Thoroughly explained everything and helped make the right choice
The level of medical care, in the Anadolu clinic, is of course at a height. The attitude of the medical staff differs significantly from the Ukrainian specialists. Upon arrival in Turkey, I was met at the airport by representatives of the clinic. Provided free transfer to the hotel. From hotel to clinic and back every day too. The survey took a week. Everything was rechecked for the most accurate diagnosis. In the clinic I was constantly accompanied by translators. All meetings with doctors organized by the local curator Suleiman. Very responsible and tactful young man. Alyona Soyak, the coordinator from the Bookimed website, helped with the choice of the clinic, she also helped with the hotel and the flight to Turkey. Thank you very much, Alain sympathetic to my situation. Thoroughly explained everything and helped make the right choice. The work of your site is not appreciated, thank you very much. I advise everyone to contact you, they will help you.
