Cardiac Surgeons abroad

My 4 month old daughter just had an operation here at the Helios Cardiology Clinic. We were consulted by Prof. Ingo Denert. He explained everything very clearly, so we did not worry, and knew that the child was in good hands. The medical staff is very caring, it is clear that people love their work. Prices are average, there is also free Wi-Fi and offers in the cafeteria, which significantly reduces the waiting time.

A member of my family was operated on and treated at the Heart Center Leipzig. Thanks to Professor Ingo Denert - he is a true professional and trustworthy. During our stay and visit everything was clean and tidy and the staff was friendly. There is a small cafeteria at the entrance. Enough paid parking spaces.

We got a consultation with Prof. Ingo Denert about my son's diagnosis (cardiology). Everything was explained to us, and in March the child was operated on. Its OK now. We are grateful to the doctors for helping us.

My niece was in the heart center in Leipzig from April 3, 2023 to April 21, 2023 due to a heart disease and a mitral valve. The whole family was very worried, but the operation went without complications and very well. Thanks to Professor Ingo Denert.

In 2009 I flew to Tel Aviv for a heart examination. I had a coronarography, during which it became clear that I urgently needed a bypass surgery. Thanks to the staff of Ikhilov Hospital, everything was organized very quickly and I had an open heart surgery - replacement of 3 aortas. This operation was performed by a great surgeon - Dmitry Pevny. Thanks to his skill everything went very well. I do not know exactly, but I think that in our country I could not find such a specialist who would agree to do such an operation, because I still have a lot of other health problems. I recovered quickly and in three weeks I was already at home. I was discharged after seven days, but I had to stay a little longer, because it was not recommended to fly right away. Now I try to visit my doctor Dmitry Pevne once every half a year. In addition to very competent and necessary recommendations, I have a great pleasure to communicate with him. From him comes a huge wave of kindness, interest in your problems. Once again, thank him very much for everything. And, of course, thank you to all the staff of Ikhilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

In 2013 I came to have my valve checked. But after the check-up it turned out that not only the valve replacement was needed, but also the replacement of the ascending aorta. I was very worried, thinking, afraid, as I needed open-heart surgery. But, looking at my doctor, I immediately believed him and agreed. Everything was quickly formalized, they said that the operation would last 7 hours. But it was done in 4 and a bit hours. And now it's been 6.5 years. I feel good. I would like to express my great gratitude to him, I wish him health, happiness and success in life!!!! Thank you very much Dr. Pevni for a second life!!!

I was diagnosed with angina pectoris. When my wife and I went on vacation to Israel, I decided to take the opportunity to have another heart checkup. We chose the Sourasky Clinic. It turned out to be a very wise decision. The doctors found that I had a severe blockage in my artery and successfully placed a stent. If I had not decided to have this checkup, everything could have ended with a heart attack.

I have a congenital heart defect. This year I underwent cardiology treatment in Israel. Cardiologists from the Sourasky Clinic skillfully replaced my heart valve through a catheter, although in my home country I was told that open-heart surgery was the only option. Prof. Pevny performed the surgery. I am very grateful to the whole team, as well as to the post-operative care staff. It's been a few months now and I have almost fully recovered. I even continue to run in the mornings!

We made an appointment with Ahmet Yavuz Balci for my mom's mitral valve insufficiency. Earlier she was examined at Mehmet Akif Ersoy Hospital, certain examinations were done but they did not want to risk with surgery and wanted to install a stimulator, but Ahmet Balci thought the surgery was appropriate and performed a very successful surgery. We are grateful to him, he helped us to overcome this difficult process easily.

December 21, 2021

Ahmet Yavuz Balci saved my father in 2014, he had a ruptured aortic vein and brought back to life a man who was about to die. We are thankful to God for leading us to this doctor.

April 25, 2021.

