- Thank!
I turned to Bookimed for a second independent opinion, I didn’t expect anything, but I was pleasantly surprised by the speed and cramming of the coordinating doctors Katya Koliko and Olga Krisyuk. We organized a video consultation with the HM clinic in Spain, everything went as planned, the doctor wrote what needs to be done at the moment and treatment options. Thank !

We are very satisfied with the result
We pass the treatment of osteosarcoma with mts in the left lung. Treatment takes a child of 10 years. Quality and service are very pleased, special thanks to Catherine Koliko, who not only found us a clinic, but also led us before arriving there. You need more such responsible employees.
