Clinic: American Hospital
Diagnosis: neurology
Well, the prices are certainly higher than in other Turkish clinics. But medicine is top notch. I was treated with a drug from America, which is only available in this clinic. I found it Only here. Treatment turned out to be a little more expensive than planned. But now I feel much better.

Clinic: American Hospital
Diagnosis: oncological examination
We brought our father here for further examination. The oncologist Kerim Kaban was engaged in us – a wonderful doctor. The hospital is small, but there is almost everything. In very rare cases, they are redirected to their second clinic – Koch. Medicine and professionalism of doctors are at the proper level. Prices are high and coordination is not very good (in particular, there is apparently a lack of translators).

Diagnosis: laser vision correction
I chose this center for laser vision correction procedure. I do not particularly trust doctors in Belarus, and even more so my eyes. My friends have already been to Turkish clinics, they said that everything here is very decent and in step with the times.
I had a very pleasant doctor, quickly won my trust and didn’t worry at all 🙂 Everything went fine, no complications. The price did not bite much, so on all fronts there are only pluses, I also got on vacation by chance.

Diagnosis: Hip endoprosthetics
A couple of months ago, my husband had a hip replacement. In Kyiv, 3 orthopedists were contacted – everyone said that there were few chances for a successful operation. The case is severe, and soon he will not be able to walk. Well-known friends recommended the American Hastanesi clinic. After the operation, he quickly recovered. The husband has already returned to work, plays with the child, came to life directly. No pain, swelling was a couple of weeks. Thanks again for your help.

Clinic: American Hospital
Diagnosis: childbirth
Good hospital. All liked it. Everything is on the level. But it’s better not to get sick!
Of the shortcomings – not all employees speak English and queues for tests.
I gave birth in this hospital to my second child via caesarean section.
During the 1st visit, the doctor and the anesthetist talked to me. Apparently, such a procedure is necessary in advance. I looked at the questionnaire, clarified about allergies and the experience of anesthesia. The doctor’s English is good, everything is clear.
On the day of the operation, I also came to the operating room (-2nd floor).
In the pre-operative room, they give you a change of clothes. Wear a name bracelet. The receiving doctor fills out the questionnaire again with words. English speaking doctor. Once again, the anesthesiologist and, in fact, the operating doctor comes to say hello.
All clothes and belongings are packed in a safe on wheels, locked with a key. The key is taken by the security officer. After the operation, all things are brought to the recovery room in a white bag.
The postoperative ward reminded me very much of the one in which I was in the USA after giving birth.
A nurse comes to the discharge with a chair on wheels. They take you to the sidewalk in a wheelchair. That is, you can immediately in the car or in a taxi.
The impression from the hospital was the most pleasant. There were no misunderstandings or overlays. The level of everything, both personnel and equipment, as far as I can judge as a non-medic, is high.
I won’t tell you the cost of the stay, since I included in the cost of the operation. I didn’t find any info on the website either. But you can email me for clarification if needed.

What modern operations to restore vision are performed at American Hospital in Istanbul?
The Department of Laser Vision Correction performs various modern surgeries for vision correction, including:
- LASEK (laser epithelial keratomileusis). An excimer laser to remove a thin layer of the epithelium (top layer) of the cornea before correcting its shape is used during the LASEK procedure. After removing the epithelium, the laser reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors.
- Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Evaporation (ablation) of the surface layer of the cornea of the eye using an excimer laser allows you to change the curvature of the outer surface of the cornea. This leads to the desired refractive effect.
- IOL implantation (intraocular lens). This is an operation to install an artificial lens. The procedure allows to correct vision for various refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism) or treat cataracts.
- LASIK (laser keratomileusis). This is one of the most popular and safe types of refractive eye surgery. In the LASIK procedure, a thin flap of the cornea is created, lifted up, and then a laser reshapes the cornea to correct vision. After that, the flap is returned to its place. LASIK can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
These are just some of the vision correction surgeries that are performed at the medical center.

- glaucoma: increased intraocular pressure, which can damage the optic nerve and lead to loss of vision;
- retinal degeneration: a progressive condition that results in damage to the macula (central area of the retina) and reduced central vision;
- refractive errors: nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hypermetropia) and astigmatism, which lead to blurred or distorted vision;
