Would 100% recommend all of Bookimed, Medical Park and Dr

Had my tonsils taken out in Medical Park Antalya Hastanesi with Dr. Harun Doğru. Great experience, from messaging Bookimed, i was hesitant because reviews were all so positive, i was scared it would be a scam but after the experience I have absolutely nothing bad to say. They were so helpful, they booked everything for me and required very little from me. Once I flew out there, I was met with a fantastic interpreter Kamil who was fantastic, I would be completely lost without him. Then to Dr. Harun, thank you for a smooth operation and recovery. Would 100% recommend all of bookimed, Medical Park and Dr. Harun. Thank you all for a positive experience!

I would recommend this clinic and especially the professor to anyone who needs treatment related to trigeminal nerve

I underwent Gamma Knife surgery on my trigeminal nerve at Medical Park Clinic and I would like to express my huge gratitude to all the medical staff and especially to the professor who performed the procedure. The operation was difficult, as it involved the trigeminal nerve and there was a risk of injury to nearby nerves. However, thanks to the professionalism and high qualifications of the professor, everything went well. He performed the procedure with jewellery precision, minimising possible risks and ensuring an excellent result. The Medical Park clinic also impressed with its high level of service, attentive attitude to patients and modern technological base. I felt in safe hands from the moment of consultation to the end of the rehabilitation period. I would recommend this clinic and especially the professor to anyone who needs treatment related to trigeminal nerve. Thank you for your work and care!

The Medical Park Clinic impressed me the most with its high level of service, attentive attitude to patients and modern technological facilities. I felt in safe hands from the moment of consultation to the end of the rehabilitation period.

There was no communication before we arrived. Did not like the organisation.

About Bookimed service

I wanted to mention the counsellor, Victoria, who was in touch with us. I liked her responsiveness and sincere desire to help, her humanity and empathy. She solved our questions promptly!

Everything was great, a nice and very helpful girl called Victoria was very helpful

The Bookimed website helped us a lot. Everything was great, a nice and very helpful girl called Victoria was very helpful. The interpreter, the taxi and the clinic that was recommended to us were all top notch. We were met at the airport and brought to the clinic. The doctors are good and experienced. The nurses at the clinic were a bit irresponsible. But I am very grateful to this site for the great help. I am glad I found this site. Advice.

Very pleasant and responsible Bookimed operator.

I liked the pulmonologist. Good, professional attitude. Lor doctor is a specialist in his profession. Ultrasound doctors are specialists in their field.

Good interpreter Osman treated us very well and helped us with many things. The pulmonologist is a very good doctor.

The attitude of clients is not for money but for their health.
