One of the most pleasant surprises was how TAMC https://tamc.co.il/ thought through every little detail for the patient. They explained to me in advance where to stay, how to get to the clinic, and what documents to take with me. No stress - neither during the preparation stage, nor upon arrival. All consultations were strictly on schedule, without waiting in the corridor. Even the food was selected taking into account my restrictions - this would seem to be a small thing, but when you are in a foreign country, such details are especially important. I felt that I was in the right place, where everything was aimed at my recovery, and this feeling did not leave me for a minute. This attitude instills confidence, which I really lacked before the trip.
I like this podcast but the host sounds like she's recording in a bathroom and her voice tends to get on my nerves.
