Overall great value and service

5 50 Gastric Balloon • Paid: 1542 лв.

Great price and procedure. I travelled to Sofia where I was collected by a driver for a free transfer to the hospital which took around 1hr 20 mins. I was met by the co-ordinator who arranged for payment to be taken. I was taken to my private room which was clean with a private bathroom.

After bloods and heart check the doctors came to see me and took some history and explained the procedure. I was then taken to the theatre. It only took a short while until I was awake and beck in my room. I had an early flight so was back at the airport within 24 hours with another free transfer. Overall great value and service.

I was very well looked after by the doctor and his staff

5 50 Gastric Balloon • Paid: 1400 лв.

Had my balloon 5th November! Met Mr Tzvetkov a few weeks to discuss what my options were. I was very nervous on the day of the balloon but everyone was amazing. The procedure was nice and calm. I was very well looked after by the doctor and his staff. Aftercare brilliant too. Hospital nice and clean, staff lovely and friendly and the price was excellent! Best decision I made!

Would definitely recommend it to all

3.5 50 Gastric Balloon • Paid: 1954 лв.

Had a gastric balloon done here in early November and so far so good. The prices were very good and the doctor was quick to answer any questions or concerns I had.

He even discovered that I have a hernia which was good. Next time I don't think I would go by myself definitely take a companion with you. The staff was friendly but little English but it is in Bulgaria would definitely recommend it to all.
