Thank you First Med for your excellent services. Three weeks ago, I called the medical centre for an appointment and the official who received my call was not only so kind but I was pleasantly surprised that she was able to understand my problem.over the phone and which medical expert I needed to consult based on the information that I shared with her over the phone who was none other than. the orthopedic surgeon. The slots were fully booked but I got a Saturday appointment, 9am to be precise. I arrived 20 or so minutes to my appointment and found another very kind gentleman at the reception who took my details and provided me with the necessary guidance. The orthopedic surgeon arrived just in time and at exactly 9am I was attended to (good time management right there), based on the assessment he recommended an xray to make an informed decision (very professional of him to take logical steps). The official who took the xray was so kind and in less than 10 minutes, she had done her xray. I get back to the surgeon and the diagnosis was done, guidance provided and I'm following his advise to manage the fracture that didn't require surgery. Not to forget the official who checked me out. Yesterday, I requested for a medical certification from your reception email for the days I could not work. In a few days, I received an email that my medical note was ready! Dr. Bodnár signed it off for me. We clients only file complaints but forget to compliment for services well done. Thanks to your reception team for their support. Many thanks to all staff of FirstMed.You exceeded my expectations, keep it up!

Every visit has been a genuinely positive experience—everyone is kind, respectful, and incredibly patient. The high-quality medical care in English is invaluable, and it’s exactly why I keep coming back, even with a one-hour drive. Outstanding service, excellent care, and all at a very reasonable cost. Thank you!

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral?

At FirstMed, you do not need a referral to see an orthopedic specialist. You can schedule an appointment directly if you’re experiencing issues with your bones, joints, or muscles. However, for physical therapy services, you typically need a referral from a physician.

At FirstMed, a typical physical therapy session involves a comprehensive approach tailored to your individual needs. First, you will undergo an assessment in which one of our skilled therapists evaluates your condition and discusses your goals. Based on this evaluation, your personalized treatment plan will likely include specialized medical gymnastics to improve your strength, flexibility, and overall mobility.

In addition to traditional exercises, we also integrate advanced electrotherapies into our sessions. These may include innovative treatments such as soft laser therapy and shockwave therapy, aimed at promoting healing, reducing pain, and enhancing recovery. Our focus is on providing a holistic experience that supports your rehabilitation journey effectively and safely. We are committed to helping you regain function and improve your quality of life.
