Larisa • Consultation with a mammologist
Italy
Apr 17, 2026
I am now completely confident that I can get the advice I need in my own language at any time!!!!
What I feared most was feeling lost and unheard when I decided to seek a consultation in another country. But that fear vanished as soon as I got in touch with Bookingmed, specifically with Yulia. She looked through my preliminary test results, listened to my concerns and found a suitable clinic quite quickly; then we set a date and that was it! The only inconvenience was that I live near Rome, but the appointment was in Milan – though that wasn’t a problem for me!
I was met at the clinic by an interpreter, who was also the coordinator, so I didn’t have to queue or wait around (YAY!!)
The doctor answered all my questions patiently and without rushing. Fortunately, my fears turned out to be overblown.
The entire process, from my initial enquiry right through to the appointment itself, was well organised. Everything simply worked out.
I am now completely confident that I can get the advice I need in my own language at any time!!!!
Thank you so much!!!
I was very impressed by how efficient and well-organised the whole process was
As my 'case' was very small, there was nothing to improve – everything was just right!

"I declare with all responsibility that the San Rafael clinic in Milan is the best
The professionalism of the doctors, the newest equipment, the care of the clinic staff are among the best in Europe. The treatment and operations in Russia and Germany have been carried out, I declare with all responsibility that the San Rafael clinic in Milan is the best.
After treating my father’s stomach cancer, I visited the neurologist and gastroenterologist and myself. Thank you so much to the coordinator, the doctors from the international department of the clinic. More in the world of such doctors. THANK YOU!

I went to the Galeazzi clinic. Milan. Italy. on my son's problem - gmgantism. Coordinators from Bookimed got involved. Had an online consultation. for which I paid 360 euros. All required documentation has been sent. references. analyses. x-rays. To determine the volume of the operation and the cost, they said that the patient needs to come to Milan. I'm from Ukraine. It's hard to describe how the journey cost me. with what difficulty. Upon arrival in Milan. we are consulted by another doctor and gives quite the opposite answer.!! Is it really impossible to agree and view all the documentation. y t. h and the video was sent!!! with immediately give a negative answer during an online consultation. why do it at all then? It's just a waste of money. not problem solving. Be careful!
