I don't really write reviews but I had to regarding lokman hekim hospital. They were excellent from pick up from airport to dropping back off. Firstly I booked the Istanbul airport 50 min away when there was another airport 5 min drive from the hospital. The hospital said no problem. VIP transfer. I had two procedures done, both were done together by two different doctors. Both were excellent. One doctor even came to my room every day to change the bandages himself personally. I mean come on you cannot get better service than that. I would like to say a big thank you to staff nurses Sebnem and Esra, who looked after me during my recovery. To be honest, all the nurses were very nice but regretfully I didn't get the other nurses names. They really look after you and regularly come and check up on you. My translator Ismael was a gem, was very good and was only a txt or phone call away. My doctors, again I can't remember their names where excellent in advising me what would happen during surgery. Thank you everyone

I want to thank all the hospital staff for the great care and support I received — from the drivers, nurses, and admin team. Everyone was kind and helpful, and I really felt looked after during my stay. A special thank you to Ismail, Fatima, and Haroon for their extra support and kindness. Both of my operations were successful, and I truly appreciate the doctors who did them. I will definitely recommend this hospital to others for the excellent care and service. Thank you all so much!

I had rhinoplasty in this clinic in early September. It was the best decision I ever made. I liked absolutely everything: the organization, the transfer from the airport, the interpreter, my doctor, the modern ward, the attitude of the staff, the food, the hotel... The clinic took care of everything. I only had to buy tickets (although they helped me with that as well). I am very happy that I chose this clinic. The result is just incredible. Dreams come true.

Made my nose there in January. These pictures are from August. No pain at all, the nurses were super nice and my doctor (Dr. Salim Yüce) was really professional! Especially thanks to translator Olga for help.

My mother had vascular surgery at Lokman Hekim Istanbul Hospital she came from Chile to get treatments for her varicose veins. I wish to express my deep appreciation for the wonderful care my mother received at Hospital. Everyone from the nurses to the doctors everyone — was absolutely fantastic, professional, caring and outstanding. I can't say one negative thing about the Hospital, we received outstanding care throughout our stay and came home very happy … thank you to our coordinators Ismael and specially Burçin Yeleser for taking excellent care of us. She helped us with everything she took care of every single detail. I want to thank to the drivers and our fantastic nurse Esra. Doctor Sinan Göçer who performed the surgery was brilliant, he explained everything to us. He was very professional, patience and also very caring we couldn't be in better hands. I highly recommend this hospital for any one looking for a comfortable and honest place to get the best from there surgery. This place is filled of staff that are generally there to help you and most importantly make you feel so welcome with their hospitality. 💙 Thank you so much once again 🙏
