Step-by-Step Roadmap

Arrival

  • Land in the country and reach your hotel or clinic.
  • Complete necessary paperwork for medical treatment.
  • Settle into your clinic or hotel accommodation.

Diagnostics

  • A complete medical history review will be taken.
  • Conduct an Electroencephalogram (EEG) to record brain activity.
  • Perform a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to visualize brain structures.
  • Carry out a physical and neurological examination.

Treatment plan development

  • Based on diagnostic results, a personalized treatment plan is created.
  • Discuss treatment plan and options with the patient"s family.

Treatment

  • Prescribe specific medications aimed at controlling seizures.
  • In severe cases, a ketogenic diet may be recommended.
  • Vigabatrin is often the first-line treatment for West syndrome.

Follow-up

  • Regularly monitor the patient"s response to the treatment.
  • Adjust the treatment plan as necessary based on follow-ups.

Rehabilitation

  • Engage in physical therapy to improve motor skills.
  • Receive occupational therapy to enhance daily life skills.
  • Partake in speech therapy to improve communication abilities.

Only a doctor can determine a diagnostic and treatment plan, and it"s individual. Additional diagnostic options might include genetic testing, metabolic testing, and lumbar puncture. Besides medical therapy, surgical options like corpus callosotomy and focal resection could also be considered if medication is unsuccessful.

What patients like

  1. West syndrome treatment efficacy. German healthcare institutions are known for using advanced and innovative treatments for West syndrome. They often incorporate therapies like ACTH or vigabatrin which have shown positive results in reducing spasms and improving cognitive development.
  2. Doctor's professionalism. German doctors are known for their high level of training and expertise. They are often members of recognized international medical organizations and have performed numerous West syndrome treatments or surgeries.
  3. Cost. The West syndrome treatment cost in Germany ranges from $398.86 to $1253.55. This is competitive when compared to the average cost of similar treatments in countries like the US, where the price is often significantly higher.
  4. Service level. Patients also appreciate the high level of service in German clinics, where the staff is usually multilingual and the facilities are modern and comfortable.
  5. Logistics. Germany's central location in Europe and well-organized transportation system make it easily accessible for international patients.

What patients don't like

  1. Despite the high level of care, some patients may find the cost of treatment in Germany prohibitively high, especially those without adequate insurance coverage.
  2. While Germany is geographically accessible for European patients, those coming from different continents may find the travel logistics more challenging.
  3. Some patients have reported long waiting times for appointments and procedures, which can be stressful for families dealing with a severe condition like West syndrome.

The clinic operated on the father (oncology and urology). Excellent chamber, a wonderful surgeon Dr. Wolfgang Dillenburg and head. Department of prof. Edward Becht. Protocol examination on good equipment, friendly doctors, excellent postoperative care. Most of all I was surprised that Prof. Bekht personally made a detour twice a day: in the morning with medical staff, in the afternoon one. But in general, everything is sharpened by a long full life. I am very pleased. What else I liked: the patient is explained everything in detail, offering several ways to solve the problem. It's great!

Doctor with a capital letter After a long rush about doctors, I finally found Professor Schels - not just a world specialist, but also a sympathetic person who attentively and thoughtfully listened to my whole story, looked at the extracts and appointed additional examinations. All diagnostics took place extremely quickly and clearly. The prescribed treatment of Professor Scheels is working, this is the most important thing. Special thanks to the accompanying Vladimir for the clear translation and help in resolving all issues.

Charité is the most famous university hospital in the whole Europe which was founded yet in 1710. The majority of patients choosing treatment in Germany prefer this clinic because of its high popularity and good reviews. International patients are not a priority for Charité, so patients from other countries should be prepared for long terms of application processing and absence of foreign patients reception service.

We are discharging from the hospital, we will keep in touch with this doctor. The procedures go terribly, there is no specific treatment prescribed yet, there is no diagnosis. Besides the fact that my daughter eats, has lunch, has dinner as in a usual sanatorium, they just rip off 600-700 euros per night - a lot of money when you don’t see the result, why stay, just overnight to pay money. I am not happy with the visit.

My mother was diagnosed in Russia with a terrible diagnosis - breast cancer stage 4. The doctors' actions were not credible, so we turned to Bookimed for the selection of a clinic and a doctor. We were offered a Park-Klinik Weißensee, Dr. Ursula Makowiec. Mom passed a 3-day examination in the hospital, in a separate ward. Friendly atmosphere, professionalism, respect for the elderly patient - all this allowed us to relax, not to try to control every step of the medical staff, to read the articles on the Internet. I was sure that we made the right choice. And most importantly - the diagnosis was not confirmed! My mother was not breast cancer with metastases, but a sweat cancer in the armpit without any signs of metastases, the prognosis is much more favorable. The doctor told us - you came here with a fatal diagnosis, but you came out as a healthy person! We plan to be observed further in this clinic with this doctor. I would also like to thank the translator Marina Wernke. She was not only an excellent professional, but also a very pleasant conversationalist, we were very comfortable with her. I also want to thank the curators who helped a lot all the time while mom was in the clinic.
