"THANK YOU with all my heart
Decided on surgery through using BOOKIMED. They helped me chose the right clinic & made initial contact for me. I chose Dr HE as due to extra research he is the most popular surgeon for bariatric surgery there is. I have lots of great things to say about the Emsey hospital ( upgraded at last minute when in Istanbul. But all was not possible without Bookimeds initial help. THANK YOU with all my heart.

All in all this was 10/10 experience and i fully recommend everyone to go to dr
The whole experience was amazing!! The doctors are very caring and attentive. Some nurses don't speak english but as long as you can use Google Translate you're good. You are sore, as expected, after the surgery but they give you plenty of painkillers. All in all this was 10/10 experience and i fully recommend everyone to go to dr. HE clinic for bariatric surgery. Update: I've added pictures of my progress below. The green dress is me at 121 kilos and the red is after 6 weeks, at 103 kilos.

"I want to specifically say thank you and your team for taking care of me before and after the surgery
A very good hospital. Very friendly team. Both the nurses, Doctors, the administrators, those cleaning and the drivers. It was so great throughout our stay there. We were treated so nicely by everyone working there. I can't mention all names. But i say a big thank you to you all. Oh Dr HE, very amazing dr i have come across in my life. I want to specifically say thank you and your team for taking care of me before and after the surgery. The surgery went well. I could walk around four hours after the OP. Today, make it one week after the surgery. I am free of pain. Once again, i say thank you and God bless you all

"The doctors and staff deserve the highest praise
The room is not large, the sofa is very small and hard for an accompanying person to sleep very badly. The air conditioner does not work well, my husband bought a fan for me, the windows do not open at all, the screws are twisted, I have not seen this before. But the doctors and staff deserve the highest praise. The people working in the clinic are always polite and attentive. The comfort is poor.
