The coordinator helped me perfectly in determining the place of treatment, collecting all the necessary documents and agreeing with the clinic about my hospitalization
It is still difficult to assess the level of medicine, it will be necessary to find out the results and see if the treatment helps. The doctor seemed very competent, but it also needs to be checked. The conditions in the wards were top notch. The coordinator helped me perfectly in determining the place of treatment, collecting all the necessary documents and agreeing with the clinic about my hospitalization. Himself would be very difficult. Read more less

"Especially I want to say about Dr
First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the coordinator of the International Patient Support Center, Svetlana Pashchenko, who helped with the professional choice of a doctor and in solving organizational issues of a trip to Spain. I want to express my gratitude to the staff of the above clinic. High professionalism, attentive attitude to patients, kindness and cordiality of the personnel of the center are those qualities that anyone who comes for help faces. The junior and nursing staff are tactful, quickly responding to the requests of patients. Everywhere cleanliness and comfort. The medical staff is not only competent specialists, but also just kind and cordial people. They always come into the ward with smiles, they know how to cheer up a child, and how to explain the need for medical procedures. Thanks to them, children feel safe, comfortably settling in this medical institution, equipped with the latest medical equipment. Especially I want to say about Dr. Antonio Russi, from whom I am delighted! Highly professional doctor of the European level - Doctor “From God”, possessing high theoretical and practical knowledge in his medical profile. Doctors Russi is distinguished by an individual approach and self-control, patience, wisdom, honesty, calmness and high competence. Such a sensitive, attentive doctor can be trusted not only with the examination and subsequent medical prescriptions, but also as a whole with further treatment of the child. Many of the patients of the innovative medical center "Teknon" will agree with me that a warm atmosphere of love and respect for patients, emotional support for the health of patients, a positive perception of life and an unlimited belief in complete recovery are created here. May God grant you health and long life! God bless you!                                                                                                    Almaty, Kazakhstan Read more less

- We have been trying to understand what has been going on with our child for 2 years, and the doctor has made the horrible diagnosis has been incorrect
We came from Moscow to Barcelona, to Dr. Russi. We have been trying to understand what has been going on with our child for 2 years. Our doctors are so stupid that have made a totally different diagnoses. We were in hell. We underwent all possible tests and had nothing. Dr. Russi has found a cause of the disease and prescribed a medicine. Of course it’s not over, but our child feels better now. The hospital was great. We came over, and paid for procedures. We stayed in a VIP room, however, paid for a standard one. It was big and light. A child was immediately connected to the EEG and heart sensors. Then he underwent the MRI and we left the hospital. Next day we had a consultation, and the doctor informed us about treatment and prescribed a medicine unavailable in Moscow. Thanks a lot to interpreters. Well-done! The doctor has made the horrible diagnosis has been incorrect. And there is only one disadvantage - we are waiting for medical record more than 2 months. Read more less

It is thanks to the world's best medical equipment, in which the clinic is equipped and a well-trained team of doctors
Ms. Liza Dudnik from bookimed reacted very fast and was very very involved from the beginning. She was in constant touch with us all the time, even during her holidays. Teknon Centre is one of the best when we think about medical equipment, service, doctors and the atmosphere there. Cleanliness deserves for 5 stars. Dr. Antonio Russi and his team very involved with the study and very helpful when something happens. The nurses were treating my son as their own and thanks to them my son was not feeling as being during the hospitalization. Everybody, there was taking care of my son with great care, patience, and enormous kindness. And finally....what's the most important in this "diamond frame" - the diagnostic of my son is the best. My son's diagnosis is very clear. My son has been examined so thoroughly that the clinics in Germany (where my son is being treated) could not make such a clear diagnosis. It is thanks to the world's best medical equipment, in which the clinic is equipped and a well-trained team of doctors. Everything that has been included in this "diamond frame" deserves the highest rating of customer satisfaction. Nothing, absolutely nothing, does not remain here without a shadow of a doubt.
