Recommend to friends and acquaintances - Yes
Quality of service - 10\10
Availability and quality of interpreter 10\10
Competence of the doctor 10\10
The price is more than I expected initially, but it is exactly the same as when I discussed the appointment with the doctor (i.e. they honestly told me the price and I paid exactly as much as agreed).

I can recommend, BookiMed 100% who helped navigate the process
I had a very positive experience throughout my whole journey to get surgery in BCN. I was led to Dr. Conesa who was professional, attentive, caring, and . I felt completely confident in his skills and ability.
He made himself available to speak to me at anytime before and after surgery, which was so appreciated.
The hospital care was exemplary, it was impressive how quickly I moved through the preoperative visits, blood work, X-rays, anesthesia visit etc. Post op care was great.
I had a very positive experience all the way through. I can recommend, BookiMed 100% who helped navigate the process .

As a doctor I recommend bookimed
I introduced many patients to other medical tourism companies but most of them were not honest such as
Bookinghealth.com they did fraud with our patients so finally I found an excellent company by the name of bookimed.com Iam the client
Of bookimed.com since 5 years and all of my patients are satisfied from its staffs and services so as a doctor I recommend bookimed.com to choose as a right a guaranteed company in the term of your health ….
Best wishes

"I highly recommend him to anyone considering a rhinoplasty procedure
I am so grateful to Dr. Paloma for his fantastic work on my rhinoplasty procedure. He was professional, compassionate, and thorough from the initial consultation to the post-operative care. I had always been self-conscious about my nose, and Dr. Paloma helped me feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin. The results of the surgery were precisely what I wanted, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you, Dr. Paloma, for your excellent skills and dedication to your patients. I highly recommend him to anyone considering a rhinoplasty procedure.
