Corneal transplant Patient Reviews by Bookimed patients


In general, it is normal, the professor accepted well, advised, said that there is a chance, the chances are not bad. The most important thing - inspired confidence, confidence.
Svetlana promptly answered questions, everything was fine. I got in touch, gave feedback, provided information.
В целом нормально, профессор хорошо принял, посоветовал, сказал, что шанс есть, шансы не плохие. Самое главное - внушил уверенность, доверие.
Светлана оперативно отвечала на вопросы, все было нормально. На связь выходила, обратную связь давала, информацию предоставляла.
Everyrhing is like a hospital supose to by... GREAT JOB.
Notaufnahme 12 Std.gewartet und durchweg unmotiviertes, unfreundliches Personal welches überhaupt keine Einfühlsamkeit zeigt. Der Job muss doch sowieso gemacht werden, warum nicht freundlich und mitfühlend? Auch dem Mitarbeiter würde es sicherlich dann am Ende des Tages besser gehen!Wo soll das bloß hinführen?
Hastane okadar sorumsuz ki çocuğun detaylı usg si çekildi 450tl para ödendi okadar islerini kötü yapıyolar ki çekilen detaylı ultrasonun cdsini kaydetmemisler boş cd vermişler aradığımda düzelteceğini söylediler haber bile vermediler, bikac gün sonra almaya gittiğimde cdyi kaybettiklerini görüntülerin gittiğini söylediler,hasta haklarına sikayet ettim geri dönüş sağlayacağını söylendi oda yok aman doğum falan yapmayın burda çocuğu da kaybederler..
Çoğu zaman sakin doktorlar ve personel gayet ilgi ve alakalı, tavsiye ederim.
I've only had good experiences here. It's pricey but you can make actual appointments, for which you are generally seen on time, and the checkout process is efficient. The staff are well-trained and the bureaucratic process is well-refined. Of course, the doctors are top notch. Value added: it's a very nice hospital in aesthetic terms.
I did my full medical checkup here on Friday(with prior appointment). It was really amazing 5 stars experience and here are the positive things about this hospital -Free transportation for the patients from Bangkok international airport to the Hospital or hotels nearby. -Professional and enough staff available to help you. -Amazing ambience, clean, decorated like a 5 stars hotel!! -It took around 4 hours to complete the whole checkup including meeting the Doctor for the results (written report will get after 2 days) -If you speak Arabic, this is best place for you as they have translators and some staff knows some Arabic words. -open mini-buffet included if you take the medical checkup. Here are the only 2 negatives -This hospital prices are high compared to other hospitals in bangkok. But it worth it as you will feel at home!! Clean, helpful and always smiling and welcoming staff!! Well organized place. -It takes more waiting time at the x-ray and ultrasound, however, it is mentioned that the whole checkup takes around 4 to 6 hours. It took 4 hours. Five stars to the best hospital I have ever been!!!
As a tourist you don't know what to expect when you're out of Australia. I got some mystery illness and the way I got treated, at Sourasky Tel Aviv Medical centre was outstanding, the speed, the ease, the cheerfulness were great. I’d particularly like to mention Dr Rana Matal. If you end up there do yourself a favour and ask for her. She’s excellent.
The best treatment, high professionalism, humanity, attitude towards patients is here and only here. Cardio department, you guys a deep bow for all your work, intensive care unit - thank you all very much, you are Gods, you are doing miracles, your professionalism is beyond praise.
Arkadaşım dün gribal şikayetlerle size gelmiş ancak siz bir sağlık kuruluşu olarak :önce insan" demek yerine "yurtdışı öykünüz var" deyip devlet hastanesine yönlendirmişsiniz. Konu hastalığın bulaşmasıysa hastaneler hasta kaynıyor bulaşacak tek hastalık bu değil, önlem bu şekilde alınmaz. O zaman diğer bulaşıcı hastalarınızı da kabul etmeyin. Kapınıza hastanenizin hasta kabul kurallarını asın da insanlar ona göre gelsinler ve insan sağlığına ne kadar değer verdiğinizi(!) bilsinler. Bu durumu kendisi şahsi olarak sağlık bakanlığına bildirecek zaten benim burdan paylaşma sebebim ise olur da benzer şikayetle gslmek isteyen olursa boşuna zahmet etmesin, kapıdan çevrilmesin. Bir sağlık kurumuna yakışmayan bu hareketinizi, özellikle ülkece seferber olmamız gereken bir dönemde kınıyorum.
Özel hastanelerin genelinde görülen pahalılık durumu. Hele de Üniversite hastanesiyse daha da pahalı. Allah kimseyi herhangi bir hastaneye hastalıktan dolayı düşürmesin.

Additional corneal transplant cost
According to the American National Institutes of Health, 1 out of 3 patients faces rejection after the corneal transplant in the first 5 years. In the case of rejection, a patient needs a repeated operation. A patient pays for additional surgery and diagnostics.
Corneal transplant cost also rises because of frequent eye exams. Patients need to undergo eye tests weekly, then monthly to notice possible complications during the 1st year after the procedure. An eye doctor develops the diagnostics schedule for each patient.
After the operation ophthalmologists can prescribe glasses or contact lenses to improve vision. It also affects the cornea replacement surgery cost.
Discounts
Corneal transplant cost in Asian countries is 35-70% lower than in Europe or the USA. Medical tourists worldwide choose India, Turkey or Thailand for organ transplantation including the cornea replacement.
Healthcare services in India, Turkey, and Thailand are at the same high level as in European countries, Israel or the United States. The economic development of these countries causes low corneal transplant cost. They belong to the states with the less developed economy. Nevertheless, the government spends the significant amount of money on the development of medicine here every year.
Pay attention to the fact that only private clinics offer the high level of medicine and experience of doctors.

Germany
Corneal transplant cost in Germany is individual for every patient. The prices depend on the disease, it’s stage and presence of complications. German eye surgeons use the artificial corneal grafts of high quality. Top-grade materials affect the corneal implants cost. The implants are produced by Carl Zeiss company, the most significant manufacturer of the optical devices in Germany.

The donor implants are not included in corneal transplant surgery cost in Germany. The Eye Bank regulates the corneal implants cost.
India
Cornea replacement surgery cost in India is much cheaper than in Europe or the USA. A patient can save up to 50% of the money for the operation. The level of medical service in Indian clinics is on the same level.
Indian doctors use analogs of expensive drugs, so-called generics for the treatment of patients. Generics significantly reduce the corneal transplant cost in comparison with other countries.
Thailand
Thailand is another country in Asia, where the eye doctors offer keratoconus corneal transplant cost 30-75% cheaper than in Europe or the US. Quality of service remains at the same level.
Thai doctors undergo internship abroad and exchange the experience with their colleagues from the USA. They provide the new technologies and the innovative methods in medical care, which increases the effectiveness of transplant procedures.

For comparison, there are 30 JCI certificated clinics in Israel and only 10 in Germany.

Corneal transplant is a surgery to replace the part of a patient’s corneal tissue with a donor’s one. A donor is a deceased person. The cornea has no blood vessels, so the blood group of a donor is not essential.
Artificial replacement or keratoprosthesis is another type of corneal transplant. In this case, surgeons use eye implants. The procedure is prescribed for those patients who have had the failure of a donor corneal tissue.
