I will be travelling to Straubing Germany in May to have multiple level ADR with Dr Bertagnoli. I was instructed to wire a deposit of 25,000 euro to an account at "Hellenic Bank Limited" of Cyprus.
Does anyone have any information on the wire transfer for surgery? I wanted to be sure this is legitimate before sending $32,000 to a bank in Cyprus. Rob

I also had to wire transfer money prior to surgery. I had mine in Austria and had to make one deposit in Austrian Bank and another in an Germany Bank both by different names. Dr.Bertagnoli name was on each account. I hope this helps. When you do wire transfer the money they (the bank) will have you verify the correct account and name on the account because they are not responsible for any errors so please be very careful.

Would an AMEX money order directly to the doctor do?

Its totally legit I had a 3 level ADR i/17/05
and I wired 30k US dollars and then 6000 more after I got back from Germany. I think the euro
MAY BE A little lower by a point or 2 but when you go to your bank,mine was wash mut. you can get a preferred rate if your wiring over 10k, so I would send my deposit with a 10 k bal so you will get the best rate with your bal owed. It's not a great savings but every bit helps when its coming out of your pocket.
Dr Bertagnoli was my Dr. and you are in the very best hands. any questions feel free to email me
Ill be more than happy to help you.

Rob,
I am also from CT and Dr Bertagnoli was my surgeon referred by Dr Yue. I went to Bogen last January. I also questioned the bank in Cyprus but I can tell you it is legit.
Good luck! At least it will be warm over there!
