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!

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
