"Nothing they have on their website is true. MRI costs 12000 CZK instead of 1900 as it written on the website 😃"

"After reviewing the altoa webpage, I called asking for a tomography (CT) appointment and the lady who picked up the phone told me that she didn't know what a tomography was and that she has to find it in Czech. Funny enough, it is almost the same word in English and in Czech (tomography vs. tomografie). This told me immediately me that the staff is not properly trained, so I won't risk a medical examination here."

"I would like to personally thank Klara Jilkova for an absolutely amazing service and help. She managed to get us a last minute urgent appointment for the CT scan of the lungs, whilst all providers and medical services in Prague declined to do so. Klara went extra mile and was personally assisting and being there for us. Thank you very much! I would definitely recommend this company!"
