I recommend from the bottom of my heart

We were diagnosed with internal and external hydrocephalus in a newborn. While searching for clinics, I accidentally came across the Bookimed platform. They immediately responded to my request and assigned a personal medical coordinator of the platform Olga Romaniuk. Very responsible, always in touch, she competently selected us a clinic florence ningtingale hospital and signed us up for an online consultation with Professor Ilhan Elmachi. After that we were assigned a manager of this clinic for online consultation Alisher, (by the way, he speaks several languages, including Turkmen, which was a big plus for us). Alisher is also very responsible, always in touch, selects convenient for us time for consultation, helped us to hold an online meeting without delays and interruptions. I am very satisfied with the work of Elmachi docor. All questions were answered. Special thanks to Elmachi's translator 🫶🏻. I recommend from the bottom of my heart
