Clinic: Memorial Sisli Hospital

Diagnosis: Dermatology

Thank you very much to Natalia and Memorial Clinic, and especially to Prof. Necmettin Akdeniz. Wonderful, responsive doctor dermatologist, who not only knows his business perfectly, but also helps people to save money without prescribing unnecessary unnecessary tests and procedures!!!!!. Now all medicine has turned into a business, pumping out money, but thanks to this wonderful doctor and coordinator Natalia, I realized that there are still good professionals in the world!!!!. To compare the diagnosis, I compared several doctors and hospitals. I will leave a very bad review from me personally here about Medipol clinic in Istanbul, this is a place where they just stupidly make false diagnoses and make money from you! Good health to all!

Diagnosis: Elbow fracture

As a foreigner from the USA, I can say that at this hospital I was received and cared for at the highest level. I fell and broke my elbow. Upon arrival at the hospital, I was immediately assigned a translator who accompanied me through every stage: orthopedic consultation, X-ray, CT, follow-up consultation and casting.

I received medical care of the same level as in the USA, but without the bureaucracy. In the emergency department the entire process took only three hours, and the total cost was 1638 US dollars. I was given a copy of the CT results, and a few days later the translator sent an official written report.

Almost two weeks later, my translator arranged a follow-up visit, and the hospital even paid for my return transport. Honestly, even in the USA I have never experienced such attentive treatment and such high-quality support after an emergency. Thank you to Abdulhamid — my wonderful translator, who also works in the oncology department. I was very lucky to be under his care and guidance.

Diagnosis: Preventive check-up

Today I had a very good experience undergoing a comprehensive medical examination. My translator Ede, as well as all the doctors, nurses and technical specialists who helped me, were simply wonderful.

I especially appreciate how friendly the staff were while strictly observing medical standards. For example, when I thought a stress test was unnecessary, it was explained to me that it had to be performed not because it was part of the package, but because the professional approach to my health required it.

When some lab values turned out to be outside the normal range, I was able to discuss the results in detail with specialists who gave me practical recommendations. It was wonderful!

My only remark is that the names of the examination packages are too similar to each other, so it is easy to get confused about which services belong to which package. But this is easy to fix and it absolutely does not overshadow the high level of medical care that I received.

Diagnosis: Post-stroke rehabilitation

After a 35-day medical journey at Memorial Hospital Istanbul during the holy month of Ramadan, we are leaving with hearts full of gratitude. This hospital truly became a second family to us.

Our stay was dedicated to my father’s rehabilitation after a stroke, mainly to restoring his ability to walk.

First of all, I want to thank the people who made everything possible: the administrative coordinator Mr. Khalid and the hospital manager Mr. Kaan (Kenan) for their outstanding support and professionalism.

I also express my deep gratitude to all the physical therapy specialists for their enormous contribution to my father’s recovery, as well as to all the doctors and nurses under the guidance of Ms. Ilaf for their exceptional care.

Thank you to all the technical and administrative staff — in this difficult time you became our main support.

Diagnosis: Prostate surgery

My husband had surgery at the clinic with Professor Murat Binbay. The operation was performed by the professor using the Da Vinci Single Port robot.

We were discharged from the clinic two days after the operation. Rehabilitation went very easily. Already on the second day after discharge my husband walked 7000 steps, and on the third day — 10000 steps.

Thanks to the professor and the Da Vinci Single Port robot, everything went practically painlessly. May Allah grant health and prosperity to Professor Murat Binbay and the Memorial clinic.

I accompanied my mother during the operation. The care at the hospital and the organization of the surgical process were among the best I have ever seen. They can serve as an example for the whole world.

Special thanks to the neurosurgeons: Professor Kaynar, Professor Hanymoglu, Professor Serkan Kitis, the nurses and the medical staff of Memorial Şişli Hospital, building B, 3rd floor.

Huge thanks to our coordinators Arbnor, as well as to the translators Aysun and Neyra, thanks to whom we felt at home.

I wholeheartedly recommend this hospital.

They conduct the entire process very carefully, using a scientific approach. Thanks to their kindness, attentive attitude and professionalism, these doctors inspire trust and achieve high results.

