Doctors abroad

After my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, we met our doctor, Erkan. My mother’s condition had advanced due to it being hidden from us, and she had a large external wound on her chest wall. Dr. Erkan quickly devised a treatment plan, emphasizing that we couldn’t lose a single day, and immediately started her on medication. His goal was to shrink the wound to chest wall level and prepare her for surgery. He arranged all the necessary tests: PET scan, brain MRI, contrast biopsy, and blood tests.

We started treatment with 4 courses of chemotherapy and targeted therapy. The results were incredible: the wound visibly reduced with each course and eventually disappeared. Seeing such positive progress, the doctor added two more courses and applied to the Ministry of Health for drug approval. Today, my mother completed her sixth chemotherapy session, and follow-up PET and brain MRI scans showed no metastases. The external wound on the chest wall is gone, and the internal part has significantly reduced. We are now ready for surgery, and after that, we will continue treatment with Dr. Erkan.

Dr. Erkan has been the greatest blessing for us during this journey. His positive attitude, detailed explanations, and excellent communication with both the patient and the family have been invaluable. Words cannot express our gratitude. He works with an outstanding team of chemotherapy specialists and assistants whose positive approach fills us with trust and hope.

Dr. Erkan, may God protect you and guide you on your professional path. We wish you success and look forward to meeting again in better days.

We have been walking this journey together for about 13 months, treating my father’s stage 4 lung cancer with metastases, and thanks to our dear Dr. Erkan, we achieved amazing results. We entered the door in a wheelchair and walked out on our feet. Endless gratitude for his great success in his profession and his dedicated approach to patients. We are so fortunate to have crossed paths with you! Words are not enough to express our thanks.

An amazing doctor, a kind person. Patients trust him greatly because he is sincere and honest. Wishing you all the best, doctor. Respectfully!

I feel obliged to thank Dr. Erkan Kayıkçıoğlu and all the staff of the oncology department at Liv Hospital Istinye Bahçeşehir for their role in my mother's recovery. Meeting such an experienced and knowledgeable doctor as Dr. Erkan is a great fortune. May God bless him!

27/08/2024

Throughout every stage of my treatment, which included 4 courses of chemotherapy, the detailed explanations and quick responses from Dr. Erkan Kayıkçıoğlu and his team were a tremendous support to us. I am endlessly grateful to Dr. Erkan and his team!

21/08/2024

In May 2019, when I was first diagnosed, I was in shock. I had heard about people with similar illnesses, but experiencing it yourself is a completely different feeling. When Dr. Erkan examined me, my fears up to that moment seemed to vanish. He spoke so encouragingly that I felt almost cured even before starting the treatment. At a time when I thought my life was coming to an end, I suddenly felt that I still had many years ahead.

He was incredibly attentive, carefully addressing every detail of my condition. He explained the treatment process in great detail, and when I started therapy, I knew exactly what to expect at each stage. In just six months, he completely cured me. The correct diagnosis, effective treatment methods, and, most importantly, his immense moral support were the keys to my recovery.

Even after my treatment was completed, we became almost like brothers. If I missed follow-ups, he would always remind me and stand by me. I am forever grateful to my doctor and friend, Erkan Kayıkçıoğlu, for saving my life and for the time he gave me. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me.

My mother has cancer and she is this doctor's patient now she is almost okay just today did her 13th chemotherapy session. I have found him really talented doctor as I saw the result in recovery of my mother from cancer and more important for me is his attitude he behave like that his patients are his family member always he sees us while visiting he welcome with a nice smile and today his assistant wasn't present he personally accompanied us to the room that the nurses administered the drug. Here I say THANK YOU to you sir wish you all the best!

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.

01/12/2024

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!

14/11/2023

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!

30/09/2023

Associate Professor Dr. Kaya Turan is an outstanding specialist who deserves respect. We met because of my anterior cruciate ligament problem. He was always attentive and I could contact him even outside the hospital. Therefore, I boldly recommend him to anyone with orthopedic or trauma problems. I thank him for his sincerity, efforts and help which made me recover quickly.

