All coordination and support work was performed 100% professionally. I will sincerely recommend them to my friends.Ярослава UkraineNov 11, 2019"I'm very pleased with the treatmentMy name is Sergey, I am undergoing treatment at the oncology department of the Nordwest Clinic in Frankfurt am Main. I would like to note the high professional level of doctors, the technical equipment of the clinic at the proper level. I want to express special gratitude to Professor Elka Yeager, senior doctor Kiselichki, Dr. Weber, the highest level of professionalism, are very friendly and attentive, the junior staff are smart, everything is super, I’m very pleased with the treatment, if not for one “but” ... Because of ignorance language had to contact the company "Phoenix Service", which is an intermediary for the provision of medical services, led by Radislav. My communication with them began with the fact that before arrival they demanded a significant prepayment, which was timely transferred to their account. After arriving at the clinic, I had to transfer money several times, rather big money. I persistently asked the company’s employees to conclude an agreement with me on the provision of services by Phoenix Service, in order to specifically understand which services and for what specific payment the services will be provided. However, no contracts, as well as invoices with prices, were provided to me, which directly testifies to dishonesty. Only two months later I received the clinic’s bills (with which I completely agree) and separately a bill from Phoenix Service for the services rendered, after viewing which there were simply no words ... As it turned out, being treated in Germany was not expensive, it was expensive to pay for the services of Phoenix invoiced, which either didn’t turn out at all, or turned out to be in the wrong amount and at very high prices. I tried to talk with the head of the company Radislav, saying that I did not agree with the bill, to which I received the answer "if something does not suit you, you can refuse our services further." I officially wrote an appeal to the clinic about the detachment from this dishonest company, to which I received a positive response. He also wrote an official letter to Phoenix with a request to review the account, to which he still has not received an answer. I want to warn everyone who is in my position, those cancer patients who sell everything in order to pay for treatment and live on, but these “phoenixes” don’t stop at anything to enrich themselves at their expense.Anonymous • Immunotherapy for breast cancerJun 1, 2019"The doctor told us - you came here with a fatal diagnosis, but you came out as a healthy person!" Return: About the Doctor: "We were offered a Park-Klinik Weißensee, DrMy mother was diagnosed in Russia with a terrible diagnosis - breast cancer stage 4. The doctors' actions were not credible, so we turned to Bookimed for the selection of a clinic and a doctor. We were offered a Park-Klinik Weißensee, Dr. Ursula Makowiec.
Mom passed a 3-day examination in the hospital, in a separate ward. Friendly atmosphere, professionalism, respect for the elderly patient - all this allowed us to relax, not to try to control every step of the medical staff, to read the articles on the Internet. I was sure that we made the right choice.
And most importantly - the diagnosis was not confirmed! My mother was not breast cancer with metastases, but a sweat cancer in the armpit without any signs of metastases, the prognosis is much more favorable.
The doctor told us - you came here with a fatal diagnosis, but you came out as a healthy person!
We plan to be observed further in this clinic with this doctor.
I would also like to thank the translator Marina Wernke. She was not only an excellent professional, but also a very pleasant conversationalist, we were very comfortable with her.
I also want to thank the curators who helped a lot all the time while mom was in the clinic.Anonymous • ChemotherapyUkraineJun 20, 2018"I advise everyone here to contact!"Hello!
My dad was diagnosed with a diagnosis in the clinic: adenomatic stomach carcinoma of the 3rd stage.
Doctors, nurses and accompanying personnel are qualified professionals, very attentive! All procedures are made as necessary, and not for profit.
The only thing that is embarrassing is the menu for people without a stomach. (They gave it hot and fried)
Accompanying company takes you from the airport on the day of arrival to the airport on the day of departure.
In general, from the time of the first call to today, everyone is happy!
