank FREOPP. The selection criteria were the quality of service, technology and frequency of choice of hospitals by foreign patients.

University clinics in Germany are home to research centres where clinical trials of new drugs and methods are conducted. Doctors implement the most effective of them into treatment protocols. For example, German scientists have developed the ALL-BFM protocol for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, which has a 90% success rate.

German scientists are working with the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research(BMBF) to improve diagnostic 3D visualisation in medicine. For example, the German company MYSCS has developed modern equipment SCS MedSeries H22 for diagnostics in orthopaedics and traumatology, thanks to which the patient can undergo examination as quickly, comfortably and safely as possible (the radiation dose is 10 times lower than that of traditional scanners).

German companies are also developing innovative devices for treatment. For example, ZEISS has created the Intrabeam Intraoperative Radiotherapy Unit(IORT), which allows for effective irradiation of hard-to-reach tumours. Brainlab has developed the Novalis Shaped Beam Surgery device, which doctors use to irradiate small tumours with a high dose of radiation without harming healthy tissue.

The treatment is carried out with the help of modern equipment

Germany is one of the three most technologically advanced countries in the field of medicine. It ranks 2nd in terms of government funding of the medical industry. The received funds are used for regular updating of equipment, thanks to which patients of German clinics undergo diagnostics and treatment with the help of the latest generation devices. Among them are TrueBeam STx, Synergy linear accelerators, CyberKnife and CyberKnife, which irradiate neoplasms with millimetre accuracy, Da Vinci robot for low-trauma surgeries, MAKOplasty robotic system for joint replacement, thanks to which doctors install the implant as accurately as possible through a small incision (4-6 cm).

High-quality safe drugs are available in German clinics

In Germany, medicines are used that are specially manufactured for the EU countries. These medicines are regularly tested for effectiveness, quality and safety.

Highly qualified doctors work in Germany

The best doctors of German clinics (for example, Michael Unch, Peter Ulrich, Thomas Kraus) have more than 30 years of practical experience. They regularly train in medical centres in Europe, Asia and the USA, and are also members of specialised medical communities such as the American Association of Neurosurgeons(AANS), the American College of Surgeons(ACS), the European Association of Oncologists(ESMO).

Leading German doctors are included in Focus magazine's annual rankings. They are compiled based on the opinion of patients and doctors' colleagues.

Need for a deposit before treatment

Before arriving at the hospital, the patient pays a deposit to the hospital. This includes the cost of diagnostics and treatment that the doctor has prescribed in advance. If the actual amount is less than the deposit, the clinic will refund the difference. The cost of medical services in Germany is regulated by the state register G-DRG, which is approved by the Ministry of Health of the country. Prices for citizens of other countries are the same as for Germans.

To get free assistance in organising treatment in Germany, leave a request on the Bookimed website. You will be contacted by a coordinating doctor who will answer all your questions and help you choose a clinic for you. He will forward your medical statements to the selected hospital and request a treatment programme. If the programme you receive is suitable for you, the medical coordinator will help you with travel arrangements. He or she will be in touch with you 24/7 from the moment you apply and even after you return home.

What should I consider when choosing a clinic for treatment in Germany?

When choosing a clinic you should take into account that in Germany they are divided into university, private and state clinics.

University clinics in Germany

The patient receives here consultations of the best professors and access to the latest developments. Such hospitals provide treatment in the largest number of medical fields and are bases for universities, so the leading specialists in the field of medicine work here. They teach students and conduct research on new drugs and treatments.

Private clinics

In Germany there are small private clinics - praxis - and multidisciplinary private hospitals.

Praxis clinics are suitable for examination and selection of drug therapy, procedures that do not require hospitalisation. As a rule, there are only a few doctors working here, united by one medical profile.

The main advantage of multidisciplinary private clinics is a high level of comfort. The effectiveness of treatment and qualification of doctors here may not differ from other hospitals. At the same time, you will feel like in a 5* hotel, not in a hospital.

State clinics

These are multidisciplinary and highly specialised hospitals. Here you can get consultations of different doctors, undergo diagnostics, surgical or medical treatment. Prices for some procedures here can be 10-15% lower than in private and university clinics.

How to choose a clinic in Germany?

  • Pay attention to the specialisation of the hospital.

If there is no exact diagnosis, it is worth applying to a multidisciplinary medical centre. Here the patient will receive a comprehensive examination and consultations of specialists in various fields to assess the work of the organism as a whole. If the diagnosis is known and it is necessary to undergo a specific procedure, it is worth choosing a hospital that specialises in the necessary field of medicine.

  • Find out what age patients are accepted at the hospital.

In order to accept children for treatment, a medical centre must be certified by the country's Ministry of Health. This certifies that the doctors are qualified and have the equipment needed to provide effective medical care for children. If the patient is a child, you can apply to a specialised children's clinic in Germany or check whether the hospital of your choice has a children's department.

  • Request a preliminary programme and its cost.

Even before you arrive, the German hospital should send you an examination and treatment plan that has been drawn up for you. This may include tests, necessary surgery or other procedures. This will allow you to choose the programme that best matches your value for money.

  • Study the doctor's CV.

The best doctors in Germany are members of international associations, conduct research on new drugs and methods, and are included in prestigious ratings of specialists. All this speaks of the doctor's high qualification and is reflected in his CV.

How to go to Germany for treatment?

  • Leave a request on the website to be contacted by a Bookimed coordinating doctor. He will answer all your questions, help you choose the best clinic in Germany for your case, tell you in detail about how the diagnosis and treatment is carried out.
  • In order to receive an individual programme from a German hospital for you, the coordinating doctor will ask you to send medical statements and results of tests performed earlier. He will send them to the selected hospital, where the doctors will review the documents and draw up a preliminary individual programme with the cost. If you are satisfied with the price, you will have to make an advance payment (deposit) and the coordinating doctor will make an appointment for a consultation and necessary procedures. On average, this takes between 5 and 10 days.
  • If necessary, our care department will help you with travel arrangements, ticketing and hotel booking.
  • You pay for the diagnostics and treatment at the clinic's cash desk. Bookimed services are free of charge.

What is a deposit and why is it necessary?

A deposit is a preliminary invoice from the clinic, which includes all necessary examinations and procedures according to the diagnosis. It must be paid before arrival. If the actual cost of treatment is less than the deposit, the difference will be refunded.

How do I apply for a visa?

For each foreign patient, the German clinic forms an official invitation for treatment in Germany. This document will help to quickly obtain a medical visa, which is necessary for citizens of some countries to enter the country. For this purpose it is necessary to pay partially or fully the specified deposit. This way the hospital insures itself against possible visa speculations.
