"We have small victories and hope for a full recovery!!!"
I am very grateful to the company for giving us the opportunity to meet Dr. Russi. This is a doctor with tremendous knowledge and extensive experience in the field of epilepsy. For about 6 years, my child and I have been struggling with epileptic seizures of a very complex form. Consultations were held in Kiev and could not even make a correct diagnosis; they were treated for about 4 years in Israel. A year ago, began treatment with Dr. Russi. This is a radically different approach to examination, diagnosis and treatment. A child who suffered from attacks every night - came to life !!! We have small victories and hope for a full recovery !!! Our path is very difficult, but we do not give up !!!
About Bookimed service
Many thanks to the bookimed company in the person of Daria Zaichikova, who organized an emergency flight to the clinic in just 2 days! She was always in touch with us, provided moral support, exchanged tickets and booked a hotel. In a difficult situation, especially when the child is in poor condition, it is difficult to get together and solve everything on your own...

"I did not regret spending a great deal of money to be treated abroad at the Tecnon Clinic
I am very glad to have been given such an opportunity to be treated abroad, namely in the Tekhnon Clinic. In Ukraine, I was diagnosed with epilepsy, which shocked me, but after seven days of diagnosis I was excluded. Absolutely nothing indicated epilepsy. I especially liked the very friendly staff, although we spoke different languages. I was constantly under the care of not only the sisters, only we pressed the red button, the nurse immediately ran over to us and provided the necessary help. Doctor Antonio Russi, wonderful. He was looking at the last detail. Acted cautiously and orderly. I did not regret spending a great deal of money to be treated abroad at the Tecnon Clinic. In Ukraine, I received no help. And now I'm just back and I'm already on the mend. Thank you to all your staff.

Good day. I want to leave a review about the visit to Dr. Antonio Russi were in Moscow for a consultation. The doctor is very professional, he is comfortable with himself, he listened to our problems, the translator translated everything, immediately looked at the pictures, on a 3D computer, explained what and why there was a health problem. Prescribed a new treatment regimen. Now he adheres to this scheme, we hope for a recovery. Special thanks all the way to the visit to the clinic, we were escorted, the bookimed organizers called, as well as Anna. Thanks to the translators at the clinic, thanks to Olesya.

In general, we do not regret choosing Teknon, and most importantly Dr
Everything suited us, there was no language barrier, there are translators and coordinators, from a professional point of view at a high level, the junior medical staff if sometimes “slowed down” somewhere, then after not much comments took into account the criticism and later it didn’t repeated, tactful and non-template approach from the side of the attending medical staff (neurologists, pedagogues, epiliptologists), we were always listened to throughout the entire stay in the clinic (7 days) and we took into account the information that we told during the treatment process, approach and strategy Autumn was pleasant. Polata was a single room plus space for 2 parents, in our case it was angular in the lane from the reception, apparently that's why we didn’t hear the whole hospital bustle, well, plus there are additional doors inside the room that separate the guest area from the patient area. Russian-speaking in terms of everyday life, as an option, bring hot water in thermoses, for coffee tea (but not boiling water of 70 degrees), food for an adult and a child for 8 out of 10 points (often slightly warm). In general, we do not regret choosing Teknon, and most importantly Dr. Ant Onio Russi and his team.
