Clinics for rheumatology treatment abroad

I express my gratitude to the leading hemato-oncologist of the Assuta Complex Clinic, Professor Michael Shapir, my attending doctor, for professionalism, attentive and patient attitude, and the choice of drugs that caused my illness to recede.

I also thank Doctor A. Hefets, a leading specialist in the field of ENT surgery, head and neck cancer surgery, for the successful biopsy, as well as oncohematologist Professor O. Shpilberg for his careful attitude during my inpatient treatment.

Special thanks to the medical staff of the oncology and hematology departments who performed my chemotherapy procedures. Thank you for your sensitivity, helpful recommendations, and willingness to help: Nathan, Vera, Lily, Shelley, Dory made these difficult procedures less painful for me.

I thank you for the professionalism and responsiveness of the nurses who accompanied me during my inpatient treatment at the hospital:

Larisa, Ortal, Natali, Natasha, David, Flory, a nutritionist, blood-sampling specialists and the whole team of oncology and hematology departments.

On April 3, I had a surgery for removal of a rectal polyp. I was operated on by the surgeon Svetlana Makhlankin with the team and anesthesiologist Roman Schneider. The operation was quick and painless. Everything was professional. The nursing sisters in the waiting room Eva and Julia were very attentive. This is not my first visit to Assuta hospital. I want to thank the staff and hospital management.

My name is Lubov. My medical history is as follows. I am 32 years old. In February, I found a lump in my chest. Of course, I immediately turned to the mammologist, he directed me to do an ultrasound. I was diagnosed with the mastopathy. He said that I should not worry about nothing, the operation was scheduled for the end of August. Then, having told about this situation to my friend, I realized that it was better not to take risks, especially there is an oncological history in my family (the doctor ignored this fact). A friend advised me to address the company Ilissa, where she was undergoing treatment for cervical cancer and was very pleased. After I have adreesed, a medical consultant Lev contacted me. He was very livable, explained everything concerning treatment and arrival. After he received documentation and from us consultations with the doctor, he sent us a diagnostic program, everything was written in very detailed and understandable ways. The diagnosis was carried out within a week, my fears were justified, the neoplasm was malignant. Thank God, the metastases were not found, an operation and preliminary chemotherapy were recommended. The cost of the operation for me was high. I began to find out the price at us. Then, after I was told that it is necessary to remove the mammary gland, I decided to be operated on in Israel. The operation was conducted by Professor Gutman in the Assuta hospital. The operation was successful. Thank God, they saved the chest. I want to thank Ilissa Center and all the staff of Assuta Hospital! In particular, Leo and Roni, they were available even at a later time and were patient, despite my frequent calls and numerous questions before and after treatment. Thank you very much!!

I, Panfilova Svetlana Mikhailovna, was examining in Assuta from May 23, 2017 till May 26!!! I would like to express my words of gratitude, tears of joy overwhelm me!!! My adviced me to go there (her grandson was examined there). With our doctors, this is a circle pit! I was diagnosed with diffuse colitis, it was scary … Upon arriving in Israel, I was met and taken to the clinic. On the same day, I passed the tests and was consulted by a gastroenterologist, Doctor Laav Maor. After reviewing my examinations, he said (Without doing another colonoscopy): “You don’t have nothing like that!” And after I did colonoscopy, he confirmed it again! Thanks also to Professor Moshkovich and Professor Eldad Ben Shitrit, Head of the Department of Rheumatology !!! Wonderful people! In addition, I thank all the attendants, they were called 2 Olya and Svetlana! I am 60 years old, but I was treated like a child, so much attention! And most importantly understanding! The people in Israel are very responsive. If they did not understand my Russian in the cafe, then someone from the visitors helped me!!! Thanks and thanks again!!!!!

Last summer, I was diagnosed in Assuta. I was very pleased with the professionalism of doctors, prices, and service in general. In addition, the diagnosis made in Russia was not confirmed. Arriving in Israel, I was staying at my friend and went to the clinic without any problems by public transport. By the way, the first doctor’s appointment was assigned to me on the day of arrival. I got an appointment with specialists in various fields, including an oncologist, a mammologist, an endocrinologist, etc. I passed all the necessary laboratory tests and in less than 2 weeks I got the results. At all stages of the trip I was accompanied by a coordinator, who greatly simplified my stay in the clinic. I was very glad that I did not have cancer. I will never again use the services of Russian doctors, and I will only go for treatment abroad. It’s worth it. After all, life and health are the most expensive.

