Clinic: Medicana International Hospital
Diagnosis: rhinoplasty
Good afternoon! My name is Oksana, I’ve been dreaming of having rhinoplasty for many years, but I was hesitant because I didn’t know which doctor I could trust, but recently I came across an advertisement on the Internet. And so two weeks ago I did what I had been dreaming of for half my life. I want to thank Dr. Celal Alioglu at Medicana clinic, everything went at the highest level with no pain and fast rehabilitation. Now it’s two weeks after the surgery and I feel great. I would like to note the good attitude of the medical staff and the entire team that accompanied me, I would also like to thank my coordinator Marta who was with me 27/7 and supported me.

Clinic: Medicana International Hospital
Diagnosis: Smas Lifting
Hello, I not only want, but also do not have the moral right not to leave my review about Natasha, the coordinator doctor. I needed to do a Smas lifting. This is one of the serious plastic surgeries and a good result depends on the good qualifications of the doctor. There are many surgeons in Turkey who deal with plastic surgery, when I corresponded with consultants, I felt only the monetary calculation and the speed of arrival. Once again browsing the sites, I am our Expert Medical, and I started communicating with Natasha. The more we talked, the more I realized that she was competent in all matters and had deep knowledge. She is a kind, wonderful, positive person. When choosing a doctor, she sent me the characteristics of many of the best doctors and the cost with all kinds of discounts. And I was glad to inform me that one of the best plastic surgeons, Dr. Emre, did a charity event to pay for it. During my stay at the clinic, I had many questions and Natasha solved them instantly, regardless of her free time from work, she was in touch even at 5 am and late in the evening. You don’t often see such an approach to work, such concern for people! I really want to thank your parents for raising such a wonderful Person. And to you, Natasha, from the bottom of my heart I wish you success in all your endeavors, health and prosperity to you and your family for many years to come!

I was delighted to work with Natalia! She was in touch with me from the first to the last moment. Natalia promptly answered all my questions and gave me complete information about different methods of treatment. She picked the best prices for me from qualified doctors. Natalia is always ready for dialogue, and her work exceeds all expectations. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for help choosing doctors in Istanbul! I felt very comfortable while interacting with her. Although I did not know her personally and communicated with her by messages and sometimes by phone, it seemed to me that we were old friends. Natalia is very charming and professional in her field.

Diagnosis: IVF
I addressed to the Medicana hospital. The translator met me, so there are no language barriers. The first time I signed up for a consultation with a gynecologist-reproductologist Selman Lacinu. He wins someone’s favour immediately. He is very neat in inspection. He offers a variety of treatment options based on your wishes and material capabilities. Very competent doctor! After consultation with him, I immediately decided on IVF. We arrived with my spouse on the next day. The professor himself conducts the whole cycle. All staff is very attentive, sensitive, and friendly. I was very pleased and recommend this hospital to everyone!!!

The level and quality of medicine are high. The wards are very comfortable and cozy.
