"I have had nothing but exceptional care at First Med in Budapest. I am an Aussie who is traveling and needed medical care - the staff and my treating Doctor (who I saw twice) have been outstanding. Thanks so much to the team at First Med! I would highly recommend First Med."

"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!"

"FirstMed makes healthcare in Budapest easy. They are friendly, attentive, diligent and flexible. They offer all the services you'll need, they direct bill to Cigna and they are even available outside of normal business hours. I'm very glad that we chose them and highly recommend them to anyone, and particularly to English-speaking expats."

"We are deeply grateful to FirstMed for the care, kindness and support we received during one of the most frightening moments of our lives. We came with our 5-month-old baby, and from the very first moment we felt that we were in experienced, caring and truly trustworthy hands. Everything was handled so quickly, professionally and with such warmth that it made an enormous difference for us as parents. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Kiss, who not only helped us find the right doctor incredibly fast, but also supported us before and after our baby’s surgery. We are also so grateful to Ildi, the manager, for her kindness and constant support, to Dr. Veronika Boros, and to Dr. Hegedűs Magdolna for her attentiveness and professionalism during the ultrasound. What makes FirstMed truly special is not only the high level of medical care, but also the atmosphere, calm, kind, reassuring and deeply human. As foreigners living in Hungary, we were honestly touched by this experience. We highly recommend FirstMed to anyone looking for not only professional medical care, but also genuine human support. Thank you for treating us not just as patients, but as people. We will never forget your help."