I would like to thank Professor Baniel, Doctor Nado and all the staff of the urology department of the Rabin Medical Center. They removed a kidney carcinoma from my dad with damage to the aorta and metastases in the lymph nodes. My father is no longer young, and for him the operation was complicated, but everything went fine. During the entire rehabilitation period, my father was always surrounded with care and attention. Thank you all for a great job!

Услышав, что у меня стеноз левой коронарной артерии, я пребывала в шоковом состоянии. Рекомендации специалистов сделать шунтирование восприняла, как приговор. Родня настаивала, чтобы я пролечилась именно за границей. Никогда раньше я не выезжала за рубеж, поэтому очень боялась, а тем более, ехать нужно было на лечение. Однако, по приезде в Израиль, меня встретила приятная девушка – русскоязычный координатор Вика. Она помогла мне добраться до медцентра, куда я направлялась. Там меня прооперировали. Все прошло без осложнений. Я не жалею, что поехала именно в этот центр, поскольку убедилась, насколько профессионально и слаженно здесь работают не только специалисты, но и весь персонал. Особая благодарность профессору Шмуэлю Фуксу. Спасибо всем за внимание к моей персоне. «Рабин» – это то учреждение, в котором работают настоящие профессионалы!

This is a friendly, professional and very convenient in all respects modern medical center. One of the best in Israel. It is not inferior and even surpasses in many ways the state hospital Tel a Shomer

Мне необходимо было сделать томографию. После того, как я это сделала, мне нужно было ждать, что скажет доктор. После МРТ чувствовала себя нормально, но волновалась о результатах. Мой лечащий эндокринолог, доктор Гурштейн – наш соотечественник, считающийся одним из лучших в клинике. Это мнение подтверждено экзаменационными результатами, которые врачи получают регулярно. УЗИ мне делала приветливая женщина, которой за 60. Оказывается, это Майя Коэн – врач, которой нет равных. За многолетнюю практику израильский доктор показала, что умеет справиться с любым пациентом, шутя и подбадривая, несмотря на желание некоторых пациентов покинуть ее кабинет из-за боязни услышать нечто неприятное о своей болезни. Невозможно умолчать и о русскоязычном координаторе Анне, умеющей успокоить, поддержать, уговорить и все грамотно организовать. Огромная благодарность! Друзья! Дай вам Бог избежать любое подозрение на онкологическое заболевание. Но если уж случится, что таковой диагноз поставлен, не стоит тратить время и деньги на другие клиники, сразу отправляйтесь в Израильский онкоцентр.Из личного блога пациентки (выдержка приводится с ее разрешения)

Два года назад узнала о том, что у меня рак груди. К счастью, выявили опухоль, пока она не успела дать метастазы. Я осознавала, что очень ограничена во времени и нужно срочно принимать решение. Посоветовавшись со знакомыми, приняла решение поехать в Израиль, где мне впоследствии провели операцию по удалению и реконструкции груди. Я находилась под наблюдением у профессора Ринат Ерушальми, которая оказалась не только хорошим врачом, но и замечательным человеком. Также в этот период удалось поездить по Израилю и посмотреть достопримечательности, что помогло немного отвлечься. Сейчас каждые полгода приезжаю на проверку и продолжаю совмещать ее с отдыхом.

One of the best hospitals in Barcelona. Attentive staff, qualified and high level of medical care.

Excellent professionals, facilities, and treatment for the patient.

I was there for an operation on my wrist, everything was perfect. Excellent day hospital and conditions.

I liked the stay in this good clinic with a high level of service. The staff is very friendly. There is a translator from Spanish to Russian, she came along with the doctor. The doctor came even on days when he should not be in the clinic. The only negative thing is that after the end of hospitalization, we needed to extend our stay, because we wanted to hear the opinion of the doctor, and it cost us 500 euros per day. In general, I have very positive impressions from the clinic, doctor, and foreign department. A week later we had a Skype call with a doctor, he prescribed a treatment. We will wait for the results.

My experience is excellent good treatment and service, the downside is the price for parking

Everything is organized very cool. I cannot believe that this is all for the taxpayers’ money. But in other hand, it is very expensive. Apparently, a good service costs so much. We came here to do an operation to remove a malignant tumor in our daughter. Were very pleased with the service. It is said that the pediatric oncology department in this clinic is, if not the best, then one of those.

