"We are all happy!"
The clinic is really good! Good Russian translators especially Olga and Lina !!! We passed all the tests here, now we are preparing for chemistry! Dr. Barnadas is leading us, this is one of the best oncologists in Spain, and this is true !!! Since we also have diabetes, the endocrinologist controls all the treatment, this is a big plus. It is very expensive, but in return you get highly qualified specialists, the best medical equipment, good service! We are all happy! Thanks Bookimed for quality service and help!