12/10/2023

We met Dr. Kaya when my wife broke her arm. His patient care, friendliness and professionalism make you forget about illnesses. My wife's arm is even stronger than it was. He also helped me with an ingrowing nail problem that I could not get rid of after previous surgeries. Thanks to Dr. Kaya, I am rid of this problem. May God bless him!

08/10/2023

Thank you for your care, attention and friendliness! You were always there for us during this difficult period, both during our treatment in the hospital and afterwards. Thanks to you our treatment ended in the best possible way. Thank you very much for everything!

05/10/2023

My wonderful doctor! He is both attentive and highly skilled. Without any hassle, he helps us find the right treatment and achieve results in the shortest possible time. A huge thank you for all his efforts! I recommend him to everyone from the bottom of my heart.

10/10/2023

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

We came to Dr. Klepper with a diagnosis of urolithiasis in our 7-year-old son. The professionalism of the doctor impressed us: quick and accurate diagnosis, effective treatment. The stones were removed without surgical intervention. We are grateful for the attentive attitude and high quality of medical care.

Wow, how lucky we were to see Dr. Roxana! My daughter (4 years old) was suffering from constant urinary tract infections. The doctor not only treated the current inflammation, but also helped us figure out the cause. Now we have a prevention plan and the child is healthy. Just a miracle doctor!

I can't hold back tears of gratitude! Our son (age 10) suffered from nephrotic syndrome and we were desperate. Dr. Klepper became a ray of hope for us. Her approach to treatment, kindness and professionalism helped to manage the disease. Now our son is in remission and we are happy!

I have recurrent pyelonephritis, my stomach already hurts from these antibiotics. Three months ago I took a course of antibiotics and now I have kidney inflammation again. I couldn't stand it and ordered a video consultation with an Israeli nephrologist. Roxana Klepper opened my eyes to my disease, gave me a lot of good recommendations, which for some reason no doctor gave me. I will be treated according to her regimen and adhere to prophylaxis.

Thank you to Prof. Moshe Pappa for a detailed examination. Very pleasant and competent doctor. Thank you for raising my spirits after my long worries. Local doctors after tests, examinations, mammograms gave contradictory diagnoses. From mastopathy to cancer. In order to dispel doubts about the diagnosis (they put breast cancer 0A), I had to fly to Israel for a consultation. After the tests the preliminary diagnosis was not confirmed.

I know this doctor as a true professional and a person who loves his work. I thank him for his attentiveness and care for his patients.

23/03/2022

Dr. Moshe Pappa performed my mastectomy surgery 3 months ago. The doctor is a real specialist and an excellent surgeon. The stitches are neat, almost imperceptible. After that I underwent another course of hormone therapy. Assuta is a world-renowned clinic, famous all over the world. Yes, professionals work here, but for a person with an average income the treatment is very expensive. Fortunately, my relatives and parents helped me. In general, I believe that you can spend any money to restore your health. But if there are no finances or relatives willing to help, Assuta is expensive.

28/10/2022

I had a mastectomy with Dr. Moshe. He is amazing, he has magic hands. I've heard great things about him and he really is the best!

22/07/2022

Excellent surgical oncologist but personality controversial due to behavior and past incidents. As head of the surgical department at Sheba Tel ha-Shomer Hospital, he was involved in a number of cases in which he was found guilty by the disciplinary court for civil servants of fraud and breach of trust! Despite his high professionalism, I cannot help but condemn his behavior in the area of ethical values where he failed. Personally, I believe that high professionalism is not enough, basic personal values must be followed, in which he has seriously erred!

21/12/2022

Thank you so much for your professional and empathetic approach! I recommend with warmth.

