September 2016Right from the first contact with Martina I had a good feeling about choosing Gynem for our Fertility treatment. All my emails received quick and informative responses. The doctors were very professional and helpful. The clinic was very modern and immaculate. We had previously had two failed IVF attempts in the UK and only had one fair quality embryo to transfer on each failed attempt. The result from our treatment at Gynem was far better than we could have imagined, resulting in 6 good quality blastocysts. We also had an amazing time in Prague as there were so many things to do to fill our days in between when we had to be at the clinic. The fact that we got to enjoy a holiday at the same time really helped take the stress out of our treatment and I felt so calm throughout the whole process. We are currently waiting to find out if this cycle has worked but whatever the outcome I would definitely use Gynem again and would recommend them to anyone I knew that was considering fertility treatment.

September 2016I have recently had treatment at Gynem Clinic in Prague from the initial contact, visit and treatment the communication has been excellent. My co ordinator Martina has always been prompt in her replies and been able to reassure me. The clinic itself is brand new and to a very high standard. I chose the clinic due to waiting times, medication included and location. Although I had a chemical pregnancy I would not hesitate and will use the clinic again in the future.

September 2016I am very satisfied with Medical Travel and my trip to Praha was without any problems.
I chose the clinic because I could stay there for two nights and got medical care all the time. The price for surgery abroad was also important, but most of all the care. I was not aware that you have some of the best face-doctors in Europe, so I was just lucky with my choose.
I felt I had personal contact with the clinic through Alena - and that is very important before choosing clinic. She emailed my quickly and often and answered all my questions before my treatment.
Dr. Vasek is a safe and very professional doctor. I relied on him immediately.
I stayed at a miserable hotel/hostel the night before my surgery because I didn’t know the city. It would have been better if the clinic had chosen a hotel for me - to get a minimum standard. I stayed two more days at another hotel in Praha after the operation. I could have flied home to Norway the same day or the day after. The last two days was a bit boring and not necessary to stay in Praha. You just want to go home and rest after the surgery.
My stiches and face were quickly repaired and I never had any pains (dropped the "pain killers"). I can recommend the clinic, I am very happy with my decision to go to Praha and my new face!!

September 2016I would highly recommend the Brandeis clinic and doctor Musilova all nurses and staff I could not fault them very friendly, kind and helpful which made my operation and stay in Prague good. I'm very pleased with the outcome of my breast reduction I had a lovely time whilst in Prague. Thank you for all your help, there is nothing I would change as all went well thanks to all the team at Brandeis clinic!

August 2016I really enjoyed meeting you and your company was very comforting while waiting for the surgery. I would give my experience a 10/10 for both Medical travel CZ, the Brandeis clinic, its employees and the experience itself. Everyone was so nice and patient and working up to the surgery, all questions were answered very clearly. During my stay, all employees made sure I was comfortable and it made everything a lot less scary. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
One thing I would change is the pick-up service on the day of the surgery. Although it was lovely and comforting to be picked up, I think it would make more sense to bring the clients home/to the hotel after the surgery as they may be in great discomfort at that time.
Thank you once more for all your help and time. I wish you a lovely day.

August 2016We were very much impressed about the clinic and the staff in general. The environment is very clean and serene, doctors and all the nurse/co-ordinators we met were very helpful, patient and understanding, and above all, honest. We really admire the smiling faces you always wore. We'll definitely recommend Gynem to anyone who wishes to have IVF treatment abroad.
NB: This is trully from our heart.

