Michael • Vasectomy Reversal (Vasovasostomy)

United Kingdom

Oct 19, 2026

Verified review.

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.

Anonymous • Tummy Tuck and Liposuction

Italy

The clinic stayed in touch consistently after I was discharged, which was reassuring. I'm in early recovery from my tummy tuck with muscle repair and abdominal liposuction, and so far, I am feeling about as expected. The process was organized. In my own words, all has been handled correctly by the clinic, the result is good and i liked both the hospital room and the hotel one. The primary difficulty was that the staff itself could have a better understanding of the English language. Be prepared for some extra costs. I had to pay for aftercare medicines upon leaving the clinic and for my meals at the hotel.

I loved my surgical nurse, Ezra, and the surgeon was attentive, but there needed to be more discussion on incision placement. The aftercare, however, has been almost non-existent. I had the procedure on both arms and I'm not feeling as good as I had hoped. I feel very unsupported. The clinic is slow to respond, with little contact, and not all my questions are answered—it feels as though they don’t care once they have your money. On a positive note, the surgeon did the consultation and markings personally. Be prepared for additional expenses, as I had to buy my own medicines for aftercare. My advice: have a translator app ready to speak with staff and take some protein bars in case you are hungry.

Loved the surgical nurse, Ezra, who is an angel making sure you have all you need. Surgeon was attentive and checked in. Translator helped in particular with the surgeon.

More discussion of placement of incision. Better after care as this has been almost non existent

The conversation with my surgeon before the procedure was very direct; he discussed the risks and the full recovery timeline clearly, which helped me prepare. On the whole, I was really satisfied with everything. The doctor was very nice and very helpful. The staff were very friendly. It was also a relief that there were no additional expenses beyond the agreed price. I'm still healing. The clinic has been easy to reach with my follow-up questions, which is reassuring during this period of recovery.

The English coordinators were amazing, very helpful and a joy to work with. They made the process so much easier. I'm very grateful for them. Apart from one incident where a nurse ignored my four requests for pain medication while I was unwell on the ward, my experience with staff was generally good. My surgeon was direct about a realistic final cup size and carefully explained the anchor incision technique and scar placement, marking me meticulously before surgery. Since the procedure, the clinic has stayed in touch, providing a clear aftercare guide and being easy to reach. I did have some additional expenses for take-home medication and an extra night at the hotel. My advice is to do your research and communicate concerns like my medication sensitivity beforehand. Also, be prepared that you might not like the hospital food.

Apart from one incident of a nurse ignoring me and not wanting ro give me pain medication while in pain and unwell after asking her 4 times on the ward, I had a good experience with staff in general.

Simon • Tip rhinoplasty

The moment I saw the result, even with the initial swelling, I could tell the shape was exactly what I wanted. It’s a great feeling. My goal was a more defined tip, and that's precisely what the surgeon delivered using an open approach. The whole process was smooth, and the staff were genuinely caring. The most difficult part of recovery so far is just having to sleep upright, which is temporary. A huge bonus is that I am breathing perfectly through my nose already. I am so grateful for the surgeon's skill and the clear communication from the team.

I remember my first consultation with Dr. Günbey and feeling completely listened to and understood. He was honest about realistic results for my full nose reshaping, showing before/after photos of similar cases and clearly explaining the aesthetic and breathing goals with the ultrasonic piezo technique. This gave me so much confidence. That level of care continued post-op. The team stays in touch with a clear aftercare guide and is always easy to reach, making me feel supported every step of the way. I'm feeling better than expected. A small piece of practical advice for future patients: bring a simple airline-style neck pillow for your recovery, it makes a real difference.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Outstanding Experience with Dr. Emre Günbey and His Wonderful Team I honestly cannot recommend Dr. Emre Günbey and his team highly enough. From the very beginning of my rhinoplasty journey, I have felt that I was in the safest, most caring and professional hands. Dr. Günbey has been exceptional throughout the entire process. His professionalism, attention to detail and dedication to his work have given me so much confidence and reassurance. I felt listened to, understood and cared for, and it was clear that my comfort and wellbeing were a priority. What truly made the experience stand out was the incredible aftercare. Dr. Günbey and his team have been supportive, attentive and reassuring every step of the way. Knowing that I could reach out with questions or concerns and receive help and guidance made such a difference. Their kindness, patience and continued support have meant so much to me. Rhinoplasty is a big decision, and having a surgeon and team who make you feel comfortable, supported and cared for throughout the entire journey is invaluable. I am so grateful for the time, effort and care they have given me, not only during the operation but also throughout my recovery. A huge thank you to Dr. Emre Günbey and every member of his wonderful team for making this experience such a positive one. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering rhinoplasty and looking for an experienced, caring and dedicated surgeon with excellent support and aftercare. Five stars simply don’t feel enough! Thank you for everything. ❤️

The whole experience was good from airport transfers through to translator and staff. While a language barrier existed, the translator was on hand for most issues, and if not, we got by. The hospital was first class and so was the care. I am still in early recovery from the liposuction-only procedure on my chest and sides, and I feel about as expected. The only additional expense was for medication when I left, which I was aware would be the case. There has been little contact since, but they are easy to reach if I need. I felt I knew what to expect during recovery so haven’t needed to make contact.

My consultation with Dr. Emre set a professional and kind tone for the whole process. Overall, it was a very good experience with Bookimed and Lokman Hekim Hospital; the entire team was helpful and well-organized. I had a full nose reshaping, and while it's much too early to tell what the final result will be, the journey has been smooth. I appreciated that there were no surprise additional expenses beyond what was originally quoted by the clinic. The coordination was solid.

Very good experience with Bookimed and Lokman Hekim Hospital. The team was helpful, professional, and well-organized. Dr. Emre was very kind and professional. Highly recommended
