Verified review.
I was very satisfied by Memorial hospital's men’s essential health check-up
I was very satisfied by Memorial hospitals men’s essential health check up. Everything went very smoothly, and I feel that my concerns were addressed, and the tests were explained well. I have my results. To show my doctor back home.
Getting important medical tests that I’ve never had my life at 67 like stress test EKG, ultrasounds of my abdomen, and neck
It really can’t be helped, but that the hospital is a little far out of the center of Istanbul
