I got an eye surgery about 6 weeks ago with Praga Medica. I´m very satisfied about the whole process, from the preparation to the medical stuff, the equipment and the assistance. I experienced no pains both during and after the surgery and the recovery went smoothly. The only point to improve are prices, which I find ultimately too high for a surgery in a country where salaries are a fraction of the ones in the Western European countries. Either than that, I would recommend Praga Medica to a friend.

From initial contact with the clinic to the procedure itself, the communication and care from Praga Medica was excellent. My contact, Blanka, was brilliant. She speaks perfect English and quickly responded to any enquiry by email or phone call. She was with me throughout the whole process, meeting me for appointments and showing me where to go. Gest clinic is in a residential area in Praha 5 and it has a lovely personal feel to it. It’s small, modern and clean with very friendly staff. Dr. Monika Polakova, was good at explaining the process and I especially like the fact that she concentrated on the positives rather than the negatives. We’re now waiting to find out if the treatment was successful. I would definitely recommend Praga Medica to anyone considering IVF in Prague.

Happy with medical professionalism, very comprehensive testing of my vision. No issues with treatment/ops, laser recommended, no pain.
Admin generally very good re payments, hotels, taxi and personal service from Katrina, in all a bargain buy when compared to UK and more effective and efficient and timely than NHS.
My only disappointment was my eyes were not suitable for full correction, so now need reading glasses, but distance vision clear and still adjusting. Maybe this ‘risk’ should be more clear in the literature, web site etc. but well worth exploring for eye ops and maybe other treatments they offer, even despite sterling rates fallen because of Brexit good deal and Prague is comparatively cheap place to stay, eat, shop etc

Breast lift + implants August 2020.

Booking process was quick and easy.
Arrived a day before surgery for tests – no issues.
Given all paperwork to read and sign.
Had a consultation with Dr.Pilka to discuss what size implants I wanted etc.
The consultation was quick however it’s because I knew what I wanted and had done my research, if you aren’t sure make sure you go over everything you want as dr pilka just wants you to be happy and is there to advise you.

Surgery day I was told to come in at 9am on an empty stomach and my surgery didn’t actually go ahead until about 2pm I would say this was one of the downfalls as I was left waiting starving for ages however not a major issue.

Woke up from surgery already In my room rather then a recovery room but again no issues, nurses attended straight away with some strong painkiller in a drip, dr.pilka was also there about 5 mins after I woke up checking and making sure that my breasts were fine, he did this about 3 times after surgery.

The only thing I was upset about is that I was extremely unwell from the anaesthetic and felt sick and was vomiting, my husband went to ask the nurse for some anti Sickness medication and she just said what was happening was normal, I know it’s normal but I needed something to help me stop feeling so sick. Anyway I didn’t get to have anything and the sickness went away the next day.

The next day
8am nurse came in with pills and breakfast, 8:30 Dr.Pilka came in took the bandages and drains off put a special bra on and gave me my discharge papers.

The nurses were very attentive and came in the night to ask if I needed help going to the toilet etc. Although I was in pain I was able to walk to the toilet myself so no issues there.

I had a little complication which is simply down to my body and nothing to do with how the surgery was done etc, Dr.pilka had me in everyday for check ups until I left to go back to the UK, I am still in close contact with lenka and dr.pilka.
Lenka has been amazing and has been there through the whole thing and even after.

I completed trusted dr.pilka who is an experienced and board certified surgeon and he did not disappoint me.

My outcome after surgery has been life changing and dr.pilka has completely transformed my breasts into something amazing.

I will be looking to change my implants to a bigger size in the next 5 years and I will 100% be going back to him again.

Had a good experience, the staff where very helpful and the service was very professional.

However I had to give 4 stars, because I had informed sales team I had previously PRK laser surgery performed and would like SMILE to be performed. They had written down I had performed LASIK instead.
This mistake meant I had to perform PRK (which takes a lot longer to recover from) even though I was advised LASIK would be carried out something I had not planned or prepared for.

The healing process has been good in left eye but only satisfactory in my right eye further contributing to my reason for dropping a star.

All that being said I do strongly recommend.

I had Relex Smile eye surgery, and I’m happy with the result.

The surgery itself was more uncomfortable than I had expected based on other people’s descriptions of their experiences. The communication just before and during the surgery felt a bit rushed, which may be an effect of the sedative drugs. I didn’t manage to insist on understanding what exactly was going to happen, and so I felt uncertain about what to do and where to look. This (I think) resulted in the surgeon having to redo the placement of the laser on one eye, leading to discomfort, a rather blurry vision and a bit of anxiety for the next few days. At my one week check-up, it turned out I had 1,0 vision on that eye and 1,2 on the other. Objectively that’s a great result, and now after a few weeks it’s not much of an issue anymore. But it is a noticable difference. I still experience scattering and halos at low light conditions on the left eye, and I can’t help but wonder whether that would have been the case if I’d had a better understanding of what to do during the surgery. I haven’t really heard of anyone else having this issue, so maybe it’s just me. But personally I would have liked to get instructions about what to do during the surgery before taking the sedative drugs. Additionally, I had a different surgeon than I was originally told I would have. Of course, both surgeons are very experienced, but one has done many more surgeries than the other. I was happy about the prospect of my surgery being done by the more experienced surgeon, but that turned out not to be the case after all.

That being said, the rest of the experience was unproblematic. Everyone at the clinic was nice, communication before the visit was impeccable and the result is good. There was a 40 minute wait for some of my appointments, but most were much shorter.
Overall I’m satisfied with the experience. Still, I think the issues I had could have been avoided without much extra effort from the clinic.

I was a bit nervous as I’m from the uk but Lenka was very nice and welcoming she helped me book flights/hotel etc. The hospital is very big and proper I didn’t know if it would be small or what to expect. I had a tummy tuck and liposuction all went well no problems after the only thing was the nurses when I stayed 2 nights in the hospital didn’t speak much English and I didn’t have any good painkillers but other than that it was a good Experiance and glad I done it here as I’ve had great results. It’s been 8 months since my surgery and am very happy with the results i would recommend coming here for surgery if you was looking somehere other than the uk.

After 3 years of TTC and unsuccessful Clomid/IUIs, we decided to move on to IVF. This was our first IVF and we decided to go with GEST because of the reviews. From the very first email the responsiveness and communication was great and timely. The transport package option was very helpful since it allowed me to focus on other things rather than getting to and from the airport in a foreign country and communicating with the office. I was always made to feel very welcome whenever I visited the facility and all the doctors I interacted with were very professional.
