I've been going to see Tatiana Vladimirovna for 11 years now. He is an experienced doctor, versatile, and surprisingly empathetic.:and he will listen and explain everything. She does an ultrasound scan herself during the examination, the observations are always very thorough. It is this doctor who knows his patients, all the nuances of their health. I definitely recommend this doctor.

This is my first visit to your clinic. I did a similar study earlier 2 years ago (in a powerful, good multiprof...MC on a Philips Ingenia 1.5T device). To be honest, your Siemens Magnetom Ess..(in terms of caustrophobia, much, much better than that (which was critical for me when I chose a medical center). It's also a little better in terms of noise. The only thing is that additional air would be supplied to make it easier for the patient to breathe, at his request). And so (the work and attitude) of Vadim Konstantinovich Beloborodov, the procedure itself, and so on were "very OK." Moreover, undoubtedly, everything is decorated by your very outstanding, apparently, Anna Vadimovna. I'll give it to her from me, as a comparatively prominent Ross.The scientist, - low bow! And so, the attitude (towards your prohibitively expensive clinic) So far, I have something ambivalent. Although you charge very high amounts, there are several "obviously outright minor mistakes" (such as gluing gauze to my skin, which covers the place where the catheter was attached to the arm vein). Or you cannot correctly record the exact customer's e-mail address in the contract. Or they chose a smallish font for the elderly (and similar "aspects"). So I'm giving you a total of only 4 points because of this.
