Reviews about Bookimed: Discover Patients' Insights
It was an experience my husband and I will never forget!!
Bookimed was so helpful and extremely nice. Everything they told me was to the detail accurate. I was very nervous about this because we’d never traveled that far before, just so many unknowns. But from the minute we were picked up from the airport we felt completely comfortable. Even with the language barrier, there were tons of laughs, smiles and hugs. It was an experience my husband and I will never forget!!
About Bookimed service
I was very nervous about this trip and had tons of questions, so I’m sure at times I was driving the young lady that helped me crazy, but never did she make me feel that way. She always answered me in a timely fashion. She would even call the dentist office with questions I had and she would let me know right away what they had to say.
I’m usually not a very trusting person, but she helped me know that even though we’d never met I could completely trust her. It was an experience of a lifetime, and I would definitely use them again.
I am very satisfied with the treatment and competence of the doctor
I am very satisfied with the treatment and competence of the doctor. Everything was done quickly and painlessly.
The bad thing is that when the bill was issued, the types of services, types of implants and prices for the services were not specified. The patient does not have public access to this information. I requested it separately, but was never given anything. As a result, I have no information about which implants I have and what the total cost was.
The initial cost was much less than the actual cost.
Purity and honey. Equipment
About Bookimed service
Everything was very well and quickly organised from Bookimed. Our coordinator Catherine was always in touch, supported us during the treatment and gave us quick answers to all our questions, for which we are very grateful
The coordinator Valeria was very helpful and advised with everything I asked her about
We had a crown and a filling done promptly at the clinic. The coordinator Valeria was very helpful and advised with everything I asked her about and translated everything to the doctor promptly. The cost was the same as agreed. I have already contacted Bookimed many times and they always help me with appointments and treatments
I liked everything, pleasant staff, comfortable, qualified doctors. The first step on arrival at the clinic was an examination, a panoramic image. I had not had a panoramic image before, there were changes in my treatment, but I was prepared for them, as I knew the condition of my teeth. After my consent, I had 21 zirconium crowns placed, 3 teeth extracted and 4 implants placed. My visit was 4 days. Everything went well. In half a year I can go for implant crowns. I think I made the right choice.
Just because I'm smiling more often. Thank you.
Liaising with the coordinator at the clinic.
About Bookimed service
Everything is great, the co-ordinator Catherine, was with me throughout, thank her very much.
I would like to emphasise the medical staff and especially the surgeon who did my tooth extraction and implants. Super professional!!! I hope she will be the one to work with me on my second visit for crowns. Super positive and pleasant person, and most importantly - truly dedicated to her work.
I liked the promptness of everything that was going on. The personalised approach in all areas is absolute!
There was nothing in particular that we didn't like. But we can say with certainty that the organisational part can still be worked on and attention should be paid to the organisation of third parties (there were hiccups that were not always possible to solve).
Excellent and confident team of doctors who know what they are doing and do it to the highest standard
I had the first stage, namely removal and implantation, and to tell you the truth, everything went as well as possible, painless and professional.
Excellent and confident team of doctors who know what they are doing and do it to the highest standard.
The presence of an interpreter at every stage of the clinic, and online support after the procedures, was very convenient.
Comfortable transfer, and excellent accommodation in a good hotel with all amenities😊
Staff competence, and their professionalism
I can't say I didn't like anything, in my opinion it went great)
About Bookimed service
Excellent service, pleasant and competent coordinator who will explain you all the details and help you choose a clinic based on your capabilities and preferences.
I can only say that I did not make a mistake in choosing this platform Bookimed for my search, and WEST DENT clinic to solve my problem😊
Thank you so much to everyone who made my 4 days in Izmir feel more like a mini holiday than a treatment
I am still at the beginning of the process of implants and zirconia crowns, so I can't say anything about the overall result. As for my first visit to the clinic, I liked everything about it, with the exception of the minor disadvantages, which look so small against the background of all the other advantages that they are not worth mentioning. The clinic was modern and comfortable, the staff was attentive and polite. Bookimed coordinators were always on call and always answered any questions in detail. The shuttle service was timely and comfortable at all times of the day. The hotel in the city centre within walking distance to the seafront, attractions and shopping was just perfect, the hotel staff were lovely and kind people, breakfast (though vegetarian) was included. Thank you so much to everyone who made my 4 days in Izmir feel more like a mini holiday than a treatment.
Comfortable and courteous handling
The shower stall in the hotel did not have a shelf in it

About Bookimed service
We turned to Bookimed in search of quality and affordable dental treatment abroad - and were incredibly lucky to get to see Iryna Bulhakova.
From the very first message, Iryna proved herself not just as a professional counsellor, but as a person with a huge heart. She listened carefully to our situation, asked clarifying questions and literally the same day suggested several excellent clinics in Izmir, Turkey.
She was always on call, even on weekends and late at night, answering all our (sometimes very anxious) questions with patience and warmth. Thanks to her help we felt that we were not just guided but really accompanied and supported every step of the way.
In the end, we chose an excellent dental clinic in Izmir, where we were treated at a high level: modern equipment, attentive staff, painless and comfortable environment. Everything went even better than we expected.
We are immensely grateful to Irina for her kindness, participation and professionalism. Thanks to her we now have not only a beautiful smile, but also wonderful memories of our trip to Turkey.
We recommend Irina to anyone who is looking for a reliable, sensitive and responsive specialist. She is not just a good person, she is a real guardian angel for patients abroad!
Wonderful doctors, professional and at the same time listening to the patient. Individual approach 100%. Meeting at the airport, transfer, hotel check-in, escort - everything is great. Special thanks to my curator-translator Olga, simply a person with a capital P. She helped not only with medical issues 24/7, but also with her stay in Turkey, always in touch, always ready to help, always friendly and supportive.
