Was on vacation in the state of Goa. Before the trip, he performed an operation to remove prostate adenoma, according to the results of a biopsy, he found signs of adenocarcinoma. In order to have different opinions, the doctors decided to consult with a local oncourologist from Manipal hospital. Ostap Bondarenko from Bookimed arranged for me to see a doctor. Before that, he attempted to contact the hospital on his own, but they did not respond.  Everything is well organized there. I like it. All questions discussed. Translator Svetlana first discussed everything with me and clarified the terminology. And then at the reception everything is available to the doctor translated my questions and his advice to me.  The doctor is very competent and explained to me all possible treatment options and the necessary research.

I was approached in December 2019 regarding the treatment of hepatitis C by my mother. I liked everything from the escort on the record, when the doctor coordinator picked up Tatyana took the tests and helped with translating them into English, and clarified the convenient time for making an appointment, do we have tickets, have the hotel and transfer booked and will I need help. Then Olga from the Care Department agreed on a time for us. The only minus is that they didn’t provide information on the cost of transfer to the hospital, wrote that a request would be made to the clinic and most often gg was free, but in the end it turned out to be paid and in the direction back 2.5 times more expensive, but this is rather a question to directly to the hospital. On the spot, they were satisfied with the work of the Indian doctor and Russian-speaking specialist Svetlana, who accompanied the transfer during the appointment, conducted her mother to the doctor’s appointment and tests, and helped to get the medicine at the pharmacy. The required amount for the entire course was not available, so Svetlana offered to deliver to the hotel in person. The prices and quality of services pleased, the doctor’s appointment 900 rupees, taken tests (4 blood tests) about 4,000 rupees. Sofosbuvir + Velpatosvir cost 53,000 rupees per course. Thanks to everyone for the excellent work, we recommend using the services, but if necessary, it is better, of course, not to get sick at all. Health to all!
