I was treated here like royalty
My whole family against me coming to turkey for this operation from the Us they were very scared and I was a little nervous as well . Wish they could have come and seen how I was treated here like royalty . Hate to admit it but would have never got this kind of service in US. I think everyone here that was involved doctors nurses interpreters drivers and sure left some out behind the scenes. Would definitely recommend and come back again

This was my first experience and if ever need be would recommend and use again
"Bookimed coordinator Aleksey Karaganov is a very caring and highly qualified specialist who helped with the consultation and discussion of the diagnosis
She sent for PET / CT revision made at the Korean clinic Severance Hospital, because Severance made a very dubious short description, more like an unsubscribing. I chose Liv Hospital, assistant Bookimed Alexei and assistant Liv Hospital Lala all organized perfectly, data exchange by e-mail, payment at a reasonable price, three days and the description is ready, done well, in detail and clearly. Bookimed coordinator Aleksey Karaganov is a very caring and highly qualified specialist who helped with the consultation and discussion of the diagnosis.

We felt fully confident knowing we were in the hands of one of the best in his field
World-Class Neurosurgical Care and Compassion
We are profoundly grateful for the exceptional care provided by Professor Ilhan Elmaci. His expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach were evident from our very first meeting. Professor Elmaci performed the surgery to remove a medulloblastoma with extraordinary precision and care, and we felt fully confident knowing we were in the hands of one of the best in his field. Beyond his remarkable surgical skill, Professor Elmaci took the time to explain each step of the process with clarity and patience. He was always available to answer questions and offer reassurance, treating both the patient and our family with deep empathy and respect.
A heartfelt thank you to Coordinator Alisher, who supported us at every step. He was always responsive, attentive, and truly dedicated to the patient’s well-being. From organizing the transfer and handling all special requirements to keeping the family updated and arranging medical needs, he made a difficult time much more manageable.
The hospital staff was professional, kind, and caring throughout. We deeply appreciate the high level of expertise and personal attention that made all the difference in this journey.

Excellent Support and Coordination by Bookimed
We are very thankful to Bookimed for their outstanding support in organizing the entire process of surgery and treatment. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and truly dedicated to helping us find the best medical care possible.
They guided us through every step — from selecting the right hospital and specialist to arranging the logistics of travel, appointments, and treatment. Thanks to Bookimed, we were connected with Professor Ilhan Elmaci, an exceptional neurosurgeon, and received world-class care.
A special thanks to Coordinator Alisher, who was with us every step of the way. He handled all the details, ensured smooth communication between the hospital and our family, and made sure the patient’s needs were fully met. His commitment, compassion, and constant availability gave us comfort and confidence throughout this challenging time.
We highly recommend Bookimed to anyone seeking reliable, efficient, and compassionate medical coordination. They truly made a difference in our experience.
Even though Bookimed staff was really helpful, the Carolina hospital in Poland I chose was quite disappointing. They were an hour late for their consultation. Even after the hospital said I couldn’t get a quote until I pay for consultation. After I did, they were an hour late for it. There was no one to contact to ask if the appointment was still on or cancelled and they didn’t reach out to me until after 1hr asking if I was ready for my consultation. No single apology for running behind schedule. Told them they were late and I had another appointment to catch up with, suddenly they offered to review my results offline and give me a quote since I can’t attend the consultation as if it was my fault I couldn’t attend it. I thought they couldn’t give a quote until they have a consultation. I was pissed with the unprofessionalism of the doctor/his secretary
About Bookimed service
Maria, my medical coordinator was super helpful in sourcing for different hospitals and getting quotes for me. She was able to answer my queries and quite proactive.
I can recommend, BookiMed 100% who helped navigate the process
I had a very positive experience throughout my whole journey to get surgery in BCN. I was led to Dr. Conesa who was professional, attentive, caring, and . I felt completely confident in his skills and ability.
He made himself available to speak to me at anytime before and after surgery, which was so appreciated.
The hospital care was exemplary, it was impressive how quickly I moved through the preoperative visits, blood work, X-rays, anesthesia visit etc. Post op care was great.
I had a very positive experience all the way through. I can recommend, BookiMed 100% who helped navigate the process .
About Bookimed service
They connected with through an online search and they were amazing in how well they handled my case. They had my medical information and based on this they recommended Dr. Conesa. They responded to all my requests quickly. They were the liaison between myself and Dr. Conesa which was very helpful.
We truly appreciate the support and dedication of the entire medical team
We had a very positive experience at the hospital. My father underwent surgery and we are grateful to say it was successful. The doctors and nurses were professional, attentive, and ensured he received excellent care throughout his stay. The hospital facilities were clean and well-organised, and everything went according to plan.
The only thing worth mentioning is that the total cost exceeded what we initially planned for, but overall, the quality of care and the successful outcome made it worthwhile. We truly appreciate the support and dedication of the entire medical team.
From the bottom of our hearts we would like to express our gratitude to our doctor Ilhan Elmachi and his whole team. We are from Uzbekistan and when we were diagnosed with arteriovenous malformation we realised that this is the most complicated pathology of brain neurosurgery. Our boy is only 17 years old and therefore it is understandable what grief fell on us. But thanks to the clinic manager Florence Alisher, we came across our respected doctor. The operation lasted 17 hours. Two days later our boy was already in the ward. 15 days later we were home. Our boy is healthy Ilhan Elmachi is a high professional. THANK YOU for the sensitive and caring attitude to us doctor and his team and nurses They brought our boy back to life. Such people are like stars in the desert gave us hope. All health and success in science. May Allah protect you.
We would strongly recommend this team to any foreigner visiting Turkey for treatment
I landed on Bookimed while searching for further treatment.. One Dr.Hilal got in touch with me and guided me through the different options available to us. We eventually settled on Florence nightingale hospital and immediately got in touch with Alişer, who walked with us through our preparation and arrival in Turkey as well as the hospital visits. He was kind enough to guide us on what was expected and was always available even at odd hours . The doctors at the Hosp led by Prof Elle and Prof Yusef, treated us with utmost professionalism. They calmly guided us through the process and made us understand what we are dealing with. They were not quick to rush into any interventions.. we felt very safe in their hands. A special thanks to Simaza our interpreter, you are a wonderful human being. Blessings lady. To The Professors, all medical professionals at the hospital, we are grateful. Hilal, Alişer and Simaza you the best. We would strongly recommend this team to any foreigner visiting Turkey for treatment..
we were happy! Blessings

