My wife and I traveled from Los Angeles, California to Istanbul specifically for a Full Body Check-Up at Liv Hospital Ulus, and we were truly impressed by the outstanding quality of service and medical care.
From the moment we entered the facility, everything exceeded our expectations — from the modern, hotel-level environment to the professionalism of the entire staff. We underwent a comprehensive health screening, which included extensive blood tests, ultrasounds of the abdomen, pelvis, thyroid, and breasts, as well as ECG, fluorography, and consultations with a dietitian, cardiologist, and internal medicine doctor. The process was smooth, well-organized, and incredibly efficient.
In addition to the regular check-up, I requested an examination by an ENT specialist, Dr. Elçin Aritürk, as I’ve struggled with breathing issues due to a deviated septum my entire life. After a detailed examination, the doctor confirmed the need for surgery. Since this type of procedure is not covered by my insurance in Los Angeles (being considered cosmetic) and costs around $16k there, I decided to proceed with the operation here at Liv Hospital.
The cost here was just $4k, which also included one night of accommodation. Today is the seventh day after surgery, and I’ve just had the silicone tubes removed from my nose — it has truly been life-changing. For the first time in my life, I can breathe freely through my nose. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Aritürk for her incredible care, expertise, and compassion. Her approach was phenomenal and absolutely professional.
The hospital itself is on a world-class level — much higher in quality than most medical centers we’ve experienced in California. The rooms, service, and medical technology are all top-tier. The cost-to-quality ratio is unmatched, and in fact, the quality far surpasses the price. We are extremely satisfied with our experience.
We would also like to give special thanks to our translator and coordinator, Tatyana Kulak, who was by our side throughout the entire process. She translated everything from Turkish to Russian, offered constant support, and ensured we felt comfortable and cared for at every step. Her assistance was invaluable and added a personal touch that made the entire experience even more seamless.
After researching and calling five different hospitals, we chose Liv Hospital because of its fair pricing and excellent reputation and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. This will now become a yearly tradition for us, and we will definitely return for our annual check-ups.
Highly recommended to anyone considering high-quality medical care abroad. Liv Hospital Ulus offers professionalism, hospitality, and value at the highest level.
