Video Stories from Bookimed Patients
Amanda
My companion and I were treated with such kindness — I have nothing but admiration for the entire team.
The Liv Hospital Clinic confused my diagnosis. Within two hours, I thought I had cancer.
I immediately wrote to them, the answer came in two and a half hours, as they had no time to double-check. During all this time, my family and I went crazy with horror. Now they wrote to me that the translators were wrong. But pituitary adenoma is spelled the same in all languages. A malignant formation of the parotid gland is a completely different diagnosis.
When they learned what was needed in the clinic, they didn’t even know where to run and whom to contact. Coordinators helped to select a clinic. They gave us a doctor. Everything went great, the doctor is a true professional.
Separately, I want to note the attitude to patients. We were met at the airport, brought to the clinic and there was already a translator waiting. Literally "by the hand" we were taken to the doctors, everyone translated. Then they provided a taxi to the hotel.
During the operation, the ward was provided for two people - for the patient and the attendant; both of them were included in the cost of the operation.
After surgery, the doctor held a consultation, making sure that you can fly back. And only then answered questions remotely that arose.
Clinic definitely recommend
Doctors seemed professional. Low quality translation from Turkish to Russian and vice versa. For some reason, after PET KT (perhaps a coincidence), upon returning home, it was sharply worse. We had to urgently operate, although Turkish oncologists did not see the need for an operation, but offered to wait a month.
The people who met us at the clinic also made the most positive impression
We are very grateful for the help to the Bookimed coordinators, in particular Svetlana Kalinichenko. Thanks to her efficiency, we got everything we wanted in the shortest possible time! The people who met us at the clinic also made the most positive impression. With them there is a feeling that you really genuinely care about!
Immediately I will note not the intrusive and at the same time "essentially" made by Alena presentation of the clinic. And really everything turned out to be as they described to me: the doctor explained how he sees my situation, what kind of opinion of Moscow doctors he agrees with, and what does not and what he proposes to do. Everything is clear and reasonable.
I would strongly recommend it to other people looking for medical care
I am very happy with the treatment I've so far received at Bumrungrad International Hospital. Beginning last year, I've made three separate visits for treatment at the hospital. The staff are extremely professional and efficient using very modern equipment. The cost of treatment is competitive. I would strongly recommend it to other people looking for medical care.
Thank you Irada from the international department for arranging treatment. Everything went at the highest level. Thank you Zulfie for the translation. Thanks to Dr. Pelin BASIM and Dilek Ünal for their professionalism and support.
