About the clinic

Varicose vein treatment at Lokman Hekim University Ankara Hospital in Turkey covers the full spectrum from diagnostics to advanced surgery. Diagnostic consultations may cost around $500, while treatment options include sclerotherapy for around $1090-2000 and Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) priced at about $4000. Treatments are provided by Dr. Sahin Mursel, an experienced cardiologist with 25 years of practice.

Diagnostics for Varicose Veins

Proper treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. The initial assessment involves two steps.

Vascular Surgeon Consultation: A specialist examines the patient's veins.
Doppler Ultrasound Examination: This scan checks blood flow in the veins. It helps find faulty valves.

These diagnostic tools together typically cost around $500. Dr. Mursel uses this information to create a personalized treatment plan.

Available Treatment Methods

The clinic offers three main treatments. Each option suits different patient needs and vein conditions.

Sclerotherapy: This is a minimally invasive injection therapy. A special foam solution is injected into the vein. It causes the vein to collapse and fade. The procedure requires no incisions and recovery is quick. Treatment may cost around $1090-2000 per session.
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA): This laser treatment uses a thin fiber inserted into the vein. Laser energy heats and seals the vein shut. It is minimally invasive and often avoids general anesthesia. This procedure typically costs around $4000 per leg.
Surgical Removal: This is a traditional surgery for complete vein removal. The technique involves vein stripping or ligation. This option may be recommended for larger, more complex varicose veins. The cost is typically around $1480-1640.

Lokman Hekim Hospital left a profound impression on me with its genuine care for every patient

Lokman Hekim Hospital left a profound impression on me with its genuine care for every patient. Everything here is organized the way it should be in an ideal clinic: the staff is attentive, considerate, always ready to help, and does not just go through formal procedures. Unlike many expensive clinics, where everything feels cold and impersonal, where patients are treated almost like on a conveyor belt, here you truly feel involvement and empathy. Every step, every detail is thoughtfully planned with the patient in mind, creating a sense of safety and comfort. Here, they don’t just treat and send you away — they guide and support you at every stage, creating an atmosphere of trust and warmth. This approach makes the stay in the clinic as comfortable and reassuring as possible.

In short, my experience was simply amazing. I highly recommend Lokman Hekim among other Turkish clinics, in Istanbul and other cities, because everything here is truly top-notch. I have already shared more detailed impressions in other reviews, but in short — everything was perfect.

Everything was perfect

About Bookimed service

My experience with Bookimed was absolutely amazing. My sister even went with me to have blepharoplasty, and she immediately wanted to have her surgery at the same clinic where I had mine, because the plastic surgeon there was incredibly professional and outstanding. I can confidently recommend Bookimed to all my relatives, and I would gladly go again to this clinic and only to these doctors, because every specialist in the clinic is exceptional and excellent. Bookimed is truly an amazing platform. I am grateful that it exists because it is very important for people who cannot find the best doctors in their own countries. The platform helps to find the best options for each patient individually, offering different choices so that everyone can select what is optimal for them.

Totally recommend 100%

Great medical team! 🤍 The Translator's did not know medical terminology, and staff didn't know at all English, but we've managed with translation applications. They had to reopen me as a distancer put between my vetebras slipped (needed a bigger size to be put in there) Now im recovery nice and well and all thanks to these wonderful people's that helped! Totally recommend 100%

I liked when i complained about pain, they did an X-ray and found that there was a problem.

I woke up from the surgery screaming of pain, and they keep me like that for almost 2 hours (some protocols), for me it was unhuman to go through that excruciating paint and nobody give me a damn pill.

Anyway, he is willing to do the bone marrow analysis which will give us some answers

It was very good. Dr. just didn't seem to know much about hereditary alpha tryptasemia but in fairness, it is very hard to find a Dr. who knows this information. Anyway, he is willing to do the bone marrow analysis which will give us some answers.

I liked Dr and the consultant who helped us.

Would like it if he knew more about our condition but not many do.
