Comfortable room for the patient and the attendant (in our case) Excellent clinic, attentive and meticulous (in a good sense) doctors. The medical staff also, put all the drips, served and made all the analyses on schedule. All promptly and without unnecessary questions.

I am very satisfied and grateful for the care I received
I had a very positive experience at Anadolu Hospital in Istanbul. Everything was very well organized, and I was especially impressed by the professionalism and kindness of the assistants, the translator, and most of all, the doctors. I truly felt supported and well taken care of throughout the process. I would like to extend a special thank you to Mrs. Meriem for her exceptional assistance — her help was truly invaluable. If I may offer one small remark, it would be that the brain MRI report was a bit limited in detail. Aside from that, everything was impeccable. I am very satisfied and grateful for the care I received. Thank you again to the entire team!

The doctor from the first minute caused complete confidence
Excellent clinic. Very caring and skilled doctors. Despite the fact that I went to the gastrectomy operation alone, without an accompanying person, I did not feel for a single minute without attention and care. Thanks to my wonderful translator Elmira - she has become a real support. Special thanks to my coordinator Bakhtygul - she organized everything as comfortably and professionally as possible. The recovery room is excellent. Bright, with a beautiful view. My deep gratitude to all the staff of the surgical department (floor 1) for their kindness, attention, support, care. The doctor from the first minute caused complete confidence. I think he is a true professional and a wonderful surgeon. I definitely recommend the clinic for a competent, comprehensive examination, and for the treatment of serious problems.
