Calling Dr Simkas patients.........
Same for me...I think you can change that in the profile, but I was wondering what should choose and in end just left it - would not bother as on this international forum the chat is around the clock.acol wrote:The difference in time zones make it look like I'm going out at 4.15 in the morning. It is only 6.15 on Wednesday evening in England!
Here you are the basics of Katowice:acol wrote:I am still working out strategy regarding travel/flights/accommodation/duration of stay etc.

I received a letter from Dr S's office outlining a change to the previous arrangement...see below:
Katowice, 21 January 2010
Dear Sirs,
We kindly inform you that due to increased costs of medical insurance and costs of clinical researches, we have to change the price of Liberation Treatment (CCSVI) method. New price also includes transportation and part of accommodation costs during your stay in Poland. We have decided to cover non-medical areas with our assistance to increase performance of the Clinic and to shorten the waiting time for the procedure.
Since 25th January 2010 the costs will amount to:
6 900 euro : angioplasty with stenting – 1 stent (if more than one stent is placed, each additional stent costs 500 euro)
6 400 euro : angioplasty
The price includes:
Vascular surgeon/angiologist consultation
Color Doppler ultrasound examination
MRI examination
Endovascular procedure (angioplasty or stenting)
introductory consultation with the leading doctor
5-night stay in 4-star hotel (breakfast included)
Transportation to the examination and procedure facilities (Doppler, MRI, surgery)
Transportation from/to Pyrzowice (Katowice) or Balice (Kraków) Airport
EuroMedic personnel assist during your stay
telephone hot-line assistance
If for medical reasons angioplasty or stenting cannot be performed the package price amounts to:
2 700 euro : Full diagnostics with phlebography
1 800 euro : color Doppler ultrasound and MRI examination
Best regards,
Tomasz Ludyga
Director of EuroMedic
Specialist Clinics
It appears that Dr S is leaving the admin side of the treatment to others. There now is a Patient coordinator, Marta Cyba, and I believe her email is:
info@euromedicpoland.com Note that price now includes 5 nights hotel, transport to and from both Katowice and Krakow airports to the hotel, as well as to the medical facilities. Price has increased. I will be going Feb 10, so will give my observations on how things work out.

testing
I am so excited to hear that everyone is taking all of this testing into their own hands and getting the help they need. I am writing to you from Toronto Canada and things here are moving slowly, but were are researching everything and pushing for things to move quicker. Dr. Zamboni is doing a workshop in Hamilton for the medical community the first weekend of February 2010. Keeping our fingers crossed that this helps speed things up.
Good luck to everyone.
Good luck to everyone.
