Hey RoxanneLo

Welcome to the forum. As a new member myself I am not best placed to help answer your question but thought I would say hi anyway.

Of note to everyone. I spoke with my Chiro the other day. If anyone needs MRI scans, there is a private place in Cheltenham that will do them for around 200 GB Pounds, including a report. I'll get the details in the next few weeks and post them on here (in case anyone is having difficulty obtaining MRI imagery).

prices for bulgaria

Post by caraboo »

hi folks,


I dont no how you feel about this but it is concerning the prices for Bulgaria. What concerns me is for all the scans and tests, they want 3000euros. I think this is awful pricey considering the fact that I might have to walk after that with no stenoius. They say its for the tests and hospitalisation, but if you end up only have scans ect and no treatment ,you would nothave to stay in hopspital. That alot of money compared to elsewhere. Let me know what u think, I think I might e-mail them and express this. I wonder if they have the e-mail mixed up ie 2000 euros for scans and 3000euros for procedure.



Take care

Hi Karen,

I think the pricing is fine. I had a quote from AMEDS and theirs was the exact same as Grozdinski. I don't think you'll find cheaper prices. To my knowledge they are pretty much the same. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This is what Grozdinski sent to me......

The total cost of the hospital treatment and the performing of all procedures for diagnostics will be 3,000 euro. The treatment with balloon dilatation and stent – total cost – 5000 euro.

Ok, I got my date as well. Although... I'm not sure which day it is

The confirmation says: .7.06.2010 - is that July 6th or June 7th? Too many people switch the month/day indiscriminately...

Asked for clarification - either way it's a relief to actually have some action.

Jaguar that is June 6, mine said 11.06.2010 which is June 11. They haven't given July dates yet. I have to change mine due to family issues.

I'm wondering about the same thing, mine also says 07.06.10. I think it's June. The first email he sent to me did say on the waiting list for June, but it won't hurt to confirm.

I had to email and ask to be put on the July list because my husband farms and I teach. That is a busy time for farmers and teachers. We usually go on a family holiday in July but I will go to Bulgaria instead. I hope all of you have success. Post when you return.

Thanks so much for your reply!

I emailed Dr. Simka and hope I can get an appointment with him in Poland but if Bulgaria proves successful well then I'll take whatever comes first!!

Awaiting the details of your journey! All the best!

So, I guess 07.06.10 is June 7, 2010?

That's really cool that 3 of us are from Montreal.

Hi Jaquar,
