Layla was wonderful, informative and knowledgeable. She made it clear that she would organize and coordinate all necessary examinations recommended by Dr. Binbay. She understood that I had very limited time due to travel and accommodated all my needs. Thank you. Erik.

During one of the most difficult and frightening periods of my life, I met Professor Murat. Since I only have one kidney, the operation was a serious source of concern for me. After the very first meeting, his knowledge, calmness, and ability to reassure a patient eased my anxieties.

Kidney Tumor
After consulting with several doctors, I accidentally found Mr. Murat while searching online for information about my illness. From the moment I told him about my situation, he said with such confidence and calmness, “I will handle this,” that I stopped thinking about all other opinions and anxieties. Thanks to his warm smile and realistic approach, I quickly made a decision and agreed to the surgery.
Our doctor removed the tumor from my kidney using “robotic surgery” and, as he promised, rid me of this disease with minimal pain. An amazing method! As he said beforehand, exactly one week after the operation, I could walk completely normally. It has now been 11 days since my operation. I feel good. Both because the operation went smoothly and because I got rid of this terrible disease.
Dear Dr. Murat, how wonderful that you crossed my path 🙏 You are one of those who, with your magical hands and kind heart, elevate the prestige of your profession to the heavens. The extent to which you have developed yourself to help your patients recover, how much effort you have put into this work, and how current your knowledge is, is truly admirable. May your smile never fade. Thank you very much, Yılmaz Hoca, and your entire team.

Kidney Stone
Due to a kidney stone located in a difficult-to-reach area, I had undergone two surgeries in another city, but unfortunately, they were unsuccessful. After thorough research, I found Prof. Dr. Murat Binbay. From our very first communication—both remotely and in person—I received detailed explanations and guidance at every step of the process.
Thanks to his knowledge, experience, and trustworthy approach, my doctor Murat successfully performed the surgery and helped me get rid of the problem that had bothered me for a long time. As a psychologist, I can say that his approach is particularly important, as it helps reduce patient anxiety and maintain their morale during treatment.
I also want to thank the department secretaries Derya Hanım and Leyla Hanım, the nurses working in the department, and the valuable doctors from Murat Hoca's team for their attention and support. The entire team is very attentive, friendly, and professional.
As a patient going through a difficult process, I felt I was in safe hands. I sincerely thank Prof. Dr. Murat Binbay and everyone who participated in my treatment. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone facing kidney stones and other similar urological problems.

In October 2025, I underwent robotic surgery. Honestly, I was afraid of the operation. But after meeting Dr. Murat, I overcame that fear, gained confidence, and agreed to the surgery. After the operation, I had no problems and was very satisfied.
Many thanks to Dr. Murat and his team. I am very pleased with the staff on the third floor, where I spent three days; many thanks to them. Also, many thanks to Ms. Derya and her colleagues, who helped us maintain communication.

Prostate Cancer
I recently met with Dr. Murat, a doctor many of my insured clients recommend to me due to my profession. I am 43 years old and have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. After undergoing a rapid treatment program, my path crossed with Dr. Murat, and I have surgery next week. His approach and positive energy gave me additional confidence and morale. I have no doubt in his experience and hope that everything will be fine after the operation. Then I will update my review. Thank you in advance for everything, Dr. Murat 🙏

Bladder neck reconstruction, hernia repair
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Prof. Murad Binbay and his entire team for the successful bladder neck reconstruction along with hernia repair performed on me, Harunur Rashid. From the first consultation to post-operative follow-up, the medical care I received was of a very high standard.
Prof. Binbay demonstrated exceptional competence, excellent clinical judgment, and high precision in using robotic surgical techniques, which contributed to an excellent outcome. His thorough pre-operative preparation, professionalism, and attention to patient safety were evident throughout the process. He took the time to explain the procedure in detail and instilled great confidence in me as a patient.
The medical and nursing staff were professional and attentive. However, for international patients, there can sometimes be communication difficulties, as not all hospital staff are fluent in English. Although interpreters are available, they may not always be immediately present, which can create some inconvenience for those who do not speak Turkish. Nevertheless, the staff were always polite, respectful, and tried to help as much as they could.
Overall, this experience reflects a high level of surgical skill and patient care. We are extremely grateful and highly recommend Prof. Murad Binbay to anyone seeking modern and reliable surgical treatment.

Right kidney tumor
About a month ago, I was informed that a malignant tumor was found in my right kidney and the kidney needed to be completely removed. At this difficult moment, I turned to Professor Murat Binbay. After reviewing the examinations, he said that he could remove the tumor and save part of the kidney. At first, I didn't believe it, but a detailed explanation helped me make a decision. The proposed treatment option gave me a lot of hope.

Due to a kidney tumor, several doctors said that the organ needed to be completely removed, and I was very worried. Professor Murat Binbay conducted a thorough evaluation and instilled confidence with his attentive, benevolent attitude.
He successfully removed the tumor using robotic partial nephrectomy and preserved the kidney. Before and after the surgery, he calmly and thoroughly explained each step, took my condition into account, and answered questions.
