The doctor was warm, patient, and explained everything very well
The contact coordinator was excellent. The doctor was warm, patient, and explained everything very well, though the English support in the hospital itself could be improved. I came in for a hip problem, but it turned out well; no surgery was needed, just specific exercises. The final price matched the quote with no unexpected additional expenses. I suppose there is no further contact from the clinic now that I am home. It was a good experience.
Contact coordinator was TOP. Clinic was good and doctor was warm and patient and explained all verywell. Really recommendable
English support in hospital must improve. Nothing could be better

The surgeon was amazing, would definitely recommend; my three stitches were very small and neat, and I hardly had any post surgery pain, it was very minimal
My main concern was choosing a clinic, as it's hard to compare them from afar. The process was very good. My Bookimed coordinator had quick replies and stayed in touch, which was reassuring. The surgeon was amazing, would definitely recommend; my three stitches were very small and neat, and I hardly had any post surgery pain, it was very minimal. I'm still feeling the fatigue from healing and am at about 50% capacity. The only real issue was that my post-surgery documents were not translated into English. Despite this, I am satisfied with the medical care I received.