August 2016My wife was interested in having breast replacement implants and was keen to have done in Prague as she'd heard good reviews from other people. We searched online and found medical travel czech republic services. We were contacted by Tereza and told of the various options available to my wife. She was given all the available doctors details and offered available dates to suit. Once we'd settled on a date and doctor, Tereza recommended various hotels close to the surgery. We booked the flights and accommodation ready. Once we arrived at the airport we couldn't find the rep picking us up, so got a taxi. 5 minutes after we left the airport we received a call from the rep asking where we were so we'd unluckily not found each other. We were put at ease from this call, knowing we'd missed each other rather than them not turning up! The next morning we met Tereza at our hotel to go to the clinic. She was a great person and very helpful with anything we wanted to know about Prague. We went to the clinic and my wife had all the blood tests done before her consultation with Dr Kuchar. As my wife had implants done 11 years ago in Thailand they had started going a little mis shaped and needed replacing, hence our visit to Prague. The Dr wasn't particularly helpful and said my wife had a hernia in the left breast implant which needed to be left for 5 years?? This all seemed strange and we thought was not right as they had a lifetime of 10 years. We told Tereza what the Dr said and she was very apologetic about the whole situation and said she'd try to arrange a consultation with another Dr. We said not to worry as it was not her fault and we just thought the Dr didn't want to perform the operation as it involved removing the old implants. We wouldn't recommend this Dr Kuchar. Tereza went away and set up another consultation with Dr Samudovsky who we went along to see and there was no problem and he'd be able to do the operation on my wife. This must've been fate that she ended up with this Dr as the operation went brilliantly and we couldn't be happier with the result. It was in a private clinic which was very clean with a nurse on hand 24 hours always checking my wife was ok.We were leaving for the airport at 3.30am the day after the op and Dr Samudovsky made the effort to make sure everything was ok at such an early time in the morning and Tereza arranged and paid for our transfer to the airport as a good will gesture for us missing our pick up at the airport. Although we encountered a few mishaps on our trip, we'd rate the service from Tereza as 5 Stars from everything she did to arrange things when we were in the UK and during our stay in Prague! Thanks for all your help and we'd highly recommend the company and Tereza to any friends etc that are interested in going to Prague for surgery.

August 2016I would like to thank you for the service you provided in Prague. I was very satisfied with everything and I was delighted meeting your colleague Richard. He was such a nice and friendly guy and I'm honestly grateful from the both of you. I will recommend your service as I am very happy with the outcome of it all. I appreciate it all. My mum was also very satisfied with everything and mentioned she was thankful for you helping her out the the gynachologist.

August 2016Richard made my trip to Prague stress free. Absolutely fantastic service, I felt very well looked after. I would highly recommend using the Medical Travel agency. We were accompanied to all appointments, it was so useful to have Richard with us as we don't speak the Czech language. Lovely guy. The clinic was superb, nurses all lovely and caring, Dr Musilova is very caring and explained everything thoroughly. Would definitely return for any future surgery. Very pleased with my surgery.

July 2016After two failed attempts at IVF in our home country, a colleague introduced me to the idea of travelling to Prague for IVF. Her friend had undergone treatment in Prague and she felt that the experience she had there was a more helpful and informative one than that at home. After contacting a number of agents for clinics, my husband and I made contact with Medical Travel. They stood out above the rest for us from the onset. Both agents that we dealt with throughout the experience – Barbora and Richard – couldn’t have been more helpful or resourceful and were always available to find answers to our queries efficiently and in a timely manner – all this counts when you are going through such a terribly emotional and personal journey. What won us over was the fact that a Skype call was offered and arranged for us to talk with a member of the medical team at the clinic they liaised with. This allowed us to relay a lot of the fears and concerns we had about the treatment in advance of any commitment to treatment and it helped to assure us that the decision to undergo treatment abroad was the right choice for us. When we got to the clinic, Richard personally met with us and facilitated our engagement and interaction with the admin and medical teams. The experience was as painless and effortless as it could be on our part - given the circumstances. It also helped to have the process explained to us as we went through each stage. We attended Gynem Clinic in Prague. The clinic was a new, purpose built and extremely clean and modern facility with an excellent medical staff team. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better or higher class service than that which we received from Medical Travel and the Gynem Clinic. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Medical Travel to a couple who should find themselves in similar situation to us. I’d score the service we received 10/10 – top class!
Anne, UK - Permalip

