my doctor Anil Kubaloglu suggested a more suitable laser correction option than I had planned for which I am additionally grateful to him
Very modern clinic (top-of-the-range Relex Smile Pro laser correction machine) with friendly, caring staff, my doctor Anil Kubaloglu suggested a more suitable laser correction option than I had planned for which I am additionally grateful to him. The clinic kindly agreed to extend my stay for a day free of charge when I had a flight, provided an extra desk and chair for work. Excellent 3 meals a day.
state-of-the-art equipment staff all my preferences (of which there were many) were taken into account
About Bookimed service
Without bookimed, it would have been an impossible task to get in touch with the clinic and arrange everything exactly as I needed it. That is why I am very grateful to them. A wonderful and free (for the patient) service.

I am very satisfied and definitely recommend Bookimed and this clinic
I would like to mention the professionalism and attentiveness of the consultant Liana - she did a great job! I was also pleasantly surprised by the clinic's service. I was met at the airport at night, picked up from the hotel in the morning and brought to the clinic. Payment was quick and in 20 minutes I was accompanied by an interpreter who was a real professional. In just two hours I had a full examination, and already at 14:00 the operation took place. I bore it easily - I was able to go for a walk in the evening. My eyesight started to improve, although it still takes time to fully stabilise. I am very satisfied and definitely recommend Bookimed and this clinic
The service provided by the counsellor Liana and the quality of the clinic itself
