Memorial Bahçelievler in Istanbul was established at the beginning of 2018. It is the 11th hospital of the largest network of medical centers in Turkey — Memorial Healthcare Group. Hospitals, which belong to this network, are famous for their achievements in cancer treatment and organ transplant. According to the statistics, the success rate of the kidney transplant is 99%, the liver — 93.5%.
Memorial Bahçelievler Hastanesi is located in Istanbul, 5 minutes by car from Istanbul Ataturk International Airport.
Advantages of Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital
- The high level of equipment. The hospital has one of the most technologically advanced infrastructures in the world. The complete examination of the body is made on Magnetom Skyra 3T MRI for several minutes. Its specific structure allows diagnosing patients with overweight and claustrophobia. The noise level is reduced by 97% compared to the previous apparatuses, so even children feel comfortable during the examination. The clinic has Elekta Versa HD SIGNATURE — an innovative radiotherapy system. It accurately determines the location, shape, size of the tumor, the required dose of radiation, and adapts to the patient's breathing. These features make the procedure efficient and safe — only malignant cells are exposed to radiation, and the surrounding healthy tissues are protected. Elekta Versa HD SIGNATURE provides high-dose irradiation as well. Thus, the duration of the procedure is reduced by 3 times, compared to radiosurgical interventions on devices of the older generation.
- “Green hospital” conception. Memorial Bahçelievler rooms are designed in that way to positively affect the patient's psychological condition. Only living hypoallergenic plants are used in the design.
- Coordination of international patients. Each patient has a personal coordinator who will inform about all diagnostics and treatment steps, arrange transfer and medical interpreter services.

Memorial Urology Department
Doctors of the Department of Urology specialize in the treatment of prostate cancer, bladder, kidney and organ transplantation.
Robotic kidney transplant
Doctors provide kidney transplant using the Da Vinci robot, a high-precision surgical unit that minimizes the risks of postoperative complications. The robot has the camera, which transmits a three-dimensional image of the operated area to the surgical team. The image is 15 times scaled up so doctors can see the structures of the organ, veins in the smallest detail and perform their actions as accurately as possible. The additional benefit is the elimination of the human factor as possible shaking hands. Patient recovery after robotic transplant is much faster than after open surgery.

The doctors are extremely competent, attentive and relevant!
Very good, but I'd come back for a stay of more than 3 days as it's too short to make an assessment. If you don't want to be in a hurry, you need to plan for 5 days on site, preferably outside the weekend! The doctors are extremely competent, attentive and relevant! The hospital is magnificent, large and clean. It has all the technology you need, and despite the wait, I highly recommend memoriall!
The breakfast is delicious. The blood test is painless, and the staff are smiling and reassuring.
Despite the best efforts of the staff, the wait can be a little long. Unfortunately . There really are a lot of people because the treatments are of such high quality!
About Bookimed service
Ali is very friendly, very available and very empathetic. She gave very good, detailed explanations about the treatment. Good to know: on Sundays the hospital does not carry out tests and check-ups and for better organisation, prefer tests and check-ups over several days during the week.

Her and her team were fantastic
I had initially gone to Turkey to consult with a dental clinic there. The initial clinic consultation went a direction that didn't want to go to meet my needs. Bookimed was able to quickly arrange more consultations with other clinics and Bahcelievler Memorial Hospital. I really liked the dental staff and the vision/action plan proposed by Bahcelievler. I quickly decided that they were the best option of all my consultations there in-country. Due to the severity of my dental needs, the Chief of Dentistry (Dr. Esma Sonmez) personally took my case. Her and her team were fantastic. She highly recommended the oral surgeon, part of the hospital, Dr. Celal Gondirll. I highly recommend both of them. Mr. Gondirll communicated clearly the game plan, successfully followed through with a well-performed surgery, and was available for after-care. I needed 24 crowns, with temporaries installed prior to the jaw surgery, and permanents installed post-surgery. Dr Sonmez performed all the crowns herself. In all, everything went very well. My hospital medical coordinators, Ms. Rose and Mr. Masoud, did a great job of coordinating the activities, hospital stay, hotel stay, and shuttle services. It has only been about a week and a half post-surgery, but I am very pleased with the results. I'm sure things will only improve more as the swelling subsides in the coming weeks. None of it would have been possible without my Bookimed coordinator, Winnington, quickly pivoting after my initial consultation going south and arranging the consultation with the hospital. An additional point to mention is that Bahcelievler Memorial Hospital was able to perform all the needed services at a significantly cheaper price. Dr. Sonmez is also very conservative in her approach to dental care and was able to successfully avoid 12 root canals that my initial dental clinic consultations had deemed "required." I would strongly suggest adding a consultation with the hospital prior to finalizing any action plan. Thank you!
The hospital team: Dr. Esma Sonmez and Dr. Gondirll.
There was some confusion and anxiety at times about shuttle arrangements. Everything worked out pretty well, though.

I would like to share my experience of an examination in Turkey. The Bookimed service helped me a lot when choosing a clinic - they quickly selected several options, took into account my wishes and even helped me with the organisation of my trip. In the end, I chose a clinic that fully met my expectations.
The clinic itself was modern, with highly qualified doctors and attentive staff. I was met directly at the airport, accompanied at all stages, and the medical care was top-notch.
A huge thank you to Bookimed for their help in my search and to the clinic for their professionalism and warm welcome! I would recommend this service and clinic to anyone looking for quality treatment abroad.
