Endocrinology abroad

I came here in the spring of 2022 with a diagnosis of stage 4 adenocarcinoma.

The head of the International Department, Lala, handled the organization of the treatment process. The organization was at the highest level. I was admitted to the hospital immediately and treatment began without delay, since the malignant process was progressing.

I received modern diagnostics and treatment — chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The disease receded. A follow-up PET CT 7 months after treatment showed a complete absence of tumor activity.

Modern treatment and diagnostic equipment, quality medicines, professionalism — that is İstinye Üniversite Hastanesi Liv Hospital in Istanbul.

Special thanks to oncologist Tahsin (Uzm. Dr. Tahsin Özatlı), radiologist Taylan (Uzm. Dr. Taylan Bükülmez) and his staff Irmak and Melisa. Also special thanks to the clinic’s International Department employee, guide-translator and graduate of Kharkiv Medical University, Imran (Imran Fiyruzoğlu).

In this hospital they give you a chance and the opportunity to live!

I went to Istinye hospital for physical rehabilitation, special thanks to the physiotherapists there, a very clean and good hospital.

At İstinye Üniversite Hastanesi Liv Hospital, medical services are generally offered in a professional and modern setting. The doctors and medical staff are attentive, but in some cases there is non-compliance with appointment times and long waits. I also think they need to be more transparent on pricing. The hospital is clean and has a strong technological infrastructure, but the patient communication and information processes could be improved.

Liv Hospital Bahçeşehir! We made an appointment with the plastic surgeon Orhan Fahri Demir for 16:00. They kept us waiting until 17:00, and then said the doctor had left. A very indifferent hospital, they did not even apologize.

Definitely stay away from this hospital.

On April 11, 2022, I was diagnosed with stage III ovarian cancer.

The nurse immediately began looking for a clinic for my further treatment; she found LIV HOSPITAL online and wrote to Lala Savaş.

On the same day (April 11): — Lala advised on the cost of treatment; — booked us a hotel (we were in Istanbul on April 13); — scheduled a full check-up for April 14: MRI, PET-CT, gastroscopy, tests, a meeting with the oncologist (thanks to Dr. Tahsin Özatlı 🙏 after 1 year and 7 months I fully recovered!); — already on April 17 I had my first chemotherapy.

I listed everything above with dates so you understand how fast the international department works.

I also want to add about the international department’s service: if you arrive by plane you will be met at the airport and taken to the hotel; transfer from the hotel to the clinic and back is provided; a translator accompanies you during all procedures at the clinic; translators are with you 24/7 (my favorite translators are Imran and Can 🫶); if you need a consultation with a doctor you are not currently booked with but really need, they will find you a slot.

After chemotherapy I had an operation performed by Professor Ceyhun Numanoglu, to whom I owe my successful recovery 🙏 (after the operation I continued treatment).

I tried to write as concisely and to the point as possible.

If anyone has doubts — don’t! The doctors, medical staff, translators and the clinic itself are at the highest level!

I AM GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE I MET AT LIV HOSPITAL

The hospital is new and fully equipped. Despite being private, there are some problems — I encountered this. For example, you can only book an ultrasound a few days in advance. There are many good and attentive doctors. Also, almost half of the patients are Arabs. The prices are naturally high.

I want to express my deepest gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Baran Yılmaz for the exceptional care and expertise he provided throughout my deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.

Having gone through this transformative surgical journey, I am incredibly lucky to have had you as my neurosurgeon. From our first meeting, your knowledge, confidence and the genuine empathy you showed helped ease my fears and made me feel confident that I was in the best possible hands.

Your remarkable surgical skill and attention to detail during the DBS procedure were evident in the successful results I experienced. I am grateful for the time and care you took to thoroughly explain each step of the surgical process to me.

In addition, your unwavering support and encouragement throughout my recovery period were invaluable. Your willingness to address my concerns, answer my many questions and provide reassurance made this difficult journey much more manageable.

