Liv Bona Dea Hospital in Baku, Azerbaijan reviews
The doctors and nurses at Bona Dea Baku are very reliable, respectful, caring, and friendly. My father would not be alive today if it had not been for the excellent care he received, and the appropriate medical decisions made during his serious illness.
Dr. Elqun Samedov, General surgeon, and his excellent team deserve a special thank you for their prompt response to my father's health concerns. Thank you for your kindness and care shown to my father. I am deeply grateful.

I had an issue in my right eye while I was in the airplane.. it was very red and feeling like there is a sharp object inside.. I booked an appointment before I went there. The receptionists were very helpful.. they even help me with translating in the examination room. The doctor was excellent and she speaks English.. she treated my eye instantly and I left her room feeling perfectly fine. The Hospital waiting area looks gorgeous and clean. I totally recommend it.

Firstly,the hospital looks like hotel more than hospital and it is good for patients to feel less stress for their illness. Secondly,unlike other hospitals in Baku this hospital is clean and there is a praying room for muslim and non muslim patients and guests,I and my family members liked this feature.