I was having problems with my heart vessels and went to Ahmet Yavuz Balci about it. After angiography, I was told that I needed surgery to remove the blocked veins. I agreed to have surgery with him because both his approach and his smiling face convinced me that surgery was necessary. In that sense, I definitely consider him a great doctor. Our communication did not end after the surgery, he followed up with me continuously for 6 months. I think he did the best of what a doctor can do for his patient and I am grateful to him for that.

July 3, 2020.

According to my wishes and my condition, he performed my closed surgery in a way that I was very satisfied with. I was having problems with my heart valves and had previously seen another doctor. He referred me for surgery. When I finally met Ahmet, he said he could do a closed heart surgery on me. He performed the surgery in my armpit area. God bless him, I was very satisfied. Whenever I tried to contact him, he took care of me, provided a refund and allowed us to be satisfied in every way. I now have a doctor that I go to regularly for checkups.

July 2, 2020.

When my aortic vein was about to burst from high blood pressure, I met him quite by chance, not knowing that he was my teacher at the institute I was attending. I am glad I met him. He took me to surgery for 1.5 hours that night. While I was in shock, not realizing what had happened, I lost all hope of living. When the surgery was successful, I realized that it was thanks to Ahmet Yavuz. After the surgery, I did my research and realized that I had a very serious problem. Thank God, he was with us every step of the way, he did not refuse support, he is a good surgeon and I always pray for him. A surgeon with strong empathy, good, honest and doing his job flawlessly. He is so personable that you can sit down and talk to him about all your problems. His approach to the patient is very participative. God grant him many years of life. I always tell my children: if something happens to me, do not call an ambulance, but take me straight to my doctor.

July 1, 2020.

I went to him with a complaint of leaky heart valves. An angiography was done and it was found that my 3 veins were 85-90% occluded. I had bypass surgery, vein replacement and valve repair. From January 2008 until now, thank God, I have not had any problems thanks to Ahmet Balci. My health is good and I continue to live with my medication. God bless him, he has taken very good care of everything in this process. He is a doctor quite gentle, caring and has a good approach to the patient. For example, I was brought to my room on Friday after surgery and even though it was a Saturday off, he came and visited me. I had many cuts on my leg veins because they couldn't find a replacement vein, he even helped me with that. May Allah grant health and prosperity to our doctors so that they can heal us.

June 30, 2020.

We had an angiography with another doctor who was approached with my mom's complaint of high blood pressure and he referred us to Mr. Ahmet Yavuz for surgery. After that, the process started and we underwent heart valve surgery. After the surgery we continued with follow up, we did not have any problems. Since I don't have technical knowledge, I can't comment on this but I can say that we are very satisfied with him and thankful to him.

June 29, 2020.

We would like to thank Mustafa who performed my mother's bypass surgery and we are very pleased with him, our coordinator Merve and his team.

01/06/2024

My mom was informed that bypass shunt surgery was needed at angiography. We met Mustafa and he explained to us why she needed a bypass shunt operation. He gave us confidence with his approach. Our doctor is a wonderful person, with his friendly attitude as well as his professionalism. We would also like to thank his assistant Merve for her involvement and smile.

10/05/2024

As a result of a heart attack that my wife had suffered without realizing it, we met our doctor, Mustafa Erdogan, quite by chance. I believe it was the biggest and most beautiful coincidence that could have happened to us in our lives. At first we only went for angiography, but we learned that the problem was much more serious and bypass surgery was needed. Mustafa and his team took very good care of us. They were sincere and approachable in answering the questions we asked. Thanks to them, my spouse had a very successful surgery. She is now continuing to recover her health rapidly. Many thanks to our doctor, his team and Mrs. Merve. Thank God for you.

Mustafa Erdogan did my father's coronary bypass surgery 1 week ago, the surgery went very well and my father made a very quick recovery. We came by recommendation and we are glad we went to him specifically, we went through the process very comfortably. It's good to have doctors like this. I hope my review will help people who are looking for a doctor in a similar case, I searched a lot. Also, his assistant Merve Hanim was also very helpful, we communicated with her during the week, she answered all my questions quickly and without hesitation. Good people who are meticulous in doing their job.

