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 .

Can't think of anything that could possibly need improvement.

I’m very grateful
My biggest worry was that my nose would look unnatural and that the result wouldn’t live up to my expectations. Now, even though I’m still recovering, I can see that I was worrying for nothing. They removed a small bump, and the bridge of my nose is straighter, just as I’d hoped. I’d also like to mention that the tip of my nose now looks more refined. My breathing has improved too. I think ultrasonic piezorhinoplasty was the right choice. The whole team, from the staff to the surgeon, were very attentive and professional, which helped me feel at ease. I’m very grateful.
We loved everything; the organisation was top-notch. A special thank you to our coordinator, Valentina. They helped us sort everything out and were always on hand. Thank you so much 🙏🏻❗️

The surgery went well and I’m happy with the results so far
I liked my doctor and translator. The doctor had a kind and reassuring energy to him. There were two things that bothered me about the experience.One was having to wait several hours past my scheduled consultation with him after a 16 hr travel period after being brought directly to the hospital. The second was being told they may have to harvest cartilage from my ear or rib minutes before my surgery after being told they would not have to do that during the consultation. That really stressed me out. They wound up not having to do that but it made me feel like they had not prepared properly. That being said, the surgery went well and I’m happy with the results so far. I’m posting this only a week and a half from my surgery date but so far, so good.
Overall, it was saving a substantial amount of money for a good result that I liked the most. It is a great overall value.
The hotel was not so comfortable and communication could’ve been better. However, the results are what matters and given the overall price, I don’t feel like one should complain too much.
About Bookimed service
I only received a serious reply and engagement from one clinic. The others didn’t bother replying or did not reply to my questions.

The surgeon made my nose look beautiful
The only problem was with the interpreters at the hospital itself. There was supposed to be one girl, they said she was not there, then another girl came, and at the discharge there was another girl. And they took turns asking me "what did that interpreter say" or "what did that interpreter say to you". The hospital itself is very big and reading, on the first day a young man from the staff came up to the clinic and clearly by my running look understood that you need help. Good room, I was with a support group in the form of my mum, she was fed three times a day, had a place to sleep and a nice bathroom. The surgeon made my nose look beautiful, and she was unflappable, in a good way.)
