3 Recent Installing heart pacemaker Reviews in Austria: Check Real Patient Experience

Anonymous • Consultation with a heart surgeon United Arab Emirates Mar 3, 2020

Verified review.
Dr
Hello. I just wanted to mention some of the things that happened, so that your team is in the loop of what your customers are going through. I was contacted by Dr. Sadeq, which was very pleasant to communicate with. Roman on the other hand, was not clear about anything from the beginning. Saying “don’t worry, it is okay.” After confirming the doctors, and sending all my medical files 2 weeks ahead of time, I came to realise that the doctors have no idea about my condition. I walked in to a confused doctor, not even knowing that I have heart failure. I saw this as quite unprofessional that they haven’t even had time to review my documents. Once the doctor asked for my files, Roman did not have them, and I was forced to give a brief summary of what happened. This made me feel that my case was of no interest or importance to the representative. After finally managing to see the surgeon, he said that was the only day he was available (March 2nd), and that he was flying for work elsewhere. He had asked me to come back on the 16th of March. I could not believe that, as I have paid for tickets, plus hotels for two people (my mother joining) for 10 days in Vienna, when the doctor is not even there to do the surgery I was supposed to do. Do you know what the costs are of this mishap? After that, we ended up seeing another cardiologist recommended by the cardio surgeon. He was great, but when we came back the next day for ROman’s set appointment, it turns out there was no appointment, and he “had to go” and left me to deal with the hospital. The communication with Roman was horrible. I was just waiting in the lobby for 3 days not knowing what will happen, what are the fees, and no warnings or consultations. Especially when an x-ray costs 2,500 euros, I would have appreciated an initial warning of the costs. Not just “come pay” style that he has. That is as much as the biopsy, which I will still have to do in the future. I have experience with companies like yours, but the unprofessionalism, lack of communication, and unorganisation is unprecedented. I am going out of my way just to clarify what my experience was with your team, with handling things. The hospital and doctors were great. It was just the missteps by Roman that was upsetting.

I was not happy with Roman, the representative in Vienna due to many reasons. I have passed on my experience to Varvara.

Installing a pacemaker is a mandatory procedure for a person whose heart cannot maintain the desired rhythm on its own.

  • Choose a quality device . The doctor installs a pacemaker permanently. It will prevent dangerous rhythm failures and sudden cardiac arrest, so you must be sure of the quality of the device. It is important to choose pacemakers from major manufacturers who test the reliability of their products through long-term studies.
  • Specify the type of stimulator . In medicine, pacemakers and cardioverter-defibrillators are used. Their main difference is that the pacemaker only maintains a normal heart rhythm, and the cardioverter-defibrillator “starts” the heart even when it stops completely. This is a technically more complex device, so the cost of its installation is several times higher. Your doctor will recommend a device depending on your diagnosis and the type of heart rhythm disorder.
  • Consider all possible options . In large medical centers in Europe and Asia, the cost of installing a pacemaker may be lower than implanting the same device in the CIS countries. This is due to the peculiarities of taxation and the scale of purchases of each particular clinic.

We have prepared for you a rating of the best clinics for the installation of a pacemaker. If you find it difficult to make a choice, please contact your Bookimed medical coordinator. We are here 24/7 to always take care of your health.

From the very beginning, things went smoothly, clearly and quickly. Very pleasant conversation, no waiting, clear information about payment and with, the outcome exactly as agreed. A great advantage and relief is that before the actual payment and the continuation of the treatment, the doctor's CV is offered, it is not that you are forced to cooperate with a certain one.
