I wanted to share my experience of getting examined at this clinic. The clinic, by Montenegrin standards, is very good: with new medical equipment and professional doctors. Hence the five stars I'm giving, not wanting to ruin the rating. However, there was one nuance that I really didn't like, and I hope the people responsible for this clinic's policy will take it into account and adjust their attitude toward patients. I came with a problem of severe cough that appeared after a trip to Kazakhstan. Secondarily, I wanted to check my kidneys for stones. I gave blood, had a lung X-ray and kidney ultrasound. Actually, that was already sufficient to prescribe treatment. But unexpectedly, the doctor asked me to undergo another test: a CT scan with contrast. I'm far from medicine and didn't understand at first what it was. I thought I had some unique situation with my cough and the CT scan was needed for a deeper investigation of the cause of this problem. But in the end, it turned out that the main focus was on the pancreas and this test had nothing to do with investigating the causes of my cough. The clinic simply earned money from an unnecessary test. And that's deplorable. In regular clinics in Kazan, where we came from, this test is prescribed reluctantly and only when investigating the problem with CT provides more benefit than harm from undergoing it. And the harm of this procedure is significant: first, you receive a massive dose of radiation comparable to standing in the sun on a clear day for 40 months (I was given three glasses of iodinated water to drink beforehand); second, this procedure has many side effects (my right lung hurt afterward and it only passed a week later); third, it's a long procedure. We came with small children. We sat in the clinic for 5 hours, of which an hour and a half was spent on preparation for CT, performing CT, and waiting for the body's reaction after CT. The children were crying, eventually my wife started crying too. The doctors saw that I was with small children but talked me into an unnecessary and, most importantly, harmful (!!!) test. So my advice to everyone: when you go to a clinic, ask what test they're prescribing and how it contributes to understanding the causes of your problem. I hope the clinic will take my review into account and such misunderstandings won't happen again next time.
Reviews about A3 Medical
167PolyclinicHospital
Good day everyone!
I want to leave a review about the professional service at the A3 Medical clinic (Sutomore).
My visit to the clinic was related to acute lower back pain, tablets and ointments were no longer helping. I managed to get an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon the same day we contacted the reception.
Surgeon Aleksandr Vujičić carefully conducted the examination, listened (he speaks Serbian and English, a Russian-speaking interpreter was not needed, although, if necessary, this service can be used for free), immediately sent me for an X-ray (the most modern equipment!). After receiving the images (in two projections) the problem became clear, the doctor prescribed a treatment plan – a nerve block, intramuscular injections (3 days), then physiotherapy (10 sessions).
The doctor performed the nerve block immediately, there was no need to schedule separately or wait. After that it became much easier, the pain was gone. By the way, the operating room impressed with its cleanliness and tidiness (compared to other clinics in Montenegro).
For two weeks I came for injections (very attentive nurses), and then for physiotherapy – to Aleksandra, a wonderful professional in her field.
After completing the treatment I felt much better, on the recommendation of Aleksandr Vujičić I started doing physical therapy exercises on my own. Now nothing bothers me.
With gratitude I want to note the professionalism, promptness in service and decision-making, as well as the friendly and attentive attitude of the clinic staff toward patients, from the reception staff to the medical personnel and doctors.
I am very happy that such a great clinic exists in Montenegro, and right near us, in Sutomore.
If I or my family need help in the future, I will only turn to this clinic.
I'll add: the latest modern equipment, professional doctors, interpreters, even the interior design makes this clinic worthy of the best choice.
You feel that you are in reliable hands and that you will definitely be helped here.
Thank you!

I want to share my experience visiting the A3 Medical center. This is truly an amazing place where every patient feels safe and surrounded by attention. First of all, it's worth noting the excellent doctors working here. Every specialist in this hospital is a high-level professional who devotes maximum attention to each patient. What is especially important, the hospital is very conveniently located and easily accessible.
A3 Medical is equipped with the newest and most modern equipment, which allows all necessary examinations to be performed on site. The hospital has a laboratory where all tests can be done, and results are ready very quickly. This saves a lot of time and nerves. The clinic operates from early morning until late evening, allowing you to choose a convenient time for your visit. I'd like to separately note the good parking, which is also very convenient.
The hospital has a café with food and drinks where you can rest in the shade, which is a pleasant bonus. For Russian-speaking patients, free interpreter services are provided here, with interpreters always on site and ready to help. Many doctors partially speak Russian, and some are fully Russian-speaking, making communication and treatment more comfortable. Not only therapists work here, but also practicing surgeons and pediatricians, allowing many medical issues to be resolved in one place. The hospital has a very wide range of specialists, including internists.
Special attention is paid to patient comfort: comfortable chairs and couches for procedures, attentive staff. Appointments can be made online, by phone or through messengers, including in Russian. All test results and examination findings are provided both electronically and on paper. The hospital has X-ray, MRI, CT and ultrasound machines, which can be done in very short timeframes, and specialists who interpret results in understandable language. Prices are moderate, but the quality of services significantly exceeds expectations — the patient receives much more than what they pay for.
