Reviews

The Scientific and Practical Center for Child Psychoneurology reviewed with positive assessments for much. The mothers who stayed in the inpatient ward with their children note the professionalism of the doctors and their extensive work experience, the excellent technical equipment of all departments and the sincere attitude of all the staff. There are hardly any children who are willingly treated, especially if the procedures are painful, but nurses and doctors always find kind words of consolation and treat with maximum effect. Almost all noted the cleanliness in the offices. The pedagogical collective was filled with gratitude for the organization of the educational process and fruitful leisure for the children.

Negative reviews refer to particulars - some patients did not like hospital food, the absence of a pediatrician, and the rudeness of some nurses. But in general, it is noted that the treatment provided in many ways brought either an improvement in the state, or recovery. Many patients after long ordeals only in SPC DP were able to get a diagnosis of their child's illness, find out the reasons for his appearance and start treatment procedures.
