In general satisfied with everything, Therefore, I can safely recommend it
I chose this clinic after reading and looking at reviews. High-tech equipment and the approach of doctors, according to reviews in clinics in other countries offered removal of an organ such as kidney, in this clinic on the contrary to do everything possible to save, so I decided, in my country and in neighbouring Russia I could not make a diagnosis or explain what is there, suspicion of neoplasm, but I did not get a specific answer after all the examinations, here in Fuda clarified everything and explained in detail, made a complete examination, equipment is high level, in general satisfied with everything, p Therefore, I can safely recommend it.
When the test results came back and the doctor was happy to tell me everything was fine.
It's basically fine.

Thanks to her, I chose Asklepios Barmbek Clinic in Germany and I have not regretted it one bit!
With great gratitude I would like to leave this review about the Bookimed team, and in particular about my coordinator Olga Romaniuk, who helped me with the choice of clinic, carefully considering all my requests and nuances of future treatment, was always in touch with me. Olga has a high level of empathy and desire to really help! Thanks to her, I chose Asklepios Barmbek Clinic in Germany and I have not regretted it one bit! I was operated on by a talented surgeon Ursula Scholz, who performed the operation with jewellery and professionalism. Conditions in the clinic are quite good, the ward has everything you need, the medical staff is very polite, nurses many times after the operation came into the room and asked if I need anything and everything is fine. Special thanks to the International Department of the clinic and my interpreter Lydia, who accompanied me at all stages of preparation for the operation. I would like to note that all questions concerning payment for medical services were discussed in advance and fully corresponded to the initially agreed amount, with the issuance of relevant documents and cheques. Nobody demanded any preliminary money transfers from me before the initial visit to the clinic. The payment was made in the clinic itself. I would like to summarise my experience with the Bookimed team: if you want to receive qualified medical care abroad, you can really trust the Bookimed team, which works honestly and professionally, as I was convinced by my experience!

I wholeheartedly recommend them—and the hospital—without hesitation
I can’t thank Professor Sezer Sağlam and our guide Aliçer enough for the incredible care they showed during our visit to Florence Nightingale Hospital. I was very worried about the trip and my mum’s consultation, especially after a previous bad experience at another hospital where we were constantly pushed to upsell unnecessary scans. At Florence Nightingale, there was none of that—everything was professional, honest, and focused on what my mum actually needed. Their kindness, attentiveness, and guidance turned a stressful experience into one where we truly felt cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend them—and the hospital—without hesitation.

My care was very good from start to finish. As soon as I arrived at the hospital, I was greeted by my interpreter and team. They were very friendly, put me at ease and explained what would happen and when. I had checks done and blood taken etc and met the consultant. He was absolutely lovely and again explained the whole procedure. I also met with the Anaesthetist. My procedure was completed and the care was fantastic from all the staff involved. The room and hospital were great. I felt like we had VIP treatment. The Hotel was also nice and everything runs like clockwork.

All You Need to Know about Proton-beam therapy

How to choose the right proton beam center for effective treatment?

In this section we'll illuminate the major points before choosing appropriate proton radiation therapy centers for cancer treatment. So, keep in mind these aspects before making a thought-out decision.

  • Accreditation and certification availability

As usual, accredited and certified medical entities adhere to strict standards and deliver high-quality patient care. Such respected centers have a team of specialized oncologists and feature cutting-edge technologies, guaranteeing diagnostic precision.

For instance, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), American College of Radiology (ACR), and Commission on Cancer (CoC) accreditations are among the most trustworthy in the area of cancer treatment.

  • Expert-level medical team

The clinic's expertise is enhanced by the availability of experienced and well-trained oncologists, surgeons, nurses, and support staff. Skillful doctors contribute significantly to developing personalized treatment plans.

  • All-inclusive cancer care programs

Beyond medical treatments, comprehensive cancer care includes emotional and practical support.

What are the features of leading proton beam therapy centers?

faq image

The world's major PBT centers can be distinguished by high-tech medical facilities, a team of professional oncologists and radiologists, and all-inclusive patient care. Here is a detailed overview of these characteristics:

✅ Applying advanced technologies

Radiation therapy and proton one, in particular, require utilizing cutting-edge radiation equipment to guarantee patients precise results and overall cancer treatment. Such state-of-the-art systems include:

  • pencil beam scanning (PBS), where a narrow proton beam paints the tumor layer by layer, reducing damage to surrounding healthy tissue;

  • image-guided proton therapy (IGPT), which combines imaging technologies like CT, MRI, and X-ray to guide proton delivery;

  • 4D imaging to track tumors that move through respiration (lung or liver tumors), ensuring precise targeting;

  • intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) that adjusts the intensity of the proton beams;

  • multi-room facilities, such as treatment rooms with gantries for 360-degree beam delivery.

✅ Broad expertise level

Cancer treatment requires a strong team of skillful and trained doctors in various fields of oncology. The list of specialists involves radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, specialized nursing staff, etc.

✅ Broad experience in cancer treatment

Highly specialized doctors should know proper treatment plans for rare and complex cases, including brain, spinal, and pediatric cancers.

✅ Availability of clinical trials and conducting research

Big cancer centers are involved in clinical research and support innovative treatments and protocols.

✅ Broad treatment capabilities

Advanced proton beam centers should be able to treat different types of cancer, have special treatment programs for children, and treat benign tumors.

✅ All-inclusive patient-oriented support

Such centers should provide psychological consultations, nutrition planning, physical therapy, and extra counseling with other specialists.

✅ Global reputation and recognition

The availability of recognized certifications from organizations like the Joint Commission (JCI) or the American College of Radiology (ACR) means that a proton beam centre follows high patient care standards. Additionally, collaboration and partnership with the world's academic institutions promote the implementation of innovations and foster training for new oncology specialists.

➡️ With Bookimed, you can be sure that you’ll get into a decent PBT center. Your medical coordinator will help you to arrange your treatment quickly just within 2-7 days. Since we have personal representatives in each hospital, we keep direct contact with clinics all over the world. So, the efficiency and responsiveness of the treatment services are vital in cancer treatment.
