Honestly, my recovery so far has been better than expected
The price was exactly as agreed. My surgery for Turbinate reduction also included a septoplasty to straighten my septum, and fix my concha bullosa. Done under general anesthesia. Honestly, my recovery so far has been better than expected. The support has been solid; the clinic stayed in touch, and it was particularly helpful that my doctor was available to answer all of my follow-up questions. That provided a lot of reassurance. Everything really felt like a luxury first class experience. After half my life living off nasal sprays and congestion I’m now ready to live the other part of life with a nose that breathes! Just go for it. Lifes too short to put up with suffering that can be medically fixed!
Warm Doctor and staff, feels like a luxury first class experience.

The surgeon and staff were fantastic
The surgeon and staff were fantastic. I'm in the early phase of healing now; while I’m still slightly tired and my mobility is a bit reduced, I can feel myself getting stronger daily. It’s a steady process. Looking back, my only personal regret is that I wish I knew more Turkish to connect with people directly. That said, the translation provided was great and everything was communicated clearly. The whole process was handled with care.
Dorian was excellent. All the staff were great and made the experience so much more pleasant.
Dr Akdimar is the very best physician I have ever seen. He was patient and caring. He helped me deal with a complicated and stressful process. I would recommend both Dr Akdimar and Memorial to my friends and family.
I really ant imagine better are and service.

my recovery from reconstructive vaginoplasty has been much better than expected
If you're thinking about this procedure, I'd tell you that my recovery from reconstructive vaginoplasty has been much better than expected. The whole process felt very supported. It was so helpful that my surgeon took the time to explain the dilation schedule clearly, which made me feel confident about aftercare. The clinic staff have also stayed in touch since I left. Do be aware that you'll need to pay for medications you take with you from the hospital. A final tip: bring your own sanitary towels and be sure to budget extra money for travel, food, and sightseeing, as hotel stays generally only cover breakfast.
Great fast response from Bookimed very helpful information and hospital referral liliia was very helpful in giving me information and guidance

The surgeon, staff, and clinic all get a 5/5 from me
My biggest worry was the recovery itself, specifically how tired and weak I would feel. I have to say, my energy level has been better than expected for this early stage. It’s a relief. The surgeon, staff, and clinic all get a 5/5 from me. The biggest eating challenge right now is having no appetite at all, which is an adjustment when you know you need to get your liquids in. I can manage about a quarter cup per sitting, which makes sense given they removed 80-85% of my stomach. Overall, this was the right decision and I would certainly recommend this clinic.
Every Question Answered,
Always Kept Intouch,
So Helpful and Kind,
I couldnt be more comfortable with how Bookimed handle everything. They did an amazing job and any doubt or worry I had they made sure to not worry. The hospital I went to was amazing and they did everything thoroughly. The doctor assigned to me was amazing and so good. After the procedure I was allowed to go back to my hotel 2 days after. My translator Betul on the 2nd day to the day I left was amazing and so pleasant to speak to.
The English Translator on the first day was nice but very invasive and asked personal questions which he was asked not to ask and you could tell that he didnt have much experience.

To be honest, if a friend asked me, I wouldn’t recommend this treatment. It’s been 15 days, and so far the results have been rather modest — my blood sugar levels have improved slightly, but that’s about it. The clinic itself deserves high praise; everything is very modern and clean. However, the work of the doctor and staff left a mediocre impression. When I asked questions, time was limited, and I didn’t manage to ask everything I wanted to; the doctor simply said, ‘If you like, come back tomorrow.’ The consultation lasted a mere 15 minutes. The transfer services were very poorly organised, with issues regarding punctuality, constant waiting and frequent changes of interpreters. Perhaps there will be improvements to the treatment in the future. Overall, I got the impression that the hospital’s primary concern is simply making money, and everything else is of secondary importance.
