I am very grateful to the Bokimed team for their care, organisation and truly individual approach
I turned to Bokimed to organise a trip to Turkey for medical diagnostics. The company proved to be a reliable partner: they helped me at every stage - from preparing the trip to accompanying me on the spot. Thanks to the attentive customer service, all issues were resolved quickly and professionally.
The diagnostics were carried out with high quality, and I felt supported throughout the entire process. I am very grateful to the Bokimed team for their care, organisation and truly individual approach.
I recommend the company to anyone looking for reliable assistance in medical trips abroad.
Quality of the survey
A somewhat assembly-line approach

The consultation with the doctor was easy and instilled confidence and calm
Everything is fine. There was a slight delay in the transfer upon arrival at the airport. Then they arrived promptly, the drivers were polite, the cars were clean. The hotel is a little far away, but nice, spacious room, clean. There were not enough slippers in the hotel, otherwise everything was fine, the staff was helpful. I underwent PET CT diagnostics with gallium 68, the examination was carried out perfectly. Special thanks to the coordinators of Bookimed and the clinic, and the translator. The consultation with the doctor was easy and instilled confidence and calm. It would be nice to get a translation of the conclusion in Russian or English right away.
Service, competence, translator, speed of examination
Transfer upon arrival, no conclusion in Russian

But my choice to do this exam in this hospital is I think a good decision
I appreciate the quick answer and avability of the exam at the dates i was in Istambul.
Good service airport transfert and accomodation in a city where yu feel lost.
The people at the hospital pas efficient, and the exam went well. Or suppose so.
Some little things are les noticable when you have important exam.
- forget to pick-up me at hotel.
- came for a consultation ans doctor was not there....
- not sure the oncologist looked at rhe pictures closely. I have no idea of the quality of report. Can tell more after other consultation with a health-professional.
But my choice to do this exam in this hospital is i think a good décision.
I will recommand it.