I was undergoing treatment in the Nuclear Medicine Department in November / December 2018. I have a very good experience. Here you will be treated politely, they will explain everything and accompany you during the examination! I was treated by 4 different doctors, and everyone was competent and inspired confidence. Thank you very much! In addition, the therapy worked perfectly! You are cool!

I spent 4 bed-days in neurology. I must say that the doctors and nurses here are doing an excellent job. I mean that all the staff with whom I spoke were very pleasant and courteous. The doctor in the emergency room (night shift) was very polite and competent.

Competent doctors, impeccable care in all respects (urology).

We made a decision that I should give birth to our daughter in the university hospital. We were very impressed with midwives, nurses, and doctors. The team of midwives is incredibly well chosen, it consists of younger as well as more experienced midwives, all of whom are highly professional and all of them are very knowledgeable. We have never seen such a good working team as in the delivery room at the University of Cologne! As well, the care was perfect in the neonatal ward! Super good nurses and midwives gave advice: how to breastfeed, how to hold the baby in the arms, do up the baby, and so on.

We are very excited! We highly recommend this hospital!

Hello! For the first time I sincerely want to leave a review, because it can save someone’s life. My husband had a stroke, I’ll miss all the details because my story can make the whole book … The point is that this is a great sorrow, like any illness. After many ordeals and treatment, my husband recovered. By the way, he was treated at the best specialists. I can assure you that everything was at the highest level in this clinic, through and through. Special thanks to all doctors of the clinic, Doctor Anne and translator Manuel. Accommodation, treatment, medications, and translator support were included in the price. My stay with my husband was also unimpeded and they took care of me too. This is not just a course of therapy, treatment, but also care and a wonderful atmosphere of the clinic, staff, and the wonderful nature around. The most important thing is that my expectations of treatment were not only justified, but also surpassed. Don’t waste time on treatment at us. The sooner you get into a country where doctors are responsible for the person and his (her) health, the sooner you will be cured. I love my country, we pay taxes here, but we can’t even get any high-quality medicines for money and worsen only our health, but it’s priceless. In sorrow, someone’s support and assurance that the services will be of high quality are very important. This gives HOPE.

After the accident, I lost one leg, but it remained possible to restore the functionality of the second and eventually start walking again using a prosthesis. I was recommended the Lasnitshöhe clinic in Austria. Using the maximum of all the proposed procedures, I was able to start moving again. I plan to continue therapy at home to keep fit. Thanks to all the doctors for their help and positive attitude!

After my mother had a stroke, we began to look for an opportunity to correct the situation. Sad prospects were voiced in our clinics, so the option remained – treatment abroad. We chose the Lasnitshöhe clinic. The results of the treatment exceeded all expectations. Mom was able to walk normally again and her speech improved significantly. She was even able to lose weight, although before that she could not do it! Thank you wonderful doctors!

I went to this clinic for rehabilitation after a spinal fracture. Let me tell you this, it was a very difficult period in my life. But thanks to the doctors of the center, Lasnitshöhe was on the mend. There, for each patient, an individual program is compiled and many rehabilitation procedures are prescribed. Therefore, if you are looking for a rehabilitation therapist who will help you get back on your feet, then you are definitely here.

Great professionals! Our children are in safe hands. I will always be grateful for the care and attention to my daughter. The children’s oncology team was headed by Dr. Mora. Thank you very much!

Excellent professionals and equipment! Everyone treated us wonderfully, everyone explained to us, accompanied us throughout the whole healing process. This is an incredibly hospitable hospital!

One of the best hospitals in Europe, they are very friendly with children and very kind, attentive, and caring in relation to their patients!

One of the best hospitals for children in Europe. There is a maternity hospital, gynecology, examinations, ambulance, and specialists. Everything is at the highest level, but you have to wait very long. Caring staff, comfortable wards. One- or two-people wards. There is a bathroom in the ward, you can take a shower as well as there is a wardrobe, a table. The beds are comfortable, regulated. There is a TV. Tasty food. The hospital is located on a mountain and the entrance offers a stunning view of Barcelona. There is a cafeteria-restaurant, very beautiful! The menu is about 10 euros. There are devices in which you can buy water, sandwiches, sweets, juices, as well as tea and coffee. There is Wi-Fi.

Three months ago, my daughter had scoliosis. I have only words of gratitude to the entire medical team and all hospital specialists. Thanks so much for everything!!!