Beyond your technical expertise, what stands out most is your compassion and genuine care for your patients. You were always willing to take a few extra moments to offer comfort and support.

In conclusion, thank you again for the exceptional care you provided during my DBS surgery. You have left an indelible mark on my life, and I will be forever grateful.

I wish you continued success and fulfillment in your medical career.

With sincere appreciation,

Anas Alnatour

The hospital is large and fully equipped. Actually, the number of staff is also sufficient, but despite this, disputes over the queue arise in front of the doctors’ offices. Because the staff whose main task is monitoring patients are busy with other things.

Our life has been connected with İstinye Üniversite Hastanesi Liv Hospital for two and a half years now. Back in 2021, my father was diagnosed with cancer. We were looking for a place where he could receive high-quality treatment, and we found it. Despite all the difficulties and misunderstandings we had to go through, my family and I are very grateful to all the hospital staff.

Our special and immense gratitude belongs to Dr. Tahsin Özatlı, Dr. Taylan Bükülmez and Dr. Imran Fayruzoglu.

Dr. Tahsin Özatlı is my father’s oncologist and attending physician. He is an excellent specialist. He always supports and is ready to help with anything. He remained very optimistic throughout the chemotherapy course and thereby gave us the strength to continue. Over all these years we stayed in touch with him, and he always provided support and advice, answering all questions very quickly.

Dr. Taylan Bükülmez is my father’s radiologist. He is an excellent professional. He drew up a very precise radiological treatment plan with exact doses based on the results of my father’s PET/CT scan. Fortunately, he convinced my father to complete the radiological treatment, although it was not easy.

During the difficult radiological treatment with many side effects, my parents were lucky to meet Dr. Imran Fayruz Oglu. He was not my father’s doctor and therefore was not obligated to help them, but he helped so much and gave so much of his energy that it cannot be forgotten. Dr. Imran Fayruz Oglu is a wonderful person, a doctor from God. He explains everything so that an ordinary person without a medical education can understand. But most importantly — he is a person with a big heart. He supports patients and gives them optimism and faith that everything will go very well.

My gratitude also goes to our warm-hearted translator Juliana. She is always caring and supportive.

My family and I thank İstinye Üniversite Hastanesi Liv Hospital for their professionalism and for the hope they gave us. We thank all the staff for their hard but such important work.

Those who give warmth, care and kindness to other people will receive much more from the universe.

I have never in my life paid such an amount for a pediatric visit; I paid 710 lira for a pediatrician to examine my child, who had a fever.

The good thing about the hospital is that it is luxurious, clean, with good amenities. They have an office on the 1st floor for international patients, where you can go through the registration process, and from there a translator will accompany you to the doctor to help with translation, since their Turkish doctors do not speak English (never in my life have I met a doctor who does not speak English).

The translator also helped me at the pharmacy; he is from Syria and was very pleasant and responsive.

They also have a valet service that costs 15 lira, and the service was very good.

Overall the experience was good, except for the very high price.

Our wonderful experience with Dr. Coordinator Marina.
I would like to express my great gratitude to Dr. Marina, as well as to her assistant Marina. In the shortest possible time from the moment of leaving a request, I was contacted by the assistant Marina, carefully listened to the essence of our problem and passed the information to the coordinating doctor Marina. Then we listened to the diagnosis in detail, clarified all the data and in the shortest possible time selected a method of treatment, a clinic, as well as a highly qualified professor who met all our needs. I would also like to note that our financial capacity was taken into account and we were offered an option that also suited us. Dr. Marina was on call 24/7 and answered all our questions very quickly. A consultation with a professor neurosurgeon was quickly scheduled and the surgery was organized. We were also assisted in purchasing tickets, booking a hotel and organized airport transfers. Upon arrival at İstinye Üniversite Hastanesi Liv Hospital in Istanbul, we were met by our interpreter Juliana, a very responsible and helpful person. She was with us from the beginning of the consultation with the neurosurgeon to the very discharge from the hospital, explaining every point that we were interested in. We would also like to note the high professionalism and attentive attitude to patients of Prof. Baran Yılmaz and his assistants. The İstinye Üniversite Hastanesi Liv Hospital that was chosen for us has modern medical equipment, excellent and responsive staff in the clinic.
We would like to thank the coordinating doctor Marina, her assistant, our interpreter and all the staff of the clinic for organizing our treatment! Thank you for cooperation and quick qualified solution of our problem.
I recommend it 100%

The review is written on Experts Medical’s profile on Trustpilot.

