"We have hope for a recovery, thanks to the highest-level specialist Dr
We were examined in one of the clinics of this network - the Dexeus hospital. I am very grateful to the medical coordinators of Bookimed for their help in organizing the consultation there. We have a very complex ophthalmological problem that we have been trying to solve for many years. We traveled to different countries, consulted with very experienced doctors in the largest university clinics in Germany. But unfortunately, none of them had encountered similar situations before and could not prescribe us an effective treatment to solve the problem. And when we arrived at the Dexeus hospital, we were able to get a very highly qualified consultation, conduct serious examinations, and now we have hope for a recovery, thanks to the highest-level specialist Dr. Verges, who turned out to be the first doctor who successfully treated previously such complex types of eye allergies as my son had. The clinic of this network pleasantly surprised us with the most modern approach to examinations, a high level of specialists and cutting-edge equipment. Absolutely not inferior to well-known German clinics. We will now recommend her to our friends and family.
About Bookimed service

Corneal transplant is a surgery to replace the part of a patient’s corneal tissue with a donor’s one. A donor is a deceased person. The cornea has no blood vessels, so the blood group of a donor is not essential.

Artificial replacement or keratoprosthesis is another type of corneal transplant. In this case, surgeons use eye implants. The procedure is prescribed for those patients who have had the failure of a donor corneal tissue.

The staff is attentive. I did not get any useful information or help from the doctor. In addition, he was extremely careless with regard to the previous examinations provided for familiarisation. I would definitely not want to see this doctor again.
