Thanks to her, I chose Asklepios Barmbek Clinic in Germany and I have not regretted it one bit!
With great gratitude I would like to leave this review about the Bookimed team, and in particular about my coordinator Olga Romaniuk, who helped me with the choice of clinic, carefully considering all my requests and nuances of future treatment, was always in touch with me. Olga has a high level of empathy and desire to really help! Thanks to her, I chose Asklepios Barmbek Clinic in Germany and I have not regretted it one bit! I was operated on by a talented surgeon Ursula Scholz, who performed the operation with jewellery and professionalism. Conditions in the clinic are quite good, the ward has everything you need, the medical staff is very polite, nurses many times after the operation came into the room and asked if I need anything and everything is fine. Special thanks to the International Department of the clinic and my interpreter Lydia, who accompanied me at all stages of preparation for the operation. I would like to note that all questions concerning payment for medical services were discussed in advance and fully corresponded to the initially agreed amount, with the issuance of relevant documents and cheques. Nobody demanded any preliminary money transfers from me before the initial visit to the clinic. The payment was made in the clinic itself. I would like to summarise my experience with the Bookimed team: if you want to receive qualified medical care abroad, you can really trust the Bookimed team, which works honestly and professionally, as I was convinced by my experience!

5 minutes of communication with a doctor-600euro plus a hotel-400 add a flight or transport -350 and 300 euros other costs and the result is NULL. It turns out that everyone has staphylococcosis and it is not necessary to treat it! So, JAPANESE MAT'AT, I went with a specific problem, beforehand dropped all the results of the tests and can not immediately refuse and not milk me and waste my time.

I have retina detachments issues therefore I applied this group of individuals. When we agreed there was one professor the one week prior to my arrival we retired and I was offered Dr. Shaudig whom i eventually never met. On meeting in the reception I was advised that said professor was ill today. So I was routinely and e consumer,inglese inspected by a couple of young 1doctors who told me nothing new in the end. The story cost me min 1000 Euros. For just nothing. It could look funny that such cases still occur in the 21 sr century in Western Europe. I was promised a report on my case from the Professor but I’m still looking forward to enjoy it. This circus took places in a Hamburg 28.11.17. Think twice everyone. Not all the gold that glitters

It is necessary to conclude a legal agreement between the intermediary company Talvin, the clinic itself and the patient with a detailed indication and justification of the prices for the services of both the clinic and the intermediary company Talvin.
To prescribe responsibility for unjustified price increases

My father was too much satisfied with the Dr treatment along with rich experience the Dr behaviour was sweet with my father due which my father was much satisfied and inspired from him
My father was suffering from pulmonary related disease , after doing study about medical tourism agents. I have decided to prepare my father medical treatment in Germany by Bookimed as this agency as per my experience is the best agency in terms of organizing medical treatment for patient across the globe is the best option for everyone which i suggest for each patient . From Bookimed Dr Younus and Lydia from Talvin organise my father medical treatment in Germany, they have recommended Asklepios Hospital in Hamburg which is one of the top hospital in Germany , my father treatment was done by Dr Gunther Wiest. My father was too much satisfied with the Dr treatment along with rich experience the Dr behaviour was sweet with my father due which my father was much satisfied and inspired from him. Overall our experience with Bookimed and Dr treatment was excellent.
