Coordinator Gemina was incredibly helpful throughout our stay, constantly staying in touch, answering questions, and significantly reducing our stress about what to expect
The moment that stands out was before the surgery, when my doctor took the time to meticulously mark all the areas. It’s still too early to judge the final results. The clinic's aftercare has been very good; they've stayed in touch, were easy to reach, and provided a clear guide for recovery. I can confirm there were no additional expenses beyond the initial quote. A practical tip: if a companion is joining you, you might want to plan for additional food charges for them.

Coordinator Jimena was incredibly helpful throughout our stay, constantly staying in touch, answering questions, and significantly reducing our stress about what to expect. The hospital itself was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Our translator, Ismael, was fantastic—he accommodated all of our last-minute requests and seamlessly arranged everything for us. I was treated by Dr Murat, he was very professional. Before the treatment, I received a full diagnosis with completely honest feedback about my results and expectations, and the post-treatment aftercare was excellent. I have two suggestion, First, having dedicated translator devices in the rooms would greatly improve daily communication with the general staff, as relying on personal phones was sometimes challenging. Second, while pricing was discussed in euros, card payments had to be processed in lira. It would be much more convenient for international guests if the billing currency matched the discussed price, as the current system requires an inconvenient double conversion.

I am still in early recovery but feel better than expected
What stood out was my surgeon being honest about realistic results for my open piezo rhinoplasty, which involved my bridge, tip, and internal septum. I am still in early recovery but feel better than expected. The logistics were solid: Everything from airport pick up to airport drop off; doctor and staff is fast, experienced, trustworthy. A big thanks to Valentyna for her help. The clinic itself had flaws. Nurses need a bit of improvement; one missed a vein, and I had to call repeatedly about my IV. The food was also low in quality and size. The clinic has stayed in touch, and I did have extra expenses for aftercare medicine.
Everything from airport pick up to airport drop off; doctor and staff is fast, experienced, trustworthy; hospital is very clean, good tv channels in multilanguage, drivers also reliable;
And also a big thanks to Valentyna for her good job in helping me find the right doctor and clinic for my situation. L
1)Nurses need a bit of improvement;
First nurse came and she mistake the vein; came back and did another vein;
Theni had to call severals time because the liquid container drops would stop after the second day more often.. i have call like 7/8 times only in few hours time;
Food: i am 93 kilos and the food i received was always low in quality and sizes; i needed way more and better quality, since i got into the hospital i lost energies, never go to the bathroom in 3 days being hospitalize;
Last, sometimes during night you could hear lnurses talking too laud on the corridor.

Everything was well organized, and all transfers were on time and pleasant
I was nervous about handling all the travel arrangements, but in the end it was really simple. Everything was well organized, and all transfers were on time and pleasant. The hospital was modern and clean. My surgeon, Dr. Yaman, and his translator were very approachable with any questions, and he was honest about the realistic results for my full hip-to-hip tummy tuck. He was also present during recovery checks. I’m still in early recovery with two drains but feeling better than expected. A few things to note: it was quite late before I heard from the hospital coordinators, and be prepared to pay for post-op medications to take home. The food is pretty awful, so bring snacks or use the hospital cafe. The nursing staff are very good, but English is limited, so using a translation app on your phone is helpful. The clinic provided a clear aftercare guide and has been easy to reach.
Everything was well organized, all transfers were on time and pleasant. Hospital was very modern and clean with the latest technology. Nursing staff mostly all very pleasant although English wasn't great we got by. Surgeon Dr yaman and his translator were very pleasant and approachable with any questions or concerns.
It was quite late into my week of surgery before I heard from the hospital co ordinators, although once I did they were very quick to respond. Food is pretty awful so bring bits in yourself, although hospital cafe is quite decent. Be prepared to pay for post op medications to take home, I hadn't been made aware of this.

The surgeon answered all of my questions before doing what I feel was a fantastic job
The surgeon answered all of my questions before doing what I feel was a fantastic job. It's a fantastic, modern clinic, and my language adviser kept me fully up to date and informed throughout the entire process. As I recover, the team has stayed in touch and I have a clear aftercare guide to follow, which has been very helpful. It was also a relief that there were no additional expenses. The only thing I can possibly point out is that I was not keen on the food.
Fantastic modern clinic , language adviser kept me fully up to date and informed fantastic surgeon who answered all my questions and did a fantastic job.
Nothing apart from I was not keen on the food lol

The doctor was great, really explained everything as much as he could and helped loads
For anyone considering this procedure, my experience was a mixed bag, but the medical care itself was solid. My surgeon performed a vasovasostomy and was very honest about success chances, especially given my original vasectomy was 5–10 years ago. The doctor was great, really explained everything as much as he could and helped loads. Staff were good and very attentive also. I’m feeling about as expected in my recovery and the clinic gave me a clear aftercare guide. The main issue was the catering. Honestly, the food, it was boring or disgusting not good. There was no choice of meals or drinks for me or my partner. It's my one big piece of advice for others: bring plenty of your own food and drink for your stay.

The food, it was boring or disgusting not good. There was no choice of meals, snacks or even drinks before, during or after surgery and my same for my partner. Nobody questioned why we hadnt eaten any of the food either.
