Dr. Mehmet Abdussamet Bozkurt did my breast tumor removal surgery successfully. I had a few postoperative complications, which were appropriately managed. My stay in the hospital was comfortable as Dr. Bozkurt took good care.

I underwent an endoscopy procedure at LIV Istinye Clinic, the care and professionalism of the doctors was at a very high level. Dr. Bozkurt ensured complete comfort during the procedure. The procedure itself was quick and painless. I received clear answers to all my questions.

I was diagnosed with colon cancer after undergoing an endoscopy, colonoscopy and other tests. I am grateful to Dr. Bozkurt. He put me at ease and supported me. He is a very attentive and pleasant doctor who explains everything in a very accessible way to the patient. I recommend him to everyone.

Two years ago I broke my knee and ankle at the same time, and my knee was in very bad shape. Although my family suggested that I go to another doctor and another hospital, I was impressed with Dr. Kaya's attitude and approach and decided to trust him with the surgery. Today, I owe it to him that I can walk again. We stayed in touch even after the surgery: he was always ready to help, not only with the surgery, but also with any other medical issues. Many thanks to him for everything! I sincerely recommend him to everyone.

Thank you, Dr. Kaya, for your care and professionalism! It was very valuable that you examined the cyst in detail with ultrasound and explained the situation to me in detail. Your calm approach and clear explanation of the treatment process really helped me relax and feel safe. You demonstrated how experienced and knowledgeable you are in your field. I would sincerely recommend you to anyone with orthopedic concerns.

23/11/2024

Dr. Kaya helps me solve my problem very quickly and efficiently every time. He treats me and lets me go with a ready solution. Even at times when I was very upset, he found a way to calm me down and offer me a way out of the situation. This is a very knowledgeable and kind doctor.

23/11/2024

After surgery for my son's broken leg, I never switched Dr. Kaya again. He has now become the family doctor. He also takes care of my son's Hallux Valgus treatment. We are incredibly fortunate to meet such a great doctor like Dr. Kaya in this day and age.

15/11/2024

I survived a car accident that left me with multiple compound fractures in my arm and leg. Dr. Kaya, after surgery, literally brought me back to life as if the accident never happened. He is an outstanding doctor who is not only a master of his craft, but also cares about motivating the patient and their loved ones.

13/11/2024

We met Dr. Kaya through a family doctor's recommendation when my son broke his arm. He provided us with care and was there for us throughout the entire process. My son and I have been very satisfied. We wish you continued success!

I found Dr. Kaya through reviews when I was looking for a surgeon for my anterior cruciate ligament surgery. During the consultation, he instilled confidence in me and explained the entire process in detail. The surgery we had on September 30 was a success and his team was very caring both before and after the intervention. Dr. Kaya and his team explained everything I needed to do to recover. A huge thank you to them!

I thank him for his sincerity, efforts and help which made me recover quickly.

Dr. Cetin is a master of his craft! I had a complex herniated disc, the pain was unbearable. After the surgery I was back to normal life in a month. He explained everything down to the last detail, supported me both before and after. Thank you very much for your professionalism!

My treatment experience with Dr. Engin Çetin was a real lifesaver for me. Scoliosis was not only physically painful, but also a huge moral strain - I always felt limited in movement and aesthetically insecure. At my first consultation, Dr. Cetin studied my scans in detail, explained the nature of the deformity and proposed a surgical plan.

The spinal stabilization surgery was complex, but Dr. Çetin used state-of-the-art techniques, including minimally invasive technology. After the procedure, he paid great attention to the recovery period: he regularly checked on my condition, adjusted rehabilitation and was always on call to answer my questions.

After 5 months, the curvature was significantly less and the pain was completely gone. In addition, my overall health and appearance have improved. I am truly grateful to Dr. Chetin for his professionalism, attention to detail and sincere desire to help his patients return to a full life!

The surgery went well and the pain is gone, for which I am very grateful to Dr. Cetin. The only point is that the rehabilitation process was a bit more complicated than I expected and I would have liked more advice on recovery. But overall, the result was worth all the effort. Thank you for your help!

My treatment with Dr. Engin Çetin was an important step towards recovery. At the time of my treatment, I had severe scoliosis, which impaired my quality of life and brought constant discomfort. After a detailed examination and consultation, Dr. Cetin suggested stabilizing surgery using state-of-the-art fixation equipment.

Dr. Çetin not only performed the surgery brilliantly, but also provided me with close supervision during all stages of rehabilitation.

Today I can enjoy a full life without pain. A huge thank you to Dr. Çetin!