16/03/2024

We met Mustafa Erdogan during my aunt's bypass surgery and he is a wonderful doctor with whom we were very lucky to have. My aunt regained her former health in a very short time, I would like to say a big thank you to him for not denying us all the support in this process, I wish him continued success.

27/02/2024

Our dear Dr. Mustafa Erdogan had bypass surgery 4 days ago, we were very happy with all the processes. His coordinator Merve Hanim was with us in all matters and we thank her for her smile and care. We are very grateful to Mustafa, our coordinator and the whole team, thank you very much, health to you and your family.

02/02/2024

We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Mustafa Bilge Erdogan and his team whom we met during my father's open heart surgery. Thank God for them. Throughout this time he never lost his enthusiasm for a minute and supported us with great patience and explanations to all our questions. It was a great relief for us to be able to reach him at any time and get an answer to anything that crossed our minds, not to mention his close attention and care during our stay in the hospital. We were discharged healthy and today is week 1, we have had all our check ups and everything is fine, thank you again for the care and attention you have shown us.

27/01/2024

My father had an angioplasty in another hospital, after which it was decided to have bypass surgery, we were looking for a doctor and turned to Mustafa Erdogan. God bless our doctor Mustafa, the bypass surgery went very well, we are glad we went to him, we have never regretted it. We were very satisfied with everything and we thank the team and the doctor specially.

19/02/2024

He examines the results professionally, explains the diagnosis in detail (most doctors do not do this). Primarily considers the patient's medical condition and guides him well. He is a doctor worthy of his title. I am confident that my surgery with him will be successful.

I was examined by many doctors in Ankara, but Dr. Cem made the most correct diagnosis. Along with his knowledge of the doctor, he values his patient, his helpful information and friendliness set him apart from others. I had the surgery, thank God, I feel very good now. I think this is one of the best doctors in Ankara, I would definitely recommend him. Thank you Dr. Cem, thank you.

Prof. Cem Yorgancioglu is always very caring, knowledgeable, respectful and humble. Thank you very much for being with us and providing treatment for my father. He can be trusted for aortic aneurysm and valve issues.

Professor, Dr. Cem Yorgancioglu is a great surgeon. In Turkey, especially in Ankara the surgical teams are the best. When I got the disease in 2017, I re-researched a lot of information, I considered public hospitals and university clinics and also private hospitals. And before my surgery, I knew 100% that he was a trustworthy cardiac surgeon who does his job the best. I confidently recommend this doctor and I hope this comment will be helpful to those who are looking for a doctor for themselves and their loved ones.

I cannot thank you enough, my dear doctor. We came to you when my wife could not walk and was in great pain. First you performed heart bypass surgery and then vein bypass surgery on our legs and allowed us to leave the hospital on our own feet. Because of your humanity, calmness, knowledge and reassuring attitude, you allowed my wife and I to get through these two surgical processes without any negative thoughts. We trusted God first and then you. May God keep you safe. We wish you good health and long life and express our respect and love to you. Ahmet Ali to Senay Buyukbaş.

Dr. Cem Yorgancioglu is a wonderful person, a good doctor and an excellent surgeon. He is the most reliable cardiac surgeon in Ankara. I recommend this doctor with confidence.

A great doctor who cares about his patient, who is always available, we moved from Ankara but he will always be my doctor.

My daughter's congenital heart defect was detected while she was still in the womb. After birth, she was in the intensive care unit. When we came for a consultation, the doctor received us warmly and explained everything about my daughter's condition in detail. At the age of 4 months, the doctor performed surgery to close the ventricular septal defect (VSD). The whole process went smoothly due to his experience, kindness and confidence in his actions. I thank God for such wonderful doctors.

02/11/2022

The doctor performed surgery to close an atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) on my 4-month-old baby. We were discharged home a week later and the baby is now healthy. Very empathetic and successful doctor, thank him thousands of times.

