"hi, Jelenia,it is Rolando for the partial knee replacement i want to proceed with the matter.

"I went to Bona Dea for prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. I could have got it done in UK for free but they take too long, Bona Dea did it very quickly after I was tested and discussed with consultant Emin Mammadov, who carried out the prostatectomy surgery. The price was very reasonable. Most importantly, the treatment was successful, and I was doing my job, which is quite physical sometimes, 3 months later, with no diapers!! Emin's advise to remove the prostate, rather than get therapy, was the best idea...I have friends who still have after effects of therapy after 4 years. My PSA was <0.04 after 6 weeks, down from 21. The hospital is clean with modern equipment (although no robotic prostatectomy). The surgery after-care was caring, and I was out after 5 days. My wound is almost invisible now."