I am receiving treatment in medical oncology. I want to thank the nurses of the chemotherapy department and my doctor very much.

My first visit to the hospital. I like the atmosphere and the discipline. The staff are very kind and responsive, especially in the radiation oncology department. I will record my impressions of the hospital during my radiotherapy visits and will add my comments to this review as events unfold at the hospital.

I had a hair transplant at İstinye Üniversite Hastanesi Liv Hospital, very good doctors, they did the whole operation in 6,5 hours, gave all recommendations and medications. Special thanks to the assistant Dr. Marina, she is very helpful.

The review is written on Experts Medical’s profile on Trustpilot.

I would like to thank Experts Medical, namely Dr. Konstantin for prompt organization of medical treatment. I contacted the company through the website and on the same day I received a reply on WhatsApp from Konstantin. Konstantin organized a face-to-face consultation at LIV Istinje University Hospital, transfer from the airport and to the airport, booked a hotel and announced the date of the consultation at the clinic, everything went quickly and organized, many thanks to Dr. Konstantin, Marat, Dr. Orhan Fakhri Demir, translators Juliana, Emin and Vera.

First of all, this is my second visit to Istinye hospital. The first visit was limited to an appointment only.

This time, due to my wife’s illness, the hospitalization and operation took place on the 15th floor.

Although the hospital is extremely modern, I saw that the competence of the staff and the way things are run are not entirely satisfactory. I understand — you are waiting to see whether I will write something concrete.

a) I believe that the cleaning, catering, etc. services, as well as the work of the nurses, are not at a proper and satisfactory level. It is now 11:42, and cleaning has not yet come to our room. The team conducting the satisfaction survey, instead of entering the room and checking and taking notes themselves, asks the companion.

b) Most importantly — the order of the surgery queue is not respected.

c) There is no waiting room on the operating floor, and on the inpatient floors you cannot get information about the stages of the operation from the floor nurses or through electronic systems. For this reason, I had to wait for hours under stress.

d) Patient registration at the entrance is a complete fiasco, you could say. They hand you a pen and paper and ask you to write something, but there is not a single counter.

I have many more remarks, but I don’t want to drag it out.

Despite being a private hospital, the staff and communication systems are insufficient. Apparently there are HR problems. The staff need to be properly guided. Test prices are also something to pay attention to — there are items they charge 5 times more for.

Hello, my husband — SERHAT YİGİT — my husband tore his anterior cruciate ligament, and an operation was performed at this hospital in 2018. The operation was carried out by Dr. ÖZCAN KAYA. My husband’s first operation failed. In that condition, physiotherapy was prescribed, and swelling formed at the operation site. At the same hospital, they performed another operation on him. They sent him home, said he would recover within 6 months; the end of 2019 is approaching, my husband walks with difficulty, still in pain, and at another hospital an MRI was done again. The doctors said an operation was needed. Now he faces a 3rd operation. My husband’s mental state is completely broken. I will sue this hospital with a claim for both material and moral compensation; we suffered so that others would not suffer…… please take note.