27/08/2021

The doctor performed surgery to correct an atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) in my 3.5 month old baby. The doctor was always on call, paying attention to the patients and answering all our questions. I recommend all parents looking for a doctor for their children to contact Dr. Khalil. He is a true angel sent to us by God.

18/08/2021

We are grateful to have met Dr. Khalil. He has performed two open heart surgeries on our daughter who suffers from congenital heart disease. We have one more surgery to go and we have confidence in Dr. Khalil. He is always friendly and caring. Thank you for everything!

21/05/2021

Dr. Halil performed my heart surgery when I was 13 years old at American Hospital. I am now 36 years old and have a child. I will never forget his kindness and professionalism. Thank you, doctor, for your wonderful treatment. Now I live abroad, but I am proud of the success of our Turkish doctors like you.

05/05/2021

We went to Dr. Khalil to treat our 18 month old son's tetrad of Fallot. The doctor explained the process in detail and supported us before and after the surgery. Thanks to his experience and skill, our son is recovering quickly. We are grateful to him for that.

24/02/2021

Dr. Halil performed transposition surgery on my son's main arteries when he was two days old. He is now 3 years old and is completely healthy. We came from Samsun and despite the negative prognosis of other doctors, Dr. Halil gave us hope. We thank him for everything.

29/12/2020

Dr. Halil performed three open heart surgeries on my son and gave him his life back. He is now 6 years old and healthy. The doctor also helped my father. I thank him and his team for their wonderful hands and professionalism.

12/01/2019

Last summer, I suddenly experienced chest pain. I was diagnosed with hypertension, but upon admission to the hospital, Dr. Azmi Ozler also discovered an angina attack. He explained the seriousness of the situation and suggested balloon valvuloplasty. Following his recommendation, I underwent balloon stenting and now feel great.

17/01/2021

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with ventricular stenosis. I tried numerous treatments, but nothing worked. This condition significantly affected my overall well-being. A friend recommended Dr. Azmi Ozler. The doctor thoroughly discussed possible solutions with me and suggested coronary artery stenting as the best option. He performed the surgery, and since then, I have felt much better, almost completely healthy.

02/03/2021

Over the past 5 years, I had two serious heart attacks. My condition worsened after the second heart attack. Dr. Azmi Ozler recommended balloon stenting for effective heart function. I decided to undergo balloon aortic valve surgery as medications were not improving my health. After the surgery, I felt much better.

22/07/2021

Outstanding doctor with a wonderfully coordinated cardiology team, including technicians and nurses. The attention and care of the hospital staff, from reception to secretaries, is top-notch. Definitely trustworthy.

21/06/2023

Thanks to Professor Dr. Azmi Ozler, I survived two successful surgeries many years ago. I always remember him with gratitude for saving my life. In 1996, he performed an ACC operation on me, and in 2010, despite a 40% risk of death, he successfully operated on me for an aortic aneurysm. Do not doubt, he is one of the best (if not the best) cardiac surgeons in Turkey. Thank you for being there, for giving health to people for many years, and for being such a wonderful doctor. You are always in my heart, Professor, and I am infinitely grateful to you.

In 1992, he replaced my mitral valve and installed a pacemaker. I am still healthy and pray for him. Above all, he is a good person.

Hello, my name is Valery, I am 54 years old, I am from Kharkiv, Ukraine. For many years I fought with arrhythmia with the help of medications, but eventually they stopped helping. After much thought, I decided to undergo radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with Dr. David Lurie, about whom I had heard many positive reviews. Everything was organized promptly: airport pick-up, accommodation, and the procedure itself at Assuta Clinic. Thanks to Dr. Lurie, I am back to normal life again. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much to the doctor for his professionalism and kind attitude. Good health and good luck to you!

I have already had an appointment with David Lurie. Now I am waiting for the ablation.

Wonderful person, excellent doctor. It was very pleasant to communicate with him. I wish him good health and happiness.

Thanks to the doctor, helped a lot of people, brought them back to life! Long live Doctor!!!!

