**Terrible Experience at This Hospital – Avoid at All Costs!**
I took my mother to this hospital when she was in critical condition with stage 3 cancer. They demanded **$800 upfront** before providing any treatment. We paid, but they didn’t even give her **emergency care**—instead, they sent her back to the hotel. We had no choice but to transfer her to another hospital since they refused to help.
Despite multiple requests, they **never refunded the $800**. For months, they kept making excuses, then **falsified a payment receipt**, claiming they sent the money to my bank account. But the details on the receipt were completely wrong—**not my account number at all**. It’s clear they **stole the money**, likely splitting it among themselves, knowing we couldn’t take legal action after leaving Turkey.
What’s worse, their staff, especially the **head translator "Serdal"**, was extremely rude. When I complained, he just said, *"Go ahead, complain wherever you want—you can’t do anything."* They took advantage of my mother’s suffering, and now that she has passed away, we’ve stopped pursuing it. But I want to warn others: **DO NOT TRUST THIS HOSPITAL.** They are scammers who exploit vulnerable patients.
**Be very careful before going there—learn from our painful experience.
If you notice this post Management You can contact me at this number and I will show and prove everything to you.

Facility: Pristine clean. very well maintained.
Staff members: lethargic and unmotivated. I was there for a surgery and my post-operative pain was unbearable. I did not speak Turkish so I had to use Yandex translator. I asked twice for more painkiller because I felt like being stabbed and choked, but both times they ignored my requests and went back to playing on their phones. I had to go to their desks and demand a better pain killer for the third time and 2 hours of agonizing pain. They just don't seem to pay attention because my translator clearly asked for a painkiller but they responded that I still have to keep my medical dressing on??? I had to call the operating doctor and his personal assistant to get them to actually work.
While I was in my room, there were several kids just running up and down the hallways and nobody seemed to take their parents accountable.

In August 2024, I was on the holiday in Turkey (Izmir) after a little over a week I got really sick and went to the local hospital in Izmir. Unfortunately, as much as they tried to help me and in overall all doctors and staff was amazing. I was told that they could not do much and I needed bigger/ better hospital more specialistic. So, I flew to Istanbul and it turned out that I needed an emergency operation ( I had symptoms in 2023 but in the Uk ultrasound and bloods even tho I know now having a copy of the results were bad they just ignored it cos I was young and nothing to worry according to the Uk NHS) I was operated and it was a really complicated operation, however thanks to Prof Dr Veysel and his amazing team of highly
Skilled doctors I was saved. Stayed at the hospital for 7 days and another few weeks before I could fly back to the Uk. I am still here and I am ok, still I come for check ups to Prof Dr Veysel. I am grateful and there are no words for how thankful I am to All that took part in saving me. GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏🫶🫶
