Bookimed had suggested me the best doctors for my kids and myself. As I preferred to have my booking in the Bumrungrad hospital, they exactly understood my requirements and provided with great help. For anyone who doesn’t have any experience also will get proper guidance from bookimed. Thanks a lot.
