Surgeons in Turkey

On 04/05/2023 I had gall bladder surgery via laparoscopy, the process was quick and easy. Endless gratitude to Professor Aziz Sumer and his team.

I overcame my fear and had gastric surgery for weight loss, which I was very afraid of and considered very risky. Professor Sumer reassured me, he radiated confidence and was very friendly. Today is day 11 after surgery and I feel great. I was discharged from the hospital on the 3rd day without any problems or complications. I am grateful to Dr. Sumer. Many doctors perform this operation, but I am glad that I met this particular doctor.

3 years ago, Professor Aziz performed gastric surgery on me. 3 days before the operation were devoted to examination and making a decision about the operation (since I was still hesitating). Now I'm fine and I have the weight I want. Aziz Sumer is truly a competent doctor. I recommend him.

Within half an hour, Dr. Schumer relieved me of the gallbladder pain that I had suffered from for months and the umbilical hernia that occurred at the birth of my son. I have been diagnosed before, but I never had the courage to go through with these two surgeries. On Wednesday, December 12, 2018, Aziz Sumer performed closed surgery on my gallbladder and umbilical hernia. Only 10 days have passed since the operation. I'm so happy to be pain free! God bless you, doctor. I wish you a healthy life and may success and happiness be with you.

2 months ago I had surgery on my stomach, and I lost 22 kilograms in 1.5 months. Now I can sleep in my own bed, I can walk, I got rid of medications, I started to like myself again... Thousands of thanks to my wonderful doctor Aziz Sumer, who helped me take a step into a new life.

Dr. Aziz Sumer performed gastric sleeve surgery on my sister. I would like to thank him again for his care and high professionalism.

I would like to thank Dr. Umutit from the gastroenterology department where I went because of stomach discomfort, I would like to thank the staff in charge for their care and kindness, there are many differences between the service I received before and the service I received now, Liv hospital is fine, I recommend it.

After timely contacting İstinye Hospital for surgery, I received very good medical care from doctor Umit, nurses and hospital staff and interpreter Mr. Anver, who helped in everything, did his job very well, thank you for everything.

Greetings to everyone. I am very grateful to Prof. Umit Koc, thank you for your work, my health has improved significantly. I also thank the interpreter, Balkans coordinator Ilirjana Kacar, who was there for us and answered us whenever we needed her. I advise all patients from Macedonia and Albania to come to Istinye Liv Hospital. I wish you all the best.

Fast diagnosis, instant intervention, strong communication, balanced sincerity... appendicitis diagnosis and surgery I would like to thank my dear doctor Umit Koch and his wonderful team who took immediate action, which made me feel safe, and that I was in the right place.

Professor Umit Koch did surgery on my father, my father who is also suffering from heart disease at the age of 85 years got up the same day, thank God, very caring doctor, very decent quality in the hospital, we were very satisfied, thanks for everything to the staff of Liv hospital.

In April 2022, at the hospital where I went with complaints of chest and arm pain, weakness, fatigue, a CT scan determined that I had a mass in my chest. Although I met with several thoracic surgeons in Isparta, I did not receive sufficient information and attention regarding the treatment of the thymoma tumor. The doctors I met with said that it was a rare occurrence and that I should go to centers for treatment. As a result of my search for doctors, I met Professor Adalet, whom I first contacted via the Internet. The doctor provided me with detailed information about my disease and the treatment process. This is how I gained confidence in his experience, as I could not get detailed information about this tumor in Denizli and Isparta. In August, in Istanbul, he performed a biopsy in the form of a closed surgery. Since he did not consider it appropriate to remove the entire tumor during the biopsy, he took only a piece and completed the biopsy process. I stayed in the hospital for one night and was discharged. The result of the biopsy was a type B2 thymoma. There were also cancer cells in the tumor capsule. The doctor explained to me the seriousness of the situation and the need to remove the tumor. I was afraid of surgery, as the tumor had reached 8 cm, so Dr. Adalet did not consider it necessary to perform a closed operation. It was more appropriate to remove the tumor through open surgery. A computed tomography scan was done, the tumor did not spread to other organs, but the part where it was attached was very close to the heart and aortic vessels. In early September, I underwent surgery, opening my chest. I spent the first night in the intensive care unit, and in total I stayed in the hospital for five days. I was put in two drains and discharged when the drains were removed. We did not receive oncological treatment, as the doctor removed the tumor without breaking the capsule. I am grateful to my doctor and his team for supporting me on this difficult path and restoring my health. Thank you very much for your openness, sincerity and frankness. May your hands never know fatigue.

