"The result of the consultation was more than satisfactory
The most basic and most important is the medical equipment for a complete high-quality diagnosis. A small minus is the very low quality of the Internet, from the wishes: the possibility of placing on the territory of a small street sports complex. The territory of the clinic, the ward, the clinic itself comply with all modern world standards.

Палаты где проводится химия Светлая, кресла реклайнеры удобные, есть телевизор
Прохожу курс химиотерапии, диагноз метастазы после несеминомной опухоли. Встреча была организована четко, на каждом этапе сопровождал переводчик, врач понравился, вёл с ним общение на английском чтобы мне было проще доносить свои мысли правильно, врач владеет английском на хорошем уровне, видно, что образование было получено всестороннее. Диагноз который мне ставили в Казахстане отличался от местных результатов обследования, я сам солидарен с местным. Мед сестры всегда приветливы, проверяют и уточняют состояние пациента, на каждом этапе проверяют все данные(давление, пульс, температуру, вес). Палаты где проводится химия Светлая, кресла реклайнеры удобные, есть телевизор.

"I express my deep gratitude to the whole team for your hardworking work
Hello. First, I want to wish you good health. To begin with, my sister and I met at the airport, brought to the Titanic Hotel at 10:00, we had breakfast there, and waited until 12:00 until the room was completed. I advise you to stay at this hotel, as the clinic itself is located nearby. We were already waiting for us at the clinic, everything went well, we made a diagnosis based on the images, glasses and blocks that we brought with us. Doctors patient, answered our questions professionally. I want to tell you that the clinic has a good dining room, where you can dine for 20-40lir for two people. Cheaper than a hotel. I express my deep gratitude to the whole team for your hardworking work. Regards, Almira and Dinara.

I recommend this clinic for examination and treatment
I went to Anadolu Clinic for a second opinion on my disease - skin melanoma. In the clinic, the examination was completed within 3 days. Very friendly and polite staff, including doctors and accompanying translators. I received answers to all my questions. I recommend this clinic for examination and treatment. Special thanks to the Bookimed staff (Pavel Popkov and Olga) for organizing and assisting with the trip to the Anadolu clinic.
