Cardiosurgery in Turkey

One of the best coordinators, my mom got sick and made terrible diagnoses. Dr. Konstantin organized everything clearly quickly and comfortably in a few days . For us, everything was organized to the smallest detail, starting with the daily transfer and ending with the delivery of medicines to the hotel, since we ourselves did not have time to go to the pharmacy. He was always available and we are very thankful to him for all these services!

Dr. Konstantin and Experts Medical have been a great help in the way to treat my father’s prostate cancer. They found me the best treatment option for my father which is doing SBRT (a type of advanced radiotherapy) using an MR-LINAC machine. I knew this new device is the best, but had difficulty finding the right hospital that had it, until Dr. Konstantin found the Acibadem Hospital in Istanbul and linked me with its staff. I highly appreciate his help as it was crucial for me to find the best device to treat my father. He has also shown great care regarding my father’s health and continuously followed up about his health status after the treatment. I wish him luck and strongly recommend his service to other patients.

Almost an year ago I got an incredible help from Dr. Natalia. The determining the diagnosis and looking for right treatment was scary experience for me but Dr. Natalia not only confidently organised the process but also supported me morally. I am so thankful to her for finding me a perfect surgeon Prof. Hakan Agir and scheduling the whole process. She always was ready to give me detailed response on all my questions. After surgery in June 2022 I went to Istanbul two more times for examinations in October 2022 and March 2023 and these both times Dr. Natalia was there to help me with communication with doctors and organising my visit to Turkey.
Thank you Natalia!

Hi! And good mood to everybody!
First of all, I’d like to express my deep gratitude to Experts Medical for their high attention and sincerity to patients. During my treatment my coordinator Natalia was in touch with me 24hours a day, to whom I am very grateful. She is a sensitive, attentive, and sympathetic person. Sometimes it seemed that she was more worried about me than I was about myself. This is an Angel who wants to help all suffering and depressed people.
Thank you very much for your warmth and care and all of your Experts Medical company for your work. You are great fellows! Health to all your team!

would like to express my gratitude and deepest respect to Experts Medical!!!!!! Natalya worked with us, and honestly, you rarely meet such sincere and responsive people in life, but we found them on the internet!
Our daughter (2 years old) needed a complex brain surgery. We could only trust the renowned doctor Memet Ozek in Istanbul. Natalia said that we would definitely get to see him! Everything was organized for us (consultation, flight, accommodation, transfer, Russian-speaking interpreter at the clinic, and thanks to Natalia’s help, the charity fund paid for the entire operation!!!) We didn’t worry about the organizational details at all. We only thought about our daughter. The operation was successful, and we are already returning home. We didn’t pay anything for the services, as many people are concerned about this issue. Trouble can knock on anyone’s door! The main thing is to know where to go for help — Experts Medical, you are the best!

A wonderful experience at Acıbadem International Hastanesi. The staff were very responsive, professional, and well-coordinated throughout my treatment. The food offered was also very tasty. Special thanks to Madlen Sahnazoglu, Mehmet, and nurse Ferda for their care, support, and kindness. They made me feel comfortable and well looked after. I definitely recommend this hospital to friends and family.

They took excellent care of me from start to finish. Starting with the translator Yusuf, who helped me with all the paperwork, and ending with the nurse — especially Meltem, who was incredibly caring and always took the time to explain everything clearly. My doctor, Caglar, is very experienced and truly compassionate.

The night I spent in the hospital was very comfortable, the nurses were attentive and supported me the whole time. I am now waiting for good news, but so far everything is going very well. I definitely recommend this hospital — both for their expertise and for their warm, welcoming approach.

Everything was good — an individually tailored protocol for my case. Well organized, and they are very attentive to everything they do. Satisfied with the service. Round-trip transfer is included. They also pick you up and drop you off at the airport. A private room in the hospital with a private bathroom. Well cleaned, I was able to recover. Much better than Swedish IVF!!

At this group’s branch in Fulya I had surgery in 2022 and was very satisfied; my aunt had major surgery the same year in Maslak, I was her companion and observed everything closely. But I cannot say the same about Yeşilköy: besides a serious hygiene problem, we were surprised by the shortage of staff on the floor and the shortage of supplies. We paid half a million for 2 nights — of course, for our health, but I don’t want to list one by one everything the cleaning worker did wrong. In the post-discharge SMS survey I noted my complaints, and within 2 hours they called and apologized, but the second surgery we plan with my doctor in 2 months I will never do at Acibadem Yeşilköy International. I will recommend it to no one — as a doctor’s daughter and a person who pays attention to details, I will say: all of this is far from pleasant, and as for “class A” — that’s an outright disaster. I cannot fail to mention this separately. The 4th floor nurse Perihan is a person who does her job properly. To the orderlies — Besime hanım and Suzan hanım — thanks again: during their shifts they work alone with all their heart on the entire floor. To those who ask me about my changes and want advice, I will of course recommend my doctor, but the hospital — never. What does it mean when a kitchen worker entering the room of a patient sleeping after surgery has their phone ring? After waking the patient, they apologize. Twice we saw the floor being wiped and then the same cloth used to wipe the countertop. Your hospital is very far from “hygiene,” decorating the entrance with a New Year’s tree is not enough….

I had a great experience at Acibadem Hospital. On my way to Istanbul I got very sick — severe congestion. I needed to see a doctor to figure out how to proceed and whether I could even fly. Doctor Aras Senvar was magnificent. He listened to my complaints and then used his more than 50 years of experience to guide me. After the examination he laid out in detail which medications he was prescribing and why he believed they would help. My translator was a young man named Uruk. He was also excellent. When answers to some questions were needed, he found the right ones. Several administrative issues arose because I was admitted the same day I sought help, and he helped resolve them all. And finally, a girl named Elanara — she was the first to take my call and found a way to book me into the ENT department, whose schedule was already full. I called at 8 a.m. and by noon I was already being seen — all thanks to her wonderful attitude and “everything is possible” approach. If she had simply said the schedule was full, I would not have been seen at all. Thank you to all these people. Although I hope I won’t have such illnesses and need urgent care again, IF it does happen — my first call will be to Acibadem International Hospital.