July 2016I came across this procedure by accident, I had recently other procedure and it made me think about also getting my lips enhanced. Whilst researching fillers I came across the permalip procedure, I really liked the idea that it was permanent & that regular painful & costly top ups would not be needed.
I had breast implants abroad 4 yrs ago and had a really good experience so I started looking at clinics in Europe that offered Permalip.
I chose a clinic in Prague and booked flights & a hotel.
The clinic was outstanding in every way.
I had a consultation the day before the procedure. I was picked up in a taxi at my hotel & taken to the clinic. My first impressions of the clinic were that it was immaculately clean, modern & welcoming.
A very kind & professional nurse gently took a variety of bloods & checked me over. I then had a consultation with the surgeon during which all my questions were answered, there was no rush. I was given lots of info & consent forms to take away, read & sign. We discussed size, he felt small would be better but I pushed for 5 lower & 4 upper as I was aware that the biggest complaint following this procedure is that the effect is too subtle, he said he had all sizes, togo away and have a think about it & tell him my decision in the morning.
He explained that I would meet the anaethetist in the morning & that she is a consultant, formerly head of a huge hospital & speaks fluent English.
The following morning I arrived to the clinic at 8am by taxi. The nurse showed me into a private hospital room where there was a gown, stockings & fluffy white slippers laid out for me. She helped me into the gown etc then made me comfortable on the bed. The room was absolutely lovely, a proper hospital bed & room with all the equip but painted lilac with a big soft white duvet on the bed. The hospital gown was crisp, fresh & new as were the slippers.
The anaethetist came in to meet me and she was absolutely lovely, very jolly, professional & reassuring. I explained to her that I was a scaredy cat - literally have no pain threshold, scared of needles etc. This is a little ironic as I'm a trauma nurse in Accident & Emergency. I work in a major trauma centre with a helicopter so Im regularly involved in some of the goriest stuff imaginable - code reds etc as well as day to day stuff like taking bloods, suturing. Im fine doing all these things but literally faint if I have my own bloods taken. I can only compare it to car sickness - if someones driving they are fine but if they're in the back/observing they feel wretched. Anyway the anaethetist was very understanding, she said she wasnt great with pain/needles herself. She explained what would happen (ie she would put a cannula then admininster anaesthetic) The nurse gave me a pre med, then I had a nice little mini snooze on my bed. Shortly after I was taken to the operating room, everyone was so nice & reassuring, the surgeon gave my hand a little squeeze & smiled. The anaethetist was chatty & smiling, asked me if it felt odd being a patient (which it did!) They then put the cannula in & administered the anaesthetic. I don't remember anything after that until I woke up in the room with avery sweet nurse looking after me.
I had a bag of hartmans infusing through my cannula, she also administered pain relief intravenously. She regularly put cold compresses which was so nice as I just dozed. My pain and comfort was so well managed. The nurse looked after me in my private room for 5 hours post op, helping me to the toilet, giving me water & topping up my pain relief. She was an absolute angel. She even dressed me when it was time to go & called me a cab. I had no pain, no bruising & minimal swelling and I can only put this down to the outstanding care I received.
I'll pop some photos up, I had the procedure on Thurs at 8am its now Sunday afternoon. I have no bruising, minimal swelling & my lips are starting to look gorgeous.
The only thing I would say is the cost worked out quite expensive in the end. I was quoted £2000 to have the procedure done by Dr NG in Harley Street. I paid 1500 euro in Prague, which once flights & hotel etc were added came to almost the same. However I had a few fabulous days in Prague, went on river cruises & saw The Proms - also the level of care - consultant anaethetist, private room, private nurse, all the meds - was simply outstanding.
Dr Samudovsky - Outstanding. The Nurse, the Anaethetist & the Surgeon were all professional, warm & gentle. Wonderful care.

July 2016My name i Elisabetta. I am Italian and I live in Norway With my husband Christian who is Norwegian. They say the third time is a charm. It certainly was for me and my husband since I got pregnant thanks to the Third try with egg donation: our litt le angel Adrian was born on the 6th of this month. The most precious gift for us to get for our wedding anniversary. The doctors and nurses, the whole staff at Gynem are superbly qualified and nice and empathic and took great care of us. And the client representative who assisted us gave us the best assistance ever. Great quality and great prices. I definitely recommend Gymen to whoever needs fertility treatments. It's definitely worth it.