Honestly, I was hesitant to have the surgery for a long time, but Dr. Çetin gave me confidence. The narrowing of the canal was causing a lot of discomfort, and now I have even forgotten that I had such problems. I am very glad I went to him!

I had meniscopy surgery 3 months ago, Engin did the surgery for me. May Allah bless you, you are a very experienced doctor.

To date, the doctor who performed circumcision on our son deserves the highest praise. We are very satisfied with his work. He is a friendly person with an excellent approach to children. I hope he will always be successful in his profession.

15/06/2023

Our newborn, who was born in another hospital, was transferred to this hospital for surgery. Thanks to our pediatric surgeon, Murat, the surgery was successful. The baby is now in the neonatal intensive care unit. The nurses in the unit are simply wonderful and very attentive. As the Demir family, we want to express our immense gratitude to all the staff who helped us. Thank you for being there.

21/07/2021

Three years ago, the doctor performed surgery to remove my daughter’s umbilical hernia. There have been no issues since. I believe he is a skilled and professional doctor.

09/04/2021

This is one of the best pediatric surgeons I know. Recently, we had an ultrasound, and growth was observed. I will contact you again once I get the urine culture results.

18/01/2011

At the moment when our hope had almost faded, Almighty Allah sent us this wonderful man — Professor Koray Acarli. I prayed: "God, will I ever be able to sit at the same table and eat together with my child?" Allah made him precisely the means by which these prayers were answered.

Dear doctor, we will never forget you throughout our entire lives. Now Poyraz and I are living our happiest days thanks to you. May Allah grant you a long life. Paradise has eight gates — may the Lord grant you the right to enter through any of them you wish.

You are a wonderful person. No matter how much we thank you and your team, it will never be enough. We love you.

14/08/2025

Greetings from Eskişehir.

In October 2015 I was hospitalized at the Çapa Faculty of Medicine with a diagnosis of "liver cancer." After a year of anticancer treatment I was ready for transplantation, but at Çapa they kept delaying the operation because the risk of a fatal outcome was high. This continued until we found our Koray hodja. Koray hodja told me: "Since you are a complex case, no one will easily take on your transplant. We take the risk," — and gave me the green light. My donor was also ready, and as a result of a long (13.5-hour) operation, after which our hodja told my relatives, "This is the first time I have performed such a transplant," on November 22, 2016 I returned to life. I was discharged after 8 days in intensive care and 29 days in the ward. Follow-up continues. I am endlessly grateful to our hodja Koray bey and the entire transplantation department team.

28/02/2020

I underwent a liver transplant at Memorial Şişli Hospital on October 10, 2012. May Allah be pleased with you all. Now I am very healthy, my liver is in excellent condition. Later a problem arose with my spleen — it was also removed. Apparently this is how Allah wrote it in my fate — I stayed in the hospital longer than anyone. Everyone was discharged on day 7, and I exactly on day 40. I caused the nurses and orderlies many difficult moments — I ask everyone for forgiveness. Great thanks to everyone, to the entire organ transplantation team, above all to Professor Dr. Münci Kalayoğlu, Professor Dr. Koray Acarli, associate professor Dr. Turan Kanmaz who was constantly by our side, operator Dr. Yücel Yankol, operator Dr. Nesimi Mecit. To my doctors, to the blood bank staff who sent blood when I needed it, to the general intensive care staff who fulfilled all my requests, to the angels of the hospital — our nurses and orderlies who came running for our every need, to the cafeteria and café staff who never left me without food, and to the security guards who ensured our peace — thank you.

22/12/2012

In 2009 I was diagnosed and treated at many hospitals. The doctors at these hospitals said that I would not survive a transplant. The last time I lay in the hospital for 40 days, and my condition worsened even more. Then, after meeting Münci hodja and Koray hodja, I gained hope that I would recover. Based on the results of our hodjas’ examinations they said a transplant was possible, and on February 23, 2012 a transplant was performed from my twin. Now I have returned to health and am very happy. I am doing well, praise Allah. Enormous gratitude to the doctors who performed the operation — above all to the esteemed Professor Dr. Münci Kalayoğlu and the esteemed Professor Dr. Koray Acarli, the entire organ transplantation team, the coordinators Nilgün hanım and Altan bey, the nurses on the 7th floor of building B, and all the staff — for their attention and professional attitude toward their work.

23/03/2012

On October 1, 2007 you gave me life again. Dear Münci Kalayoğlu, Koray Acarli, Yücel Yankol, and all the Memorial staff who put in their effort — on March 14, 2012, on the occasion of World Medicine Day, I once again express my gratitude. You gave me life again. For exactly 4.5 years now I have been living without any problems. Thank you. May all happiness be yours.
