The doctors, the clinic, the interpreter’s work, the transfers – everything was excellent!
I was always accompanied and kept fully informed!
It was a huge plus that I was kept in hospital under supervision after the operation!

It would be great to standardise the communication channel...
Getting loads of messages from different numbers is a bit confusing...
You don’t know where to write if something comes up...
But they’ve always been in touch with me!

The physicians and staff were exceptional
If you're considering a medical check-up abroad, here’s my honest take. I traveled from the U.S. to Istanbul for a comprehensive medical examination at Hisar Hospital, arranged through Bookimed. The physicians and staff were exceptional. I found them professional and genuinely caring. On the other hand, the overall efficiency could be improved, particularly with appointment scheduling and the wait times between departments; better coordination would make the experience smoother. Despite the delays, the quality of care and affordability made it worthwhile, and I received valuable insight into my health at a fraction of the U.S. cost.
I recently traveled from the U.S. to Istanbul for a comprehensive medical examination at Hisar Hospital, arranged through Bookimed. The physicians and medical staff were exceptional—professional, thorough, attentive, and genuinely caring.
Although there were some scheduling delays and opportunities to improve efficiency, the quality of care and affordability made the experience worthwhile. I received valuable insight into my health at a fraction of what similar care would cost in the U.S.
I'm grateful to Bookimed for helping coordinate my visit and to Hisar Hospital for the excellent medical care. I would absolutely recommend both to anyone considering medical tourism!
The overall efficiency could be improved, particularly with appointment scheduling, wait times between departments, and communication throughout the process. Better coordination would make the experience smoother and less time-consuming for patients.

The service was great and the staff was incredibly friendly, making me feel welcome right away
The service was great and the staff was incredibly friendly, making me feel welcome right away. The main point of difficulty for my basic check-up was the internal logistics. The process involves a lot of walking around and checking the availability of each department as you go, which can be quite time-consuming. It really would have been better if a specific time had been allocated for each service in advance to streamline the day.
Great service, friendly staff,

He knew exactly what my 25yrs old hearing loss problem was and what needed to be done and just did and corrected my hearing instantly!
I am extremely happy that I landed on the hands of an ENT expert , " Prof.Dr. Yavus. He knew exactly what my 25yrs old hearing loss problem was and what needed to be done and just did and corrected my hearing instantly!
The medical team, from reception,/admin, translators, lab techs, surgery and docs are great, these are professionals who are properly trained.
My one night hospital stay in the room after my ear surgery was a five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 experience. Very clean and quite room, with spacious washroom with all amenities in place. You can sit and work on your laptop if you can, sit and read a book or watch out through the window if you like or just lay in your hospital bed and take naps. No pain! Everything about the room was excellent! The nurses on night duty checked me every hour or less to monitor my temperature and/blood pressure. This was angelic 👌
And then I had a soft diet in the morning to break my 24hrs fast, isn't this enough care to appreciate?
Doc was happy to learn I can hear! He was successful in his work.💪💪💪
If you have an ENT problem, look out for this hospital and ask for Prof.Dr Yavuz. He shows you and explains what your problem is on a projector and tells you instantly he can correct it and does that with no pain. Was half the price I would have paid in the UK.
I met an Orthopaedic surgeon too to address my knees pain. Dr. Tusuf Bayram. An expert in his office. I thought I needed an MRI but no, I explained, he examined, did an x-ray and knew what was wrong, what needs to be done and did what he could. Simple! Three GP visits with an x-ray didn't see my problem but he did. If you got similar problem, please look no further than here.😃🤞
However, I had too many coordinators from both Bookimed and Hisar hospital several.months when planning my treatment. If there is anything I would ask you to improve, kindly stick to one from bookimed and one from the hospital please. To coordinate exceedingly, you need to understand a patient's concern, interest and goal. I did not meet a Neurosurgeon I should have met as planned, because he was given an appointment to meet me on a day that I was on air travelling in the night, how could this be! He had videos of my other neural conditions and had more information about my condition beforehand than the Neurosurgeon I met a day after. And I came back unsatisfied with my neural recommendation.
Attached is my pic with my ear Surgeon , five days after my surgery. Look out for him!😍
Recovering my hearing loss.
I was not happy meeting a Neurosurgeon I didn't interact with during the planning months. She was physically examining me and not explaining what she was looking out for and why. And then made another test I had to ask what for and even so, the reason I was given wasn't satisfactory. I mean, it should explain what exactly she is investigating. An expert medical personnel does that. Doctors Yavus and Yusuf did!
About Bookimed service
Was good, they helped me get a cheaper hospital to address my medical conditions than a hospital I had actually found online. Only problem was the miss coordination between the initial Neurosurgeon and the day we should have met.Saray Mah. Site Yolu Cad. No:7 34768 Ümraniye / İstanbul