28/10/2019

I think that every woman will say the same words about Prof. Moshe Pappa that I will say about him. He is a man who inspires confidence at first sight. He is responsive, incredibly kind and gives me hope that everything will be fine. In my case, at the consultation, there were two types of surgery - mastectomy or lumpectomy with reconstruction. I had to choose. I was somewhat taken aback by the professor's position - he insisted that the decision should be mine. Of course, the professor patiently explained to me the pros and cons of each surgery, answered all 100 of my questions, and I made the right decision. I underwent a lumpectomy with simultaneous reconstruction. Modern women choose organ-preserving surgeries. I feel great and Prof. M. Inbar, an oncologist, was amazed by the results of the surgery. The amazing thing is that Prof. Papa came to me in the pre-operative room, said many supportive words, shook me by the shoulders and wished me good luck. I felt confident. And I continue to feel that way because I was operated on by a luminary!

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

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I'm incredibly happy with my results and couldn't have imagined anything better! The doctor did a fantastic job.

03/04/2025

I consulted the doctor for a brow lift and the fox eyes procedure. At first, there was some tightness, but now the result looks very natural. My gaze has become more expressive and refreshed. I am very satisfied with my choice and the outcome.

25/02/2025

Quartz clinic has all your needs! I had both English and Arabic speaking staff helping me. It’s located in an amazing district in Istanbul. The work done is by far the best aesthetic work I’ve ever had done. A year ago I received lip fillers in the states A paid too much and nothing showed. Here the prices are perfect and the work is perfect! Please make an appointment here - you’ll have all your aesthetic needs met!

01/04/2024

I turned to these guys for a surgical lip-lift procedure. I was in Turkey having dental treatment, and decided after over a year of thinking about it I would get it done!. A very kind and professional service, but as I was going home the next day i had to find some one on the uk to take the stitches out. I am please to say the UK surgeon said they did a really good job. I’m really pleased with the result, I only wish I had done it sooner.

10/12/2023

Last week, at the Neurosurgery and Neuromodulation Center under the leadership of Associate Professor Atilla Yılmaz, we successfully performed a brain stimulator implantation surgery. I say “successfully” because the procedure was carried out with the patient awake, and we had a pleasant conversation while working as a perfectly coordinated team 🙂

First of all, I was impressed by Atilla Yılmaz’s sincerity and positive energy. It is extremely important for a patient to feel trust in their doctor. After thorough evaluation, openness to new scientific approaches, the right choice of team, and proper timing of the surgery — everything worked together as a single whole. I am grateful to my doctor and his wonderful team.

29/01/2025

First of all, we would like to thank the entire team for their professionalism, care, and dedication. Thank you for making life better. We wish you continued success and the opportunity to help many more people. Special thanks to our doctor, Atilla Yılmaz, and his assistants Uygar and Ali. 🙂

17/06/2024

Dear Professor, you generously share your extensive knowledge and experience with your patients while remaining extremely humane and kind. From the very first consultation, your humility and modesty are evident. You create the feeling of an older brother or a close relative — trust comes immediately. After helping restore a patient’s health, there is no one happier than you yourself. Thank God, you have both the desire and the expertise to help. In my 16 years living with multiple sclerosis, the only intervention that truly benefited me was performed by him. May Allah help all patients — if you have met Professor Atilla, help will surely follow.

26/09/2023

I would like to thank my doctor for the successful surgery that relieved me of many years of leg spasms. Despite all the medications, my legs would not relax, but after a minor procedure with the implantation of a pump, they relaxed completely.

16/12/2022

Our entire family underwent surgery with Dr. Cuma, and we recommend him without hesitation. For us, he is the only specialist we would trust with procedures like this. Everyone is happy with the results, the care was attentive, and the approach was truly professional.

07/08/2025

I have scoliosis, and excess weight started to seriously affect my health. On recommendation, I consulted the doctor. I previously had a gastric balloon, which the doctor carefully removed and then performed stomach reduction surgery. Everything went much easier than with the balloon — minimal pain and no issues with the stitches. I’ve already started losing weight and returned to my normal life. The doctor is very attentive, explains everything clearly, and the team is excellent as well.

07/10/2024

I underwent a gastric balloon procedure with Dr. Cuma, and today the balloon was removed. The results exceeded our expectations — I lost more weight than planned. Throughout the entire process, the doctor and the team stayed in touch, offering support and guidance. Everything went smoothly and without any problems.