July 2016It was after a year when we realised that we may not be the lucky ones to have a baby naturally, we therefore thought of turning to IVF. Immediately after deciding to go down the route of IVF, it was apparent that it is very stressful task from wh ere, how and who. These are the questions which naturally are very stressful. I contacted several clinics in Spain, India and Czech. The experience from clinics in India was particularly poor with no or very little response. Spain was quite expensive and it was not a good option as IVF in the UK would have cost almost the same. We than contacted Richard via email. He was extremely professional in getting back to us within matter of hours. He explained us the complete process and answered all our questions very carefully and took his time in making sure we were satisfied. After having satisfied we decide to go to GYNEM via Richard. The whole experience was stress free. My wife decided to travel to the clinic for first appointment and had face to face meeting with the doctor and Richard was present all during the process (including airport pickup). The medicine were posted to the UK and it was all very simple on how to use the medicine (with some help from YouTube). And we than arrived for the main process and decided to take a holiday in Prague and have the IVF done. The entire Medical process was very smooth. Perfectly timed. And I must mention that Gynem clinics is way better that our NHS hospitals. Very clean(spotless). Staff speaks English so we didn't had any communication issue. The doctor , embryologist and nurses did brilliant jobs. We are now expecting our first baby in January 2017 into 3 months of pregnancy. I would like to thank Richard, team at medical travel,doctors and nurses at GYNEM for wonderful work.

June 2016I would highly recommend Gynem clinic. My husband and I live in Prague but we are both English speakers and so our co-ordinator to book our appointments and to answer any questions we had between appointments. From the very first communication over email and phone, coordinator was friendly, helpful and supportive and we really felt that she couldn’t do enough for us. When we went for our appointments there was a lovely warm reception for us and every single receptionist, nurse and doctor that we met were all very professional and caring, we really can’t fault the service they provide. We felt we weren’t just another couple but that they took an individual approach to our treatment and were extremely thorough in explaining all treatments in detail and answering all of our questions. The positive experience that we had with Gynem made the treatments so straight forward and took away a lot of anxiety and stress that we had been feeling prior to starting with them. I believe that this relaxed atmosphere helped with our treatment and we are now 13 weeks pregnant!!!

June 2016Yes all went well with the procedure but I didn't enjoy being awake for it, I would recommend a general anaesthetic to others. I think being picked up from the airport and you meeting me the next morning really helps take the stress away whenarriving in another country and not knowing where you need to go so definitely keep this up. After the operation you just want to lie down and relax so for me to have to walk through Prague to my hotel especially while my eyes were streaming was frustrating so I think a night in the hospital would be a really good idea. I found the hospital immaculately clean, and all the staff there very professional and friendly. It was very important that I understood the staff at the hospital so the fact that they spoke good English was great. Dr Vasek explained things very thoroughly to me but I wasn't expecting to be so swollen and bruised as I am so I think this is something that could be explained too so people don't worry if it happens. So I would definitely recommend your company and the hospital to others. Obviously it's too early to say how well the procedure has worked but I will keep you posted. Thank you for all your help and your quick responses to my many emails.

June 2016It was such an easy process working with all of you at the clinic. Recovery has not been difficult since I left the clinic. I think the only thing I would have changed is that I wish I had more encouragement from the surgeon to test a larger size that is good for my body type. I feel like I could have gone another size up so I may consider a larger size in the future, but I still do like the results. Thank you !

June 2016We are both felling a bit battered and bruised from the surgery we had done , but that was to be expected , we are more than happy with the way everything went with the travelling to prague and the correspondents we had via email which made bookin g so much easier . The clinic was spotless and caring and the surgeon was good at explaining what was going to happen , the one negative would be we were there for 5 days after surgery it would have been good to have a follow up check up so we could see if everything was okay . Obviously from a heeling point of view different people heal quicker we are both still heavily swollen and bruised but getting through. I think if i was to do it again one night away from your own comfortable home is enough being away from home does make the healing a little bit harder . Hopefully now were back home this process will quicken . And we hope the results are good in a few months after all settles back to normal. We would both recommend your service and the clinic we will give other feedback when we see the results shortly . Thanks again Tereza for you kind emails..