Huge thanks to Dr. Salih for their amazing care during the birth of my baby! Feeling so grateful for their support and expertise.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for Dr Salih care during the birth of my baby. Your expertise and support were invaluable, and I felt so safe and well-cared for under your guidance.
I am incredibly grateful for your patience, kindness, and the way you helped me through a challenging but ultimately joyful experience. Thanks to you, I have a healthy baby, and I’ll always cherish the memories of that special day.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire medical team at Acibadem International Hospital for their exceptional care and professionalism.

I arrived at the hospital with a sudden medical problem shortly before my return flight. From the very beginning I felt safe and well cared for. The doctors and nurses acted quickly, clearly explained every step, and performed all the necessary examinations so that I could fly safely.

I especially want to thank the patient concierge who was with me the whole time. He helped me at every stage of the process, arranged examinations without delays, contacted the hotel, and made sure everything went as quickly and comfortably as possible. His support significantly eased a very stressful situation. I am truly grateful for his kindness, patience, and professionalism.

Thanks to the care of the whole team, I was able to return home safely and with peace of mind. I highly recommend this hospital and deeply appreciate the work and dedication of everyone involved.

Both my 9 year old daughter and myself had treatment here. It totally surpassed all our expectations! The doctors were so nice and helpful. Meysa, the translator who helped us all along the way, was AMAZING! We would highly recommend this hospital to anyone!

This is a great hospital, the doctors and staff are very good, and the conditions are above average. My daughter was born here, and the service and support were five-star. However, please be aware that prices for foreigners are extremely high — to the point that they feel exorbitant. For a simple spirometry they quoted me 22,000 Turkish lira (over $500). When I objected, they immediately lowered the price to 15,000 Turkish lira (which demonstrated that the original price really was a rip-off), but even that is still too much. I went to another hospital and paid 1,000 Turkish lira. So, if you are a foreigner, I recommend going elsewhere. And always confirm the prices for examinations before the consultation.

Overall Impression
Acıbadem Hospital is an excellent clinic with outstanding service, highly professional staff, and incredibly supportive translators. The local Georgian translators working at Acıbadem are wonderful, they were extremely attentive, kind, and helpful throughout my entire visit.

Positive Experience
From the moment I arrived, the local team made me feel well cared for. A special thanks goes to Tsira, the invited translator, who was truly exceptional. She helped me tremendously by organizing my appointments, resolving scheduling issues, and ensuring I could see many doctors on time. Without her dedication, I would not have been able to complete so many consultations efficiently.

I also want to sincerely thank Tamar Melashvili, Natia, and all the Georgian staff at Acıbadem. They went above and beyond in every aspect. These are remarkable professionals who are not only skilled but also deeply compassionate. Their kindness and dedication were the highlight of my experience.

Challenges Faced
Unfortunately, my initial arrangements through external providers in Georgia were very disappointing. Nothing was properly planned when I arrived, not even my appointments with doctors were scheduled. The local hospital staff themselves were surprised by the lack of preparation.

The DGS provider team did not assist me properly. They rarely gave clear answers, often failed to organize transfers or doctor visits, and never informed me in advance about preparations needed for tests. Because of this, what should have been a 2-3 day medical check-up turned into 4–5 days, disrupting my plans. Without the incredible help of the local Georgian staff at Acıbadem, my tests and consultations might have stretched to 10 days or more.

Recommendation
For anyone planning to come to Acıbadem for a check-up, I strongly recommend contacting the hospital directly and avoiding third-party providers. The official hospital team is professional, organized, and genuinely cares about patients.

Conclusion
Despite the challenges caused by external service providers, my overall experience at Acıbadem Hospital was excellent thanks to the local Georgian team. They are an invaluable asset to the hospital, and I am truly grateful for their support.

Everything about the place is nice, but the prices are very high. In the end, this is the healthcare sector, and it feels like if you don’t have money, you’re not meant to receive treatment.

So far I have had a wonderful experience staying at this hospital.

One of the biggest conveniences was the free transfer they arranged: they not only drove us from the airport to the hotel and back, but also provided free transfer to all the doctor’s appointments. This support significantly eased the whole process and made it less stressful.

Special thanks to Danna, who was incredibly responsive and kind throughout the entire time. She handled the organization of all our appointments and was always available to guide us through each step. Her communication and dedication to her work truly stood out and meant a lot to us.

Although we have not yet finished the procedure and will continue with follow-up appointments and treatment, the experience so far has been very positive. We feel confident and at peace, knowing we are in reliable hands.

Thanks again to the whole team for making this journey smooth and treating us with such care and respect.

A few days ago I had rhinoplasty at this hospital. Even though the prices are quite high, I was very satisfied with the service. The nurses took very good care of me. They were sweet and friendly. The only negative point, besides the prices, is that the staff barely speak English, so it can be difficult without a translator.

The doctors at this hospital are very good, very polite people who know their job, respect their work, amazing people. However, the hospital itself is run in the spirit of a cunning Istanbul taxi driver or with a racist approach from management: they count the bill. They write 100 for a Turkish citizen, 250 for a foreigner… If you have money — go, let them fleece you.

I would like to sincerely thank you for your attention and concern during my visit to your hospital. Thanks to the help I have received, as well as the pleasant hospital staff and wonderful nurses, I feel much better now.

Acibadem Hospital is the highest category hospital I have ever seen. Orthopedic surgeons are real pros! The staff is very friendly. I am glad that I chose this hospital and was operated in it. Thanks again to everyone.

I want to thank from the bottom of my heart the doctors of the Department of Reproductive Medicine at Acibadem – they gave us the happiness of being parents. My husband and I are 34 years old, we have been married for 12 years, during this time it did not work out to conceive a child. This hospital was recommended to me, and I am very glad that I turned to them. Our son is already a year and a half! Thank you very much!

This is a luxurious private hospital. Private rooms are allowed one companion. For simple operations it is worth coming here. However, in the urology department I do not recommend Professor Bülent Alagöl. As a doctor he has poor communication with the patient, as well as incorrect diagnoses and treatment.

Everything is cool! The hospital exceeded all my expectations.

Thank you for your help and professional approach!

