My son had a bone marrow transplant 2 years ago and I want to thank our Dr. Zafer and his team endlessly. I wish you to always have a smile on your face and be patient. They always listened to us and when Dr. Zafer came to the room, it was like he shared his energy and it gave us strength. Anadolu is like a five star hotel, we are very, very satisfied, the fees they receive are halal all the way through.

My father had a bone marrow transplant and all the doctors and staff, especially Dr. Zafer, are true professionals. When my father goes for every checkup, we forget that he is sick, thanks to the extremely positive energy of the doctors.

bone marrow transplant
Neurologist Yashar and hematologist Zafer are still the best doctors in terms of explaining problems in detail, calming the patient down and making them feel better. I haven't been there for a long time, but when I was last there I noticed that the quality of services has decreased. The staff is indifferent, most of the doctors are gloomy, and the patient is not trusted.