We are very satisfied with the medical care provided, the doctors and the medical staff. We are fighting a serious health problem. After a blood test, you must definitely eat before taking the medication. The cafeteria fills with cigarette smoke. In this area, patients both eat and wait. The smoking area should not be so close; it really has a negative effect on the hospital environment and the patient’s quality of life. A solution must be found urgently…

I would like to thank Experts Medical service, namely Dr. Konstantin for prompt organization of our medical diagnostics and all-round support from the beginning to the end. I contacted the company through the website and the very next day I received a reply on WhatsApp from Dr. Konstantin. This is a person with great empathy and patience – he gave explanations and recommendations to all my million questions and worries very competently, quickly and professionally. Our doctors in Kazakhstan recommended corrective surgery for my son and recommended a clinic in Serbia. Dr. Konstantin helped us to contact the clinic directly and get their absentee consultation. In addition, we were organized an in-person diagnosis at the LIV University Hospital (Istanbul). Fortunately, the need for surgery was not confirmed and we returned home. It was the first time we had the experience of applying to foreign clinics, but everything went with confidence and peace of mind, as there were clear instructions and constant communication with Konstantin. Thank you for everything!

The hospital is clean and modern, attention and care are there. Before the operation, the nurse tried 3 times to find a vein, couldn’t, and said “we’ll solve it in the operating room” — there too they tried 3 times, and in the end placed the catheter on the back of the foot. I did not raise my voice, but I doubted their professionalism — I take one point off here. They did the operation, and when I came for the dressing, my doctor Haluk said “don’t hold your arm like a stick” — that astonished me. Again I did not raise my voice, but I thought to myself what kind of place I had ended up in — I take another point off here. Good work.

Maybe I can’t speak for all the doctors, but the obstetrician-gynecologist was not friendly at all, and for a patient the most important thing is friendliness and attention.

The doctors are good, the appointment is good, but you need a translator. The hospital is expensive, the nurses are arrogant and not interested in the patient… The handling of emergency cases is not very good and not organized. I was bleeding and I lost my baby, and while I was in the chair, I was moved from floor to floor for payment and paperwork. I don’t recall being in the emergency department, I didn’t even see it — they even took me to the outpatient clinic to be examined by a doctor, although I was supposed to be in the emergency department and the doctor should come to me.

Everywhere they do a COVID test for 170 lira, but here they charge 250. For your information…

We were supervised by manager Konstantin and Elor. Everything was at the highest level, in time organized transfer. Service and customer service is just super. Together with the patient experience the whole process. Thank you very much to all the staff of Liv Clinics!

I would like to thank İstinye Bahçeşehir Hospital for their support during my father’s 4-month treatment, especially my endless gratitude to SELİM ŞEKER and BARAN YILMAZ from the neurosurgical department, and a thousand thanks to my doctor HAKAN in the palliative care service and all the staff in the palliative care service. Everyone is very good, they took very good care of us. God bless you all.

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

Thank you Ms. Wish and Ms. Birsen, !!! Great hospital. Everything is top notch. The service. Food. The staff is good. Large comfortable rooms! Special thanks to Dilbar – our coordinator! And a huge thank you to Dr. Baran Yilmaz.

Liv Istinye is a modern and well organized hospital, especially for international patients. All steps of our trip were planned carefully. Doctor Baran Yilmaz answered all important questions about the forthcoming procedure, he was pleasant and open for discussion. He and his assistant, Esra performed the procedure professionally and with kind approach that minimizes my discomfort and anxiety. Our experience was fulfilled by the efforts of Edina who helped us for organizing the trip and Lejla who was with us in the most difficult moments.

My mother was treated at your hospital. We were very pleased with our chemotherapy doctor, Tahsin, and our nurses, Deniz and Sevim, who conducted our treatment. We are very grateful to all of them.

Associate Professor Umit Koc performed an operation on my father, my father, who had a heart disease at the age of 85, got up that day, thank God, a very caring doctor, very decent quality in the hospital, we were very satisfied, thank you for everything to the staff of Liv Hospital.

I was very satisfied with the service of the orthopedic doctors, I pass on my thanks to all of them. Love to Görkem, Kaya, Haluk and Gürkan Hoça.

I highly recommend Liv Istinier Hospital, the doctors are very kind and the hospital is very clean. A big thank you to Tansi and Abdulbasit from the international office for always helping with the interpretation, they are very dedicated, hardworking and determined employees that any organization would be proud of, they are always ready to help.

