Bookimed helped me compare clinic offers, and while the experience wasn’t painless, it was great overall.
I loved being in Puerta Vallarta. It was relaxing and a wonderful break from the awful vibes of the USA right now. Everyone was friendly and I was able to relax for the first time in a long time. It was easy to get there, the airport is really close, the buses are easy to navigate, the weather was great. The treatment was very comfortable, I had no side effects, and I worried for nothing. Now that I know what is involved I'll do more as I can afford it. A very pleasant experience over all
The location is wonderful the staff was very attentive and I felt ike I was in good hands
Well I'm not sure what the plasmapheresis did. I felt good the first few days after the treatments. Less joint pain, slightly less swelling in my face. But now I feel just like I did before the treatments. I know I also need to do stem cells but given that insurance does not cover any of this it's tough to manage all that needs to be done because it's way more money than I can scrape together. If only regenerative medicine was covered, something that works if done close together. But instead, insurance covers the toxic stuff like steriods and immuno suppressing drugs that I am not going to do, because of the debliitating and degenerative effects of it over time. Insurance doesn't cover much for neuro auto immune conditions.

Ali Zirch is the best and he has a good team
Operation DBS. Ali Zirch is the best and he has a good team . Because setting up the equipment is as important process for patients as the operation to install it. Honestly, I can't imagine that such an operation can be done in Ukraine.... Of course, there are young and promising doctors. But there is no equipment.
very sensitive, attentive girl Yulia, thank her very much for this!
I liked the doctor, everything was fine, thank you! and the medical coordinator Yulia, on bookimed, very friendly, I felt her support and she was always on the phone until the end of our stay in turkey! very sensitive, attentive girl Yulia, thank her very much for this!

Quality of service and knowledge of medical and nursing staff at the highest level
We were at Memorial Ankara on the 27th and 28th of October. The transfer was organised. We were met by Nigora, a member of the international department of the clinic. We saw a neurologist and a cardiologist. We had blood tests, MRI, Doppler, ECG, ECHG, Holter ..... Quality of service and knowledge of medical and nursing staff at the highest level. We are satisfied. Thank God, my dad feels well. He bought all the pills we were prescribed in Ankara.
Everything is for people. The quality of service and knowledge of the medical and nursing staff is at the highest level.
It's all right.
About Bookimed service
I was consulted by the coordinating doctor Lyubov from BUKIMED. She suggested 3 clinics in Istanbul and 1 in Ankara. We decided on Ankara. The organisation of arrival, stay at the clinic and departure to the airport is organised at the right level. I for one am satisfied with BUCIMED. Way to go!!!
Clinic 5+. I recommend it to everyone; the service and atmosphere are excellent. Thank you to Doctor Barish Topcular. And a huge thank you to Alisher and Daria for helping me with translation. I didn't know Turkish. I am very grateful to you. Thank you very much.
On the 18th he underwent surgery with a vagus nerve stimulator on the 25th and it was connected. Dr Sait has worked wonders. Daytime seizures are very rare but nighttime seizures have changed completely. I am 35 years old and so far only the first connection 0.25 paediatric dose and 5 more connections.
Thank you to the neurologist Dr Yemmir who agreed to treat me. For all my years my encephalogram is finally normal. I am from abroad. I don't live in Istanbul. But I thank the whole clinic, all the doctors, all the interpreters, all the staff.
About Bookimed service
It all started with Diane, who I'm very grateful I miraculously found. And that's how it came to VNC. I'm very happy
The staff is attentive. I did not get any useful information or help from the doctor. In addition, he was extremely careless with regard to the previous examinations provided for familiarisation. I would definitely not want to see this doctor again.
Very large modern clinic, helpful and friendly staff. They provided a transfer from the airport to the hotel and to the hospital. The doctor carefully examined and examined (in my opinion) competently explained everything to us, answered all our questions, prescribed treatment. We liked everything. Thanks to doctors and translator
"But I want to express my deepest and heartfelt thanks to our assistant from the first day, a month before we arrived at Mahmoud Kathab hospital, this young man is gifted with a huge heart, I think he was the person who made me choose MEDIPOL PARMERA etc
I would like to express our satisfaction with the DBS operation, the stay in the hospital, which I dare to say at the world level. Dr. Ali Zirh is an absolute professional, precise, clear, concrete and above all very human. But I want to express my deepest and heartfelt thanks to our assistant from the first day, a month before we arrived at Mahmoud Kathab hospital, this young man is gifted with a huge heart, I think he was the person who made me choose MEDIPOL PARMERA etc. Ali Zarh. Last but not least, I am fascinated by the neurologist Dr. Basak and her team, who for 21 days took care of regulating the exact therapy and impulses of my husband. Our entire stay was reduced to the last detail for our benefit, to feel at home. We have not regretted it for a moment, that we chose MEDIPOL MEGA GROUP, thank you Mahmoud, you were born to help people like us!!!
Please to reword Mahmoud Kathab ,he deserved a lot!!!
The service of Bookimed top very much patience and empathy despite the clear.the professor Erdal Karaöz his professional competence top, experience, versatility, seriousness and integrity, the best of its kind.the clinic can keep up with the best in the world like Panama Stemm Cell where many famous people like Tony Robbins were. A great treatment, I will repeat this in December with my wife.
Service top 6 stars .from the airport to the hotel and daily to the clinic all around care taxi and interpreter included.

I was happy that Dr Lelia Garaya put such effort into trying to find medical assistance for me.
