I had a rest in the sanatorium "Rodnik Altai" recently, in June 2016. I visited this sanatorium for the first time. I arrived in the morning at about 9.00. I was immediately struck by the wonderful air, I wanted to breathe and breathe, it wafted with forest and freshness. The receptionist offered to wait for the doorman to take him to the room. It took about 20 minutes to wait, then the porter carried the suitcase to the administrator of another building, after which he disappeared. I found the room myself, since the elevator delivered it there. The room is clean, comfortable, with a good repair, with a balcony and a view of the wooded mountain. Immediately offered to have breakfast, then called the room and invited to the doctor for an appointment. Medical procedures were prescribed. They have basic and wellness. You can take only 3 main ones, the rest are wellness, which includes drinking mineral water, an oxygen cocktail and physical education: Pilates, therapeutic exercises, walking on a terenkur, a swimming pool and baths. I did not choose all the wellness procedures as I should, since not everything is suitable for medical reasons. I tried to go to therapeutic gymnastics, but the gym is not ventilated, it's very hot there, I really felt bad. After talking with vacationers, I found out that many people quit going there because of stuffiness. When I called the sanatorium before the trip, I asked if there was a consultation with a rheumatologist, to which I received an answer that they had a cardiologist and a rheumatologist in one person in the sanatorium. When I arrived, I asked for this consultation from a therapist, I was told that a cardiologist is a cardiologist (as if I don’t understand this myself), but they don’t have a rheumatologist and instead they offered a consultation with an orthopedic traumatologist. I concluded that the girls answering questions on the phone are not entirely competent. All medical procedures are scheduled by the minute, everything is fine-tuned in this respect. The medical staff is polite, they make concessions if they are not satisfied with the schedule of procedures or the time. The menu in the sanatorium offers several types: basic, hypocaloric, vegetarian, lean, raw food. I wanted to choose a hypocaloric one, to which the dietitian in the dining room immediately advised me: “Choose the main one better. ”. I did just that, but the cardiologist prescribed me a hypocaloric menu, which I stayed on for 2 days, and not because I had few calories, but because I was very puzzled by this menu. For 2 days, boiled beets (last year's) were offered 4 times, and for breakfast I received 2 sausages with mashed potatoes. My claims were answered by a dietician that there is no nutritionist in the sanatorium, but calories are simply counted. As a result, I switched to the main menu, which was varied. . The partial buffet, which offered a variety of salads, suited me more. In general, the food was at a good level. I concluded that only the main menu has been worked out in the sanatorium, the rest is all for advertising. In terms of service, for some reason, on our table of 4 places, every day there was either confusion with orders or there were no cups for tea. But all this was quickly corrected. Walks can be carried out in the resort area, for this you need to go down the mountain, in the opposite direction, of course, climb. Of course, this is not suitable for everyone. There is also a terenkur, but first you need to climb a rather steep hill. Almost no one walks on the territory of the sanatorium, the territory is small. On the positive side, one can also note the care and maintenance of the territory: flower beds are planted with signs with the names of plants, cleanliness, comfort. In the halls inside the sanatorium there are comfortable sofas, TVs with cartoons and magnetic boards for children. Two summer pools, one of them heated. By the way, having walked around the entire resort area of ​ ​ Belokurikha, she noted that the pools in the Altai Spring are the largest. Leisure activities are offered daily for children and adults. Most excursions are paid. At the end of her stay in the sanatorium, she received an extract with recommendations and released procedures. To my surprise, having already arrived home, I discovered that I had undergone an express valeodiagnostic examination, which was not offered to me. I concluded that this was done for reporting cash. In general, the impression of the sanatorium is positive, despite the blunders and shortcomings.