My first ever time abroad and I was solo went for breast augmentation, 360 lipo and BBL. My surgeon, surgeon assistant and translator were phenomenal no pain from day 1, I’ve waited to write this as I wanted to heal first. My BBL is beautiful and I’m super skinny from my lipo and the girls look great we went for 500cc high profile definitely will be going back for more my full journey is on my TikTok MISSHANNAHRACK

This was an amazing experience!!! Doctor Yakub Duman is very professional and knows his job! Also an assistent Victoria was very helpful and kindly have asked to 1000 of my questions! Hospital is very comfortable and very clean! Also as a hotel- with very nice personal and tasty breakfasts!!! I bring 10 from 10💯❤️and also- I was with my 5 years old son- big big thanks to Victoria- she was also sitting with my baby during my surgerie!!! Big thanks to her and all of hospital🙏

I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Yakup Duman for his professionalism. I had never undergone any surgeries before, and I completely trusted the doctor. My nose looks perfect — I could never have imagined that I could look this amazing. My life has changed significantly, and I’ve become much more confident in myself. It truly felt like I went on a vacation, not a surgery. The care was excellent, and the coordinator, Victoria, was very friendly and always available. Thank you, Central Hospital — choosing you was undoubtedly the right decision!

Hello! I was in this hospital four weeks ago and I can only say one thing — I am very satisfied with how I was treated there.
Everyone was very friendly, and the hospital itself was very clean.
Keep up the good work! 👌

I underwent gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy).
Dr. Murat Shendur and his team are wonderful, I highly recommend them! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The condition of the hospital rooms was much worse than I expected in terms of quality! ⭐️

The first transfer in a VIP car was uncomfortable: neither the driver nor the driving style were satisfactory. ⭐️

But after the operation, we were driven by a driver from the clinic — if I’m not mistaken, his name was Mehmet Bey.
He was so polite, careful, and cautious behind the wheel that he was a true professional. Appreciate drivers like that! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I arrived on Monday for a gastric sleeve. I had all my tests done upon arriving. Jebur was my translator and he explained everything perfectly. I met with my surgeon Dr Murat the morning of my surgery and he also went into great details and answered all my questions. Ahlen & Buera are so kind. Welcoming and easily make you feel as ease and help in anyway they can. Thank you all

Hospital looks very clean and nice and it’s very organized. Most of the staff is OK but not all the nurses are caring. While some of them are always friendly and helpful, other orget about you when sitting in the patient room or don’t treat you too kindly, and when you call them they come all grumpy like you are disturbing them.

My little son had gotten pneumonia, and due to his situation he needed to stay in the hospital, he was admitted to Central Hospital for 6 days. They cared for him so much, the hospital room was so clean, and the nurses and staffs are so professional. They behaved so friendly and professional. We didn’t feel that we are foreigners. The doctor checked my son two times per day and one time at night. Thank you to all personnel. I recommend highly this hospital to everyone.

Mrs. Isil ve all team members are amazing. They all work hard, care for patients and behave from the heart with respect. This time (June 5th 2023) was for VIP Check up and all completed in 1 short day, fast and professional way. Mrs. Isil, and hospitals great doctors are all surpassed my expectations.

Hello,

When I was searching for a hospital and a doctor myself, I also tried to make my decision based on ratings, reviews and other people’s experiences. That is why I too wanted to share my experience.

Forty days ago I gave birth at Memorial Hastanesi. I am very satisfied with Dr. Ertuğrul Karahanoğlu. I was looking for a doctor in the field of high-risk pregnancy, and I am glad our paths crossed. 🍀

My doctor was always very courteous, understanding and trustworthy. I trusted him with a light heart in everything. He was always there for my wishes and sensitive moments, reassuring me about any concern that worried me. Now, looking back, I feel I couldn’t have gone through this process with another doctor. Choosing him as our doctor was truly a great fortune for us. 🫶🏼💐

As for the hospital — when I was pregnant and attending the Pregnancy School events, listening to what was said, I wondered: “Is this advertising talk or are you really this good?” 😃

Now, having gone through the whole process, I can say with a light heart — I saw far more than what was described. The team was truly very good. Both before and after the birth, we were wonderfully cared for in everything.

