Patient testimonials

I am 63 years old, I had a facijalis which is why I started with treatments in the barochamber. The treatment lasted for two weeks, but I felt a lot better after a week. The staff is very helpful and friendly, very kind. I highly recommend Polyclinic Marija to anyone who has such or a similar problem.

A.A. 63 years old

My legs are cold for years and with the first days of autumn I have to start to wear two layers of socks. After treatment in the chamber I feel that much warmer and it is November and I still wear only one pair of socks.

I.B. 68 years old, suffering from diabetes for 20 years

After the treatment in hyperbaric chamber my hands are no longer so cold, and my skin is softer, especially the fingers which I always had problems with.
