Verified review.
To be honest, if a friend asked me, I wouldn’t recommend this treatment. It’s been 15 days, and so far the results have been rather modest — my blood sugar levels have improved slightly, but that’s about it. The clinic itself deserves high praise; everything is very modern and clean. However, the work of the doctor and staff left a mediocre impression. When I asked questions, time was limited, and I didn’t manage to ask everything I wanted to; the doctor simply said, ‘If you like, come back tomorrow.’ The consultation lasted a mere 15 minutes. The transfer services were very poorly organised, with issues regarding punctuality, constant waiting and frequent changes of interpreters. Perhaps there will be improvements to the treatment in the future. Overall, I got the impression that the hospital’s primary concern is simply making money, and everything else is of secondary importance.
