The medical team overall was excellent! My surgeon, Dr. Umut Zereyak is awesome and indeed a nice person as well. He is very proficient with his craft and he was always making sure that I understood the plan. He truly cares for me as a patient and that’s what I definitely appreciate. During the days for which I was admitted, the nurses and other staff were so helpful and patient enough to care and to assist with my needs. Language barrier could be a challenge but all of them tried their best to communicate well. Also, the medical coordinators assisted me to the best of their ability. They are knowledgeable, very efficient and communicated really well. I have no regrets at all that this was the medical team that I chose. Highly recommended.

В целом остался доволен, рекомендую данную клинику
Everything was fine. Bookimed was very kind to find me an appointment pretty short notice in Vienna. The surgent was very professional. The only thing I would have preferred was to pay with a credit card. I had to go to an ATM and pay cash.
Everything suits me, I really liked the attitude of the Bookimed workers, the process of work, helpful people, always helped, I really like it. The clinic is equipped, the order of cleanliness, comfortably comfortable. I really like.
Меня все устраивает, очень мне понравилось отношение работников Букимед, сам процесс работы, отзывчивые люди, всегда помогали, мне очень нравится.
Клиника обустроенная, порядок чистота, уютно комфортно.
мне очень нравится.
There was a slight misunderstanding in the treatment process; after a month, there was no apparatus for assessing visual acuity. At the consultation, we managed to ask all the questions we were interested in, but the consultation went very quickly, and in general we are satisfied. В процессе лечения было небольшое недоразумение, не оказалось, спустя месяц, аппарата для оценки остроты зрения. На консультации мы успели задать все интересующие вопросы, но консультация прошла очень быстро, а в целом мы довольны.
Надежда, спасибо за Ваш отзыв! Очень рады, что помогли Вам. Желаю здоровья Вам и вашим близким!