I advise everyone here to contact!Anonymous • Brain tumor removalAug 14, 2026The Surgeon was very warm including the staff, which made a real differenceMy biggest concern before the trip was the impersonal nature of a large clinic. This was not the case at all. I underwent a craniotomy for a meningioma, and the entire approach felt very focused on my well-being. To put it simply, "The Surgeon was very warm including the staff," which made a real difference. The entire process was efficient and well-structured; the schedule was tight but normal, leaving no room for uncertainty. I am still in early recovery, but I feel the medical care I received was competent and the right decision for my health.The Surgeon was very warm including the staff Алина • UltrasoundLatviaSep 21, 2018"Thank you!"Impressions about the company Bookimed and clinic Nordwest are exceptionally positive! Organization of the trip at the highest level, in everything there was support and participation. Coordinators Anna and Varvara (Bookimed) and Olga (Nordwest) assisted in every request, were sympathetic, professional and nice.
Professor Yeager gave detailed advice and comments on the research and nuances of the disease.
After the visit to Nordwest, much was cleared up and a hope and a positive attitude emerged.
Thank you!Oksana Golovko • Radiotherapy for breast cancerUkraineDec 2, 2018I advise everyone to use the services of BookimedHello.

This non-invasive procedure uses focused ultrasound waves under MRI guidance to treat specific medical conditions without incisions.
German medical centers utilize MRgFUS primarily for treating neurological and gynecological conditions without surgical incisions. The procedure successfully targets medication-refractory essential tremor, Parkinsonian tremors, and symptomatic uterine fibroids. Specialized oncology centers also apply this technology palliatively for painful bone metastases and localized prostate cancer.
Bookimed Expert Insight: German clinics distinguish strictly between treating tremor symptoms and treating the broader Parkinson’s disease. Data shows the most successful outcomes occur in patients specifically seeking relief from hand shaking. While generic clinics exist, top-tier German centers prioritize candidates based on strict MRI-guided anatomical eligibility screenings.
Patient Consensus: Patients value how this non-invasive approach avoids surgery and preserves the uterus. Many emphasize the importance of having medical history reviewed by German specialists before traveling for treatment.
German health insurance covers MRgFUS conditionally depending on the diagnosis and provider. Statutory Public Health Insurance (GKV) covers essential tremor under a 2021 ruling. Coverage for uterine fibroids or prostate cancer often requires specific clinical trials or individual hospital agreements.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While essential tremor has federal approval, uterine fibroid treatment varies by insurer. Patients at Nordwest Clinic in Frankfurt often find that specialized centers have pre-negotiated contracts. These agreements with insurers like Techniker Krankenkasse (TK) or AOK simplify the approval process. Always ask if your chosen clinic has an Integrated Care Contract.
Patient Consensus: Many patients find that success depends on detailed documentation from their neurologist. They suggest requesting a specific statement from the clinic confirming the procedure is standard care for their diagnosis.
Germany utilizes MRgFUS to provide incisionless safety and rapid 24-to-48-hour recovery timelines. Top specialized centers like Nordwest Clinic in Frankfurt leverage real-time MRI thermal monitoring to ensure 0.1 mm precision. This non-invasive technology delivers immediate symptom relief while eliminating risks like infection or bleeding.
Bookimed Expert Insight: German clinics like Nordwest Clinic are uniquely positioned because they combine NUB Status 1 approval with high patient volumes. Nordwest serves 61,000 patients annually and houses 5 research institutes. This clinical density ensures and sustains the specialized operator skill required to achieve those 0.1 mm precision targets during thermal mapping.
Patient Consensus: Patients value the lack of visible scarring and the ability to witness tremors vanish during the scan. While recovery is faster than traditional surgery, many emphasize that choosing a high-volume center is vital for managing neurological side effects like temporary numbness.
Germany hosts premier MRgFUS centers specializing in non-invasive thermal ablation for movement disorders and oncology. Key facilities include University Hospital Bonn for essential tremor and Parkinson's, while Nordwest Clinic (Krankenhaus) in Frankfurt provides certified oncology-focused ultrasound treatment using advanced 3D guidance technologies.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While many university hospitals focus on research, Nordwest Clinic (Krankenhaus) stands out for high-volume practical application. They serve 61,000 patients annually and maintain TÜV certification for safety. Patients seeking oncology MRgFUS often find smoother care pathways here than at smaller diagnostic centers.
Patient Consensus: Patients value the multidisciplinary screening process at German centers, noting that detailed brain CT bone-density tests ensure high success rates for tremor reduction. Many feel relief choosing institutions ranked as Top 10 clinics by Focus magazine for neurological care.