If in your country it’s hard to find experience with complex medical cases, the best and most reliable choice is Florence Nightingale Hospital
Our heartfelt thanks to Florence Nightingale Hospital
My wife and I would like to share our sincere gratitude to the clinic and its amazing staff.
First of all, a huge thank you to our coordinator Alisher. He organized everything — hotels, transfers, and all the logistics — at the highest level. Everything was perfectly arranged. We are truly grateful for his care and professionalism. He was always by our side, and even when we were back home in Latvia, he stayed in touch and supported us every step of the way.
The attitude and professionalism of the doctors and medical staff were outstanding.
As for the treatment — my diagnosis was a brain tumor located in a very delicate and complex area where surgery is extremely challenging.
They managed to remove almost everything! The operation was performed by Professor Ilham Elmaci, a brilliant and highly experienced surgeon, together with his exceptional team. They did an amazing job.
What impressed us most was how seriously the whole team approached their work — every morning, even on weekends, almost the entire medical team came to check on me.
We would also like to thank Dr. Azat Mustafayev, a wonderful doctor who truly understands his patients and is always available and supportive.
And, of course, our special thanks to all the nurses and medical staff who cared for me, helped me, and patiently put up with me! 😂

He really did a great job with helping me understand and setting up everything as much as possible to enable me to have as much of a successful productive visit as I could, which I very much appreciate
I had some logistical problems leading up to my arrival, but i got great help from translator whom helped me throughout my stay, with translations as well as guiding me through the stepps by Wassim. He really did a great job with helping me understand and setting up everything as much as possible to enable me to have as much of a successful productive visit as I could, which I very much appreciate. The coordinator at the location also did a good job of trying to piece together a solution as we tried to find out if I could see some specific doctors whilst i was there which im thankful for.
About Bookimed service
If I have to use my critical eye, I would say, maybe outline the importance of having all the documents of MRI and scans available and underscore the importance of certain time frames when it comes to meeting certain doctors as some can be very busy if one meeting is missed.. And also maybe get all the information from the manager to the local manager about case, because I for example had a problem earlier with getting diagnosed, and would like to give that information to the local manager that earlier, I have had problems with that exact step, so we know to check extra well to see how we can get around finding a solution to my problem with that in mind, knowing it can be hard to find a diagnose, and to be a little extra prepared to navigate this problem.
the staff, the surgeon, and the clinic were exemplary
The procedure went smoothly. However, the representatives initially quoted a price, and upon my arrival, I had to pay a different amount than what had been communicated to me. Aside from this, everything went well: the staff, the surgeon, and the clinic were exemplary.

Благодарим на лекарите, които поеха нашия случай, тъй като беше доста сложен
Имахме доста сериозно образование АВМ за което намерихме лечението в клиниката. Тъй като резултатът изисква време, все още не можем да преценим дали е било успешно лечението, но за сега всичко ни хареса. Надяваме се, че ще получим позитивен финален резултат без сериозни странични ефекти. Ще проследяваме състоянието след лечението в клиниката. Благодарим на лекарите, които поеха нашия случай, тъй като беше доста сложен, а също и на Алишер, който помогна с организацията на лечението.
Отношението на докторите
Медицински персонал, освоен докторите не иска много да говори на английски.
Thank you for your care, support and quality treatment!
We are extremely satisfied with everything: from the first consultation to the last visit. I was also impressed with the attitude of the hospital staff - not only with their high professionalism, but also with their sincere sensitivity and attention to patients.
Thank you for your care, support and quality treatment!
