Thanks a lot for excellent service. I can not thank enough staff of Teknon Medical Centre Epilepsy Department, especially Irina who was assisting and interpreting everything in Russian to Dr Antonio Russi. It made huge impression on us how thoroughly he analysed the disease from different aspects carefully listening to all details. The 6 days EEG analytical approach including MRI and PET made it perfectly clear which remedy to apply. Definitely to be considered as best clinic in Europe.
