Verified review.
"I am totally satisfied"
I had a consultation with Prof. Colombo on the 29th of April. I was complaining of chronic headache for more than one year. The clinic is very organized and the staff are friendly and proffessional. They also asign a doctor that speaks your language to attend with you in case you need any help with communication. Prof. Colombo is very professional, he gave me all the time to ask and discuss with him all what I wanted. Thanks to Bookimed and Dr. Marian for their recommendation. It really helped me. I am totally satisfied. I wanted to find a good place specialized in headache treatment and Bookimed helped me find the perfect place.
