Feedback from our Ukraine Crisis Care initiative using GPNow:
Patients have the opportunity to receive help online from highly qualified specialists!
From Kateryna:
Good afternoon, my name is Kateryna, I am 22 years old, I am from the occupied Ukrainian city of Melitopol, I am currently in Germany and I have a problem finding a good specialist in this country. Yana recommended GPNow to me, so I want to leave a review about the consultation with dermatologist Mandych. Â I am very grateful for the help, as I was consulted very competently, my questions regarding the side effects of the drugs were answered and a repeat consultation was scheduled in 2 weeks. I also want to leave a review about GPNow, a very good platform for communication between a doctor and a patient, it is good that patients have the opportunity to receive help online from highly qualified specialists!
It was especially helpful to get advice on how to ask doctors abroad
From Lesya:
I’m very grateful to this platform and personally to gastroenterologist Dr. Alhamad A.A. I consulted him 2.5 years ago, sent him my test results. He thoroughly studied my medical history, reviewed all my documents, told me which tests I needed to take, and how to adjust my medications and diet. It was especially helpful to get advice on how to ask doctors abroad to perform certain procedures, since they weren’t listening to me. Recently, I had more reasons to consult with him again to make sure I was doing everything right. My result: -35 kg, I feel great, the diabetes diagnosis has been removed, no more stress-related overeating, and my pancreas almost never bothers me anymore!
Thanks to our work, I started to return to life
From Anonymous:
At that time, I was in despair, literally begging for medication, but Ruslan, having extensive experience, believed in me more than I did myself. He very delicately and professionally convinced me that I had the resources to cope without medication. And he began to teach me, step by step, how to live on: how to react to anxiety, how to experience panic attacks, how not to run away from myself. His approach is not just knowledge but also attention, humanity, and deep understanding. He doesn’t lecture, he talks. He listens and hears. This is rare. Thanks to our work, I started to return to life: I left the house again, started taking photos (I couldn’t pick up a camera for a year), I meet friends, I travel — not over long distances, but for me it’s a huge step. Panic attacks are extremely rare and no longer cause such fear. I know how to survive them. And most importantly, I am no longer alone. Ruslan is always in touch, always helps in difficult moments, gives a sense of support. During this time, he has become, I will not be afraid of this word, like a dear person to me. I don’t know where I would be now if I hadn’t found him on gpnow.net. When I am asked how I got out of that terrible state, I proudly answer: I have the best doctor!
Now I can work and leave the house
From Svitlana:
I found the GPNow platform by chance. In such a difficult time, it is a very important support for Ukrainians. I live in a small village, where the only doctor is a family doctor, going to the city was not an option because of high anxiety and fear of leaving my house, so I started looking for a doctor online, that's how I came across your platform. I wrote to several doctors, Ruslan responded. The doctor conducted a consultation and prescribed medication. I have been taking medication for over a year, now I can work and leave the house, the doctor is always in touch, and I am grateful to him for that. I believe that such platforms and doctors save many people because not everyone has the opportunity to visit a doctor in a clinic.
Because of the war, I am in an extremely vulnerable position
From Yevgeny:
Yevgeny, 28 years old: Good afternoon. I would like to leave my review for the GPNow website.I have been using the website for 2 years. During this time, I have received consultations from a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and neurologist. I have had chronic depression for many years, I can not work, and because of the war, I am in an extremely vulnerable position. Without this project I would be left without support and treatment. Now I can at least somehow hold on and fight my condition, I have at least some support. I sincerely thank everyone who finances the project.
