I am very glad that I was with doctor Vaiva, a very nice, competent doctor!
I would like to express my initial gratitude to the curator of the bukimed platform, for help in finding a clinic, for all communication with the clinic and for the complete organisation of my trip. I would also like to thank the curator of the Cardiolita clinic, Diana, for quick decisions in all matters! I was in Lithuania at the Cardiolita Clinic and had a septoplasty, I am very glad that I was with doctor Vaiva, a very nice, competent doctor! All the preparation and the operation itself went according to plan, as agreed in advance, which I am very happy about. I am very pleased with the experience of co-operation with bukimed platform, and I will come back for more services!
What I liked most was all the communication and preparation, everything was crisp!

I am very satisfied with my choice of clinic and can safely recommend Kardiolita to those who are looking for quality medical care in Kaunas!
I recently underwent surgery at Kardiolita Clinic in Kaunas and I would like to express my great gratitude to the entire medical staff. The doctors and nurses showed high professionalism and attentive attitude, which helped me to feel safe and comfortable. The operation was carried out quickly and qualitatively, without unnecessary complications. The post-operative period went smoothly - two days in a separate ward were as comfortable as possible. The ward was clean, cosy, with all the necessary amenities, and the staff was always nearby, ready to help with any questions. I am very satisfied with my choice of clinic and can safely recommend Kardiolita to those who are looking for quality medical care in Kaunas!
Comfortable room, attentive medical staff, competent doctor

"The surgeon Mindaugas Kazanavičius, who performed the operation and coped brilliantly tasks
My stay in the clinic was not long, but the volume of the operation was huge, in my opinion. I felt not bad, like many patients of this clinic, after the operation the next day, after the examination, I was allowed to go home. Everything was fine in the ward clean, sterile where necessary, I have no complaints about this. The clinic itself has a calm and cozy atmosphere. The staff is polite and understanding. And, of course, I would like to mention the surgeon Mindaugas Kazanavičius, who performed the operation and coped brilliantly tasks. Many thanks to him for this!
