I recommend this service to anyone who wants a professional and supportive experience regardless of the treatment.
I’ve used them twice now for dental work and met others who were having different procedures.
They will ensure you get the best care and results.
Friendly and experienced with access to different treatments like hair transplants too.

Im very happy that I chose Risus Clinic for my dental treatment. The service, expertise and end result were praiseworthy shining. Health tourism in Istanbul is a great and economical solution for dental restoration.

Had an excellent experience with Risus Clinic. I had laser eye surgery done. From consultation to treatment, the coordinators and doctor were very accommodating and professional. This was very important to me as a Canadian doing this treatment overseas. The doctor himself was very attentive and answered all my questions before proceeding with the treatment which made me feel at ease. Now my vision is excellent and I'm so happy! I would highly recommend Risus to anyone seeking major surgery. The next planned surgery is my husband's teeth which we will definitely go with Risus again.

I had laser eye surgery I am from England and having done my research I chose Risus Clinic to be the best.
My surgery was done by Professor Murat decided to go with him as he was highly rated and the best in his field. Yes you have to wait a long time for the first checks but he is highly sort after all over the world ! And it’s your eyes at the end of the day you want the best.
Violet was amazing and looked after me to and from appointments in Turkey. Arranged transfers to and from the airport to the hotel. Came to all the appointments with me and was with me the day of surgery and brought be back to the hotel.
I ended up having PRK laser surgery which is a longer recovery time as my eyes ended up not being suitable for LASIK. I had the surgery end of November and can see really well (healing with PRK can take up to 6months) but I’m now learning to drive and no more glasses or contact lenses ! The best decision of my life to have eye freedom. Amazing company looked after me so well thank you Violet so lovely and professor Murat.
