Thank you, Dr

I had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. MED for my perfect tummy tuck, 360 liposuction, and arm liposuction procedures, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the very first consultation to the final follow-up visit, Dr. MED and his female assistants made me feel incredibly comfortable and confident in my decision. The clinic and the Doctor was proposed to me by a Bookimed platform and I want to thank them too! Dr. is not only a skilled surgeon but also a compassionate and attentive professional. He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the procedures, address all my concerns, and ensure I understood what to expect. His expertise and meticulous attention to detail are evident in the fantastic outcome of my surgeries. I feel like a brand new person, more confident and satisfied with my body than I have ever been. The lovely team of female assistants deserves special recognition as well. They were always kind, supportive, and ready to help with any questions or needs I had throughout the process. Their warm and friendly demeanour made the entire experience so much more pleasant. Additionally, the hotel provided for my recovery was top-notch. The staff there took great care of me, ensuring I had a comfortable and relaxing stay while I healed. It was truly a home away from home, where I could rest and recover with peace of mind. I will definitely come back to Dr. MED for any future procedures and I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. and his amazing team to anyone considering plastic surgery. Their exceptional care and dedication to their patients are second to none. Thank you, Dr. MED, for giving me the confidence and the results I’ve always dreamed of!

I'm still recovering but am very hopeful that the result will be better than I expected

This procedure was on my mind for over 3 years, but I was scared shitless to move forward with it since I've heard a number of unfortunate stories. I had blood clotting issue during pregnancy, so I was extremely worried. Thankfully, Bookimed responded all my questions in a timely manner and with care. Calling me "dear" in every sentence was a bit too much for me, but I knew I was being taken care of. I was mostly surprised that all they needed was my flight info to confirm the appointment, not down payment. That made me feel more at ease to know that it was legitimate. Later, I was contacted by the Istanbul Aesthetic Center's liaison, who was fluent in English and explained everything in detail. Dr. Ergin Er suggested a full tummy tuck instead of a mini one to give the best result once he examined in person, and I'm glad that I did. I can barely see the stretch marks and haven't seen my stomach this flat in years. The disappointing part was when I couldn't get the vaser liposuction on my arms because there's not much fat to extract. I thought my arms are huge but apparently not fatty. Instead of operating for just money, I appreciated the doctor for his transparency. He mentioned it would only give a 30% difference, and it wouldn't be worth of getting scars. At least knowing it from a professional inspired me to focus my workout on my arms instead if second guessing "what-if" if I never took this route. Hence, my procedure changed but the price stayed the same since it deducted arms but upgraded to a full tummy tuck. From the airport pick up to the post-operation, everything was well-planned. I was well-taken care by the nurses and the drivers as well. As the liaison mentioned the nurses aren't fluent English speakers but that didn't stop me from being taken care of. I'm still recovering but am very hopeful that the result will be better than I expected.

Many thanks to Akilay (my coordinator)

Overall everything is good. I didn’t like the fact that I had to wait a long time for the doctor during appointments. Also, the medical staff hardly speaks English. Only Turkish. Because of this, I could not sleep at night after the operation. Because they didn't understand what I was telling them about my problem. There is also absolute audibility at night between the corridor and the wards. Many thanks to Akilay (my coordinator). A very attentive and sensitive girl. I liked the hotel. Corresponds to the declared status and price. The staff is qualified. Overall the organization is good. Thanks everyone.

Support from the coordinator.

Communication with medical staff in the hospital. Also, the window in the room could not be fixed; it was constantly knocking. Plus a very uncomfortable and creaky folding chair for the accompanying person

What is the level of medicine in Turkey?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.

As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

Visa	is not required for a trip of at least 30 days per visit
Time difference with Europe	3 hours
Time difference with the USA	8 hours

What hotel services are provided here?

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

When is the best time to travel to Turkey?

The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.

Do I need a visa?

In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.

What states need a visa for treatment in Turkey and what countries can cross the border free and easy read here.

What documents are required to apply for a visa to Turkey for treatment?
