Hi Puma,

I'm not sure which one is better. But I know Simka is very active in the CCSVI community and has lots of experience.

In addition to judging by experience, I would suggest going to your nearest vascular expert. If you are based in Europe, then Polish and a few other european clinics are a good posibility. If you are in North America there are good clinics there, the Hubbard foundation as well.

If you have to travel 15 hours on a plane to see your doctor, how often will you have your follow ups? What if after angio you develop a blood clot, or think you have restenosed. Going local or to the nearest vascular expert is the best option.

I could not get treated in the UK. So I had to travel 3 hours on a plane to see my vascular doc. That is as local as it gets for me.

Kindly,
Rox

I believe that Rici is going for a second try at valve reconstruction soon. I have not exchanged e-mails with him for a while (I've been up to my neck in narwhals), so that is just a guess.

Hi Puma,

I have seen how both of those clinics operate. Euromedic is definitely more experienced, they have started earlier dealing with CCSVI, however in terms of patient experience Ameds was much more professional.
Unfortunately Euromedic does not have all the examination at one place so you would have to be prepared to travel to different locations for ultrasound, MRV, eye-exam and the procedure itself, whereas Ameds has all the services in one hospital. Of course Euromedic arrange all the transfers for foreign patients so maybe it is not such a big deal.
Moreover, all personnel at Ameds speaks English and I have heard that in Euromedic nurses do not (however, I did not check it because I am Polish).

Don't get me wrong I have nothing against Euromedic, people are nice there, everything is ok but my personal patient experience at Ameds was much better. I had more time with docs and could discuss all my questions, I didnt feel like everything is in the hurry, I didnt have to wait for 2 hours for my pre-scheduled appointment. Those are the details, but they influence my opinion.

Wish you luck with the choice
