"Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level
image image
Hello, my name is Vladislav Ivanov, Ukraine, Odessa city. In February 2021, my daughter Vlada was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, we went to the doctors for a week trying to find out why the child started having severe headaches. They went through examinations, did an MRI, and as a fact, they found a brain tumor. That's when the ground slipped from under my feet. Realization has come - this has already happened, which means you need to quickly take action. The first thing we did was go to the children's hospital in Kyiv, the child was given a shunt. But unfortunately, fluid began to collect in my head and my vision began to fall sharply. The doctors explained that an operation was urgently needed. We did not have a large accumulated amount, and we decided to complete the operation abroad. We contacted Bookmed. We contacted the employee Marina. Marina quickly found a clinic for us in Turkey, organized a trip for us, flew to Turkey in a matter of days. The hospital was already waiting for us. Examined, took blood for tests and the next day an operation was scheduled. Everything went well. Then they underwent a course of radiotherapy. The results are positive, we were sent home to Ukraine (August 2021). Every 3 months they underwent MRI, the pictures were good .. But a year later, in March 2022, we heard the terrible words “relapse”, “war”. Hastily collected the necessary documents and left for Lviv. From there, by large buses, all children with cancer began to be taken out along the humanitarian corridor from Ukraine to Europe. The daughter and his wife were assigned to France. A second operation was performed, the tumor was removed, and after that a course of chemotherapy was prescribed. After a month of taking the course, the doctor said that chemotherapy was not helping. The doctor suggested experimental chemotherapy, but that didn't help either. As a result, the daughter is getting worse and worse every day. The child began to walk badly, the right leg and handle practically do not work. The child melted before my eyes. It's all very scary, but it's worse to leave Vlad without an opportunity for treatment. I again turned to Marina Bookmed Marina again very quickly found us a hospital in Turkey, helped us with the flight Paris Istanbul. Arrived at the hospital 2 days later, the operation was successful!!! After the operation, the child began to talk, swallow, and after a couple of days to walk. What I want to say Bookmed in particular Marina Provided us with moral support documentary for the second time at the highest level. Marina many thanks to you and your team THANK YOU.

The clinic is good. Doctors too, but the prices are very expensive. From the beginning, the coordinator and translator do not say that they have service packages. I found out about this by accident. Immediately upon payment, ask for a receipt and you will know exactly what and how much you have to pay for. On my first visit, it was the translator who told the cashier a different amount, but it turned out that the amount there was much less. It was precisely because of this that I asked Bookimed to change both the translator and the coordinator. Be carefull. I am very grateful to the Bookimed company, they are experts in their field, especially Marina, I can write to her at any time, she will gladly answer and help me. It was she who brought me to this clinic and she, through representatives, found out how much I appreciated the treatment. Although this was the coordinator's job. The coordinator was not there to help or pick up the phone at all and didn’t even answer lately. Apparently I didn’t like the fact that I already understood everything perfectly well. I don’t know the price of finding out this is something secret, I don’t know the permanent answer. They know everything very well and it has turned into a business. Pay the money and immediately get a check from the financial department. Also, if you have dollars, ask for the exchange rate in lira. Their rate in the database is different.

Conclusions: if you have completed all the treatments and nothing has helped you and your fate is neurosurgery, feel free to trust yourself to this staff and Prof
Medipol-March 2024. March 2024, the pain can no longer be tolerated. The left side of the leg is taken away, there are strong shootings all over the leg. The organization was at the highest level. They met me upon arrival, put me in a car, took me to the hotel, and in the morning I ended up seeing a Neurosurgeon. The next day - surgery. Removal of intervertebral hernia L4-L5. Three months have passed, there is no pain like before, there are moments, but completely different. Personal thanks from me: Prof.Dr Nejat Akalan- Thank you for providing such relief to my illness. The pain is gone, I don’t run, but it’s very easy compared to what I had before when I didn’t come to you. Thank you so much! Dasha - Thank you very much for your support and organization of all the moments. Your speed and logistics helped me a lot. It is very valuable that you work and help people in this area.

The organization of the trip is at the highest level, the organization is impressive
Everything is very well organized, fast communication between the doctor, translator, and financial department. We had a problem with housing, they didn’t abandon us at night, the clinic staff helped. We did an examination, so I can’t say about the results of the treatment yet. The facilities at the clinic are wonderful, we consulted with 2 doctors, we have a diagnosis and a treatment method. The radiologist is competent and specialist, but not verbose. I didn’t have enough explanations about the risks, etc., the plastic surgeon explained everything in detail, answered all my questions, he was a very nice person. The organization of the trip is at the highest level, the organization is impressive. The diagnosis has been made, treatment methods have been determined, we plan to come for treatment in six months, because the prices are too expensive for us. I can write about the quality of treatment after treatment.
The organization from arrival to departure is superb.
All liked it.

The most important thing in life is health, I completely changed my priorities, because when you understand that you can’t do anything, you start just asking Allah
Hello! I thank the bookimed team for getting us to the clinic in Medipol Turkey. I was very confused and did not even know how to find a clinic! I accidentally looked at this clinic on YouTube and decided to write to bookimed. You just have no idea how scared I was thinking if I was doing the right thing! It turns out to be very correct. I got good doctors. I am satisfied. God forbid that my son recovers and that no one ever gets sick. Many thanks to Marina, she is always my motivator at any time, I can write to her, she will gladly answer and explain everything to me. May Allah grant you all long life and health! Come visit us in Tashkent, I love you all! The most important thing in life is health, I completely changed my priorities, because when you understand that you can’t do anything, you start just asking Allah.
