10/10
One of my biggest fears while living in Romania was a major medical event. When I learned that I needed back surgery I was terrified. I started to research neurosurgeons, and needed up on bookimed, and then to Ponderas. I was becoming more comfortable as we went through setting up the consultation, and once we were there and met the coordinator and the surgeon, we felt much better. They answered all our questions and helped to accommodate the long drive we had to make. After checking in for surgery, the medical staff were so caring and kind. Even the little special touches, as in the picture. I feel like they gave me a good idea of recovery, and what to expect at home. 10/10
The process was very organized and everyone was careful to explain each part of the process. All of the staff were so kind and helpful. The nurses and even the man who transported me to the car was so careful and kind.
The food was pretty bad. At least there was food though.
About Bookimed service
Veronica was awesome! She didn’t just help set it up, but she checked on me after and made sure I was ok. Such a blessing for me. Thank you Veronica!

Everything was handled so well
Waking up from the anesthesia, the first thing I noticed was the calm and attentive presence of the nursing staff. That feeling of being cared for really defined my entire stay. My surgeon was professional and reassuring from the very first consultation for my osteoma. I'm now 15 days post-op, and while recovery is a process, the support has been consistent. Honestly, from the initial planning to the clinic environment itself, I can’t point to a single thing that could have been better. Everything was handled so well. I genuinely felt that the entire team, from the administrative staff to the medical professionals, was excellent.
I could not recommend enough, from bookimed to ponderas hospital, the whole experience was excellent. The complexity of the intervention that I had done was executed flawlessly (osteoma removal/septum correction+turbinotomy). Dr Manea is an exceptional ENT specialist with amazing knowledge and skills, best in the country, he makes sure you feel seen, listen and you understand exactly every step.The hospital is very well equipped and comfortable.Everyone speaks English so communication was clear , smooth and precise . I would like to thank my coordinator Olha from bookimed for all the support and that she made sure I get exactly what I need and request.
