Dr
Dr. Ali Vefa Öztürk was absolutely amazing. He really knows his medicine and was extremely helpful and nice to me. We had several video calls and the Dr was very clear and detailed and because Dr. Ali speaks perfect english it was so nice to be able to understand and communicate directly with the Dr and have a meaningful conversation.
Dr. Ali was always available to contact and clarify anything even on weekends and busy days and Alişer who co-ordinated everything was also always available, ready to help and organised absolutely everything. He delivered on everything we said and agreed and was always asking if I needed anything else and would ask the Dr any concerns I had.
Both Alişer and Dr. Ali really care about their patients and I know this for a fact because Dr Ali said the treatment I was asking for was unnecessary and there was no need to do any procedures, even trying to talk me out of needing anything further. However, I insisted on having the treatment anyway and we proceeded after much deliberation and only after the Dr knew that I was absolutely sure in what I wanted and understood all of the risks associated. But at no point was I pressured into doing anything I didn’t want to and it was actually quite the opposite which is in contrast to many other hospitals and Doctors who would say yes to everything and add on many extra tests and charges against my will.
This led me to trust Dr Ali and combined with his lovely personality and knowledge, and he was always so friendly and nice to me, I felt I was in very capable and safe hands. Everything was explained to me properly and Dr Ali respected my decisions and wishes and understood everything I asked.
I whole heartedly recommend both Group Florence Nightingale Hospitals and Dr. Ali Vefa Öztürk for anyone else who is looking for medical expertise and will always be thankful for the excellent help I received.
About Bookimed service
Bookimed was very easy and simple to navigate and communicate
I liked the fast process of getting an apointment
However did not get what I paid for, at least for know. Will see later.
Slow to follow up on patients results. Will wait a month for what should be max 2 days, so have had to look for second opinion and pay for that, because i cannot wait so long.
Also be aware many dont speak english, but some staff do the best they can. The clinic seems to be over booked with paitiens
The speed of getting in apointment, but it feels more like they are interested in getting patients for the money and not really help, at least not very fast
Ensuring giving the patient what is booked and paid for in advance, and be way faster

Bookimed has been helpfull allmthe way and tried to help... very professional help and with the understand of my needs
My father was too much satisfied with the Dr treatment along with rich experience the Dr behaviour was sweet with my father due which my father was much satisfied and inspired from him
My father was suffering from pulmonary related disease , after doing study about medical tourism agents. I have decided to prepare my father medical treatment in Germany by Bookimed as this agency as per my experience is the best agency in terms of organizing medical treatment for patient across the globe is the best option for everyone which i suggest for each patient . From Bookimed Dr Younus and Lydia from Talvin organise my father medical treatment in Germany, they have recommended Asklepios Hospital in Hamburg which is one of the top hospital in Germany , my father treatment was done by Dr Gunther Wiest. My father was too much satisfied with the Dr treatment along with rich experience the Dr behaviour was sweet with my father due which my father was much satisfied and inspired from him. Overall our experience with Bookimed and Dr treatment was excellent.
We contacted the clinic through the website and literally in 5-10 minutes contacted us and within 2 hours they found a doctor and sent us a transport. Everything is well organized, a good competent doctor, translators and a curator. I did not regret a single gram that they turned. Thank you all for the excellent work.
What he prescribed for us helped, it became better - this is the main thing
The doctor explained everything popularly, he told everything clearly. What he prescribed for us helped, it became better - this is the main thing. We were prescribed medications, they explained everything, I advise in principle this clinic to other people. We do not have such doctors, so we went abroad.
The consultation was a scam, We where advised that the treatment could not be carried in Tel Aviv, albeit previous communications advised it could be. A complete waste of time and expenditure.
"Thanks to Maxim and Yulia, everything was at the highest level, even 5 plus
