MAKO robotic 3D planning enables precise ligament balancing and joint alignment for more natural movement, using a USA-manufactured Zimmer or Stryker knee prosthesis. Dr. Olcay Guler performs this robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty at the JCI-accredited Memorial Şişli Hospital. The package costs around $14,500 and includes the MAKOplasty surgery, 4–5 nights in the service ward, and all airport-hotel-clinic transfers. The minimally invasive robotic approach minimizes bone cutting, allowing patients to stand soon after surgery.
This package uses advanced robotic MAKOplasty for enhanced precision in knee replacement surgery. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kurklu, a department head with around 30 years of orthopedic experience, performs the procedure at the multidisciplinary Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital. The cost is approximately $14,500, covering a complete diagnostic package with 3D CT scans, all surgery and hospitalization fees, and a structured 12-day recovery that includes a 5-day hospital stay followed by 7 nights of hotel accommodation.
The doctor is very competent, trustworthy, attentive, positive and charismatic
My father, 76 years old, had a knee replacement - Dr Olcay Guller. The doctor is very competent, trustworthy, attentive, positive and charismatic. This is important because my father was very worried and doubtful, but after the first meeting with the doctor he was completely reassured. All pre-operative investigations were organised quickly. Preparation for the operation and the operation itself - everything went smoothly. The next morning my dad was already walking along the corridor with the help of crutches. Nurses and nurses are attentive and friendly, no remarks. Feeding was also excellent, even a lot. I was placed in a spacious ward with a large window and air conditioning. In the bathroom everything is adapted for immobile patients, spacious barrier-free shower. On the territory of the hotel there are a couple of cafes with a good menu, Starbucks.
The internet in the hospital is quite good.
All in all it was a pleasant experience. Would recommend the hospital with a clear conscience if needed
About Bookimed service
I don't know how long I would have searched for a hospital myself if I hadn't written to Bukimed. There was hardly any free time for this, and there were many doubts about the choice.
With Bukimed everything unfolded quickly and in a couple of weeks my father was already seen by a doctor.
The clinic is probably a good one, but everything was organized very illiterate and ugly, I planned to get to a specific doctor, who eventually turned out not to receive in this clinic, nobody told me about this, I was examined, I did not need.
Mom and I done surgery in B. L. K hospital in Delhi which was amazing experience for both of us the attention and care of the doctors and the staff help to reduce the amount of pain you feel. I noticed that bookimed just introduced me to the hospital but not active and effective enough specially in my case that is why I gave it low rating and gave full mark rating to the hospital
