Patient Testimonials

Lakenya

Ireland

The highest praise for top class medical and surgical care from Dr Zapotoczny and his amazing team.

I am from Ireland and I was in a seriously bad situation, I was having infections every 2-3 weeks and antibiotics were not working. The pain was entirely unbearable and after a failed drain and pack surgery in Ireland that took me over 6 months to even slightly recover from, I knew I could not go through that operation again with such a low success rate.

I found Dr Zapotoczny’s clinic from researching on Google and it was the best decision I ever made in my life to go as soon as I possibly could. I travelled over to him with an active infected abcess, I was alone and in a lot of pain and had huge anxiety as I had never been to Poland before and I did not speak the language.

He was able to help me as soon as he saw me. As soon as I entered the clinic I felt safe and every single member of staff was so kind. My lack of Polish was never once an issue and I had the best medical care I have ever experienced.

The nurse present during my surgery was an angel who kept me not only calm but even managed to make me laugh. I can never thank any of you enough. The aftercare I received was once again world class. Even though I was alone in Poland I never once actually felt alone because I knew I had contact with Dr Zapotoczny and the clinic who showed such care, empathy and skill from the moment they met me. Every question answered with a logical answer in a way I could understand.

The clinic itself is beautiful, has impeccable hygiene and a relaxing and calm atmosphere. The recovery from surgery was great. I knew that like all surgery, there would be some pain and swelling but this pain was nothing compared to the constant pain I lived in before the cleft lift procedure which in turn made it very manageable for me.

It’s been about 4 months since my surgery. No infections, no pain other than some expected nerve pain here and there during the healing process. I can exercise, I can live a life again. I am not in constant fear of infections and antibiotics.

If you are struggling with this condition, I cannot recommend going here highly enough. You will be taken care of and whilst not everything in medicine is predictable I truly believe this is a team of experts who are looking out for the patient and striving for giving the patient the highest quality of life possible.
