hospital room and staff were amazing
went for reflux surgery, i can confirm from talking to locals that it's a famous hospital and the best in the country. doctor has performed 3000 of these surgeries and was very friendly, hospital room and staff were amazing
Her coordination efforts were astounding as she was able to contact the hospital and coordinate all activities with short notice
Bookimed was a tremendous help to me. Dr Hanna was an amazing coordinator. She helped answer all my questions, looked for different hospitals and pricing, and always responded to me the same day. Her coordination efforts were astounding as she was able to contact the hospital and coordinate all activities with short notice. I truly appreciated her help and support throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Bookimed for anyone seeking affordable healthcare and quality service. Very happy with my results.
Dr Hanna’s support and coordination. It was truly an effortless experience knowing she was there to help meet all my needs. Her support gave me the comfort in using health services outside the US.
Nothing major. Took a little time to get my final report (about a week). The doctors assistant was apparently sick but I was happy regardless since the results of the colonoscopy and endoscopy were given immediately after the procedure.
About Bookimed service
Bookimed was the ultimate reason I chose to seek medical services outside the US. They made the experience well coordinated and trouble free. Dr Hanna was super responsive and willing to help in any way possible. I was able to get a response the same day (often times within a few seconds of asking). I was very happy with Bookimed and recommend it to anyone looking for healthcare abroad. Kudos to the whole team for making it a great experience.
Honest review!!! Had a gastrochecap! I was satisfied with the procedure! Fast, competent, everything was clear and accessible! The price is average (in Germany, for example, the same procedure is three times more expensive 🤷♂️)! The whole procedure lasted 20 minutes under sedation! Results and recommendations were immediately within 5 minutes after the procedure! During the procedure (endoscopy and colonoscopy) I did not feel the slightest discomfort! I can confidently recommend this clinic! Personally, I was satisfied 👍
I liked only the well-coordinated work of the team of radiologists The rest of the review is negative and if to describe all that I had to experience during the days of examination, what moral, psychological and physiological trauma I received, this report will take 2-3 pages. However, if you want I can send it to you separately. I will definitely write a negative review on the clinic's website!
As I have already written - the team of radiologists, the professional skills of the gastroendoscopy team !

About Bookimed service
Bookimed is a reliable and useful platform. The staff is very responsible and will help to find the best option for the client's needs. I am very happy with the result of my trip to Hizar Clinic.
We returned to the hospital for an unplanned, emergency visit after my father's usual post-transplant check ups. I can't thank enough Aliser for being so helpful and available in arranging everything last minute (on a Sunday!). The doctor's expertise and empathy is second to none. I would especially like to thank our surgeon Dr. Yuzer and Dr. Ahmet for their expertise, kind support and care. We feel in safe hands.
everything was professionally organized, we were very well received, very pleased with the staff and staff of VM Hospitals, my child is already feeling well, thanks to the doctors, thanks to the translators and thanks to the staff of VM Hospitals, they were always in touch, thank you to everyone.
Very pleased with everything. Competent and responsive medical staff. Staff. Clean and well furnished ward. Special thanks to the interpreter Olga for her work.
About Bookimed service
Thank you very much for the quick organisation of the treatment and a special thank you to my coordinator Ekaterina for her help and support during the whole treatment process
Firstly, the examination was at 2 pm, the day before the examination they wanted to postpone it to 11 am. I arrived from another country early at 12 pm. I filled out the documents in 30 minutes and sat in the corridor until 5 pm (I didn't eat anything for almost 24 hours). It was agreed to do an ultrasound and gastroscopy with a biopsy. They only did a gastroscopy. No one returned the money for the biopsy. At first they served foreign clients, they told me to wait until the end of the working day. Horrible attitude. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! Ukrainians for sure... they have a different attitude towards foreign guests..)))

If necessary, I will come again! Thank you
Service in a foreign country is especially important, and when you are contacted every minute, there is no stress.
The car pick-up and all the subsequent movements in the clinic - everything is clear and to the point. If necessary, I will come again! Thank you. For a job well done!
Liked that the doctor understood my problem and will address it, it takes time.
- The doctor seems to be experienced, he seems to have told everything, he gave answers to our questions
The organization was a success, transfer, hotel reservation. The doctor seems to be experienced, he seems to have told everything, he gave answers to our questions, but it seems that he didn’t get into our problem, it’s clear that this is his daily work, but for some reason it seemed that they would give us more time and take care of our issue more closely, but our expectations are our problems. They were not in the hospital, there was only a diagnosis.
About Bookimed service
Unfortunately, I don’t know what their duties were.
We did not go to the clinic, we sent histology for review. Answers waited a long time and pulled out, we can say with forceps. All the answers were very concise, constantly had to ask for the addition. They paid for the advice of the doctor, but in fact did not receive it. In general, this hospital disappointed us. Perhaps the doctors there are good, but remote consultation is lame very much.
Constantly communicated with Yulia Andreychuk. Yulia answered all questions quickly and provided information well. I was pleased with her work.