Thank you very much to Natalia and Memorial Clinic, and especially to Prof. Necmettin Akdeniz. Wonderful, responsive doctor dermatologist, who not only knows his business perfectly, but also helps people to save money without prescribing unnecessary unnecessary tests and procedures!!!!!. Now all medicine has turned into a business, pumping out money, but thanks to this wonderful doctor and coordinator Natalia, I realized that there are still good professionals in the world!!!!. To compare the diagnosis, I compared several doctors and hospitals. I will leave a very bad review from me personally here about Medipol clinic in Istanbul, this is a place where they just stupidly make false diagnoses and make money from you! Good health to all!

I am very grateful to Dr. Nika! She is a true professional in her field, always attentive to patients, does not impose her opinion, but listens and understands all their requirements and desires. She supported us in our treatment at the Memorial hospital in Istanbul. Thank you very much! Anyone who is facing health problems, I advise you to contact this consultant! I wish you all good health!

As a foreigner from the USA, I can say that at this hospital I was received and cared for at the highest level. I fell and broke my elbow. Upon arrival at the hospital, I was immediately assigned a translator who accompanied me through every stage: orthopedic consultation, X-ray, CT, follow-up consultation and casting.

I received medical care of the same level as in the USA, but without the bureaucracy. In the emergency department the entire process took only three hours, and the total cost was 1638 US dollars. I was given a copy of the CT results, and a few days later the translator sent an official written report.

Almost two weeks later, my translator arranged a follow-up visit, and the hospital even paid for my return transport. Honestly, even in the USA I have never experienced such attentive treatment and such high-quality support after an emergency. Thank you to Abdulhamid — my wonderful translator, who also works in the oncology department. I was very lucky to be under his care and guidance.

Today I had a very good experience undergoing a comprehensive medical examination. My translator Ede, as well as all the doctors, nurses and technical specialists who helped me, were simply wonderful.

I especially appreciate how friendly the staff were while strictly observing medical standards. For example, when I thought a stress test was unnecessary, it was explained to me that it had to be performed not because it was part of the package, but because the professional approach to my health required it.

When some lab values turned out to be outside the normal range, I was able to discuss the results in detail with specialists who gave me practical recommendations. It was wonderful!

My only remark is that the names of the examination packages are too similar to each other, so it is easy to get confused about which services belong to which package. But this is easy to fix and it absolutely does not overshadow the high level of medical care that I received.

After a 35-day medical journey at Memorial Hospital Istanbul during the holy month of Ramadan, we are leaving with hearts full of gratitude. This hospital truly became a second family to us.

Our stay was dedicated to my father’s rehabilitation after a stroke, mainly to restoring his ability to walk.

First of all, I want to thank the people who made everything possible: the administrative coordinator Mr. Khalid and the hospital manager Mr. Kaan (Kenan) for their outstanding support and professionalism.

I also express my deep gratitude to all the physical therapy specialists for their enormous contribution to my father’s recovery, as well as to all the doctors and nurses under the guidance of Ms. Ilaf for their exceptional care.

Thank you to all the technical and administrative staff — in this difficult time you became our main support.

My husband had surgery at the clinic with Professor Murat Binbay. The operation was performed by the professor using the Da Vinci Single Port robot.

We were discharged from the clinic two days after the operation. Rehabilitation went very easily. Already on the second day after discharge my husband walked 7000 steps, and on the third day — 10000 steps.

Thanks to the professor and the Da Vinci Single Port robot, everything went practically painlessly. May Allah grant health and prosperity to Professor Murat Binbay and the Memorial clinic.

I accompanied my mother during the operation. The care at the hospital and the organization of the surgical process were among the best I have ever seen. They can serve as an example for the whole world.

Special thanks to the neurosurgeons: Professor Kaynar, Professor Hanymoglu, Professor Serkan Kitis, the nurses and the medical staff of Memorial Şişli Hospital, building B, 3rd floor.

Huge thanks to our coordinators Arbnor, as well as to the translators Aysun and Neyra, thanks to whom we felt at home.

I wholeheartedly recommend this hospital.

During treatment in the IVF department with Professor Semra and Associate Professor Vuslat, we personally witnessed how professional, disciplined and result-oriented they are in their field.

They conduct the entire process very carefully, using a scientific approach. Thanks to their kindness, attentive attitude and professionalism, these doctors inspire trust and achieve high results.

We were very satisfied. 🌸

I want to express my huge gratitude to Dr. Sechkin, his assistant, as well as to the mammography and ultrasound diagnostics staff.

Everyone was very attentive and friendly. It has been a long time since I received such a level of service at a hospital.

The only problem is the parking and its cost. When you already pay quite serious sums for medical services, the need to additionally pay for parking seems to me not entirely logical.

My dear doctor Safak Olgan, my wonderful nurses Saadet, Deniz and Mufide, my dear embryologist Merih, as well as Bercem, Melisa, Derya and Gulhan, who greeted me with a smile every time — I love you all very much.

This was real teamwork. Along with everything else, motivation played a huge role, and this team gave it to us in abundance.

My dear doctor has a special place in my heart, but each of you is also very important to us. If we were able to meet our daughter, then each of you contributed to it.

We love you ♥️

At this hospital, my husband’s sister was treated in the oncology department, and we visited her every day for several months.

Pros:

A new beautiful hospital with good equipment. However, it has no CT scanner of its own — patients are taken by ambulance to another hospital by arrangement.

Good wards: TV, amenities, almost like a hotel. There is a kettle, a fridge, tea and coffee are provided. You can choose a dinner option. The ward has a sofa for a companion, visits are practically unrestricted.

Strong oncologists and an excellent department dealing with punctures and removal of fluid from the abdominal cavity.

Cons:

The oncology department is overcrowded. Even with a ticket for 15:00, you can only get an appointment at 17:00. This happened regularly in recent months. It is very hard for seriously ill people to wait so long. I also noticed that patients with translators often go out of turn.

During the last week and a half of inpatient treatment on the second floor, the nurses many times could not get into the patient’s vein. In addition, we were told that blood could not be obtained, although it later turned out that the hospital had not even submitted a request.

In our case, stronger pain relief was needed, but we did not get it. On holidays there were also no specialists able to service the abdominal drainage.

If there is an opportunity to choose a ward not on the second floor, I highly recommend doing so. That is exactly where we encountered serious disorder.

Health to everyone 😊

And I wish the hospital to put the work of the nurses and the ticket system in order.