I, my family and my friends have been undergoing cardiology follow-ups with Dr. Noori for about 12 years now. His diagnosis, treatment and explanations as well as his human and compassionate approach are commendable. He pays attention to every patient and explains everything down to the smallest detail in a way that is understandable to everyone. In short, he is the best cardiologist not only in Antalya but also in the whole Mediterranean region. May he always have good luck in his work.

27/08/2022

My father-in-law Mustafa Kemal Yildiz was admitted to the intensive care unit with complaints of chest pain. After the angiography, Dr. Nuri advised us to have bypass surgery and provided all the necessary support. From resuscitation and angiography to keeping us informed, Dr. Nouri was invaluable and always gave us all the support we needed. We express our endless gratitude to our doctor and the entire resuscitation team at Memorial Antalya Hospital.

09/06/2021

My deepest love and respect to my cardiologist, Dr. Nuri. He convinced me to undergo angiography 6 years ago and his friendliness, modesty and sincerity left no doubt that he is an excellent doctor. May God protect him in this world and the next. If you have heart problems, do not hesitate to go to him. I also express my gratitude for his attention to me before and after my brain surgery. May God bless him and the surgeons Prof. Drs. Dr. Mah. Akuyuza and Op. Dr. Cenk Ermola.

09/02/2020

I thank the cardiology specialist, Dr. Nuri Comert, for his attention to me from the very first moment to the completion of my treatment. I feel very fortunate to have chosen Memorial Hospital. On July 31, 2012, I was in Antalya for my appointment at the exact time specified and was very pleased with Dr. Nuri's professionalism, attention and friendly attitude. I would also like to thank the management of Memorial Antalya Hospital for working with such a doctor, and I would like to express my gratitude for the cleanliness of the hospital, especially the cleaning team.

01/08/2019

May God bless you...

23/08/2019

My husband was diagnosed with vascular blockage in his legs and underwent bypass surgery. The doctor's care and explanations before and after the surgery gave us confidence. Thanks to my husband's careful follow-up, he was back on his feet quickly. If I have to describe our esteemed doctor in one word, he is great.

05/05/2024

Prof. Cemal's successes do not surprise me one bit. His knowledge, experience, surgical skill and humanity are undeniable. He simultaneously performed successful bypass and carotid endarterectomy surgeries for my father. I am happy that I had the privilege to meet and work with you, Prof. Cemal.

03/05/2024

The most smiling, natural, dedicated and successful cardiac surgeon I know. Glad our paths crossed and I got to know you. You saved my life, I owe you the rest of my days.

12/07/2024

Professor, it's been six years since I've known you. You operated on my mom. You're a wonderful doctor and person! Your attitude to patients and their relatives is just great. Thank you so much to you and your family who raised you. May happiness always be with you, your beloved wife Didem and children.

18/08/2024

May God grant you long life and health. You performed the surgery on my father and we trusted you so much that we put all our hopes first on God and then on you. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done. May every patient you treat go home healthy because of your professionalism and kindness. You heal not only the hearts, but also the souls of people. The same sincere feelings apply to your wife, dear Melek Didem. May there be only flowers on your path, and no stone will touch your feet.

09/09/2024

You operated on my mom three years ago and besides your professionalism as a doctor, I was admired for your humanity and attitude towards patients and their families. We are happy to have met you, our favorite doctor.

21/04/2024

Doctor, thank you so much for everything. I wish we had been able to meet you two years earlier. Thank you for your care and your golden hands. May all your patients be as healthy as my mom was after her surgery. We trusted you completely and thanks to God's will my mom is now in good condition.

02/06/2024

Before my wife's heart surgery, we consulted with many cardiac surgeons and finally God led us to you. No one was able to explain to us the nature of the problem as clearly and concisely as you did. As it is now, I, as a relative of the patient, can say that we are in the right place. Your explanation is the key to success and the confidence you inspire. I am grateful to have you, Prof. Cemal.