I was very fortunate to have known Adalet Demir. He never lost his enthusiasm from the first day to the last day. He even organized the shooting of my Pet Ct himself and made every effort to get the biopsy done the next day. While diagnosis takes 10-15 days, all my procedures were done within 2 days thanks to my doctor Adalet Demir. When the diagnosis of thymoma type B, or thymus gland tumor, was clarified, he explained how to follow the treatment process without any difficulty. As the tumor spread throughout the thymus gland, chemotherapy was started under the guidance of my doctor, Adalet. We communicated constantly during chemotherapy and I don't know how to thank him enough for such a fatherly attitude towards his patients. My thanks and prayers are always with him. The chemotherapy was over and it was the turn of the surgery. Adalet Demir and his team were very good at explaining to me that it was more appropriate to have open surgery to remove the thymoma, what the risks were and what was in store for me. Of course, I had concerns before the surgery. You have a surgery similar to open heart surgery, but thanks to the doctor and his team, I tolerated everything comfortably. I was discharged 1 week after surgery. Now I go for check ups every 3 months and everything is fine, it has been almost 1 year. Endless gratitude to Adalet Demir and his team for their help and fatherly support through this difficult process and for being a very good surgeon.

About 8 years ago our doctor operated on my father with lung cancer and restored his health, he gave us so much confidence with his knowledge and experience during this time.... My father overcame this difficult disease and continues to live, whenever we needed him in this process we were always able to contact him and he always helped us, we are very grateful to him.

In 2021, my mom was diagnosed with a 29 cm 3.5 kg tumor in the mediastinum of the right lung, my mom had to go to the operating table, it was a high-risk surgery, we were told that it could not be operated on, my mom was operated on, and fortunately there were no complications, although my mom had other chronic diseases, she was very happy after the surgery. This story stretches from Diyarbakir to Istanbul, and the hero of this story, Adalet Demir, is one of the best doctors in his field, caring, very communicative, and most importantly, very responsive, he is still in our prayers, thank you very much for everything.

Hello, I had thoracic sympathectomy surgery in 2017 (as a result of excessive sweating), I was very satisfied with my doctor, I was very impressed that he was friendly, reliable and caring and that he was always on call. His professionalism in his work is extremely high and his resume is that of an excellent doctor. Although it has been 3 years since my surgery, I have not had any complications and I no longer suffer from sweating. Now I no longer trust Botox, Only this surgery that improves my quality of life by an order of magnitude and I recommend this surgery to everyone.

I would like to thank Prof. Abdüssamet Bozkurt and Dr. Musa, as well as the staff on the 14th floor, especially Nurses Alperen and Fatma, for the services I received from Istinye University Hospital. May God bless everyone, we are grateful to everyone. Ahmet Karagoz

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.

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.  15/10/2022

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. 05/10/2022

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. 15/09/2022

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! 28/07/2022

Had an operation not too long ago to remove a cyst. I was examined by Prof. Dr. Serkan Deveci and he identified the cyst and I got an operation to remove it the week after by him. And the recovery was smooth as silk. Overall I highly recommend Prof. Dr. Serkan Deveci and if I have any problems again I am 100% certain I’ll go back to him.

This doctor turned out to be a real find for me after I learned my diagnosis - polycystic kidney disease of both kidneys. I was prescribed a detailed treatment plan, and after that I attended follow-up visits, during which the specialist adjusted and advised the prescribed procedures and medications. There is already a noticeable relief of symptoms.

I can say that this is the best decision I have ever made in my life. The life I have lived so far was a preview in terms of life quality.

I am grateful to Dr. Ibrahim Karatas and his crew for not leaving any questions in my mind.

Dr. Karatas - you are the most beautiful detail in the turning point of my life. I am thankful for both your attitude and interest, good-humour and your manner in every way.

