About the doctor:
- I am sincerely grateful for Doctor-coordinator Christina's help
- I want to thank all the doctors who directly have treated me, especially Dr
From April to July 2017, I underwent a treatment in the Oncology Department at Teknon. I came to this hospital thanks to Bookimed International Patients Support Center. Doctor-coordinator Christina has supported me and I am sincerely grateful for her help!
The treatment in the hospital was at the highest level, and it ended successfully. I have recovered!!! I want to thank all the doctors who directly have treated me, especially Dr. Capdevila and to Dr. Jorcano.
The International Department employees were very helpful — I had no difficulties in communication with medical team. I will definitely recommend this hospital to my friends and relatives in case of any health problems.