For pricing information: an oncologist consultation for Turkish citizens is 2500 lira, the procedure for removing fluid from the abdominal cavity is 15000 lira, hospitalization is about 2500 lira per day.

The hospital has a lot of foreign patients, and due to the constant use of Google Translate the service time increases approximately fivefold.

The best hospital in Antalya for both children and adults. I have a condition that was ignored for years in other hospitals — both in Turkey and abroad. Here it was finally diagnosed and they are doing everything possible to help me control the disease and restore my health.

Yes, the prices are a little high, but that is exactly why it is a private hospital. I prefer to pay a little more than to face rude treatment and lack of attention in public hospitals.

There is only one remark: the cashier in the cafeteria (the woman who usually sits on the right) is very rude.

My respected Professor Ahmet Turan Aydin from the orthopedic department of Memorial Antalya Hospital performed surgery on my right knee, which was in a very problematic condition.

The operation was extremely complex, since it should have been done at least ten years earlier. Nevertheless, my professor and his team successfully carried out the intervention and achieved a positive result.

With respect, I thank them. Huge thanks to Professor Ahmet Turan Aydin, to whom you can safely entrust your treatment in the field of orthopedics.

I was very satisfied with Professor Koray. However, the prices are really very high, additional medical insurance is not accepted, and the meal menu was composed very unprofessionally.

I asked whether you have a dietitian, and I was told that you do. But how can a dietitian work at such a hospital, composing a menu so that in one meal rice pilaf and a milk rice dessert are served at the same time?

That said, the hospital was clean.

Last week I had a hip replacement at Memorial. We were very impressed by the hospital: starting from the valet parking service, the friendly and professional staff, and ending with the cleanliness and modern equipment.

The translator was named Kubra, and for her there were no unsolvable tasks. The operating doctor was Murat Baloglu. Both provided excellent service.

I would recommend this hospital and its wonderful staff to everyone.

The hospital is more than wonderful, advised many friends. We are currently continuing treatment in the hospital, we are undergoing chemotherapy. Thank you dr. Adnan and dr. Serkana.

Hello, I use the services of the clinic Memorial is not the first time and are always satisfied. The quality of care in top-level MEMORIAL clinics.

2 years of happy and fulfilling life after a complicated operation, this is the best score of Memorial Clinic and its doctors !!

I had a kidney transplant. I am very satisfied. I thank my doctors, Burak and Emre Bey and the hospital staff! You are very professional in your business.

Greetings to all, on February 12, 2016, I had an operation to remove the L2 schwannoma, the result exceeded even the wildest expectations! I am very grateful to the doctors and medical staff for their professionalism and care, I want to express special gratitude to Fatih Khan Bölyukbashy, a neurosurgeon, thanks to their equipment and the technique used, I have all the reflexes and full sensitivity, two days after the operation I rather confidently moved in the corset, after a month they allowed I am ready to begin my work, I am very glad that I went to this clinic. I highly recommend this clinic and doctors.

The operation was performed by Dr. Zeki Sekerci
I am very grateful. I am satisfied with the hospital as well as with the staff.

I was operated on for scoliosis in MediPol. Operated on by Bekir Yavuz Usar. The operation was successful. I feel very well now.

I’m very pleased with the choice of the clinic. I liked the doctors and the staff very much. Polite, competent and willing to help with any question!!

I liked everything. The prices are reasonable, the doctors are good, and they are all experts in their field. I wish you success in your affair. All private hospitals in Turkey today are for the same price.

The best private hospital in Turkey. Some medical manipulations are made by robots. The hospital is very large, it is possible to give birth in water. It’s really calm in the clinic.

As agreed we got to a good specialist, to a good clinic and at the moment we are undergoing treatment for a month. The clinic is good and the professor is good. Medipol offers a very cool hotel, the conditions are very good. Thank you for your service!

My experience at the hospital was good, because from the very first day there was a special person who helped us in all aspects — starting from the visa process and up to the end of treatment, she accompanied us. Her name is Sera Valenti, and I want to thank her. Our assigned interpreter (Samir) was also sincere and kind — thanks to this I recommend the hospital for treatment.

I was truly impressed by the level of experience and expertise of all the staff at Liv Hospital. From top to bottom they gave me what I was looking for. Mia Delgado Valdori was my international patient coordinator, who provided HUGE help in organizing all my appointments. I could communicate with Mia via WhatsApp, and she answered my questions within minutes. Samir was with me, translating for the doctors and medical staff. He coordinated my transfer from the airport to the hotel and back. As well as the shuttle service from the hotel to the hospital. Usually, if you go to a doctor for 1 issue, you spend quite a few hours there. However, in my case I saw 7 doctors and finished by 3 or 4 o’clock. I was impressed by the speed with which we moved from doctor to doctor. I definitely recommend Liv Hospital to anyone seeking help in any area of their life.

The hospital was beautiful. Our interpreters were extremely helpful. They organized everything in a timely manner and always answered us at any time of day. The doctors we had were excellent and were there for any questions. After the treatment we had to do physiotherapy. This part of the clinic was also excellent.

I came to Liv Hospital in Istanbul for a hair transplant and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The medical team was professional, the facilities modern and clean, and the results look great even at an early stage.

Special thanks to my interpreter Saleh Hreib — he was incredibly responsive, patient and made sure I understood every step of the process. His support made everything much easier and more comfortable.

Although I came for a hair transplant, I also took the opportunity to undergo a full body check-up, and was impressed by how thorough and efficient it was.

Highly recommend Liv Hospital to anyone considering medical tourism. Thanks to the whole team!

The doctor said I needed urgent hernia surgery. Got in touch at Christmas. Flew in today, on Boxing Day. Consultation at 3:00 pm with a professor of internal medicine. Laparoscopic surgery at 6:30 pm. The NHS (British National Health Service) said — 6 months. Only if strangulation occurred would I have had to hope I’d make it to the hospital in time. All the staff, the equipment — outstanding. No shortcomings.

TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF LIV HOSPITAL ULUS,

During my visit to Istanbul, my mother and I had the opportunity to undergo a check-up at Liv Hospital Ulus.

On my own behalf and on behalf of my family, I would like to express sincere gratitude for the excellent quality of service, professionalism and hospitality you demonstrated.