Very ethical person, respectful of his profession, great with patients. 13.03.2012

My 6 year old son had blocked lungs, Burak Tander supported us psychologically before and after the surgery with his smile. He is a great doctor who does his job with quality. I have never met such a talented and selfless person before.

March 28, 2023.

Burak Tander is a wonderful man, our son was born with esophageal atresia. He not only nursed our son, he was always with us, always there for us, never rushed. Dr. Burak became our family man. We are young parents and there are no words to describe the love and respect I have for Burak. May God keep him safe.

December 8, 2021.

We are grateful to our friendly, sincere and caring doctor who successfully removed 2 (6 cm. and 9 cm.) hydatid cysts in my 9 year old daughter's liver by laparoscopic method and allowed our daughter to recover quickly and return to her normal life... We are now much more aware that we made the right decision to entrust our daughter to you.Thank you Burak Tander.

February 11, 2021.

We visited 4 doctors but could not find a doctor who showed interest, competence and had a smile like Burak Tander. He informed us about all the details of inguinal hernia. He was very helpful both before and after surgery. Our surgery went very well, thank God. We are very thankful to him.

February 9, 2019.

Dr. Burak cured my 4 year old son in 10 days who had a problem with fecal retention for 1 year. it was unbearable for me, I had lost hope. still can't believe that we went through a difficult ordeal. no one knew how to solve the problem, neither psychologists nor doctors. thank you!

January 8, 2019

Our son Omer had surgery to remove an inguinal hernia. I am hoping he will also have surgery to remove a prolapsed testicle that develops after surgery. We are grateful to Mr. Burak for his attention, his smile, his professionalism in his field, his tireless efforts to understand our questions and concerns and to instill confidence. We want our depressed testicle surgery to be as successful as our inguinal hernia surgery, we want Burak Bey's hand to heal us, we pray.

My father had lung cancer. We contacted Mr. Semih through the internet. My father underwent surgery. The surgery went very well. My father even felt like he had a very simple, minor surgery. It was a very comfortable process. May God bless Mr. Semich a thousand times over. He brought my father back to life. His approach to us was very good. He kept us informed in a detailed and accessible manner. He always reached out to us with comfort and moral uplift. We were always able to contact him even outside the ward.

March 25, 2022.

Semih Halezeroglu has been my doctor for 12 years. I came here with a lung complaint. I visited several hospitals and doctors. I met Mr. Semih through a recommendation. I am very satisfied. He is very experienced in his field. He removed one lobe of my right lung. The follow-up continued once a year. Then a portion on the left side was removed. My regular follow-up continues. He understands human psychology very well. His approach and behavior towards the patient is very correct. Of course, he is very successful as a doctor, but most importantly, his human qualities are very strong. He instills confidence in the patient by giving him detailed information.

March 24, 2022.

I went to Mr. Semih on the advice of my friend. I went to Mr. Semih because of lung cancer. The operation was very successful. I had no problems after the operation, as if I had never had an operation, as if I had nothing. Mr. Semih is a doctor who instills confidence in his patient. He provides support and moral support like a psychologist. He was very detailed about the whole treatment process. My follow-up is ongoing. In addition to my follow-ups, I can always get information when I need it.

March 23, 2022.

A neoplasm was discovered in my wife's lung. Upon recommendation, we went to Mr. Semih. The neoplasm was surgically removed. The surgery went very well. We did not have any problems afterwards. We were very satisfied with the process. Mr. Semih has an excellent approach and attitude to the patient. He was always very detailed in informing us about the whole process. He is one of the best doctors I have seen to date. We were always able to easily contact him outside of the department. I wish all doctors were like Mr. Semich. We were very pleased with both his approach to the patient and his professional progress.

March 22, 2022.

I went to see Mr. Semih based on the results of a study complaining of a cyst in my daughter. An open surgery was performed and the cyst was removed. The surgery was very successful. We did not have any problems afterward. Mr. Semih is a very attentive and caring doctor. He is patient oriented. He is a successful doctor who gives morale and confidence to his patient. We had people around us that we referred to him and they were very satisfied as well.

March 21, 2022.

