We were referred here from Vadi Liv Hospital for our son's kidney failure. Thanks to the treatment provided by Prof. Ozan Ozkaya and Associate Professor Mehmet Taşdemir, we saw remarkable improvement. We especially appreciated that Dr. Mehmet stayed in touch about the patient's condition even outside working hours and kept us informed at every stage of treatment. We are deeply grateful to him and the entire team.
The nurses on the pediatric ward on the 12th floor — Melek Aslan, İbrahim Çildavul, Yunus Çiftçi, Batuhan Topbaş, Büşranur Kayıp, Pelin Yüksel, Elif Can, Gizem Gençer, İrem Pamuk, Ayça Soylu, Şevval Kara, Betül Özçelik and Aleyna Özaslan — are outstanding professionals. Many thanks to everyone for their kind and attentive care. We feel very fortunate to be treated by such excellent doctors and medical staff.

More than just a doctor… She spent a full hour and a half with us. We came to her after receiving numerous recommendations. An ultrasound showed that my daughter has polycystic kidney disease; we will know more after genetic testing.
I am very glad that we found Prof. Ozan Ozkaya. She explained the current situation and the possible course of the disease in detail and thoroughly answered every question we had. She is also a very positive person. We are so happy to have met you. Had we come to you from the beginning, we would not have had to go through so many difficulties. Zeynep's mother.

I would like to thank Prof. Ozan Ozkaya, a specialist in pediatric nephrology. She is a true expert and a doctor who helped put my mind at ease. Her assistant is also very compassionate and helpful with every question.
İstinye University Liv Hospital Bahçeşehir is a fully equipped hospital with attentive staff. Most importantly, it inspires confidence. The hospital maintains excellent hygiene standards. The doctor and her assistant answer every question and help patients feel reassured. Thank you to Prof. Ozan Ozkaya and her team.

The pediatric rheumatology department, led by our dear Dr. Ozan Ozkaya together with her team and assistants, works with great care and immediately focuses on finding solutions to any unexpected problem. They always make you feel that the doctor is close at hand. We are very glad she is here.

17/10/2022

Thanks to our pediatric rheumatologist, Prof. Ozan Ozkaya, my son Uygar Berk has returned to his former healthy life. I am endlessly grateful to Dr. Ozan. Many thanks also to her assistant for the attention and support throughout treatment.

05/09/2022

We have been followed by Prof. Ozan Ozkaya at İstinye University Liv Hospital for five years. The hospital is fully equipped and clean, and the staff are friendly — it deserves five stars. My sincere thanks to our doctor and her secretary, Sevim Ceyhan, for their care and attention.

21/07/2022

Although we live in Kocaeli, we began seeing Prof. Ozan Ozkaya after a referral from the surgeon who operated on my son. She monitored him very carefully because of kidney stones. When we mentioned a detail that seemed insignificant to us, she was the first to suspect a condition with no previous family history and ordered the necessary tests. As a result, our child was diagnosed with celiac disease and spared serious complications.
We are extremely grateful to her. We were fortunate to meet a specialist who performs her work with such dedication. Words alone are not enough to express our gratitude for her help.

12/06/2022

For six years we consulted different doctors without getting any results. Eventually we found Prof. Ozan Ozkaya online, and she immediately understood what was causing our son's illness. The doctor and her assistant are very friendly and communicate wonderfully with patients. Thank you once again. Thanks to you, our son's treatment did not begin too late. We are very fortunate to have met such a doctor.

28/04/2022

We are followed by Prof. Ozan Ozkaya in the pediatric rheumatology department at İstinye University Liv Hospital Bahçeşehir. She is a true expert in her field. Many thanks for her attention and care. For years no one could diagnose my son, but now, thanks to our doctor, he is doing much better.
I would also like to thank the doctor's assistant, Ms. Sevim, who always answers whenever I call and never refuses to help.

16/03/2022

A unique and excellently equipped hospital. Dr. Ozan Ozkaya is especially important to us — she is very attentive and always explains everything in detail.

