Choosing this clinic was one of my best decisions!
Breast augmentation was as comfortable as possible.
A professional doctor with an appropriate approach helped me in everything. Clinic, hotel, service / everything at the highest level.
It is very convenient that they organize a transfer. Special thanks to the assistants - the girls answer my questions 24/7 and are very concerned.
I wish you success and hope 🤞 see you in the future 😉

The entire process has been so positive
The entire process has been so positive. I had a tummy tuck, breast procedure, and liposuction on two areas. The clinic staff has been great about staying in touch and are always easy to reach, which is reassuring. There were no surprise costs; the only extra was for optional lymph massages, which was explained from the beginning. My advice is to really research the recovery period. Make sure you bring larger clothes than you think you’ll need and be prepared for drains.
Fantastic results, Dr. Ali Sadioglu very thorough, coordinators easy to contact at any hour, always someone present who can speak English, great nursing care, hotel was nice and clean, food was good, everything was arranged for me, very smooth process. I had my own English speaking nurse on my first night post op.

I would give 5 stars to Dr Ali
I would give 5 starts to Dr Ali. I was having problems that the doctor had no control over. Anesthesia was not sufficient as I woke up in excruciating pain. Nursing care at the hospital was inconsistent and at times subpar. Also, $500 was stolen from the safe at Antwell hotel.

I can confidently say that I am satisfied with everything. Starting from the welcome at the airport, the hotel, the attention and care of the staff, thanks to Elif, Elita, Defne, all of them were eager to help me and make my stay at the clinic as comfortable as possible, I would also like to mention the professionalism of Dr Safa, who listened to all my wishes, to whom I could trust and got the best result, he did better than I expected! I was helped even when I forgot my passport at the hotel on the way to the airport...the whole team reacted and was able to help me! I am very grateful and had my first best experience with my mamoplasty at this clinic, thank you!

I was so impressed with how every little detail of my visit was meticulously dealt with by Defe
I was so impressed with how every little detail of my visit was meticulously dealt with by Defe.
From the moment I got off the plane EVERY small detail was taken care of. From my limo pick up just for myself to the hotel (a 5*+ hotel at least). Check in then hospital Dr Ali was such an expert and explained everything before my operation and made sure I knew exactly what was going to happen.After the operation I had the ultimate first class care and attention and had my very own night nurse from 20:00 until 08:00 for both evenings in hospital. My limo was waiting to take me back to the hotel where I had a 24 hour infirmary clinic. I also had a nurse that visited daily to ch CK and administer my medication and creams and ensure I was feeling ok every day. Defe was my contact and she was at the end of the phone 24/7 for texting, ringing and make me feel safe and well.
The hotel is above and beyond anything I have ever known, the staff are all helpful, the hotel security is absolute top notch. I was on the fourth floor my pass key would only allow me to go to or from they floor to the ground level OR roof terrace, each person on any one floor were ultra safe at all times.
Dr Ali a man with such intricate hands using cutting edge technology to the best possible expertise. the hospital was ultra clean, sterile and quiet, the atmosphere was so chilled happy and caring at all times the hotel, the immaculate cleanliness of the hotel at all times of the day or night. The restaurant had every type of food available that everyone was able to find something they each liked to eat. The meals were 5* cuisine, and melted in your mouth.
