Hello, this is the first time I have been examined at this clinic. I want to say that the ophthalmologist explained everything in a very friendly and intelligible way. He really knows his job. After examination, I received a recommendation from the doctor. I would like to come back next year again.

Diagnosis: Heart valve replacement
Let someone say that heart valve replacement is already an ordinary operation.
But knowing the cases when it ended with serious complications, I decided to play it safe and chose a clinic with an excellent reputation – Yeditepe University Hospital. The hospital itself is located on a pretty territory, with a small garden. This, of course, is my subjective opinion, but according to the quality of the operation and the care of hospital staf, I really appreciated the staff working there.

Clinic: Yeditepe University Hospital
Diagnosis: Hip replacement
Hip replacement is a very difficult operation, specially when you are 55 years old. However, my daughter said that I had nothing to fear at Yeditepe Hospital. She accopmanied my in this hospital. It was pleasantly surprised that we were met there and taken directly to the hospital. We were even assigned an escort, or rather a coordinator. After taking all the necessary pictures and passing the necessary tests, I underwent the operation. But I cannot say that rehabilitation was as difficult as I expected. After all, literally after 2 weeks I was able to move around calmly. My daughter was very happy that I recovered so fast. And what?! You also need to play with your grandchildren!
