Verified review.
My visit was not so perfect, they were not so professional as I wish. The doctor was good but we have large problems with communication and I feel how he felt uncomfortable about it but cannot do anything with it. That is why I denied to do the operation there and only have a consultation They do not know that I do not speak German but only English I want to say thank you to Lesya, her job was good.

Doctor with a capital letter After a long rush about doctors, I finally found Professor Schels - not just a world specialist, but also a sympathetic person who attentively and thoughtfully listened to my whole story, looked at the extracts and appointed additional examinations. All diagnostics took place extremely quickly and clearly. The prescribed treatment of Professor Scheels is working, this is the most important thing. Special thanks to the accompanying Vladimir for the clear translation and help in resolving all issues.
