Everyone at the medical center was so kind and helpful. The surgeon is just a real gentleman and a great person, as is the whole team; they all tried to help and support me at all times. So I would confidently recommend them to anyone without exception.

Well I have just returned from Istanbul after my gastric reduction surgery and I can say that the service there is top notch. All the staff we interacted with were just wonderful. The surgeon worked wonderfully and was always on call, as was the dietician. The WhatsApp group was also very helpful because honestly, I didn't always understand everything and often asked questions.

I had gastric reduction surgery because I couldn't handle losing weight on my own. All the staff at Novemed were just wonderful. They gave me detailed information on how the process would go and the steps to take before surgery. And after the surgery, the excellent team of dietitians explained all the details to me. The surgeon, Dr. Mohammed Zubair Uchunju, was amazing. He supported me, monitored my condition and was always up to date with everything that was going on.

This is a wonderful clinic for gastric surgery. I flew in from the UK to have gastric reduction surgery. Everything was organized to the highest standard. The staff were very friendly. Dr. Muhammed Zubair Ucuncu proved to be a professional and caring doctor. The hotel where I stayed was lovely and the clinic staff impressed me with their attention and patient care.

I underwent gastric reduction surgery two days ago and I can say I wish I had done it sooner! Everyone was so kind and relieved me of all my worries and concerns. Rosa was a pleasure to talk to and when I traveled to Turkey from the UK, I knew I could trust Novemed completely. The nurses were fantastic, always willing to help and care. Dr. Muhammed was fantastic and I recommend him to everyone without a doubt! Thank you so much to them!
