TREATMENT IN AUSTRIA TESTIMONIALS

Hospital: Wiener Privatklinik

 

Procedure: Angioplasty

 

Patient's age: 49 y.o.

 

From: Voronezh

Vladimir: “I underwent stent angioplasty in the spring of 2016 at the Wiener Privatklinik (I had CHD). The surgeons installed a covered stent since those are more reliable and have longer durability. Before the operation, I got tested again at the clinic. The operation was under local anesthesia. The stent was inserted through the radial artery (this is a new method, less traumatic). After that, I recovered pretty quickly, and I am feeling great now! I can recommend this clinic. Everything was on the highest level, the only issue was the price”

Hospital: Rudolfinerhaus Hospital

 

Procedure: Gastroenterological operation

 

Patient's age: 45 y.o.

 

From: Krasnodar

Mikhail: “I hope my experience and feedback will be useful for someone. I was treated at the Rudolfinerhaus Hospital. I needed a difficult gastroenterological operation, and no hospitals in my home town had the necessary equipment. My attending physician advised me to go to the Rudolfinerhaus. The prices were high, of course, but my family helped. Thank God, I managed to go there and get quality treatment. The hospital had an interpreter, and that was very convenient. First I got examined to confirm the diagnosis. It shocked me how quickly the results came back. The surgery was a success, and I felt fine afterward. The staff was very helpful, and the doctors came over almost every hour to ask how I was doing. They also had a system that showed your general state after the operation. As of now, I don’t have any complaints, I don’t even have any scars! Thank you!”