09/02/2022

I brought my daughter to the rheumatology department. Dr. Ozan Ozkaya and her assistant Sevim were very attentive. We were extremely satisfied and can confidently recommend them. Thank you very much.

19/01/2022

Prof. Ozan Ozkaya is a wonderful person. I am endlessly grateful for her attention.

07/01/2022

About two months ago, I took my four-year-old son to see Prof. Ozan Ozkaya at İstinye University Liv Hospital in Bahçeşehir. However, without examining the child, the doctor ordered numerous blood tests. When I asked whether she was going to examine him, she replied sharply that she had already ordered the tests.
I left the hospital without having the tests performed and went that same day to pediatrician Halil İbrahim at Medicana Beylikdüzü. He examined my child, said no tests were needed and recommended giving Dolven syrup for the ankle swelling for two days. The complaint indeed resolved on the second day.
When choosing a doctor, please make sure that the child is examined first. Otherwise, what is the point of choosing this hospital? Another specialist understood the situation quickly, while the professor spoke harshly. I have not returned to this hospital since.

14/08/2018

We searched online for an FMF specialist and found Prof. Ozan Ozkaya. We made an appointment and came to the hospital. She treated us with great attention and explained everything thoroughly.
The doctor is very kind and pleasant to talk to. Although our condition is genetic and requires lifelong follow-up, she approached the situation correctly and explained all its positive and negative aspects. We were deeply impressed by her attention, communication and clear explanations. Thank you very much, Professor. You are a wonderful doctor. We are grateful that doctors like you exist. Musab's mother.

07/06/2018

We came across Prof. Ozan Ozkaya by chance. Since we were satisfied with our earlier consultations and her attentive approach, we have continued follow-up with her.
It was Prof. Ozan Ozkaya who diagnosed my daughter. She treated us with great warmth and care. We are very satisfied with our doctor.

27/10/2017

We came to Prof. Ozan Ozkaya on a recommendation. My daughter had kidney stones as a child, so we came for a check-up to see whether they had returned or increased in size.
The doctor ordered the necessary tests and examinations. We have only been seeing her for a short time, treatment is ongoing, and at this stage we are very satisfied.

26/10/2017

We found Dr. Ozan Ozkaya through our own research. My daughter has polycystic kidney disease. I appreciated her kindness, approach and attentive care.
My daughter has had the condition for five years and has been followed by Dr. Ozan Ozkaya for six months. She reviewed every medical report and test result from the time of her birth. We are satisfied with the treatment and follow-up and continue to see her. Thank you very much.

22/10/2017

We are grateful to you for your care and successful urological surgery for my father. During the operation, Hasan Bakirtash discovered that the situation was much worse, and made extraordinary efforts, using three different techniques. We are grateful to him for his efforts to help my father restore his health. I recommend Hasana Bakirtash to everyone who needs help in the urological field.

29.06.2023

He is a urologist of the highest category... He treated almost my entire family, and we were very pleased. Thank you, Hasan Bakirtash... The country really needs doctors like you.

10/12/2023

Thank you so much for my mom's kidney surgery.

Prof. Bakirtash operated on me last April. I had kidney stones. Before the operation I underwent a small examination (Memorial Clinic) and the operation itself was easy. I recovered quite quickly and now I feel well, despite my age (65 years old). Thank you to the doctor for the treatment. I will recommend him to everyone.

I underwent rhinoplasty, body liposuction, and a neck lift with Dr. Ramazan, along with penile enlargement and enhancement procedures performed by Dr. Seref. I am beyond satisfied with the results and would confidently recommend both surgeons.

The clinic staff were exceptional—professional, attentive, and incredibly supportive. Although I was initially apprehensive, their expertise and welcoming approach quickly eased my concerns. The aftercare service provided was outstanding, with daily follow-ups during my stay in Turkey and continued support after returning home to ensure everything was progressing well and to answer any questions.

I wholeheartedly recommend Quartz and extend my gratitude to the entire incredible team.