I especially want to highlight doctor Zorica, a pulmonologist, and her kind nurse. My father, who is over 70 years old, came to the hospital in an extremely serious condition with lung and heart edema and oxygen saturation at 60. Treatment lasted almost a month, of which two weeks were devoted to IV drips and constant therapy. Doctor Zorica remained available by phone throughout the entire day and night, fully tracked the treatment diary and checked the patient's condition every morning, providing consultations and adjusting treatment without the need for additional appointments. Such professionalism and compassion are not always found even in highly specialized and very expensive clinics. Doctor Zorica speaks Russian fairly well, which greatly facilitated communication, and an interpreter was always nearby just in case.
I would also like to note urologist Dmitry, who continues treating my father for other issues related to the kidneys. He is a Russian-speaking doctor who perfectly understands which local medications to prescribe. Communication with him is very easy and clear, which is important for elderly patients, especially in such delicate areas of personal health.
In general, the A3 Medical center is an ideal place for those seeking quality medical care, attentive treatment and comfort. We are grateful to the entire team for their care and professionalism!
We came with severe pain. Help was provided instantly, professionally, with great humanity and compassion. There was no feeling that they just wanted to take our money. There are Russian language interpreters who accompany every consultation. They are called when needed.
Many thanks to such a wonderful caring medical staff, and to the professional yet very humane approach of the doctors!
The first time we were at A3 was in winter, when our whole family had pneumonia. Only enthusiastic impressions of the doctors and nurses. Everything to the point, no over-diagnosis, very attentive care. And now I went to them for a check-up program — health screening. My impression hasn't been spoiled at all. Doctor Zorica and nurse Biljana are a real team that does everything to conduct the examination, tests, and give recommendations in the best possible way. I highly recommend it. Both for urgent cases and for regular health screenings too
I got pneumonia. At first I went to a pulmonologist in Herceg Novi. After 4 days of treatment following their recommendations it got worse. I turned to doctor Zorica Vukcevic. After her consultation and correct prescription of medications, within a week the complication passed and I felt much better. Thank you to the doctor for her smart and correct approach. She got me back on my feet. If only there were more such qualified specialists.
While traveling in Croatia, I caught a virus that affected me greatly. First examination and correct treatment at the hospital in Split. Ten days later, my condition worsened to the point of deciding to go to the nearest clinic in Sutomore, Montenegro. I was taken care of immediately and seen by doctor Zorica Vukcevic, pulmonologist, who after auscultation and thorough discussion, blood tests and X-ray, made her diagnosis and gave me a completely appropriate treatment. It has now been 3 days and I'm back in shape. A big thank you also to the nurses who were very kind and professional. Despite the language barrier, no issues with the reception staff who proved to be efficient.
This is a truly high-performing modern establishment at all levels. Highly recommended.
I ended up at the clinic completely by chance, I urgently needed surgical help. The appointment was conducted by doctor Dragoslav Tomanović. Having instantly assessed the situation, the doctor decided that surgical intervention was necessary. He performed the surgery, prescribed all the necessary treatment and tests. He always did the bandaging himself, monitoring the recovery process and making necessary adjustments to my treatment. Huge thanks to the clinic staff for their warm attitude and willingness to help. I especially want to thank the nurses and doctor Tomanović for his professionalism and personal approach to people. THANK YOU 🙏
I got pneumonia, visited two doctors in other places, and over two weeks it only got worse. Then I was recommended the A3 clinic and pulmonologist Zorica Vukcevic, thanks to whom I fully recovered in 6 days with the help of a professionally selected course of treatment. The team of the doctor and nurses showed a high level of attention and service. If anyone has problems with lungs and respiratory organs, then pulmonologist Zorica Vukcevic is without a doubt the best choice of a professional.
I want to congratulate the residents of Sutomore, the Bar municipality, and probably all of Montenegro, on the opening of the new medical center "A3". I cannot contain my emotions, I want to sincerely thank the entire team for the wonderful reception and the brilliantly performed operation at the end of February 2024.
The center itself embodies everything best in the medical trend. You can see the hand of Alexei Dudich, who put his soul into his creation down to the smallest details. Even trying to find fault with something in a biased way would hardly succeed. Pleasant surprises happen at every step.
The reception desk - a sincere desire to understand and help! And further everything is easy and simple, the protocol is followed precisely, professionally, quickly. The staff does their work with pleasure and good spirits. All preoperative tests in half an hour!!! Where have I seen this before? Nowhere! Although I've seen a lot. The interior is done so carefully and with such taste that the illusion of being in a brand new hotel appears, with pleasant, neat rooms instead of traditional wards. The equipment is state-of-the-art, brand new, the operating room is a fairy tale! Everything together creates a light and completely optimistic mood - everything will be fine! From the first words of communication with the maestro surgeon Dragoslav Tomanovic, you understand - you are in the reliable hands of a virtuoso of his profession! The nurses Lepa, Daniela are simply darlings! The price list for services at the center with such a high level of service is beyond competition, and with a flexible payment system at that.
My very best wishes and prosperity to the entire team of the A3 medical center, thank you!