Diagnosis: Breast examination

I want to express my huge gratitude to Dr. Sechkin, his assistant, as well as to the mammography and ultrasound diagnostics staff.

Everyone was very attentive and friendly. It has been a long time since I received such a level of service at a hospital.

The only problem is the parking and its cost. When you already pay quite serious sums for medical services, the need to additionally pay for parking seems to me not entirely logical.

Diagnosis: Oncological disease

At this hospital, my husband’s sister was treated in the oncology department, and we visited her every day for several months.

Pros:

A new beautiful hospital with good equipment. However, it has no CT scanner of its own — patients are taken by ambulance to another hospital by arrangement.

Good wards: TV, amenities, almost like a hotel. There is a kettle, a fridge, tea and coffee are provided. You can choose a dinner option. The ward has a sofa for a companion, visits are practically unrestricted.

Strong oncologists and an excellent department dealing with punctures and removal of fluid from the abdominal cavity.

Cons:

The oncology department is overcrowded. Even with a ticket for 15:00, you can only get an appointment at 17:00. This happened regularly in recent months. It is very hard for seriously ill people to wait so long. I also noticed that patients with translators often go out of turn.

During the last week and a half of inpatient treatment on the second floor, the nurses many times could not get into the patient’s vein. In addition, we were told that blood could not be obtained, although it later turned out that the hospital had not even submitted a request.

In our case, stronger pain relief was needed, but we did not get it. On holidays there were also no specialists able to service the abdominal drainage.

If there is an opportunity to choose a ward not on the second floor, I highly recommend doing so. That is exactly where we encountered serious disorder.

Health to everyone 😊

And I wish the hospital to put the work of the nurses and the ticket system in order.

For pricing information: an oncologist consultation for Turkish citizens is 2500 lira, the procedure for removing fluid from the abdominal cavity is 15000 lira, hospitalization is about 2500 lira per day.

Diagnosis: Rare chronic disease

The best hospital in Antalya for both children and adults. I have a condition that was ignored for years in other hospitals — both in Turkey and abroad. Here it was finally diagnosed and they are doing everything possible to help me control the disease and restore my health.

Yes, the prices are a little high, but that is exactly why it is a private hospital. I prefer to pay a little more than to face rude treatment and lack of attention in public hospitals.

There is only one remark: the cashier in the cafeteria (the woman who usually sits on the right) is very rude.

My respected Professor Ahmet Turan Aydin from the orthopedic department of Memorial Antalya Hospital performed surgery on my right knee, which was in a very problematic condition.

The operation was extremely complex, since it should have been done at least ten years earlier. Nevertheless, my professor and his team successfully carried out the intervention and achieved a positive result.

With respect, I thank them. Huge thanks to Professor Ahmet Turan Aydin, to whom you can safely entrust your treatment in the field of orthopedics.

I was very satisfied with Professor Koray. However, the prices are really very high, additional medical insurance is not accepted, and the meal menu was composed very unprofessionally.

I asked whether you have a dietitian, and I was told that you do. But how can a dietitian work at such a hospital, composing a menu so that in one meal rice pilaf and a milk rice dessert are served at the same time?

That said, the hospital was clean.

The translator was named Kubra, and for her there were no unsolvable tasks. The operating doctor was Murat Baloglu. Both provided excellent service.

I would recommend this hospital and its wonderful staff to everyone.

Preparation of eggs. The patient undergoes ovarian stimulation with hormone therapy to obtain multiple mature eggs. The eggs are then removed from the ovaries by puncture.
Sperm collection from a man. This can be done naturally or microsurgically.
Fertilization of eggs by ICSI. The best spermatozoa are selected in the laboratory under a microscope. The sperm is then injected into the egg using a microscopic needle.
Cultivation of embryos. Fertilized eggs are placed in a special incubator with optimal conditions for temperature, humidity, and gas composition. The embryologist controls the quality and speed of embryo development for several days (usually 3-5 days). Cultivation of embryos provides optimal conditions for their development to the stage when they are ready for transfer to the uterus of a woman.
Transfer of embryos into the uterus of a woman. This happens with the help of a thin catheter, which delivers one or more embryos (usually no more than two) through the cervix into the uterine cavity. The procedure does not require anesthesia and takes a few minutes. The remaining quality embryos can be frozen for future attempts.
Maintenance of pregnancy. After the embryo transfer, the woman is prescribed hormonal support (progesterone), which promotes the implantation of the embryo in the uterus and prevents miscarriage. 10-14 days after the transfer, a pregnancy test is done (blood test for HCG).