The hospital’s modern infrastructure, excellent organizational structure and institutional discipline in the field of healthcare impressed us from the very start. However, what pleased us most throughout this entire process was the sincerity, care and genuine, human approach of everyone — from your doctors to your staff.

Special thanks to the interpreter, Ms. Elmira Kalkan, who was with us at every stage of our process. Ms. Kalkan served as a bridge not only in language and translation, but also in the most delicate aspects of patient-doctor communication, guiding us with extraordinary care and kindness.

Her communication skills, empathy and professionalism ensured that our treatment process went both smoothly and calmly. Sharing the same environment with such qualified and dedicated staff was a source of true satisfaction for us.

I also express gratitude to your esteemed doctors — Professor Binnur Şimşek and Professor Hakan Yanar, operating doctor Sibel Malkoç, who carefully guided our process and instilled confidence in us. The knowledge, patient-oriented approach and compassion of both doctors are the best indicators of Liv Hospital’s vision of excellence in healthcare.

Although we have had various treatment experiences at different medical institutions in Turkey, the quality, systemic excellence and people-oriented service we encountered at Liv Hospital Ulus are on a completely different level. The trust, comfort and human value we felt here further strengthened our respect for your country’s healthcare system.

Therefore, I would like to thank, first of all, our doctors — Professor Binnur Şimşek and Professor Hakan Yanar, operating doctor Sibel Malkoç, and our interpreter Ms. Elmira Kalkan for their unwavering support, as well as the entire Liv Hospital Ulus team. I wish your institution continued success.

Respectfully,

On behalf of Bahrom Sadikov and my family.

You can’t make an appointment, and as soon as you get to the hospital, they charge you about €200 for the doctor’s appointment, and you have to do a blood test for about €400 before the doctor will see you. They provided an interpreter who is very attentive, listens well and explains in detail.

The prices were excessively inflated compared to the USA, which is why they are a private commercial hospital.

We went to the hospital for a hair transplant; they were very nice and responsive. We came out faster than expected, which was great. Saleh was a huge help with the procedure and in translating for us. Thank you!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Doğa Seçkin at Liv Hospital. He is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely cares about his patients. Throughout my visits he took the time to listen, explain everything clearly and make sure I felt comfortable and informed. His professional yet warm approach really sets him apart.

Liv Hospital itself is also outstanding — clean, modern and well organized, with staff who are both responsive and friendly.

Highly recommend Dr. Kerem Doğa Seçkin and Liv Hospital to anyone seeking top-quality medical care.

I am forever grateful to this wonderful team that made my treatment so easy and safe. Special thanks to Dr. Kerem Doğa Seçkin, who with his huge smile dispelled all my fears. Both the treatment itself and the follow-up were very caring. A blessing for me, thank you!

My father and I spent about 6 weeks in Istanbul for radiotherapy for him in the oncology department.

The experience was quite interesting. The employee who was in contact with our family, Mohammed, was excellent. He was very helpful with accommodation, and especially with obtaining our visa, since Voya Visa in Nigeria spent a whole month after our visas were approved without contacting us. He was able to reach a Turkish employee there who was helpful. I am grateful for this. The transfer from the airport to the accommodation was good, and the same goes for the transfers to and from the hospital. The drivers were different, most of them very friendly; unfortunately I don’t know their names, but I appreciate them. However, there were 2 in particular who were rude on several occasions, one of which hurt deeply. He refused to let my father sit in the front (it’s free seating, and sitting in the back makes my father nauseous, to the point of vomiting, which happened several times) — this angered me deeply, and I reported it, hoping something will be done about it for future patients.

Apart from this, the head doctor, Dr. Fayda, was professional and open to all questions. He could have been a little warmer.

However, his secretary is rude. Not responsive, only to interpreters, and not because of a language barrier.

There were other secretaries in other departments who shared the same strange attitude. This should be checked by the hospital. This is an international hospital, so there will be international patients. It doubles the work — to do the job and make people feel a little more at ease. Please pay attention, as this can greatly affect recommendations and ratings.

The hospital itself is clean, looks good, has a food point, many water points, medicine delivery from the pharmacy to the hospital and an ATM at the back.

The negative part is done. 🙂

I would like to use this platform to thank the two ladies who received my father for his sessions. He felt very loved and cared for. We thank you.

I would like to thank Mohammed once again for his help and for introducing me to Arrayan and Aynel, who showed me a bit of Istanbul in their free time. I appreciate you.

I would like to thank and appreciate Ugur, who left Liv hospital but took wonderful care of my father and made him feel at ease (he was the first person we met).

I would like to thank Alex, who made sure everything went smoothly: transfers, getting medicines, payments, sessions.

And last but definitely not least — I am grateful to Salih. He is a hardworking and warm interpreter who went above and beyond for us to make everything easy. His communication was very clear and detailed. He explained the steps in detail and made sure our needs were met. We are very grateful.

This is a good hospital with hardworking staff trying to make everything easier for patients. I would recommend it. And if you are going to come here, I wish you and your loved ones a full recovery. <3

The hospital is multidisciplinary and very good, although very expensive, but the attitude here is appropriate, everything is top level. My doctor Merdan Fayda is an excellent specialist, a radiologist, and the oncologist Dr. Meltem Hanım is also an excellent specialist. And a separate thank you to the interpreter girl Dilya — very attentive and responsive, always helped with everything 👍🏻

God forbid anyone ends up in a hospital. Nevertheless, a beautiful hospital — of course, for those who have money. If you have money, it’s like a hotel — oh, bliss.

My wife and I came from Los Angeles, California, to Istanbul specifically for a full check-up at Liv Hospital Ulus, and were truly impressed by the outstanding quality of service and medical care.

From the moment we entered the facility, everything exceeded our expectations — from the hotel-level modern setting to the professionalism of all the staff. We underwent a comprehensive health screening that included extensive blood tests, ultrasound of the abdomen, pelvis, thyroid and breast, as well as ECG, chest X-ray and consultations with a nutritionist, cardiologist and internal medicine doctor. The process was smooth, well organized and incredibly efficient.