I especially want to thank midwife Filiz and midwife Gülnur. 🤍 I felt them not as midwives but as my close ones. Midwife Filiz dealt with such a difficult patient full of fears as me with great patience — not every midwife can handle that. She helped me overcome my fears and did everything possible so that I could give birth.

Midwife Gülnur also did not leave me alone after the birth. Even when I came to the hospital later, she again provided training from the very beginning on breastfeeding and baby care. In the postpartum period, the fact that a person does not feel alone turns out to be truly very valuable.

On this occasion I also want to thank Dr. Burak Çağlarsu, whom I met at the Pregnancy School. Dr. Burak, midwife Filiz and midwife Gülnur are all still in touch and continue to look after us. When I have a question or need help, the fact that they say “we are here” is very precious.

The fact that after the birth you are not treated with a “your business is done” approach, but on the contrary continue to be supported, really makes a person feel good.

I also gained a lot from the Pregnancy School. Due to the information chaos in my head, many questions arose, to which I found answers there. The atmosphere was also very warm and cheerful. I am glad I joined. I just wish I had joined earlier. 😊

I could go on for a long time, but for now — a big thank you for the attention, care, effort and support you showed throughout the entire process, Memorial Hastanesi. 🤍

If there are expectant mothers who are hesitant like I was, based on my own experience I can recommend this team with a light heart. 🫶🏼💐

I am glad our paths crossed. 🌸

If I were to give birth again, I would choose Memorial again and Dr. Kudret again. May Allah be pleased with all the hospital staff and our doctor. When we began the pregnancy process, Dr. Kudret’s knowledge, warmth and sincerity delighted us. The fact that he looked at us not as patients but as his own children, his attentiveness — made all the question marks in my head disappear. My doctor, to whom we eagerly hurried at every check-up, it’s good that you exist ❤️ After the birth we stayed on the 6th floor from 22/04/2026 to 24/04/2026; I don’t remember the names of the nurses on day and night duty, but everyone was very attentive. Every time I pressed the call button, they came instantly and didn’t leave the room without solving our problems. Since it was my first pregnancy, every time we got into difficulty out of inexperience, we asked the nurses for help, and they came without irritation, without a sullen face. When they came — they both taught us and solved our baby’s problems. They didn’t say “do it this way” and leave; sometimes they stayed in our room for half an hour. A big thank you to all of them for everything ❤️

We also thank the cleaning staff, especially the daytime employee 🙏🏻

Filiz and Gülnur, whom we met at the Pregnancy School, also welcomed us very warmly, came to our room, gave individual training. When we asked about something on our mind, instead of reading out theoretical information and leaving, they showed it in practice. From how to file the nails to how to put the baby in the stroller when we leave ❤️ May Allah be pleased with them ❤️ Health to everyone for their effort, a big thank you for everything. It’s good that MEMORIAL ❤️

Very clean hospital, the staff very friendly, the doctors professional, thank you. Also every appointment was on time, without waiting, clean toilets.

Regarding the various medical services I received at different times at Memorial Hastanesi in Ankara, overall I had a very good experience.

In the ENT department, Professor Dr. Erdal Seren performed septoplasty and laser turbinate reduction surgery on me. Before the operation, the process was calmly and clearly explained to me. The operation went as planned, and afterwards I noticed that my breathing problem was completely corrected. Throughout the whole process I felt safe.

In the period before and after the operation, the attention and approach of the nurses made the process much more comfortable for me. Their willingness to help with everything and regular monitoring really made a difference.

