All in all this was 10/10 experience and i fully recommend everyone to go to dr

The whole experience was amazing!! The doctors are very caring and attentive. Some nurses don't speak english but as long as you can use Google Translate you're good. You are sore, as expected, after the surgery but they give you plenty of painkillers. All in all this was 10/10 experience and i fully recommend everyone to go to dr. HE clinic for bariatric surgery. Update: I've added pictures of my progress below. The green dress is me at 121 kilos and the red is after 6 weeks, at 103 kilos.

"The doctors and staff deserve the highest praise

The room is not large, the sofa is very small and hard for an accompanying person to sleep very badly. The air conditioner does not work well, my husband bought a fan for me, the windows do not open at all, the screws are twisted, I have not seen this before. But the doctors and staff deserve the highest praise. The people working in the clinic are always polite and attentive. The comfort is poor.

Dr Abdulcabbar Kartal was present every step of the way

Dr Abdulcabbar Kartal was present every step of the way. I felt well informed on the benefits and risks of the treatment. He checked in on me frequently before and after surgery. He even followed up after I was discharged and I will be seeing him again in 3 months time for another check. He has made it very clear that I can contact him if I ever have any questions. The doctor spoke good English but the interpreters were very helpful and made sure all my questions were answered clearly. The medical staff at Anadolu Medical Center were very attentive and met all my needs.

The medical staff from doctors to nurses to interpreters were all very attentive and helpful throughout my stay before and after surgery.

The hospital was very busy and there were at times long waiting times for my appointments in the various departments for my pre operation scans and checks.

About Bookimed service

I always got a quick response and answer to all my questions. I felt very supported and well aided in making my decision for where I wanted to do my surgery.
