    Thank you for the assessment. It helped me understand the condition of my knee. Based on it, I will be able to properly ask my doctor about the next steps.
    Thank you once again.

    Thank you for the report. It is thoroughly prepared, the response is clear and well-structured, and the recommendations are specific and to the point. It is of a very high standard.
    I truly hope that one day our hospitals will also reach this level of professionalism—not only from a medical perspective but especially in terms of human approach.
    Once again, thank you.

    The answer was really really prompt (less than a day) - which I'm very thankful for. The report was simple and extensive enough for me to understand (the doctor attached MRI photos with explanations as well). He explained simply the diagnosis and recommendations. THANK YOU!
