If necessary, I will come again! Thank you
Service in a foreign country is especially important, and when you are contacted every minute, there is no stress. The car pick-up and all the subsequent movements in the clinic - everything is clear and to the point. If necessary, I will come again! Thank you. For a job well done!
Liked that the doctor understood my problem and will address it, it takes time.
It's been good.

We feel in safe hands
We returned to the hospital for an unplanned, emergency visit after my father's usual post-transplant check ups. I can't thank enough Aliser for being so helpful and available in arranging everything last minute (on a Sunday!). The doctor's expertise and empathy is second to none. I would especially like to thank our surgeon Dr. Yuzer and Dr. Ahmet for their expertise, kind support and care. We feel in safe hands.

- The doctor seems to be experienced, he seems to have told everything, he gave answers to our questions
The organization was a success, transfer, hotel reservation. The doctor seems to be experienced, he seems to have told everything, he gave answers to our questions, but it seems that he didn’t get into our problem, it’s clear that this is his daily work, but for some reason it seemed that they would give us more time and take care of our issue more closely, but our expectations are our problems. They were not in the hospital, there was only a diagnosis.

We did not go to the clinic, we sent histology for review. Answers waited a long time and pulled out, we can say with forceps. All the answers were very concise, constantly had to ask for the addition. They paid for the advice of the doctor, but in fact did not receive it. In general, this hospital disappointed us. Perhaps the doctors there are good, but remote consultation is lame very much. Constantly communicated with Yulia Andreychuk. Yulia answered all questions quickly and provided information well. I was pleased with her work.

Everything is here to make your visit as stress free and pleasant as a trip to the hospital can be
A very professional team. I had a translator throughout to not only do translation but guide me to the places I needed to be. Very clean and welcoming place. The prices are discussed prior to your arrival and appointment booking. There is also a transfer car that can be arranged on the days that you need it. Everything is here to make your visit as stress free and pleasant as a trip to the hospital can be.

The only problem we had was the availability of medical staff
The only problem we had was the availability of medical staff. Some doctors had to wait for a very long time.
The clinic has very good doctors. Competent and attentive, they were sympathetic to our problem
We spent 5-7 hours a day at the clinic waiting for doctors. Although everything was agreed in advance. But oezul tat is the most important thing

"I advise all my acquaintances on any medical problems to contact the MEDİPOL center without a doubt at the expense of professionalism and attentiveness to patients
I was in the clinic a week ago on gastroenterology. Clinic liked. I advise. All at the proper international level. Doctors are professional, the professor himself did gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Thanks to the translators, they very quickly helped in all matters. As well as to the support department - in fact, there were always contacts on the airport, Transfer from the airport and back, as well as the clinic MEDİPOL provides to the clinic. Very promptly received answers analyzes and advice. I advise all my acquaintances on any medical problems to contact the MEDİPOL center without a doubt at the expense of professionalism and attentiveness to patients.

Most importantly they got the job done
I don’t have any complaints. The coordinator, doctor and interpreter was accommodating. Most importantly they got the job done.
Efficiency and cost effectiveness
I guess perhaps it was that I had to assert myself to remind them that I’m looking to get this done quickly rather than later. But no big deal, as right after I told them I want the appointment done asap, they got it booked in 2 days.

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.

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.