30/11/2024

Very pleased with Dr. Sheref. During our stay on the 4th floor, the nurses and staff were incredibly attentive and caring. Their friendliness and smiles made us feel empowered. We are grateful to all the staff and are glad we chose this clinic. We wish you success in your future endeavors!

03/04/2023

We would like to express our gratitude to the esteemed Dr. Sheref Başal who performed my surgery flawlessly. We would also like to thank the receptionist Gönül Hanım, ambulance nurse Zahide, as well as the head of the department on the 5th floor and the whole team for their professionalism. With respect, the family of Seçkin MR.

16/03/2023

We are very grateful to Dr. Sheref Bashal and all the nurses and staff of the clinic for their excellent work. Everything went at the highest level, thank you very much!

17/02/2023

Hello, I would like to thank Mr. Egemen for painlessly removing my kidney stone measuring 1 cm and 1.5 cm and for his sincere attention.

10/06/2018

I contacted Dr. Egemen with a complaint of a kidney stone measuring 6-7 mm. Thanks to the treatment with medication, the stone came out without pain and problems. The doctor with his attention and calm demeanor helped me to go through the process painlessly. I recommend him to everyone with similar problems.

15/06/2018

Very understanding, attentive to his patients, experienced and friendly doctor. Definitely recommend him to everyone.

22/06/2019

As a doctor and as a person he is just great.

17/06/2019

Excellent doctor with academic knowledge, good patient communication and modesty.

12/06/2021

Kudos to Dr. Egemen, he is an excellent urologist. Highly recommended.

22/06/2018

A wonderful person and a great doctor.

15/09/2023

I felt competent care, friendliness, professional information, and instruction. I would like to thank Dr. Basri Cakiroglu, as well as sincerely thank Ilvira for her professional work and translation.

08/05/2024

Only positive emotions. Highly qualified doctors and staff. I would like to thank DOÇ. DR. BASRI ÇAKIROĞLU separately — may God bless his hands. Many thanks to the translator Rabia Yıldız for her patience, attentiveness, sensitivity, and responsiveness. You can feel that the staff at this hospital love their work and care about their patients. I highly recommend it.

10/05/2024

I underwent surgery to remove a kidney stone. Prof. Dr. Basri Çakıroğlu performed the procedure painlessly and professionally. All the hospital staff were attentive and friendly, from admission to discharge. Special thanks to Hakan Bayraktar, the nurses on 2B, and all the staff on the 4B floor.

12/06/2024

Hello. I spent two days at Hisar Intercontinental. Everyone was attentive, from the cleaning staff to the nurses. The service and comfort were top-notch. I was examined by urologist Basri Bey, who consulted with me very thoroughly and attentively. The doctors are truly the best in their field. The food was varied and served according to my preferences. I am completely satisfied and recommend the clinic.

15/08/2023

My 10-year medical history came to an end at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental. Under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Basri Cakiroglu, a 3-hour operation was performed using TURFLEP technology with a 110 g laser, completely pain-free. Anesthesia was administered under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Yakup Tomak went perfectly—we slept like babies and woke up without pain. The food at the hospital was 5-star, the hotel services were 5-star, and the covered parking was 5-star. The medical staff was attentive and friendly. A leading institution in the field of robotic treatment of spinal problems without surgery.

15/07/2023

I would like to praise the organization of the hospital. The interpreter, Mr. Abdurezzak, was fully committed from the first consultation to the completion of the operation. My surgeon, Prof. Basri, was friendly and professional at all stages. The nurses are attentive and caring, especially after the operation. Special thanks to Ms. Rajaa Ksit for coordinating the entire process.

20/09/2022

Excellent service and friendly staff. The problem was solved quickly and professionally. Many thanks to urologist Dr. Basri Çakıroğlu. The clinic cares about its patients. I plan to return to the ENT and urology departments when possible.

01/06/2018

Hello, a truly knowledgeable, patient doctor — I can recommend him.

I recently underwent an important operation; I hope I will be healthy.

I wish him and his team success.

