When I think about what could have been better, honestly, nothing comes to mind
My biggest fear before this trip was facing the unknown of a brain cancer diagnosis while navigating a complex medical system in another country. I was worried about logistics and the quality of care. However, the process was smoother than I had anticipated. The support I received made a significant difference. My Bookimed coordinator was always eager to help, which eased a lot of the logistical stress that comes with arranging everything from afar. The surgeon was exceptional, and I felt a sense of confidence in their approach. When I think about what could have been better, honestly, nothing comes to mind. I am now in the early stages of recovery, and looking back, I feel the decision to seek treatment here was the correct one for me. The entire journey was handled with professionalism.

Good day! I visited this medical center only twice for blood tests, waiting for 1 hour the first time and 30 minutes the second time, despite being the only patient. All other actions, including a doctor's consultation, took place elsewhere, so based on the above, it's difficult for me to give a different assessment. Regarding the doctor, I was assigned a different doctor than initially stated. I have no information about the current attending physician, so I request that data be provided if possible. The doctor's conclusion, by the way, was not on Ichilov letterhead but on a regular sheet of paper, and it contained different prescriptions than those eventually given. There were no explanations from the doctor regarding the side effects of the medications (and I traveled there because your specialist stated that the medication was used without side effects, which was key for me), which were ultimately prescribed and contain quite strong side effects.

I am very satisfied with the outcome of the surgery; it is the best possible result that could have been achieved
What I appreciated the most was the support from coordinator Sergey and the clinic's representative, Denis. They assisted me with different questions and situations. They created an easy, pleasant, and friendly atmosphere. After the surgery, Denis helped purchase the necessary medications and always organized my transport from the clinic to home. He also assisted with currency exchange locations.
I am very satisfied with the outcome of the surgery; it is the best possible result that could have been achieved.
Heartfelt thanks to the Bookimed team!

We are very grateful for the small chance that these doctors gave us
We received a detailed consultation with Dr. Pelles Sharon and her assistant Denis. They explained everything, gave me a treatment plan, and the doctor was very attentive to details. We are very grateful for the small chance that these doctors gave us. I would also like to note the work of the coordinator, Yulia. A very sensitive, empathetic specialist, she was able to organize everything quickly. Thanks a lot!
