Thank you for everything being fine. Of course there were cons, but in general everything was fine. I really liked it, the meeting was organized, Medipol worked harmoniously. The managers from the clinic helped completely. There is a room with three meals a day, the room is clean, they did not require additional payment. The clinic is very specialized, individual approach to each patient, polite and attentive. Many thanks also to Dmitry and the coordinators in the clinic. Irada, Ainur, Timur, Iran many thanks to each of them for their help with any question and help at any time of the day. In general, I liked everything very much and the quality of work, they move as a single mechanism. Thank you, I am delighted with their work.
The stay in the clinic left only positive emotions
The stay in the clinic left only positive emotions. On the organization's questions, if they were before the arrival at the clinic, then after the arrival the questions disappeared by themselves, everything was organized perfectly, any wishes were fulfilled. The doctor took it immediately on the day of arrival, everything that was planned was appointed, answered all questions immediately and before and after treatment, left a positive impression. Umnichka translators, it was possible to contact them at almost any time, they always helped. I lived in a guest house, everything is fine.
Satisfied with the service
My sister and I were met at the airport, brought to the apartment of the clinic, I note the apartment is very cozy and comfortable with everything you need, the payment is sufficient for any person
I am generally pleased with the clinic and the work of the coordinator. My sister and I were met at the airport, brought to the apartment of the clinic, I note the apartment is very cozy and comfortable with everything you need, the payment is sufficient for any person. She was given chemotherapy, we will see the results later (only 2 weeks have passed). As for me and my examination at the gynecologist, fibroids and uterine pubescence, they said they urgently need to be operated on for a small amount, while the second opinion was not confirmed in another country, which means the gynecologist is not as qualified and the impression of the doctor is just to do the surgery would get the money I did not like.
