If asked whether I would recommend the clinic, I would give it a clear 10 out of 10

My biggest concern was choosing the right surgeon, but this turned out to be completely unfounded. I felt very well looked after right from the first point of contact. The doctor took plenty of time for the consultation, and the whole team at the clinic were professional and very caring, which made the whole process very straightforward for me. Everything went smoothly. Although my recovery is still ongoing, I am extremely satisfied with the care and organisation so far. If asked whether I would recommend the clinic, I would give it a clear 10 out of 10.

Everything went very smoothly and without a hitch, from the planning stage right through to the examination

The dermatologist was very attentive and took the time to explain everything in detail, and I felt that I’d really been heard

My biggest worry was that the doctor wouldn’t have time to listen to me and really understand my problem, especially in an unfamiliar setting. That didn’t happen. The dermatologist was very attentive and took the time to explain everything in detail, and I felt that I’d really been heard. My Bookimed coordinator helped to organise everything smoothly. The clinic itself has clearly state-of-the-art equipment. The only slight downside was that the waiting time for the appointment turned out to be a bit long. My recovery is going according to plan so far, and although it’s too early to talk about the final result, I’m feeling optimistic. My advice: use this service. It’s convenient. Safe and comfortable.

Otherwise, the service was excellent

My biggest worry was that getting tested abroad would be a complicated and drawn-out process. In reality, however, it was a very quick and efficient procedure. No pain at all. I was pleasantly surprised to receive my results on the very same day, which meant I didn’t have to change my plans. The clinic staff were very attentive, and the Bookimed coordinator really helped with all the organisational matters. The only thing I’d like to see improved is the consultation with the doctor. I felt he could have spent a little more time explaining the results. Otherwise, the service was excellent.

I recently used Bookimed to arrange a full health check-up at Memorial Hospital, and everything went incredibly smoothly from start to finish! I arrived at the hospital at 9 am, and by 12 noon all the tests and consultations were complete – the whole process was quick, efficient and professional. The staff were friendly, everything was organised to the highest standard, and I felt well looked after at every stage. I highly recommend Bookimed for their impeccable coordination and Memorial Hospital for their first-class service!

The final consultation was particularly valuable, during which the doctor explained all the test results in detail, giving me a complete picture of my health

What worried me most was how a comprehensive medical examination would be organised abroad, especially given the language barrier and the need to coordinate numerous tests. But the whole process went very smoothly. Everything was clear. The staff were professional, the clinic was modern and well-equipped, and the lead doctor gave me plenty of attention. The final consultation was particularly valuable, during which the doctor explained all the test results in detail, giving me a complete picture of my health. I got exactly what I was hoping for.

Personally, I was satisfied 👍

Honest review!!! Had a gastrochecap! I was satisfied with the procedure! Fast, competent, everything was clear and accessible! The price is average (in Germany, for example, the same procedure is three times more expensive 🤷‍♂️)! The whole procedure lasted 20 minutes under sedation! Results and recommendations were immediately within 5 minutes after the procedure! During the procedure (endoscopy and colonoscopy) I did not feel the slightest discomfort! I can confidently recommend this clinic! Personally, I was satisfied 👍

Quickness of service delivery!