Very successful, very knowledgeable, very hardworking, modest, more than responsible toward his patients — a wonderful person.

God grant him luck; we are grateful.

After my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer, we were advised to consult this doctor. He proposed surgery using robotic technology, and everything went smoothly. Recovery was quick, and the treatment results were encouraging. The doctor was attentive to our situation, explained everything in detail, and supported us throughout the entire process.

We turned to the specialist when we learned of my father's diagnosis. A modern treatment method was chosen, including a robotic operation that was performed without complications. Father recovered fairly quickly, and the treatment dynamics are positive. The doctor demonstrated high professionalism, was open to questions, and helped us feel calmer during this difficult period.

On November 6, I underwent surgery for a narrowing of the urinary tract. The operation was highly successful. With such a professional and experienced team, any other outcome would have been unthinkable. The level of care and quality of service were exceptional. I would like to sincerely thank my doctor and the entire medical staff for their work.

26/12/2025

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Professor Dr. Abdülmuttalip Şimşek. My mother, Firuze Kantarcı, had to undergo repeated catheter insertions over a two-year period due to urethral narrowing. Despite several surgeries, the urinary passage would quickly become blocked again. Constant visits to the emergency department and ongoing infections were extremely exhausting for both my mother and our entire family.
I found the professor through online research and learned that he has extensive experience and excellent results in open urethral stricture surgery. We consulted him, and he performed open surgery to correct my mother’s urethral stricture. Since then, the urinary tract has not become blocked again.
We continue regular follow-up visits: initially every three months, and now every six months is sufficient. Three years have passed since the operation, and everything is going perfectly well.
I sincerely thank the doctor and his team. I recommend him with complete confidence. He is a very honest and straightforward specialist: if a treatment will be beneficial, he explains this clearly from the beginning; if it will not, he is equally open about it. This transparency is truly one of his greatest strengths. I wish him continued professional success.

06/12/2025

Hello everyone.
First of all, I would like to sincerely thank the doctor. About six months ago, my father underwent surgery. He had a urethral stricture, and despite visiting many specialists, none were willing to operate — we were told that he would have to live permanently with a catheter.
Fortunately, we found this doctor. He performed the surgery successfully, and the catheter was removed just ten days after the procedure. Today, my father — who had been told he would have to live with a catheter — is doing very well and can urinate comfortably.
On behalf of my father and our entire family, I would like to express our endless gratitude to the doctor and his team for their understanding, care, and dedication.

29/10/2025

After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, I consulted Professor Abdulmuttalip Şimşek. From the very first appointment, he inspired great confidence with his attentive, clear, and sincere approach. He personally performed my robotic prostate surgery, and the entire process was calm and highly professional from start to finish.
After the operation, I received continuous attention and support at every stage. Since I traveled from Adıyaman, I was very concerned about logistics, but the professor’s team assisted me even with accommodation, recommending a comfortable boutique hotel close to the hospital.
Fortunately, my pathology results were favorable. The catheter was removed one week later, and I am now scheduled for follow-up visits every three months with blood tests. Previously, I had been told that surgery was not possible and that only radiation therapy was an option due to potential risks. Professor Şimşek’s precision, experience, and dedication truly make a difference — especially when compared with other doctors I had consulted.
I sincerely thank Professor Abdulmuttalip Şimşek and his team for their care, patience, and humane approach. I can confidently recommend him to anyone seeking high-quality medical care.

16/10/2025

I would like to thank the doctor who performed my prostate surgery. He is a physician who listens carefully, explains everything in detail, and above all, treats his patients with genuine humanity.

04/09/2025

A 7 cm kidney tumor was detected in my father. The doctor successfully removed it using robotic surgery. I would like to express my deepest gratitude for his professionalism and the flawlessly performed operation.

23/03/2025

I underwent a kidney transplant. One year later, I developed a urethral stricture. I was fortunate to consult Professor Abdulmuttalip Şimşek, who successfully performed surgery to correct this condition. Later, reflux developed in my transplanted kidney, and three months ago the doctor was able to save the kidney through robotic surgery.
He is an extremely attentive, sincere, and highly skilled specialist who truly masters his field.

