brain surgery
I want to express my gratitude and deep bow to Experts Medical !!!!!! namely, Natalia collaborated with us, honestly you rarely meet such sincere and sympathetic people in life, but we found them on the Internet! Our daughter (2 years old) needed a complex brain surgery. We could only trust the famous doctor Memet Ozek in Istanbul. Natalia said that we will definitely get to him! Everything was organized for us on a turnkey basis (consultation, flight, accommodation, transfer, Russian-speaking translator at the clinic, and thanks to Natalia's help, the operation was fully paid for by the charity fund!!!) We didn't worry about organizational issues at all. We thought only for our daughter. The operation went well and we are now back home. We did not pay anything for the services, as many people are concerned about this issue. Trouble can knock on every home! The main thing is to know where to run for help - Experts Medical you are the best!

Professor Memet Ozek treated my mother for epilepsy. He performed the operation. Mom already feels much better and there are fewer seizures.

scaphocephaly
We went to Memet Ozek in November 2020, when my son was only 1.5 months old, with a diagnosis of scaphocephaly. He explained everything about the disease to us in detail, in a way that was understandable for us, and left the decision about the surgery to us. My son had an operation at 3 months. Now our son is 2.5 years old, he is healthy! We are very grateful to Professor Memet for this. He carefully selected all the specialists who treated our son, and each one did a very good job. From the nurses to the doctors who worked on Memet Ozek's team at the hospital. Thank you all and thank you so much for your support!

brain tumor
We live abroad. When we came to Turkey on vacation, as a result of the ophthalmologist's examination, we found out that our daughter had a brain tumor. The world collapsed. By pure chance, we got to Professor Memet Ozek. He successfully performed the operation on our daughter. Unfortunately, since the tumor is located in the canals of the eye, it can never be completely removed. The professor did everything he could for us. We are grateful to him for this and in the case of a relapse we will turn to him again.
