Evgenii • Consultation with a urologist
Indonesia

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

Overall, the treatments we received, access to services, the facilities and all of the personnel we interacted with was great.
The medical staff were professional. The translator was very nice. Bookimed agent was a fantastic person.
The hospital financial departments need better coordination with knowledge of clients deposited funds when booking consultations and treatments.
