Treatment and diagnostics for abroad

I really liked the Memorial Şişli hospital. This is a wonderful clinic, which employs very attentive and professional doctors. They did everything possible so that my little daughter could run, play with peers, enjoy the joys of life. Thank you for the advice and organization of the visit. Well done!

The service offered me several clinics that deal with my problem. I chose Medipol University Hospital. It has the best diagnostic equipment. The doctors, after conducting the examination, conferred for a long time and announced the verdict: an operation is needed. I will prepare. They prescribed medications for me to support the body until it is possible to operate.

I requested a consultation for my fifteen-year-old daughter. She has a congenital heart defect. I sent the entire package of documents and waited a long time for the first consultation. How surprised I was when she was examined by an adult cardiologist. The next day we were consulted by a pediatrician, and then – a third doctor. But he also does not perform the atrial septal defect closure procedure himself. What is the point of all this? Besides, the cost of the examination and procedure is also too high compared to other pediatric cardiology clinics.

My son is 2 years old, he underwent a very complex operation to close an atrial septal defect (10mm). The operation was performed using an endovascular method. We are so happy that we had this operation at Samsung. It was important for us that the operation was not open-heart surgery. I searched for a long time for information, experience, consequences, and dreamed that we could have the operation done this way. In Kazakhstan, such closures are not performed on children weighing less than 15 kg. Many parents take their children to Russia, Germany, South Korea, Israel. By a happy coincidence, we ended up at Samsung, where I met the mother of a baby who was there with the same problem.

I am ready to kiss the hands of surgeon Kang Yi Seok, the entire pediatric department, and the department for working with Russian-speaking patients, Sonia, Lisa, and Mr. Choo. They all contributed to my son's recovery. A fragile girl named Sonia met us at the airport and then accompanied us to examinations, supported me morally during the operation, and became almost like family to me.

About a month has passed since the operation, I look at my son's leg, the site of the operation, but I don't see anything there. No bruise, no scar. If I hadn't seen his leg right after the operation, one might think he never had a puncture. My God, is this really what modern high-tech is?

I want to note the high professionalism of the nurses, how quickly and painlessly they install catheters, draw blood, how they change the adhesive tape on these catheters, wipe the puncture site with special wipes, and massage to prevent stiffness! They find an approach to every child. Everything is so organized and computerized. Each child in the department wears a bracelet on their arm containing all information about the child and the prescribed treatment. When you come for an examination, everyone already knows what examination to do. During the examination, the child watches cartoons. After examinations, we walk in the garden in a special children's stroller with a stand holding various blinking sensors and IV drips.

There are several restaurants, a grocery store, a small household goods store, a bank, a pharmacy, and even souvenir shops on the clinic grounds - it's like a city within a city. I want to tell all parents whose children face heart surgery that the main thing is to find a good clinic, trust the surgeon, and get the best treatment.

Last year was a test for our family. Our son Andryusha was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot. This is a complex congenital heart defect. The only method of treatment is surgical intervention. The operation is not cheap, but thanks to friends and close people for paying for the operation and rehabilitation at the Anadolu clinic in Turkey. From the first second of our stay at the medical center, we saw the professionalism of the doctors. The operation was successful. The medical staff and service employees supported us during rehabilitation.
