LIV Hospital services are very much in line with and in no way inferior to the world level, believe me, because due to health problems of my family, we had to see clinics in the USA, China, South Korea, Israel. From the very first call I felt great care for me as a loved one. Many thanks to Sabina, Nigina - coordinators / translators, they did a great job, we could contact them at any time of the day and they supported the patient with all their hearts. Please note that everything here is based on Turkish, only doctors can communicate in English. It can be seen how much Turkey has advanced and is self-sufficient. I am grateful to fate that I met the professor - neurosurgeon Chagatay Ozturk. Easy to communicate, concise, it is immediately clear that the highest level specialist, after the examination, identified the problem and showed it on the MRI scan and explained what was to come. An operation was performed to remove the hernia on L5-S1 and a titanium disc was installed. The atmosphere of the team was very favorable and cozy, there was a high level of coherence and discipline. The concern was such that I did not feel any pain or heaviness, although they say that the operation was not an easy one. On the second day after the operation, I already walked and on the sixth day I was already discharged. Finally I got rid of pain and sleepless nights over the years! I recommend to everyone, wizards work here - professionals in their field! Best regards, Gaziz Kissym Kazakhstan
Услуги LIV Hospital очень даже соответствуют и никак не уступают мировому уровню, поверьте мне, так как в связи с проблемами со здоровьем моей семьи нам пришлось повидать клиники США, Китая, Южной Кореи, Израиль. Уже с первого звонка я почувствовал огромную заботу ко мне как к родному человеку. Огромное спасибо Сабине, Нигине - координаторам/переводчикам, они сделали большую работу, мы могли обращаться к ним в любое время суток и они всей душой болели за пациента. Имейте ввиду, что здесь все основано на турецком языке, только врачи могут общаться на английском. Видно как сильно продвинулась Турция и самообеспечена.
Благодарен судьбе, что встретил профессора - нейрохирурга Чагатай Озтюрк. Прост в общении, краток, сразу видно, что высочайшего уровня специалист, после обследования определил проблему и показал на снимке МРТ и обьяснил, что предстоит.
Провели операцию по удалению грыжи на L5-S1 и установили титановый диск.
Атмосфера коллектива была очень благоприятной и уютной, чувствовалась высокая слаженность и дисциплина. Забота была такая, что я не почувствовал ни боли, ни тяжести, хотя говорят, что операция была не из простых. На второй день после операции я уже ходил и на шестой день уже выписался. Наконец-то я избавился от болей и бессонных ночей за многие годы! Рекомендую всем, здесь работают волшебники - профессионалы своего дела!

Yes, I liked everything except the discharge, the nurse came to write out and said the finish line and go to the exit. Not a doctor did not consult anything, only returned at the exit and the translator more or less explained. Да всё понравилось кроме выписки,выписывать пришла медсестра сказала финиш собирайтесь и на выход.ни врача не консультации ничего,только на выходе вернули и переводчик более или менее объяснил.в общем всем спасибо
Polite staff Вежливый персонал
Liv hospital is a terrible clinic! We were very disappointed, it’s good that they went to the memorial on time from there and didn’t perform the operation on my grandfather, conducted an examination in another clinic where they began to fully deal with him and sort out his problem with a council of doctors, in Livonia we just shouted that the situation was an emergency and it was necessary urgently to take action and just wanted to put on the operation the next day without looking at the tests and the like !!!! Лив хоспитал ужасная клиника! Очень разочаровались, хорошо что вовремя от туда ушли в мемориал и не сделали операцию дедушке, провели обследование в другой клинике где им начали полностью заниматься и разбирать его проблему с консилиумом врачей, в ливе же просто мы кричали о том что ситуация была чп и нужно было срочно предпринимать меры и хотели просто положить на операцию на следующий день не просмотрев анализы и тому подобное!!!!
Everything went at the highest level. In the beginning, there were inconsistencies in the organization, which were immediately resolved for the benefit of the client, that is, me. Doctor of the aphthalmologist Belma Karini, I can only recommend, golden pens! The result of the operation exceeded all expectations not only of mine, but also of the doctor. Special thanks to the translator Dinara, she will not forget anything, she will organize everything, everything is clear and harmonious with her. The clinic is new, the wards are very clean and comfortable. I would say the Chambers are more like a luxury hotel suite. Everything in the shower glistens with towels, shampoos, etc. I RECOMMEND UNIFORMALLY !!!
Всё прошло на высшем уровне. В начале были несосстыковки по организации, которые моментально решались во благо клиента, то бишь меня. Врача афтальмолога Бельму Карини, могу только рекомендовать, золотые ручки! Результат операции превзошёл все ожидания не только мои, но и врача. Отдельное спасибо переводчице Динаре, ничего не забудет, всё организует, всё четко и слаженно у нее. Клиника новая, палаты очень чистые, и уютные. Я бы сказала, Палаты похожи больше на номер люкс дорогого отеля. В душе всё блестит полотенца, шампуньки и т.д.
РЕКОМЕНДУЮ ОДНОЗНАЧНО!!!
Excellent organization and support!
Professional doctor, clinic and staff at the highest level. Very caring and responsive assistants, special thanks to the translator. Now I will go to check up to you. thank Врач профессионал, клиника и персонал на высшем уровне. Очень заботливые и отзывчивые ассистенты, переводчику отдельное спасибо. На check up теперь буду ездить к вам. Спасибо
She sent for PET / CT revision made at the Korean clinic Severance Hospital, because Severance made a very dubious short description, more like an unsubscribing. I chose Liv Hospital, assistant Bookimed Alexei and assistant Liv Hospital Lala all organized perfectly, data exchange by e-mail, payment at a reasonable price, three days and the description is ready, done well, in detail and clearly. Bookimed coordinator Aleksey Karaganov is a very caring and highly qualified specialist who helped with the consultation and discussion of the diagnosis.
Отправляла на пересмотр ПЭТ/КТ, сделанный в корейской клиники Severance Hospital, поскольку Северанс сделал очень сомнительное короткое описание, больше похожее на отписку. Выбрала Лив Хоспитал, ассистент Букимеда Алексей и ассистентка Лив Хоспитал Лала все организовали отлично, обмен данными по эл.почте, оплата по разумной цене, три дня и описание готово, сделано хорошо, подробно и понятно.
Координатор Bookimed Алексей Караганов очень заботливый и высококлассный специалист, помог с консультацией и обсуждением диагноза.
In general, I really liked the clinic, the coordination is good. Conveniently, what you met at the airport. However, what the doctor advised after the consultation does not help. I am planning a second consultation.
В целом клиника очень понравилась, координация хорошая. Удобно, то что встретили в аэропорту.
Однако то, что посоветовал врач после консультации не помогает. Планирую повторную консультацию.
Everything went well, received answers from the doctor to my questions. The only thing I would like for the online consultation to go through Skype, and not through WhatsApp Все прошло хорошо, получил ответы от врача на мои вопросы. Единственное, хотелось бы чтобы онлайн-консультация проходила через Skype, а не через WhatsApp
