What brought you to AGEL Bratislava? Was it an injury or another health issue?
I had my first surgery on my left knee 23 years ago due to long-term cartilage damage. This summer, the pain resurfaced, and my condition worsened to the point where I could no longer function fully. An MRI revealed that another procedure was necessary. Based on recommendations from friends, I decided to turn to AGEL Bratislava and Dr. Maják, who has been a tremendous help.

How did your recovery progress? Did you start rehabilitation immediately?
After the surgery, there was, of course, some time for recovery. The knee is a living structure, so there were swelling and minor issues. About a week after the procedure, I started visiting the rehabilitation department at AGEL Hospital Bratislava, where they took excellent care of me.

What treatments are you currently undergoing?
I’m receiving several therapies, including cryotherapy, magnetotherapy, laser treatment, Rebox therapy, and traditional exercises with a therapist. Each of these treatments plays a significant role in moving me closer to recovery.

Do you have a favorite therapy, or is there something you don’t particularly enjoy?
I’ll admit I’m not the kind of person who can just sit still. For example, magnetotherapy takes 20 minutes, and being without my phone, especially as a manager, is challenging. But I approach it with a smile and stay disciplined because I know it’s for my benefit. Overall, the people here are amazing, and the atmosphere heals not just the body but also the mind.

How would you rate the staff’s approach and the overall care at the hospital?
From the first contact, I’ve only had positive experiences. Whether it’s the doctors, nurses, or therapists, they are all professionals with a human touch. Facing a health problem naturally brings a sense of apprehension, but here I feel calm and in good hands. Mental well-being is very important in treatment, and I truly don’t lack it here.

Would you recommend AGEL Hospital Bratislava to your friends and acquaintances?
Absolutely. I am extremely satisfied not only with the professional approach of the staff but also with the atmosphere they create. You feel comfort, safety, and genuine care for the patient. On top of that, the environment here is beautiful and very pleasant. I think that’s exactly what one needs when dealing with a health problem.