ICSI is an effective method for overcoming fertility problems such as lack of spermatozoa or lack of sperm motility.

What modern methods of diagnosing patients with oncology are used at Sisli Memorial?

Sisli Memorial: CT Modern diagnostic methods to detect and evaluate oncological diseases are used in Memorial Hospital. The most relevant include:

Computed tomography. Scanning is used to obtain detailed images of internal organs and tissues in order to detect tumors and evaluate their size, distribution, and characteristics.
Magnetic resonance imaging. It allows to get detailed 3D images of organs and tissues using magnetic fields and radio waves.
Positron emission tomography. This is a modern diagnostic method that combines two technologies: PET and CT. It has high sensitivity and specificity, making it a valuable tool for diagnosing and staging various types of cancer. PET-CT allows to more accurately determine the radiological characteristics of the tumor, which helps to create an effective treatment regimen.
Biopsy. During this procedure, tissue samples for further cytological and histological examination under a microscope or using other laboratory methods are taken.
Genetic testing. It is performed to detect a hereditary predisposition to cancer or to identify mutations associated with certain types of cancer. This helps in the individualization of treatment and the development of personalized approaches using targeted and immune therapies.
A blood test for tumor markers is a diagnostic method that measures the level of specific proteins or genes in the blood that are associated with certain types of cancer. A blood test for tumor markers can help detect cancer at an early stage or evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.

Sisli Memorial employs experienced neurosurgeons who specialize in various types of brain tumors such as gliomas, meningiomas, acoustic neuromas, pituitary tumors, and others.

To remove brain tumors, advanced methods, and technologies are used in Memorial Sisli Hospital:

Navigation system StealthStation S8, which allows to accurately determine the location and size of the tumor, as well as monitor the progress of the operation in real-time.
Leica M530 OHX microscope, which provides high image quality and the illumination of the surgical field and also allows the use of fluorescent diagnostics for more complete removal of tumor tissue.
Ultrasonic aspirator Sonoca 300, which effectively destroys and removes tumor tissue with minimal damage to surrounding structures.
Intraoperative monitoring of neurophysiological functions (IONM), which allows assessing the state of nerve structures and functions during surgery and preventing possible disorders.
The Perfexion Gamma Knife radiosurgical system, which is used for radiation treatment of small or hard-to-reach brain tumors without skull resection.

Removal of brain tumors in Memorial Hospital is performed under general anesthesia and requires preliminary diagnosis and preparation. The duration of the operation depends on the type, size, and location of the tumor, as well as on the treatment method chosen.

After the operation, the patient is in intensive care or intensive care under constant medical supervision. Recovery after the removal of brain tumors can take from several days to several months, depending on the individual characteristics of the patient and possible complications.

How is lens replacement performed at Sisli Memorial Hospital?

Sisli Memorial: replacement of the lens of the eye Lens replacement is performed to correct a cataract, which is a change in the transparency of the eye’s natural lens.

At Memorial Hospital, lens replacement is carried out using modern technologies, such as:

phacoemulsification is a method, in which the lens is destroyed by ultrasound and removed through a micro-incision;
laser femtosecond cataract surgery is a method, in which all stages of the operation are performed using a laser.

After the lens is removed, an artificial intraocular lens is implanted into the eye, which replaces the function of the natural lens.

The incision in the cornea is usually made in such a way that it does not require sutures to close the wound at the end of the operation. This promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of complications.

Lens replacement at Sisli Memorial Hospital is performed under local anesthesia and lasts about 15-20 minutes. Recovery after lens replacement can take from several days to several weeks, depending on the individual patient and possible complications.
