I am very impressed with the quality and standard of the whole process
Communication was great. I was picked up from the hotel, transfered to the hospital, and accompanied by Adam (translator) through the journey. He knew exactly the intake process and what they would want. He was well organized and very friendly.
The consultant spoke English and was very calm, and professional. I had femto iLasik which was without complication. Pre-op my prescription was -7. Day 0 post op, I could still see but with blurry vision. Day 1 post op, my vision is now 20/20. But eyes feel gritty but hopefully will ease in a few days. I am very impressed with the quality and standard of the whole process. I would highly recommend Turkey for medical tourism. It's affordable and a beautiful clean city to visit as well.
Stupendous experience.

Dear Patient's ,
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed feedback!
We are truly delighted to hear that you had a positive experience with us at VMH Hospitals. It’s great to know that you felt well-supported and informed throughout your journey — from hotel pickup to your successful Femto iLASIK procedure.
Adam and our entire team will be very happy to hear your kind words. We strive to provide each patient with professional care, clear communication, and a comfortable environment, and your satisfaction is the best reward for our efforts.
It’s wonderful to hear that your vision is already 20/20 just one day after the surgery — what a fantastic result! The gritty feeling is quite normal during the early healing period, and we’re confident it will improve in the coming days.
Thank you also for recommending Turkey and VMH Hospitals for medical tourism. We are proud to be part of your journey toward better vision and are always here if you need any further assistance.
Wishing you continued health and clear vision ahead!
Warm regards,
VMH Hospitals

I recommend bookimed
My husband and I traveled from New Zealand to both get eye lens replacement surgery. From the start we have had print and effient communication. With every question answered. We were picked up from the airport, taken to hotel, then the same day at our request taken to the hospital for our appointment. Two days later we were in having eye surgery again with pick ups and drop offs. We were met at the hospital entrance, by bookimed.com translators and hospital translators they were amazing every day, in every way. The doctors were provisional and onto it, explaining every detail, and answering all our questions.
Our procedure went very well and we are very happy with the outcome and how amazing we can see, no longer with glasses or contacts. I recommend bookimed.com to everyone. Vikki

Everything from start to finish was amazing. From the taxi service to the translators and doctors. The main thing is the results of our eye surgery.

It’s so world changing to be able to see clearly again!
Overall, the experience was very much worth. It’s so world changing to be able to see clearly again! The cost was so much better than in the US, and I was also able to get the lens I wanted that is not available in the US yet. Other than a false assumption about where my hotel was located, and the drivers having difficulty finding me, the only perimeter went pretty smoothly. I’m happy with the outcome. I would only suggest that there be at least one nurse or medical staff besides the doctor who speaks English. Many more paranoid, or less traveled Americans would have a hard time going through that honestly. I feel the service is very worth iit overall, those are just some recommendations to make the service excellent and a no-brainer for Americans who need medical procedures.

Dear Scott,
Thank you so much for choosing VMH Hospitals and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that your vision correction was successful and that you are happy with the outcome. Your positive feedback about our cost-effective services and the availability of lenses not yet offered in the US means a lot to us.
We do apologize for the inconvenience you faced with the hotel location and the difficulty our drivers had in finding you. We will work on improving these logistical aspects to ensure a smoother experience for future patients.
Regarding your suggestion about English-speaking medical staff, we fully understand the importance of effective communication, especially for our international patients. We will take your recommendation into consideration and explore the possibility of having more English-speaking nurses or staff available to make the process even easier and more comfortable for our non-Turkish-speaking patients.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we are committed to continuously improving our services to provide the best possible experience. We truly appreciate your thoughtful suggestions.
Thank you again, and we wish you continued good health and happiness!
Best regards,
