I would like to sincerely thank the team that supported me during this journey
I was very well received thanks to the medical team who took care of me and the travel coordinator. I felt safe thanks to the necessities included in the package I chose (hotel + transfer to the airport). You can easily come to Istanbul alone or with friends for your medical procedures without any worries. I would like to sincerely thank the team that supported me during this journey.

They are super recommended to everyone!!!
I am extremely pleased that I chose this clinic for such an important step in my life! There is a very friendly and helpful staff, they are always there 24 by 7 and will help you with everything you need (moving around the hospital, support, bring water if you are unable to go for it yourself, make your condition as easy as possible after the operating room, help you take a shower if you need help, comb and braid you hair, they will definitely hold you senile, help you call a taxi to the airport or hotel, tell you what you can visit in Istanbul if you plan to stay there) a wonderful doctor and his assistant came every day and checked my condition, answered all the questions I asked, explained how to cope with problems if they arise. It's been 5 weeks since the operation, I have minus 12 kg and constant support from the clinic. They are super recommended to everyone!!!

The doctor and his assistant Nursima are the greatest! I'm grateful for being in their hands.
It was a mess to pay. And the hospital obliged me to pay a 10% commission over the total price (it's a hospital they should cover this commission it's not a stand at a market) this was super stressing they wanted me to pay in cash (which was impossible since a foreign card cannot cash that much money) I really would like for someone to take my case and reimburse this amount.