In addition to the regular check-up, I requested an examination by an ENT specialist, Dr. Elçin Aritürk, since I have struggled all my life with breathing problems due to a deviated nasal septum. After a detailed examination, the doctor confirmed the need for surgery. Since this type of procedure is not covered by my insurance in Los Angeles and costs about $16 thousand there, I decided to have the surgery here at Liv Hospital.

The cost here was only $4 thousand, which also included one night’s stay. Today is the seventh day after the operation, and the silicone tubes have just been removed from my nose — it has truly been life-changing. For the first time in my life I can breathe freely through my nose. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Aritürk for her incredible care, expertise and compassion. Her approach was phenomenal and absolutely professional.

The hospital itself is world-class — far higher in quality than most medical centers we have encountered in California. The rooms, service and medical technology are all top level. The value for money is unmatched, and in fact the quality far exceeds the price. We are extremely satisfied with our experience.

We also want to express special gratitude to our interpreter and coordinator, Tatyana Kulak, who was by our side throughout the entire process. She translated everything from Turkish into Russian, provided constant support and ensured that we felt comfortable and cared for at every step. Her help was invaluable and added a personal touch that made the whole experience even more seamless.

After researching and calling five different hospitals, we chose Liv Hospital because of its fair prices and excellent reputation, and could not be happier with our decision. This will now become an annual tradition for us, and we will definitely return for our annual check-ups.

Highly recommend to anyone considering high-quality medical care abroad. Liv Hospital Ulus offers professionalism, hospitality and value at the highest level.

My interpreter Arzu was absolutely incredible. A real treasure — she made the whole experience much better. She translated everything for me perfectly, calmed my mind and was very kind. The hospital itself is very clean, and the doctors are very good. HOWEVER, if it weren’t for my interpreter, I would definitely have given them the worst review. If you take a package, every doctor will try to sell you something extra. It seems like half their job is to make you spend more money. The first doctor told me to do hormone tests and go to an endocrinologist (after they asked me all sorts of questions about my cycle, etc.), only to find out later that the testing was useless because it wasn’t done at the right point in my cycle, and the endocrinologist said she couldn’t give me any information and I needed to go back to the States and redo the tests and see a specialist endocrinologist there, or stay in Istanbul until my next cycle (lol). Finally, after I complained A LOT, they refunded me for the hormone testing, but did not refund the endocrinologist. The pulmonologist and cardiologist also tried to make me do more than $1000 worth of tests, even though all my tests were normal. My advice, if you take packages — stick ONLY to what’s in the package, unless you absolutely have to do something else. Otherwise they will just keep making what you spend there go higher and higher, making you nervous about things you shouldn’t be nervous about. Even better — wait until the end of your hospital visit, when you meet with the doctor and go through all the results carefully before deciding whether to do more tests.

I recently had surgery at Liv Ulus Hospital, and the service was excellent from the very start. First of all, my interpreter Milagros was friendly and very responsive; she made sure everything went smoothly. My doctor Orçun Uyanık was the best — I had a small complication, but it was promptly resolved, and I stayed in the hospital for one extra night. The place was spotlessly clean, and the food was good. Thanks to all the wonderful staff who made my experience so good.

My experience at Liv Hospital exceeded my expectations, thanks to the exceptional care and support the team provided.

Dr. Cagatay Ozturk’s extensive knowledge and his warm, patient manner made me feel at ease throughout my treatment. I appreciated the personalized approach.

Khatia — the interpreter was incredibly responsive, explaining complex medical details in a way that was clear and reassuring.

Overall, Liv Hospital’s modern facilities and welcoming atmosphere significantly contributed to my positive experience. The staff were attentive and professional.

I had an excellent experience at Liv Hospital Ulus. I came to Istanbul from abroad to undergo a PET-CT scan there. Everything was exceptionally well organized!

First I had a conversation via WhatsApp with a Russian-speaking coordinator, where we discussed the preferred date of my visit, the procedure and prices. I was also asked to specify the exact date and time of my flight, as well as the address of the hotel where I planned to stay, in order to arrange the transfer.

Then I was introduced to a wonderful Russian-speaking interpreter, Katerina, who helped us at every step and was always ready to help.

A transfer was arranged from the airport to the hotel, from the hotel to the hospital and back the next day, and finally to the airport on my last day in Istanbul.

Katerina met us at the reception and accompanied us to the PET department. She was with me during my consultation with the doctor before the PET-CT scan and explained each step of the procedure in detail.

I received the PET-CT results within four business days, and the English translation was provided the next day.

I want to express my deep gratitude to Katerina and Liv Hospital for their great help in such a delicate matter. I will definitely return to Liv Hospital for a comprehensive check-up next year.

Thank you to Liv hospital clinic) We flew in from the USA to do stem cells for our son, he is 4.5 years old, diagnosis — autism…

We were welcomed well; first we took all the tests and went through checks with all the doctors, after which we were given the first dose, and 9 days later — the second dose 🙏🏻 The whole time the interpreter Dilya helped us, many thanks to her for the translation and help, a sincere and good person)

I also want to note that the conditions in the clinic were comfortable, all the nurses friendly)

There were side effects — I’m writing so that parents are ready for this: after the first dose there was a back spasm and pain, after the second a fever once, but these symptoms quickly passed 🙏🏻

We already see the first results and are very happy — first: sleep improved, and our son started eating more various dishes and fruits, which wasn’t the case before. I am very pleased 🙏🏻

We don’t often take the time to write a review, but when we experience truly outstanding work and care from a medical unit, it becomes a necessity! My husband and I are not Turkish, and we understand that seeking medical care outside one’s own country, especially for something as delicate as IVF for our baby project, can be difficult. However, we are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care and support provided by Professor Dr. Doğa, IVF coordinator Yağmur and the entire team of IVF professionals.

From our very first appointment they demonstrated a level of professionalism and compassion that made our IVF journey much smoother than we expected. Everything felt personal while remaining highly professional at the same time. Yağmur was always ready to answer our questions and was incredibly responsive in everything she could.

Professor Dr. Doğa’s expertise is unmatched; his ability to explain complex medical concepts clearly and reassuringly eased our anxieties at every stage, and his friendly demeanor was just right. We are also deeply grateful to Dr. Kübra, who has been with us from our very first appointment, guiding us at every step. We look forward to continuing this process with her, as her dedication to our success has significantly impacted us on this emotional journey.