11/05/2024

Before the surgery, I received detailed information, and the operation itself was performed well. I’m satisfied with the doctor — he explains everything clearly. The only point is that after surgery, I would have appreciated more follow-up support, as the doctor has a very busy schedule. Overall, I’m satisfied with the result.

04/03/2024

Almost three months have passed since the surgery. Everything went perfectly, and I can always contact the doctor if needed. I came on recommendation and have no regrets — attentive care and a professional approach.

02/03/2024

I struggled with weight loss for a long time, so I decided to have surgery. Two months have passed — I feel good, and the process is progressing steadily. The team is attentive, explains everything clearly, and provides continuous support.

01/03/2024

Very satisfied. The surgery went smoothly, and I returned to work within a week. Trust in the doctor was very important to me — and that trust was fully earned here.

01/03/2024

The results exceeded my expectations. No sagging, improved health, and the team worked flawlessly. I’ve already recommended the doctor to someone I know. Everything was organized at the highest level.

01/03/2024

I came on the recommendation of friends. Two months have passed — the surgery went perfectly, I’m happy with the results, and have no complaints.

01/03/2024

My quality of life has improved significantly after the surgery. I used to have difficulty breathing and problems with my legs. Now I’m down 32 kg — breathing, walking, and overall well-being have improved noticeably. The process is going well. My daughter also underwent a gastric botox procedure. I’ve already recommended the doctor to several people.

Mathieu shares his positive dental implant journey at Suave Clinic with Dr. Imad Alboshi, highlighting his satisfaction with the results.

25/02/2025

Excellent, professional and affordable experience. I have been conscious of my gappy, uneven smile for a number of years and wanted the gaps filled in but keeping my natural smile. Sauce Clinic did exactly this, by using composite filling to close my gaps. I am over the moon with my results and the service was absolutely excellent.

I would recommend Sauve Clinic to anyone. The customer service I experienced, along with the professionalism, far exceeds any experience I’ve had in the UK. The major bonus is that I saved money by having this done in Turkey and got to see a beautiful city filled with culture and history.

06/01/2026

Only positive emotions from my treatment at Suave clinic! I had a deep bite and crooked teeth, and after 8 months of wearing aligners (Invisalign), I achieved a more than satisfying result. Many thanks to the entire clinic team — they were always available and happy to answer all my questions.

23/12/2025

I really liked the clinic — the doctor and the team worked quickly and professionally. They were always in touch, even late in the evening. I am currently at the first stage of dental implant placement, with the next appointment scheduled for January. I truly hope everything will go perfectly.

27/10/2025

I really liked the clinic — a young team of professional doctors supported by a translator, managers, nurses, and attentive service staff. Huge respect to everyone for the positive attitude, friendly atmosphere, and true professionalism!

In one visit, I had six implants placed in the lower jaw and one implant in the upper jaw. There was also a small bone graft and the removal of a couple of problematic teeth. I handled everything well and survived 😁 I was a bit worried about bruising and facial swelling, but the team reassured me and explained that this was just a temporary stage on the way to a Hollywood smile 😁 I didn’t even argue with that! 👍

They also gave me Arnica cream, which really helped reduce the bruising and swelling, and the prescribed medication plan was very effective. So, I’ve completed the first stage and am eagerly waiting for the second — the final one! I truly hope everything heals and integrates well, because the doctor has such a light touch — I called his hands “golden”!

I highly recommend this clinic!
See you soon 🫶

17/09/2025

I couldn’t be more happier than this with my experience at Suave Clinic. The entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations. The whitening treatment delivered incredible results.

my teeth look significantly brighter yet still completely natural, which was exactly what I wanted.

What stood out most was the attention to detail and how comfortable the entire team made me feel throughout. Even without sharing a photo, I can honestly say the difference is clear, and I've been getting compliments ever since. If you’re looking for high-quality dental care with results that feel authentic and long-lasting, this is the place to go.
