MARCO MARTINEZ CONTRERAS • Cochlear implant placement

Verified review.
Excellent experience. I traveled from Mexico to have cochlear implant surgery. First of all, I found this hospital thanks to the attention of Bookimed, they attended me very well, got the best option and started the whole process.
At the beginning I was obviously a little bit afraid that everything was real and correct and with good results, it was the first time I used this kind of medical tourism. I searched many countries and options and found the best deal through Bookimed at Hisar Hospital in Istanbul at the best price. Now that it's all over, I am pleasantly surprised and grateful to everyone who took care of me. I am impressed with how well they have organized everything for international patients. From the transportation, to the airport-hotel-airport, hotel-hospital-hotel, in all the appointments I had, more than 3 times in two weeks. The international department assigned me one and sometimes two translators, all were very well behaved, Dr. Yabuz Selim very attentive and professional, the hospital was excellent, the package included two nights accommodation in a room with two rooms, and meals for patient and companion. Pre-operative studies, post-operative follow-up, and only the agreed amount was paid from the beginning, not a dollar more we had to pay. I had never had this experience in a hospital before. The whole procedure was fast and without complications, they checked me 3 more times without any problem. They helped me resolve all my doubts and concerns, always with excellent response through whatsapp. I sincerely recommend and thank everyone involved in Hisar Hospital. I hope I never have to go back, but if I need to, I will not even look elsewhere.
Everything was excellent. It exceeded my expectations by far.

Hisar hospital was great, rooms were large, clean and they had the latest medical equipment. The doctor (dr. Tayphun Apuhan) explained to us in detail the procedure (it was a tympanoplasty for my wife) and the surgery went perfect. The hospital staff was great, the nurses took very good care of us and the experience was a 5/5 at all times. The doctor also offered the least intrusive solution to my wife's problem so her recovery was quick and successful. The provided translator (which was needed as my wife does not speak english) was great and she guided us throughout the whole treatment phases. I highly recommend this hospital, doctor and bookimed for anyone seeking a tympanoplasty or other ear related surgery.
Our medical coordinator Olha was super helpful - she guided us through all the steps required, and the trip we had was great and un-eventful. The recommended hospital was great, we had a translator with us the whole time and the surgery was succesful
About Bookimed service

Left ear hearing lost of 25yrs long, regained over a week ago after undergoing a tympanoplasty surgery.
Very skilled doctors.
Very supportive medical team. The nurses on night shift checked on me between 30minutes and an hour to take my BP and check if I was fine. Xxx
Very clean, spacious and quite hospital room,if you are not in pain after a surgery, you have a little office table and a comfortable office chair to work on your laptop, sit on the armchair and watch outside through the wide window or just lay on your comfortable and clean hospital bed!
I had a five stars room with five stars everything including the very clean and spacious washroom with all amenities. Very comfortable to shower either while sitting or standing. This was worth the cost.😍😍😍😍😍
Met an Orthopaedic expert too who successfully diagnosed my knee condition after one year of GP visits without any conclusions.
I can only recommend that if you are looking for everything I have mentioned above while looking for surgery, look no further!
This hospital is fairly cheaper, too, compared to many in Turkey. Bookimed helped me choose this after comparing costs with a number of them best medical facilities in Turkey.
For ENT, look out for Prof.Dr.Yavuz Selim Yildirim attached on pic.
Meeting a doctor that knows exactly what your problem is, tells/shows you and explains what needs to be done and assures you he can fix it. Expertise and confidence! That gave me 100% hope that my hearing condition was reversible and pa👂 😃
At the orthopaedic, I was given a pictorial sheet for physical exercises for my knees, every text under each pic is in Turkish. For God's sake, we need to read this time and again to get the concept on our own after the translators or after leaving Turkey. 🤔
If only this hospital could have Prescription sheets and data in both English and Turkish without a patient having to ask for, this would lessen the burden placed on translators having to explain what a patient could just read for themselves had it been in English.
About Bookimed service
I had a choice of hospital to go to after an online search and reading their reviews, but this was way too expensive and one of the bookimed coordinators gave me a price lists which helped me compare cost and ended up in Hisar which was fair enough. Thank you very much, I am so greatful. 🙏
But, I had tooany coordinators from bookimed, I can not remember them all as the hospital also had too many coordinators texting me, very confusing! Kindly try to stick to one coordinator/patient from planning to exit please.
