In general, I can safely recommend this clinic for such procedures, the attending doctor and Bookimrd service

My impressions of the trip were extremely positive. From the organisation of the trip with the manager Ekaterina, to the transfer to the airport. I had the operation on the day of my arrival. I was accompanied by an interpreter at all stages. The procedure itself was quick and painless. The attending doctor Dr İBRAHİM YAŞAR was very pleased. Competent specialist, pleasant and communicative. After the operation I had two more days for recovery. The ward was very comfortable and clean, the staff was friendly and attentive. 3 meals a day. In general, I can safely recommend this clinic for such procedures, the attending doctor and Bookimrd service.

Competence of doctors, attentiveness of staff. Work of the interpreter. Quick solution of all organisational issues.

Slight delay in receiving invoices and documentation. Minor errors in completion.

Thank you very much for everything went well and smoothly

I was worried about the organisation of laser correction because I had never been to Turkey and did not know how to get it done. Thanks to Bukimed and the operator Catherine, I was able to get reliable information about the clinic and have the operation. Thank you very much for everything went well and smoothly.

I planned the trip on my own, buying into advertising, and specially came from another country. There were few patients, but the service was very slow; I waited for an hour at each office. I went in at 10 am, left at 4:30 pm, and had an appointment with the doctors in advance + I adjusted to their schedule due to their travel. The service is disgusting, the staff is indifferent and I had to raise my voice several times to get attention. I paid over $1000 to wait for hours (!) and left with mixed feelings

Qualifications

Prof. Dr. Aykan emphasizes the importance of regular eye examinations for early detection of glaucoma, a condition that can progress without symptoms and cause irreversible damage. He utilizes multidiode laser treatments to effectively manage glaucoma, minimizing infection risks and eliminating the need for direct eye intervention, which is particularly advantageous for patients who cannot use medication.
