Sergey
Country treatment:
Türkiye, Medipol University Hospital
Direction:
Gastroenterology

I am not satisfied with the service. I had to stand in lines for a long time, and I did not get the expected result. The doctor who consulted me is pleasant to communicate with, but he did not delve into the essence of the problem I came with. I think the time and money were wasted. Huge thanks to the interpreter. He was constantly nearby, helping in communication with the medical staff.