The high level and quality of medicine at the Hospital of Severance, the city in Korea. The clinic is huge, everything is beautiful, clean. We really liked our doctor very much, easily and quickly found common ground, and came to a single solution to our problem. Thanks for the organization and a special thank to the coordinator, who quickly responded! We will go with you again and recommend to others!!!

I have not seen such a level of service in Russia! All our family was examined, it took about 40 minutes! During this time, we examined everything that includes the standard package! After the examination we were taken to the dining room at the clinic and we were fed for free! After 3 working days, the results were ready! The doctor with the help of a translator explained everything to us, told, and showed! Great! Expensive! But it’s worth it!

Good clinic. Purely. The doctors are professional. Well equipped.

By a happy chance, I fell into the hands of experienced doctors of the South Korean Samsung Medical Center. I was already preparing for an operation in Moscow. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, my predictions were 50 to 50. Our doctors are always afraid to take on extra responsibility for the operation. If something goes wrong in the end, they will say that this is not those 50 percent. Suddenly it turned out that my father had agreed without me that they would put me on an operation at the Samsung Center in South Korea. At first I thought he was joking – well, what kind of treatment can be in a clinic with a name like a TV. But dad insisted that I go there at least for a consultation. It turned out that this is one of the largest medical centers in South Korea with a worldwide reputation. I was examined by doctors from Korea and the United States. They made an impression on me that I could completely trust my life to them, although I didn’t always respond well to the doctors. Needless to say about the state-of-the-art equipment there! In medicine, Korea justifies its leadership in the field of world technology too. I think I had a brilliant operation. For those doctors, this is their usual job. After the anesthesia, I did not feel any pain. Postoperative observations showed that the tumor was completely removed. In six months, I will go there again for a medical examination. I am absolutely sure that I won this terrible disease with the help of Korean doctors!

There were many people, we had to wait, but it was worth it. Professor Kim, Seok Jin, thank you very much for helping in the treatment of my mother.

Hospital Samsung in Seoul is super! The best medical center in Korea! I have been observed here by neurosurgeons and neuropathologists for 11 years and they always treat me friendly and kindly.

The level of the Samsung clinic’s services in South Korea is very high! The medical staff is impressive! I have not seen yet such an attention to all the little details.

All services were provided on time, each stage of work was thought out, several times it was discussed, I received instructions, which were easy and simple to follow in a country with a foreign language. The translator met me on time, and she led me to the doctor, who confirmed the diagnosis of Moscow professors. I would like to receive advice from the doctor regarding alternative treatment methods, but the verdict is unequivocal – the need for surgery, which is proposed by Moscow doctors.

Very good clinic! Doctors are professionals in their field!!!

I had a backache. After the consultation, the doctors recommended surgery. Then I went through rehabilitation, and now I feel better and better. The nurses were kind to me. And after two days I was dismissed from the clinic.

The hospital is clean, everything is neat inside. The staff is very friendly.

The doctor was very kind during a breast biopsy, explained to me everything he was going to do before starting. I was pleased.

I would like to say a few words about this hospital and even more about Doctor Rozanghel Lattanzio, one of the most accessible and professional doctors I have ever known. He saved my vision by curing vasculopathy and warning all possible consequences. I thank you and I will never stop doing it, because the hospitability and love that you put into your work is very rare.

For those who have diseases of the retina, maculopathy, etc., trust this angel!

The hematology department in San Raffaele is really excellent, the doctors are all very well prepared, they took care of my husband who had a bone marrow transplant. We recommend addressing San Raffaele if necessary.

The professionalism of the doctors, the latest equipment, and the care of the clinic staff are among the best in Europe. We underwent treatment and surgery in Russia and Germany, with full responsibility declare that the San Raffaele clinic in Milan is the best. Thank you very much to the coordinator, doctors from the international department of the clinic. You are real professionals. I bow down before an oncologist, a surgeon, a gastroentrologist, a neurologist, and all the medical staff of the San Raffaele Clinic. There would be more such doctors in the world. THANK YOU!

This hospital is an excellent institution, because every time I come for various medical examinations, I am always satisfied with the professionalism of all the staff (doctors, nurses, and all operators at the front desk).

I want to thank the whole Department of Urology, which helped me with great professionalism after a radical cystectomy on July 10, 2018. Special thanks to Doctor Deho, who saved me. Thank you so much for everything!