17/02/2025

At the Department of Urology of Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital, after the necessary examinations, I underwent a fusion biopsy under general anesthesia. As this was my first surgical procedure, I arrived with significant anxiety, but thanks to Professor Abdulmuttalip Şimşek, I left the hospital feeling calm and reassured.
His experience, kindness, humility, and excellent communication skills inspire great trust in patients.

03/01/2024

Our father underwent prostate surgery at this hospital. Our doctor, Hasan Cem IRKILATA, was so kind, knowledgeable, and attentive that we felt extremely fortunate. He truly became our family doctor. After the surgery, we stayed in room 4118. Our caregiver, Talip Bey, and nurse, Bekir Bey, constantly took care of us, being very careful and meticulous. This hospital was already our preferred choice, and now it gives us even more confidence. Thank you for everything…

02/08/2025

Lokman Hekim is a very good hospital. Staff is very helpful particularly in the urological department. Receptionists at the urologic department are particularly kind and friendly especially Ms Rabia and Ms Ebru. A few days ago I underwent endoscopy surgery with Prof Cem Hasan Irkilata from the urological department who has performed my surgery in the best possible and highly professional way. It was a great success!!! I really want to thank him from the bottom of my heart not only for his professional knowledge but also for his highly human and kind attitude which makes him a great surgeon! A big thanks to nurse Ms Dilara who assisted me so carefully and professionally while I was recovering during my stay in the hospital. Very kind and professional!!

21/06/2025

Professor of Urology Hasan Cem IRKILATA, assistants Ms. Rabia and Ms. Ebru Professor of ENT Ümit TUNÇER and assistant Ms. Merve I want to thank each of them individually — we are truly grateful for your presence 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️…

09/06/2025

During our stay in room 4101 on the 4th floor, we received constant care and attention from everyone — from the doctors and nurses to the patient attendants and cleaning staff. Continuous monitoring and attention were never lacking. We especially thank our doctor Hasan Cem IRKILATA and patient care staff Talip Bey. We wish them continued success in their dedicated work.

16/02/2025

I brought my parents to Medipol Mega University Hospital for a comprehensive medical check-up and was very pleased from start to finish.
The doctors and staff were professional and attentive.
Our interpreter Amina was excellent and accompanied us throughout every stage.

29/06/2025

Medipol Mega University Hospital is worth travelling to even if you live far away.
It is one of the cleanest and most modern hospitals, with staff who are always ready to help.
The team is always smiling, friendly and goes the extra mile for patients.

29/04/2024

This is one of the best hospitals I have ever been to.
I was very well taken care of and guided through all the legal and medical procedures.
The staff is wonderful and literally everyone was very friendly.

29/04/2023

During my husband's cardiology examination, kidney cancer was discovered by chance.

On the advice of our son, who is also a doctor, we turned to Levent-hoca.

With his account of the situation, his approach and the trust he inspired, he made us reach a decision even before my husband left his office.

In 2019, Levent-hoca successfully performed an 8-hour laparoscopic surgery on my father for prostate cancer.

This is a doctor whom I mention in my prayers all my life — for his knowledge, for his approach to the patient and their relatives, for treating the patient like a member of his own family.

I am not Levent-hoca's patient, but the wife of his patient.

12 years ago, during an ultrasound prescribed by another doctor, we found out completely by chance about my husband's kidney cancer — and that became the reason for getting to know Levent-hoca.

We had heard that he is called "golden hands". From the very first minute in the office, both my husband and I had full trust in him.

On May 12, 2014, Levent-hoca and his team successfully performed prostate cancer surgery on me using the robotic method.

As hoca had said, the postoperative period went comfortably — without pain, without bleeding.

I had testicular cancer, and my doctor was Levent-bey.

He is considered one of the best doctors in Turkey in his field. After chemotherapy, he successfully performed a surgery of such complexity that only a few people in Turkey are capable of doing.

The fact that I am alive today, I owe to him.
