- "My family and I remember the time spent in Teknon with warmth and gratitude to all who were with us for this short time
On January 21, we arrived at the Teknon clinic late at night, which pleasantly surprised us without any problems settled in the ward and the examination began in the morning. The clinic impressed us.
The medical staff was incredibly polite and friendly. Everything, two days of examinations passed easily and naturally.
Many thanks to the international department, Irina, who was in touch with us even at night, Olesya, who led us from September to January and reacted and responded to all my letters. Maria, who monitored all the sensors and indications during the examination and of course Dr. Antonio Russi!
During the first 10 years of treatment of epilepsy, I heard a phrase from which all doctors fended off, as in Ukraine as in Russia. Need to find the CAUSE of epilepsy! It plays a crucial role in the selection of treatment. It is also worth noting that the participation of these wonderful people in the acquisition of essential drugs in Spain (we just brought them to the house)
My family and I remember the time spent in Teknon with warmth and gratitude to all who were with us for this short time. And something tells me that we will meet with you next year) once again, many thanks to all those who were next to us, Irina, Olesya, Maria, Kirill (thanks for calling back September and introduced us to the doctor in Kiev) and of course a special thanks and kowtow to Dr. Antonio Russi.

The coordinator helped me perfectly in determining the place of treatment, collecting all the necessary documents and agreeing with the clinic about my hospitalization
It is still difficult to assess the level of medicine, it will be necessary to find out the results and see if the treatment helps. The doctor seemed very competent, but it also needs to be checked.
The conditions in the wards were top notch. The coordinator helped me perfectly in determining the place of treatment, collecting all the necessary documents and agreeing with the clinic about my hospitalization. Himself would be very difficult.

"Especially I want to say about Dr
First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the coordinator of the International Patient Support Center, Svetlana Pashchenko, who helped with the professional choice of a doctor and in solving organizational issues of a trip to Spain.
I want to express my gratitude to the staff of the above clinic. High professionalism, attentive attitude to patients, kindness and cordiality of the personnel of the center are those qualities that anyone who comes for help faces. The junior and nursing staff are tactful, quickly responding to the requests of patients. Everywhere cleanliness and comfort. The medical staff is not only competent specialists, but also just kind and cordial people. They always come into the ward with smiles, they know how to cheer up a child, and how to explain the need for medical procedures. Thanks to them, children feel safe, comfortably settling in this medical institution, equipped with the latest medical equipment.
Especially I want to say about Dr. Antonio Russi, from whom I am delighted! Highly professional doctor of the European level - Doctor “From God”, possessing high theoretical and practical knowledge in his medical profile. Doctors Russi is distinguished by an individual approach and self-control, patience, wisdom, honesty, calmness and high competence. Such a sensitive, attentive doctor can be trusted not only with the examination and subsequent medical prescriptions, but also as a whole with further treatment of the child.
Many of the patients of the innovative medical center "Teknon" will agree with me that a warm atmosphere of love and respect for patients, emotional support for the health of patients, a positive perception of life and an unlimited belief in complete recovery are created here. May God grant you health and long life! God bless you!

- We have been trying to understand what has been going on with our child for 2 years, and the doctor has made the horrible diagnosis has been incorrect
We came from Moscow to Barcelona, to Dr. Russi. We have been trying to understand what has been going on with our child for 2 years. Our doctors are so stupid that have made a totally different diagnoses. We were in hell. We underwent all possible tests and had nothing.
Dr. Russi has found a cause of the disease and prescribed a medicine. Of course it’s not over, but our child feels better now. The hospital was great. We came over, and paid for procedures. We stayed in a VIP room, however, paid for a standard one. It was big and light. A child was immediately connected to the EEG and heart sensors. Then he underwent the MRI and we left the hospital.
Next day we had a consultation, and the doctor informed us about treatment and prescribed a medicine unavailable in Moscow. Thanks a lot to interpreters. Well-done! The doctor has made the horrible diagnosis has been incorrect. And there is only one disadvantage - we are waiting for medical record more than 2 months.
