Everything was of a very high standard!
Everything was of a very high standard! The doctors, the clinic, the interpreter’s work, the transfers – everything was excellent! I was always accompanied and kept fully informed! It was a huge plus that I was kept in hospital under supervision after the operation!

It would be great to standardise the communication channel... Getting loads of messages from different numbers is a bit confusing... You don’t know where to write if something comes up... But they’ve always been in touch with me!

Alina Popova works at the highest level — communication is extremely polite and professional
Alina Popova works at the highest level — communication is extremely polite and professional. She managed to solve my problem in an incredibly short timeframe. Thanks to her, I will recommend your service and Alina personally. Her client-oriented approach and ability to empathize with the patient’s situation allow me to declare that, through her dedication, she helps people not only with their direct requests but also as a bonus — on a moral and emotional level.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I won’t talk about the way this clinic conducts business, namely that the price starts to rise when you are already there and your passport is with the registrar, all this is nothing, if there was a result, but the result is this - Urology of this institution is completely bottom, here in the bookcomed they praised that you will have a professor, and so, a professor who, as it turned out, specializes in child circumcisions, spent at most three minutes on me when providing tests and descriptions of the disease, and two on the results and treatment prescriptions, well, okay, I think, the professor, he treats in a second, but no, I was treated, the result is zero, just zero. And you understand this: time, money and most importantly health, there are still a lot of moments, but you can close your eyes to all this, if you were cured, if you at least tried to think about it
How can I like something? What a funny questionnaire? I was not cured, what I liked was tea, it would have been a very good teahouse

About Bookimed service
You will have a professor, you will have a professor, call back two hundred times, they write - well, are you coming, are you ready? In the end, you come to no avail, everyone is interested in you until you pay the money, when you paid the money, no one cares
