Turkey likes everyone .... but not treatment !!!! my review ... did not make a diagnosis, referred to the opinion of another clinic from which she brought the documents! Of which, she came. I do not know myself !!! I lost a lot of money, but the result was zero ! I will not advise anyone to Turkey ... tears, hopes and pain

About Bookimed service

I’m glad to meet Ostap Bondarenko!! pleasant, smart... but he chose the clinic in such a way that I’m still crying!!!!! Turkey, just hell!!! this is not the country for treatment)))) respect zero, dirt, different mentality, disgusting attitude! if you start to claim your rights, they quickly put you in “their places”!!! + no one wants to delve into visa issues, I paid a big fine! Where do you send your clients??? I’m I immediately said that everything is not so simple... I will never contact you or go on holiday to Turkey

Doctors and medical personnel are top notch, kind, friendly, the doctor will embrace the child, kiss his head !!!About the Doctor: Ostap Bondarenko is a highly qualified specialist, he will give a shoulder and will find a kind word !!! About the Clinic: We were accommodated in a two-room apartment, three meals a day (for me and my son), the food is delicious

Thanks to the Bookimed team, namely Bondarenko Ostap, for organizing our trip ... my son is 12 years old from Belarus. My son has many diseases, but the main problems are related to the endocrine system and neurology. The life of our family turned into a vicious circle from a series of hospitals in Belarus but the result was zero !!! Despair had no limits ... We decided to go abroad for operations ... Bookimed offered several countries for treatment, Israel billed an incredibly huge bill for the examination, although we had all the latest analyzes, we left this option right away on on om ... At first, I was very wary of the proposal to operate in the Turkish Republic, but all my doubts got divorced at the Medipol clinic. We were accommodated in a two-room apartment, three meals a day (for me and my son), the food is delicious ... Wonderful translators in the clinic, who accompany us everywhere and the most important thing is that everything is included in the cost of treatment ... Doctors and medical personnel are top notch, kind, friendly, the doctor will embrace the child, kiss his head !!! where our doctor will hug ... at first my son was wild and feared achey, and now can not wait to go again when we are treated ... If there is any doubt with regard to Turkey, they are useless !!! acceptable prices at a high level and quality of relations Ostap Bondarenko is a highly qualified specialist, he will give a shoulder and will find a kind word !!! when despair takes you and give up, you should always contact Bookimed-Team with a capital letter ... Thank you for being
