Gamma Knife Patient Reviews by Bookimed patients


Satisfied with all the provided services. Thank you for all the support and help.
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!!!
Hello, I wanted to ask. We need kidney surgery. PLEASE TELL ME. WHO DID. IN THIS CLINIC. PLEASE TELL ME. WE REFUSED THE KIDNEYS. GET HEMODIALYSIS
Service at the highest level. The staff is very courteous, they always try to do everything possible to ensure that the client is satisfied. Special thanks to Ansar, the coordinator of this hospital.
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.
It's unique and nice place for a private movie screening. My husband had arranged a surprise birthday decoration in here which was simple and neat just the way I like it. staffs are very friendly. My 2.5 year old daughter enjoyed the place. Overall, it was a nice place for movie lovers.
A nice, cozy and one of its kind place. If you live anywhere near HSR, it's a must visit. The owners are super friendly and awesome peeps.
Great, modern hospital.

I am writing honestly and frankly to warn many from rash acts to visit this clinic and many others in Seoul. Do not fall for colorful stories of those who tell you that Korea has good medicine. Everything here is set up to pump money from foreigners, that’s absolutely it. Repeated receptions of specialists are delayed, heaps of unnecessary examinations are assigned. Like if you have a sore leg, then until we check your stomach, we can’t make a diagnosis. A person pays initially about 2 thousand dollars, but this later turns out to be not enough, you have to pay more and more, for the measured pressure, for measuring your growth, it is not clear why you should pay pressure if the same apparatus is in front of the office for everyone. In general, I came here with pain in the right hypochondrium, and have already paid 4 thousand dollars and I have not yet passed any really necessary examinations. I've been here for 10 days. Ultrasound and CT were done and they say that the results will be ready in two weeks. A person understands that he has already spent a lot of money and has not received any information, in the hope of spending everything that he has left. But it’s advantageous for them not to examine you in-depth, but only superficially to give you repeated and repeated appointments of doctors who just talk with you, you complain of pain, they listen to you nod your head and that's it ... Continuing to pump money out of you, while you will not have them. For that, they say that they are very sorry, and they say that you should go home for more money and then go to them to continue the examination .. People, believe me, I didn’t write it out of anger, it’s reality ... act like me ....
❗⛔ Fraudsters ⛔❗ If you need to throw a lot of money, welkom. I don’t know how anyone, maybe they wrote reviews for themselves ... But I went. A complete scam for money and nothing more! For starters, they tell you how good they are. Draw up a test plan for diagnosis. And that they have high-quality equipment ... Do not get fooled !!!! Upon arrival in Israel ... Everything changes, and the survey plan and time. And the amount you don’t want is enough. And the days that are blocked. You're leaving for nothing. Then they start to ignore you 😒 In the end: nothing in the end ... Diagnosis in 2.5 months. Not set !!! Analyzes are not ready !!! Generally money down the drain !!!
More than once I had to turn to this hospital for help and each time we received highly qualified medical care - doctors had golden hands and vast experience. With the diagnosis of Perthes disease, the impossible was done for our doctors - the child recovered completely in 3 months !!! I bow to them, but there are questions with the organization. Two weeks ago, they came for a small plastic of the same hip joint and we were offered to immediately pay for 6 days of hospitalization (there were such assumptions about the outcome of the operation), but everything worked out and the child was discharged a day later. As we did not achieve, the money for 5 days was not returned to us .... and the amount is not very small. Argument, nobody drove you away, paid, lie down .... It’s very difficult to deal with the financial department. Money is very reluctant to return. There was an unpleasant aftertaste, and thank you very much for everything else.
They are very professional in what they do and take great care of their patients.
I love this place. I hope they can help my mother. Great and highly qualified doctors, smiling nurses. Congratulations!

- a neoplasm has no clear boundaries
- a patient has increased intracranial pressure
- a patient is in a critical condition (cerebral edema, infections, cardiovascular diseases, exacerbation of chronic diseases).
The effect of Gamma Knife treatment is delayed and can be estimated 3-6 months after irradiation.
How Gamma Knife procedure is performed?
Gamma-ray irradiation concentrates in the target determined by a radiologist. The rays affect diseased cells and stop their growth. Gamma Knife is harmless for healthy cells and surrounding tissues.
What is the difference between Gamma Knife and other methods?
Incisions are not necessary for Gamma Knife session. There is no risk of bleeding, infections or damage to healthy tissues.
Full therapeutic effect is achieved after 1 procedure. When other types if radiosurgery (CyberKnife, Novalis linear accelerator) are applied, a patient receives 5-15 treatment cycles.

The treatment does not require hospitalization and rehabilitation period. A patient can return to usual lifestyle right after the irradiation.
Preparation for Gamma Knife procedure
A doctor detects tumor size and location using CT or MRI. In case of vascular brain malformations, specialists conduct angiography.
Before irradiation, a radiologist develops a treatment plan using MRI and angiography data. This plan is sent to Gamma Knife unit console.
The Gamma Knife radiosurgery cost is calculated after the complete diagnostics.
Gamma Knife procedure process
A patient is placed on the table. A doctor fixes the head in the special stereotactic frame. Soft sedatives are injected so a patient feels comfortable.
The apparatus directs the irradiation inside the tumor. It detects tumor size according to the treatment plan and coordinates frame.
The treatment takes from 10 minutes to several hours. The duration depends on the number of targets, their shape, and size. It also affects the Gamma Knife treatment cost.
During therapy, a doctor controls and communicates with a patient through video/audio monitoring.
After irradiation
When the procedure is over, a patient can return to usual lifestyle. The effect is not immediate, so a patient needs to undergo regular MRI. This way a doctor observes Gamma Knife therapy efficiency.
