Thanks a lot to the great team!
I had to do an operation of the fracture of my little finger that happened during vacation in the South of Turkey. The organization was supported by Alisher Durdiyev and was very quick and helpful, even during the late evening. The surgery could be organized very quickly, the doctor Levent Yalcin, one of the rare hand surgeons, was extremely good, could incorporate my wishes and I was back with my family very quickly. The teams of nurses and doctors in the hospital was very good. Thanks a lot to the great team!

In my situation, this care truly gave me hope again
I came to Istanbul for intensive medical care with a complex case involving multiple conditions. Thanks to Bookimed and my French-speaking coordinator Fidan and her colleague, everything was organized flawlessly. They truly went above and beyond, adapting my care to my evolving needs with great responsiveness and compassion. From the moment I arrived at Florence Nightingale Hospital, everything was handled with remarkable efficiency: I consulted 7 specialist professors in one day, followed by comprehensive tests (full-body MRI, CT scan, EMG, blood tests) over the next few days. In less than a week, I had a complete diagnosis and all treatments in place. The medical team is exceptionally professional — both highly skilled and genuinely caring. Each professor took the time to explain the results and treatment options. I now receive monthly follow-ups with my specialists. The service goes far beyond medical care: the hospital provides daily transportation for appointments, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation sessions. In France, I would have waited months just to get a first specialist appointment. Here, everything was done within days. I highly recommend Bookimed and Florence Nightingale Hospital without hesitation. In my situation, this care truly gave me hope again.
I arrived with a very complex and serious medical case, and I was impressed by the speed and efficiency of my care. In less than a week, I consulted 7 specialist professors, all necessary tests were completed (full-body MRI, CT, EMG, comprehensive blood work), and my treatments are now in place with monthly follow-ups by the professors. On top of that, the hospital provides daily transport for all my treatments: physiotherapy, rehabilitation, etc. An incredible service. Florence Nightingale is an excellent facility in every respect, both medically and humanly.
Apart from my visceral fear of needles, honestly, nothing. I even have a dedicated French-speaking coordinator. And a terrace café to enjoy a cappuccino in the sun inside the hospital. I have never been taken care of this well in my life.
About Bookimed service
Bookimed gave me access to excellent medical care in Istanbul that I could never have obtained so quickly in France. The compassionate support from Fidan and her team made all the difference at a time when I was feeling particularly vulnerable. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Qualifications

Dr. Abdullah Eren is a professor of orthopedic surgery at Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital. He developed a new technique for modified Salter osteotomy. This surgical method eliminates the use of pins for internal fixation when treating hip dysplasia. Because it removes the need for hardware, this technique reduces the risk of complications related to pins.

Clinical Specialization and Techniques

Dr. Eren treats pediatric orthopedic conditions and performs adult hip surgery. He focuses on conditions like Perthes disease — a rare childhood condition where the blood supply to the hip bone is interrupted. The doctor also treats pediatric trauma and injuries. Additionally, he performs Ilizarov surgery to correct bone deformities and lengthen limbs through external fixation.

He also treats various orthopedic conditions:

  • Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)
  • Osteoarthritis and arthrosis
  • Meniscus tears and hip fractures
  • Valgus deformity
  • Bone and joint injuries

The specialist performs procedures including total hip replacement for dysplasia and revision arthroplasty. He uses knee and hip arthroscopy to perform joint treatments through small incisions. Furthermore, Dr. Eren performs vertebral plastic surgery to stabilize spinal fractures. He also provides ankle joint replacements for patients with severe joint damage.
