I’m so very glad I had the best doctor and best care
My arrival at Istanbul airport was smooth and efficient. I was met and transported to my hotel. My hotel was lovely. Transportation from hotel to hospitals on time and efficient. I met my advocate at international patient area, she had everything under control, all tests lined up and doctor appointments were fabulous. My advocate translated to my language at every appointment. I’m very happy with the service and I felt very “looked after”. My outcome is excellent and I’m so very glad I had the best doctor and best care.

He is the one that made this journey an amazing, wonderful, magnificent adventure
Starting from the beginning. My international coordinator maurice did an amazing job in getting me the best doctor i needed for my procedure. Traveling to turkey 🇹🇷 was an incredible experience very excited. At memorial sisli hospital my local coordinator fatiha was very forthcoming with all the details, took care of everything. Then my translators Mohamed and beyza also very helpful and professionals great job helping me understand exactly what was being said. Last but not least. The most important part of the experience. Doctor.. Mustafa akarcay. He is the one that made this journey an amazing, wonderful, magnificent adventure. The doctor is top notch, did a wonderful job. Thak y you doctor Mustafa again am so happy with the results. Will recommend him to anyone who is considering plastic surgeron in Istanbul or anywhere in the world. Blessed and happy .

I honestly had an amazing experience
Having breast reduction and uplift surgery is something that I had wanted for numerous years but due to underlying health conditions I knew it wouldn't be straight forward. When I eventually made the decision I couldn't have made a better decision. From the initial contact and liason s from Bookimed to the transfers, hotel, hospital tests, surgery and post surgery support was more than I could have asked for. The interpreter Bayza was exceptional and made me feel relaxed throughout the process. The hospital staff and especially my surgeon Dr Kadriye who was so friendly and professional throughout. I honestly had an amazing experience. All my health issues were taken very seriously and accommodated for by giving me the relevant tests and aftercare. I would advise from my personal experience to take clothes that button or unzip after surgery .And my must have item would be my neck cushion that I took with me for after surgery for when you have to sleep upright. Memorial Sisli was outstanding. And I am so happy with outcome. Thankyou all . The photos were from the morning of surgery and the 7th day after.
The reassurance,confidence, understanding and professionalism of surgeon. And of course the outcome!
The food on the ward.

The professionalism of surgeons and medical staff are at the best level! ❤️
24/7 support and assistance, namely: quick answers to all questions, loyal attitude and solution of all unforeseen needs that were not stipulated in the planning. The hospital service, the professionalism of surgeons and medical staff are at the best level! ❤️
Hospital service, competence of doctors and medical staff, support at all levels and on all issues
When preparing for a planned operation, it is necessary to consult specialised specialists at your own expense to evaluate the results of tests and to further determine whether the operation can be performed according to medical indicators. In addition, in the postoperative period, to determine the patient's condition, exclude the risk of infection, etc. - tests and consultations are paid for. And only with a separate agreement with the marketing department, some of them can be taken into account as planned.
