I had a surgery with Dr. Baris Cakir recently, and I’d like to thank you lovely nurses Servet(or Selvet) and Zeynep who looked after me well in the 6th floor of the hospital. They were so nice, always make sure If I needed something or not.
I felt so comfortable while I was recovering my surgery at the hospital.
Thank you girls :) X

I had my aortic valve surgery here with Prof. Dr. Ertan Sağbaş, an excellent surgeon who explained everything clearly and gave me great confidence. The ward nursing staff were professional, caring, and always attentive during my recovery. A special thanks to Nurse Seda, who looked after me in ICU with kindness and patience. Overall, the care I received was outstanding — highly recommended.

Valet Theft at İstanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital – Beware!
I had a deeply disturbing experience at İstanbul Florence Nightingale Hastanesi. While the hospital’s medical services may be acceptable, their valet parking staff are involved in theft. After using their valet service, I discovered that cash had been stolen from my car and replaced with counterfeit money.
What’s worse, when I reported this to hospital management, their response was completely irresponsible. There was no accountability, no real investigation, and no willingness to take the issue seriously. It’s incredibly disappointing and raises serious concerns about security and oversight at this facility.
A private hospital of this reputation should never allow such behavior to go unaddressed. I strongly advise others not to use the valet service, and to be extremely cautious with personal belongings when visiting.
This kind of experience is unacceptable anywhere — but especially at a hospital, where patients and their families are already in stressful situations and should feel safe.

The best hospital in the world! A team of great professionals! They saved my mother's life twice! Both the medical staff and the auxiliary staff are extraordinary people!
I have so much faith in them that I have treated my whole family here: mom, dad and wife!

I was at the hospital. It looks perfect from the outside. But other then the payment, which was done in lightning speed, the rest of the thing does not goes smooth. They charged me for some tests, and dismissed me. Now the are asking me to do the same tests again, with explanation that they didn't do them in the first place. The thing is going on for 3 months now.
Not professional at all. very, very disappointed!!!
