Urology Clinics Europe

I found my treatment at the clinic to be first class the nurses were lovely and very helpful. I could find no faults at all with the care they provided.

Had a circumcision yesterday (age 57), and was back today for a control visit. Although early days, all is well and have every confidence of a good result. The team at Alara were all very professional and courteous and cannot fault the service.

I was concerned about Varicocele and messaged a couple of clinics and there I got the most prompt response and communication after that was great: we discussed all important details and planned the date of operation. When I arrived everything went very smoothly, Abdullah took great care and helped with every question. Dr Tuncay Taş was very professional and checked everything not only before the operation but also after it a few times. The operation went very smoothly, I didn’t have time to worry, and everything seems to be good for now :) I’ve rarely experienced such good service, it also included one night stay in a separate room and meals, highly recommend it!

I can highly recommend this clinic. Had a local anaesthetic and there was no pain at all, as the doctor added a 'buffer' to the injection. Shame the NHS can't do this. The staff are very friendly and the doctor was brilliant. Will definitely use it again if needed.

The Clinic was very professional and efficient and I got the treatment I wanted in Riga. Violeta was very helpful and responsive with communications.

It was a nice experience and went by much faster than I was expecting. I'm glad to have the procedure done and this clinic was reliable and put a lot of care into preventing any complications.

Having been stuck for months with a catheter as a result or BPH and moved from one NHS waiting list to another, I, out of curiosity, put a query into a website about getting the required procedure done abroad. I promptly received a reply from Nick Mertziotis to say that the operation the NHS and a private provider had said I needed was not recommended and he suggested a couple of others that were more appropriate and that he could do them for less than half the price private providers in the UK were looking for. He said I would be on the plane home two days after the operation. I looked him up and quickly realised he was a well-qualified, experienced and respected expert in his field. I asked a few further questions, all the time hoping an NHS appointment letter would arrive. He responded personally, promptly and helpfully to each of them. I checked out the various procedures available for my condition and became convinced that what he was suggesting was clinically optimal. He reassured me that he would do the surgery himself. Eventually, I decided to go for it. Surgery was booked for the following week and my wife and I booked flights and accommodation in Athens. We had a couple of days as tourists, then a thorough and efficient pre-op and the operation first thing the following morning. There was a full surgical team attached to me. After a few hours, I found myself back in the ward. By this stage, Mr Mertziotis had already called my wife and had arranged to meet with her to say the operation had gone well. For the following 24 hours I received very good nursing care in a small ward. Mr Mertziotis and his assistant doctor came in to see me the day of the operation and the following day and explained the procedure they had carried out, which, in the event, was a combination of two separate procedures, due to the nature of the obstruction. I was discharged after 24 hours and told to return the following day (a public holiday) to have the catheter removed. This happened, I was able to pee freely and after a final consultation with Mr Mertziotis, I was able to get on the plane home the following morning. Since getting the catheter removed, I have had no pain, including on the four-hour flight. I am home and feeling fine and am having to stop myself returning to normal activities too soon. Overall, while there were always ‘what if?’ worries about the enormity of the decision I had made, I felt throughout that I trusted Mr Mertziotis and his team and that trust has been entirely justified. I encountered the kind of medical intervention and care that I would like to think should be the norm but unfortunately wasn’t my experience in the NHS. While it is a big decision, for me it has been the right one and the experience was a very positive one. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Mertziotis and his team.

The overall treatment for prostate at Laser Medical Centre with dr Kalchev & Dr Kefilev was the best treatment I had in my whole life. I suffered with very enlalged prostate for 7 years in the UK with 6 years of catheterisation plus constant UTI that was treated with antibiotics that never worked. My life was all this time very uncomfortable. Fortunately, I found this clinic in Bulgaria through the internet and changed my whole life in 2 days. I came to Sofia they received me at the airport arranged a hotel for me next day I had all tests done and the following day I had the operation done in less than 2 days I was relieved from my constant suffering for so many years from the NHS. Apart from the medical team the staff is so helpful they arrange all the transport for you and the essential part they very human and fantastically organised very fast and very efficient. But what struck me most is their humanity, and I would like to thank so much Dr Kalchef and his team. I would strongly recommend this clinic especially for those with very enlarged prostate with Thulium laser resetting of the prostate. Many many thanks Loizos.
