Wherever I have been to an eye hospital in my life, I have never met such a polite and experienced doctor
The thing I liked the most about the clinic is that there is no compulsion for surgery in the clinic (compared to other places). The main problem with your eyes, that is, whether there is a disease or not, is important to them. If there is a disease, the most appropriate solution will be found. A big thank you to Opr.Dr.Sezer.Haciağaoğlu, who examined my eyes and did the laser. Wherever I have been to an eye hospital in my life, I have never met such a polite and experienced doctor. The clinic is in the first place in the world for me. I am happy if this comment is useful to someone. Because I also chose "Dunyagôz Etiler" after reading and analyzing the other comments on Bookimed. Thank you bookimed and Dunyagõz Etiler

But everyone is happy)))!
I liked everything, the clinic is really good.
The doctor is also a professional in his field.
One minus is that they said the operation was scheduled for Saturday, but in the end it was done on Wednesday, like they postponed it twice.
But everyone is happy)))!
They feed me three times, which is also a plus.
I liked everything about it.
They don't even speak Russian,
It is difficult with the language.

my doctor Anil Kubaloglu suggested a more suitable laser correction option than I had planned for which I am additionally grateful to him
Very modern clinic (top-of-the-range Relex Smile Pro laser correction machine) with friendly, caring staff, my doctor Anil Kubaloglu suggested a more suitable laser correction option than I had planned for which I am additionally grateful to him.
The clinic kindly agreed to extend my stay for a day free of charge when I had a flight, provided an extra desk and chair for work. Excellent 3 meals a day.
state-of-the-art equipment

all my preferences (of which there were many) were taken into account
About Bookimed service
Without bookimed, it would have been an impossible task to get in touch with the clinic and arrange everything exactly as I needed it. That is why I am very grateful to them. A wonderful and free (for the patient) service.

I am very satisfied and definitely recommend Bookimed and this clinic
I would like to mention the professionalism and attentiveness of the consultant Liana - she did a great job! I was also pleasantly surprised by the clinic's service. I was met at the airport at night, picked up from the hotel in the morning and brought to the clinic. Payment was quick and in 20 minutes I was accompanied by an interpreter who was a real professional.
In just two hours I had a full examination, and already at 14:00 the operation took place. I bore it easily - I was able to go for a walk in the evening. My eyesight started to improve, although it still takes time to fully stabilise.
I am very satisfied and definitely recommend Bookimed and this clinic
The service provided by the counsellor Liana and the quality of the clinic itself