Together, this incredible team not only gave us hope but also made us feel like valued participants in the process. We cannot recommend them enough to anyone considering IVF in Istanbul. Thank you all for your hard work and commitment to helping us realize our dreams! M & B S

Traveling abroad for IVF was a huge decision, but Dr. Doğa and his stellar team made every step safe, reassuring and full of love. Yağmur, Yağmur No. 2 and the sweet Canaan treated me like family — their kindness, patience and support meant more than words can express. Arzu, a wonderful interpreter, made communication easy and made me feel truly cared for throughout the journey. Every moment in this clinic was filled with warmth, professionalism and genuine heart. I will forever be grateful to this team for helping make my dream come true. They will always hold a special place in my heart.

I strongly recommend the clinic to anyone seeking quality medical services. The orthopedic surgery team I worked with (Dr. Ramazan Erden Ertürer, Dr. Gökhan Kürşat and others) was very qualified and professional. Special thanks to the interpreter Svetlana Berezova-Kaba. Svetlana is a true professional: always available, responsive, helps with appointments, recommends the best doctors, meets us on time, accompanies us through all stages of treatment and makes communication with the doctor very pleasant.

We received outstanding medical services during our cardiology appointment and examinations, for which I am deeply grateful. From start to finish the whole experience was exceptional. The professionalism of the doctor, the interpreter and the entire medical team was wonderful, ensuring that every detail was clear and that we felt truly heard and respected throughout the process.

Special appreciation to Professor Alp Burak Çatakoğlu, whose impeccable professionalism and extraordinary dedication stood out. He is not only an exceptional specialist but also a truly wonderful person — gentle, attentive, caring and deeply empathetic. Thanks to his kindness and expertise, what is often a stressful experience for an elderly patient became one of the most memorable and comforting medical encounters of his life. For this we are deeply grateful.

I was impressed by how all our documentation was carefully reviewed, and everything was handled with great care by Professor Alp Burak Çatakoğlu, which brought much-needed clarity. The kindness and attentiveness we received made a significant difference, ensuring that we felt supported and cared for at every step.

A heartfelt mention of Alina Aşar, our interpreter, whose impressive medical knowledge, in addition to her empathy and professionalism, made a huge difference. Her dedication and passion were remarkable — she offered her full attention and unwavering support, bringing warmth to every interaction and making us feel as if we were the only patients. She was incredibly attentive and meticulous, ensuring that every detail was clear and that we felt fully supported the whole time.

I learned about the hospital and Professor Alp Burak Çatakoğlu through Simona Ionascu from Simedical, who seamlessly facilitated our access to the hospital and took care of all the logistics, ensuring that our trip from Bucharest to Istanbul was smooth and effortless. She thoroughly explained the process and offered an overview of the steps, presented our options, carefully guided and advised us at every step, and ensured that we made the best choices and decisions. Simona’s passion, commitment, medical knowledge and genuine good intentions are truly remarkable, making her not only an excellent ambassador for the hospital but also our first and most reliable point of contact. Through her professionalism and constant availability we felt fully confident in our decision, and we already felt confidence and hope, which greatly contributed to our positive experience. And the high standard of professionalism that Simona set was maintained until the very last step of our experience.

We arrived from Bucharest. In addition, the seamless transportation from the airport to the hospital added a feeling of comfort and ease. Communication throughout the journey was exceptional, and the availability of services made high-quality medical care accessible.

Heartfelt thanks to Professor Alp Burak Çatakoğlu, Simona Ionascu, Alina Aşar and the entire medical team for their unwavering dedication, professionalism and warmth. Your efforts made this experience not only smooth but truly reassuring and positive for me and my father. Thank you all!

A fabulous hospital!

The staff are friendly, responsive and attentive. We went for a check-up and were surprised by the quality and fast procedures. The doctors are experienced and speak English very well. They have interpreters in many languages!

LiV family, thank you for an amazing experience!

My recent experience at Ulus Liv Hospital was truly outstanding, leaving me deeply impressed and grateful for the exceptional care I received. From the highly qualified medical specialists to the warm and efficient support staff, every aspect of my treatment was marked by professionalism and genuine concern for my well-being.

The expertise of my attending physician was evident in his thorough understanding of my condition and his ability to convey complex information with clarity. The support staff, from reception to nurses, demonstrated a commitment to patient comfort and care that exceeded expectations.

Ulus Liv Hospital’s modern facilities and commitment to technological innovation further underscored the institution’s dedication to providing first-class medical care. The healing environment, both physically and atmospherically, contributed to a positive and reassuring experience.

I would like to draw your attention to a matter regarding my recent experiences at LIV Hospital. This week was my third visit, and I must express my disappointment with the secretaries in the MRI/ultrasound area. Their manner is consistently unfriendly, without smiles, and at times openly rude. As a person paying for medical services, like any other client, it is unpleasant to observe what looks like a difference in the treatment of foreigners and Turkish citizens. In addition, the disrespectful and offensive manner in which they interact with the interpreters helping us is deeply troubling. Unfortunately, based on these encounters, several acquaintances advised me to refrain from further visits to LIV Hospital. While I acknowledge the commendable standards maintained by the medical staff and interpreters, I firmly believe that the overall customer service experience requires immediate attention and correction. Despite the hospital’s impressive hotel-like facilities, the shortcomings in customer service undermine its reputation. Therefore, I call for a thorough evaluation and improvement of customer service protocols to ensure fair and respectful treatment of all patients and visitors.

Poor service; the doctors, the staff — everyone is stressed. They focus on money, not on patient care. The hospital is clean, but it’s strange to see a doctor who is angry and trying to treat you…

A clean hospital with good doctors. The waiting time so far hasn’t been too long either.

But, in my opinion, the design of the hospital floors is very claustrophobic. It has a low ceiling, like a metro station, and there isn’t a single window in the waiting area. On a whole floor there is only one toilet. They didn’t think to install something like a urinal — you wait for minutes for who knows what.

The hospital has more of a residence/shopping mall atmosphere. Since my preferred doctor works there, I go to him regularly. There are no parking spaces anyway. Today I gave the car to the valet, waited 31 minutes. You pay 300 lira and wait for the car in the cold.

