About Bookimed service
Dr. Hanna wich is my Bookimed coordinator is one of the most extraordinary persons I know . She is always ready to help and fiends what is needed.
I didn't like the way the clinic treated me. I was subjected to treatment without any prior consultation. I only saw the doctor they recommended once after insisting on it. And he acknowledged that the treatment I was being given was not appropriate.
I didn't like anything about it. They just took my money.
There is no document to show that I received treatment there. No consultation, no results, no receipt. No record of my visit to their clinic, nothing. It's not serious.

My stay at the clinic was perfect from medical treatment to kindness of the clinic staff
My stay at the clinic was perfect from medical treatment to kindness of the clinic staff. Special thanks to the doctor Ahmet Tunç Özdemir and my coordinator Alişer.
I won’t talk about the way this clinic conducts business, namely that the price starts to rise when you are already there and your passport is with the registrar, all this is nothing, if there was a result, but the result is this - Urology of this institution is completely bottom, here in the bookcomed they praised that you will have a professor, and so, a professor who, as it turned out, specializes in child circumcisions, spent at most three minutes on me when providing tests and descriptions of the disease, and two on the results and treatment prescriptions, well, okay, I think, the professor, he treats in a second, but no, I was treated, the result is zero, just zero. And you understand this: time, money and most importantly health, there are still a lot of moments, but you can close your eyes to all this, if you were cured, if you at least tried to think about it
How can I like something? What a funny questionnaire? I was not cured, what I liked was tea, it would have been a very good teahouse

About Bookimed service
You will have a professor, you will have a professor, call back two hundred times, they write - well, are you coming, are you ready? In the end, you come to no avail, everyone is interested in you until you pay the money, when you paid the money, no one cares
I liked the clinic, it corresponds to the services provided. Good specialists and staff.
I liked the quality of the medical services provided, the surgery was scheduled quickly, the doctor and medical staff were excellent!!!! The organisation from Bookimed was excellent, from finding the clinic and doctor, to helping with hotel booking and of course good translators.
About Bookimed service
Quality service, selection and search of specialists, it's always a pleasure when you need to solve an issue quickly, Bookimed to help I recommend to everyone!
After I got the address of the doctor needed, I managed to see him, but everyone was surprised by my visit. The doctor was not aware that I was going to meet him, the staff were all surprised. They were not aware of bookmed at all neither did they know the focal person who linked me with the hospital.
The doctor told me he would send a preliminary report on the patient. I never got the report. Please let me know what happened? Is it scam or something?
the medical team also the best and helpful group of doctors in the hospital and it is good international hospital in istanbul turkey
thank you very much

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.