My wife had a tumor above and below her left lung. On recommendation we went to Semih Halezeroglu. The tumor was removed by successful surgery. During chemotherapy, an infection had gotten into the surgery site. Other doctors did not realize this. We turned to Mr. Semih again. He saved my wife's life twice. He's a wonderful doctor. He is a very noble, well-meaning, selfless, devoted to humanity, very successful doctor. His hard work and knowledge cannot be understated. Even his tone of voice soothes the patient. Through his speech, he makes the patient feel good. He is always positive. We had a very difficult case. Thanks to him we went through the whole process without any problem. He is one of the few doctors I can always feel comfortable recommending.

March 17, 2022.

I went to Semih Halezeroglu for a study due to a mass in my lung. I underwent an operation. The tumor and the lobe of the lung were removed. The surgery was successful. My recovery process was also very quick and comfortable. The doctor who goes above and beyond expectations is a very friendly and reassuring doctor. He is very positive. He boosts the morale of the patient. I leave happy every time I come to see him. I would definitely recommend people with similar problems to go to him.

March 16, 2022.

I have had surgery twice, pneumothorax, had a deflation of the lung. I had surgery on my right lung in 2015 and in 2020 on my left lung. He is really a wonderful doctor with his professionalism and humanity. Thank him very much, I recommend him to everyone. I wish him continued success. My discomfort was shortness of breath, but after the surgery I am back to my old self.

February 12, 2021.

I was very satisfied with both the team and the doctor himself. i had no problems with the follow-up. i still visit him and refer my relatives. i usually avoid doctors' advice, but i recommend Semih with peace of mind. i went to Semih with suspicion of lung cancer. i had an operation. i had lung cancer, they removed the relevant area in 2014. I then started oncology treatment and my treatment is still ongoing. At the same time he is a very nice person, I enjoyed my time with him and also the treatment.

February 10, 2021.

When I needed an EBUS procedure related to my disease that needed to be diagnosed, I met the esteemed Ilgaz at Altunizade Acıbadem Hospital, he is a doctor who establishes a trusting dialog with his patients, he is serious and motivates his patient for the surgery, and most importantly, he is a doctor who is truly a professional in his field. I would definitely recommend Ilgaz without hesitation to anyone looking for a doctor in this field, you can safely carry out treatment with him. A speedy recovery to everyone. Many thanks to Ilgaz for everything.

May 10, 2018

When my wife's CT scan results came back, I was very alarmed. Most of the people I consulted with recommended Dr. Ilgaz. When our cardiologist recommended the same, we went to him. I have never encountered such a high-energy and friendly doctor. C.T. scan, exam.... Don't be afraid, there is nothing here. Go, have fun, come back in 3 months. We felt so relieved! It is good that we have our Dr. Ilgaz. May God bless such doctors.

March 28, 2018

I regained my health with the help of Ilgaz Dogusoy's magic hands. The only gift this disease gave me was my Dr. Ilgaz, he became my father, my brother and my only friend. It is very good that there are doctors like him. We love him very much.

November 7, 2014

In addition to successful surgeries, this doctor is very communicative and supportive of the patient. He was the 4th doctor I went to during my pre-operative evaluation. After 3 minutes of communication, I decided that my surgery would be done by him.

December 9, 2013

I, a non-smoker, keen sportsman, getting check-ups once every 2 years, almost had my brain blown up when I was faced with a mass in my left lung.... Thank God I met Dr. Ilgaz and had the surgery done by him. I won't go into details, it's been 2 weeks since I was discharged from the hospital, I even miss the checkups he did when I was in the hospital.

August 29, 2013

We owe a debt of gratitude to this outstanding doctor who has proved many times that he is a professional in his field, who made us forget about the disease with his calm and reassuring treatment and jokes, and gave his patient the confidence to undergo surgery after some time. We wish him health and success.

January 13, 2013

Dear respected Dr. Ilgaz, I owe my life to you, I don't think there is any other thoracic surgeon who does his job so perfectly, the patients who will be operated by you are very lucky. You don't remember me, you operated on me on 22-04-2009, my right lung was completely removed, believe me, it only affected my quality of life a little bit. It has been 4 years and I am perfect, I have no health problems, I am grateful to you for life. Regards.

October 26, 2012

I got rid of the disease I had thanks to Dr. Ilgaz Dogusoy. I have forgotten the bad moments I experienced during my illness - thanks to him. I am grateful to him and I want to thank him here.