The hospital is very, very good in all respects, but the prices are absurd — the appointment cost is 5750 lira. Supposedly the system showed 0, we said — let’s go, and it’s good we asked, otherwise there would have been a problem. Besides, paying 300 lira to the valet for not even standing 10 minutes is also a separate piece of foolishness. Look at the system, a person came out in 10-15 minutes — make a gesture, what does it cost you, in this I consider it a minus 🙏🏻

Located in a first-class spot. I have visited many hospitals around the world and can easily say that Turkey knows this sector very well. The doctors are highly qualified, the hospitality is excellent, and so far everything is good.

The missing star is due to the absence of an invoice in English.

Highly recommend.

It’s a pleasant clinic, but no more than that. The price tag is unjustifiably expensive, while the service is average.

A good hospital, but very crowded.

I would like to express my gratitude to Experts Medical for providing high-quality services in the field of medical tourism. They operated on scoliosis in Turkey. Special thanks to the coordinator Natalia Storozhenko, who helped with choosing the clinic, assisted with kind advice and was always in touch. I wish your company success and a bright, fruitful future.

The hospital is very good, however people pay 25-30 thousand lira for surgery, and that’s the lowest — like nose, ear. Right at the entrance they created a whole army of valets, mashallah — under the name ‘parking fee’ a bad robbery is happening, they charge 30 lira for 1 hour. The hospital is already located in a traffic-problematic area, and since there isn’t even a street where you can leave a car — you are forced to pay. Fine, charge a fee, but I would say, be a little more conscientious. Not every field is a commercial enterprise; people come there for healing. Respectfully.

A good hospital, the doctors are very good, but pointlessly expensive. If you don’t have private medical insurance, you may pay an excessively high price for laboratory and radiology.

The hospital is excellent. I’ll explain why 3 stars. First of all, they have good, understanding doctors who listen.

Their nursing team is very attentive. The rooms are clean, and they have 5-star service when it comes to cleaning and food.

So why only 3 stars? For an international hospital that targets foreigners, there is a language barrier. You will have difficulties with almost everyone. The reports and everything are in Turkish. I asked for my report, and they said the English version would be ready tomorrow. It took me a week to get one, which was translated hastily and with Google Translate.

Something else I found disappointing — the fact that they told me they would offer me discounts, and actually started billing me every day, and when I ask them about the discounts, they tell me when I leave the hospital! But I am actually paying you every day. I did not like this business model and the lack of honesty.

Otherwise it’s an excellent hospital. If you find a doctor who speaks English — I was lucky to have one — and you can ignore their money-machine tactics, you’ll be fine.

Thanks to Professor Dr. Aslı Çurgünlü and Dr. Recep Dodurgalı.

Speedy recovery to everyone.

We are grateful for the assistance provided by the Live Hospital, in the future we will recommend this Hospital to all our friends and acquaintances. Everything was at the highest level!!! The cardiologist Dr. Burak is a real doctor! Words of gratitude cannot express this; he is a professional in his field! Thanks also to the patient care team.

The best hospitals in Turkey, professional doctors and the latest technology. They literally saved my father! I express my deep gratitude to professor Dr. Alp Burak Katakoglu (cardiologist), Dr. Ozgur Kavdaroglu (surgeon), professor Dr. Hakan Teoman Yanar (surgeon), professor Dr. Meltem Topkaletstseli Selam (oncologist), you are wizards!

Prices are comparable to private Romanian hospitals, so for us, Live Hospital was the best choice!

I liked everything very much. Caring staff are excellent, special thanks to kind girls (translators)! Doctors are really specialists of the highest professional level. I am very glad that I got to Live.

After visiting Live Hospital, we only have good impressions. Dr. Selemi Suzubish – above all praise, he was very polite, correct, patient, answered all our questions in detail and explained. We are also very pleased with the work of the coordinator and translators. It should be noted that the examination procedure performed by means of the cool tomograph was very difficult and hard for the child. We did not pass it in one step, the second part was carried out the next day.

I was examined and diagnosed with that bladder cancer located on the front wall. Using an artificial bladder transplant, I had a successful operation that allowed me to return to normal life. Infinitely grateful to professor Tahir Karadeniz and hospital staff.

Our experience in Anadolu hospital is great. We are extremely satisfied  with the excellent service  we received from the hospital staff, starting from the nurses to the surgeons. Coordinators Nana and Marta were very helpful in every step, the translators Sophi and Natia did their best to comfort us.

And finally we are so grateful of the main surgeon, Dr. Mehmet Caglar Berk, who showed the high proffecialism, did outstanding job, and saved my husbands life.

Thank you!

I would like to thank Maria Rybalova for helping me find a good specialist! In a difficult situation your help is invaluable! Thank you for your professionalism, attention, efficiency and kindness.

I want to thank Experts Medical from the bottom of my heart for organizing and supporting my treatment in Turkey. I went to Turkey for childbirth. Thanks to Natalia from Experts Medical, I was selected the best doctor and clinic for all my requirements. accompaniment before childbirth, childbirth itself and the postpartum period, I felt confident, because Natalia was in touch with me 24/7, she controlled many issues herself, helped in emergency situations and responded to any request. Being in a foreign country without knowing the language is very important to have someone you can count on in any situation. From now on, I will organize treatment abroad only with Experts Medical.

I would like to express my gratitude to Tatiana and the whole Experts Medical team for organizing our treatment and examination in Istanbul. Highly professional people, everything is very organized, clear, fast!!!
Thank you very much to the whole team, special thanks to Tatiana!
Best of luck to you!!!

I would like to thank the Turkish clinic ANADOLU and all the staff for such a warm and professional reception, and I thank all the related organizations!

Brain injury This hospital is outstanding. In my humble opinion, it meets the highest level of medical standards. The staff is very competent, caring, friendly, and supportive. The conditions are very good. The place is remarkable – it is right in front of the Sea of ​​Marmara, with a very beautiful park. But do not use their hotel. It is called Titanic, a very bad association.

Super hospital, very professional doctors!!! I recommend it to everyone!

The hospital is very clean. Doctors are very courteous and professional. Thank you very much for the help in the treatment.

I can say that this is one of the best hospitals in the region. But it is important to remember that for the treatment of the disease the main thing is a good specialist who has at his disposal modern equipment. You will find this at the Anadolu clinic. The staff is kind and courteous.
