Given how positive my experience was, I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone needing similar care

My biggest concern was the anxiety around getting a full-body CT scan, but that worry disappeared quickly. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and explained every single step, which was incredibly reassuring. The clinic was clean and organized, and the medical team was both professional and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. Everything went smoothly. Given how positive my experience was, I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone needing similar care. I'm grateful for how they handled my case with such efficiency and compassion.

My experience has been entirely negative. The treatment prescribed did not follow the standard protocol for this condition. Under this treatment, the condition only worsened. I was given information about the most effective treatment currently used worldwide. I never received the doctor’s conclusion following the consultation, even though I asked for it several times. And on top of everything else, judging by the result, it wasn’t worth €500. A treatment that doesn’t work, with no documentation whatsoever. Just a conversation with a professor to whom you have to ask a thousand questions and figure out the treatment options for your condition yourself, because he offers nothing and explains nothing.

Speed of service delivery

The treatment recommended by the professor at the Austrian clinic was completely at odds with standard treatment protocols I never received the discharge summary, even though I had asked for it several times

I’m glad I chose to come here

It was the right decision. Right from the start, I felt that they were looking after me, from the organisation of the trip right through to the clinic itself. The staff were incredibly attentive and supportive every step of the way. Special thanks to the doctor, who explained everything very patiently and clearly, dispelling any doubts I had. The clinic is clean and modern. The examination itself went smoothly and without any unnecessary stress. I’m glad I chose to come here.

Very nice admin and over qualification doctor. I hope my dream will come true and I do my plastic surgery

It was performed by the very best doctor, Igor Pona

I had an operation on 16 October 2025. It was performed by the very best doctor, Igor Pona. The procedure was an otoplasty. I really liked the clinic where the operation took place.The clinic’s medical staff were always there for me and kept asking how I was feeling. I am also very grateful to the staff at Bookimed for arranging transport. They took me to the clinic for the operation and brought me home afterwards.I am very pleased with the results of my surgery, three months on. I am very grateful to Dr Egor Pona, and indeed to the entire staff at the Bookimed clinic.

I had an otoplasty in October 2025. It’s been three months and a week, and the results are fantastic. I am delighted with the result. I would like to thank Bookimed Clinic. I specifically asked the clinic staff for a Russian-speaking doctor; the clinic replied the very next day and informed me that they had a Russian-speaking doctor available. I was given an appointment with the doctor about a week later. The staff at Bookimed Clinic were in constant contact with me. They were incredibly supportive. They kept asking how I was getting on and how I was feeling. They told me not to worry and that everything would be fine.