In the dermatology department I had a cyst removal and biopsy process with Professor Dr. Nilgün Solak — the fact that the results turned out clean was a great relief. I also had a jawline filler and anti-sweating botox — and I was satisfied with the results. The information before the procedures and the approach were quite comfortable.

Earlier, when I was not yet 18, Professor Dr. Ersoy Çivelek performed allergy tests on me. Through a blood test and a skin prick test it turned out that I am allergic to cats and dogs. I was satisfied with the process and the information.

In addition, the fact that the hospital is well versed in private insurance and directs the process correctly was an important advantage for me. Overall, the approach of the doctors, the attention of the nurses and the order in the hospital made Memorial Hastanesi in Ankara a place I can trust.

The sleep apnea operation performed in the ENT department by my esteemed Professor Dr. Erdal Seren went extremely successfully and comfortably.

I sincerely thank my professor for the attention, explanatory clarifications and trust-inspiring approach he showed starting from the preoperative period and throughout the entire process. I am also grateful to the entire ENT team for their professionalism and friendliness.

For such successful provision of medical services I thank their families and wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone.

On 29 January 2026 my father underwent a very successful robotic mitral and tricuspid valve operation by cardiovascular surgeons Professor Murat Kadan and Professor Cengiz Bolcal. However, no matter how successful the operation itself was, afterwards — both because of my father’s age and because it was his second heart operation, as well as because of other chronic diseases (diabetes, COPD, hypertension, etc.) and other reasons (sometimes what is bound to happen happens) — after 2 days he had bleeding, and Dr. Murat took him to surgery again on Sunday evening at 21:30. He intervened at the source of the bleeding and stopped it. Of course, after two consecutive heart operations the recovery process dragged on, and we had a very hard week for the patient. About 5 more days later, due to fluid accumulation in the lung after the operation, the chest was reopened and the fluid was drained by surgery, cleaned, accelerating the lung’s recovery process.

At all these stages, first of all Dr. Murat Kadan, as well as all the cardiovascular surgeons, with all sincerity tried to do the best they could — this we, as relatives of the patient, saw very clearly. Both in intensive care and in the department, all the cardiovascular surgeons came morning and evening — looked, examined, checked. Dr. Murat at all these stages, regardless of time and days, informed us 24/7 in any situation, reassured and guided us. He is absolutely not one of those surgeons with the classic surgical mentality “I did my operation — that’s the end.” He stood by his patient from start to finish at every stage, cared for and watched over him — a big thank you to Dr. Murat.

What pleased us most — there is the possibility of communication; you are listened to, understood, and it is explained to you what they will do. This is the quality of a good surgeon, and a good surgeon is not irritated by questions about the upcoming operation, does not brush them off. Dr. Murat also explains in detail and reassures you without any irritation.

I write all this to help at least a little patients like us who are looking for the right surgeons, and so that the value of doctors who work to heal patients is known, so that their effort is seen.

In short, the cardiovascular surgery team of Memorial Ankara — Murat Kadan, Cengiz Bolcal, Sefa Yüce, Mustafa Farah — was very good and very successful for us. I hope it will be a means of healing for you too.

Health to your hands and your effort, a big thank you.

My mother has been a cancer patient for 8 years and has been in the terminal stage for 4 months. Over the last 3 months she received treatment in the oncology department 3 times. Endless gratitude to the oncology team on the 15th floor, especially to the department nurse Meral. Endless gratitude to our oncologists — Dr. İrem and Dr. Kaan.

My mother had an examination in the obstetrics and gynecology department and had a mammography/pelvic MRI. She was very satisfied, so she especially asked me to write a review. Our doctor was also very attentive, dealing especially with each patient. Also, from radiology, İlknur made my mother feel very comfortable — she personally wanted to thank her by name. Thanks to the whole team and the hospital 🤭

A big thank you to Professor Dr. Şefik Murat Arıkan for his help in the process of my mother’s treatment. Since she is to have an operation, he informed us about everything and shared his experience. The hospital staff is also quite sincere and attentive; also a big thank you to Selçuk for arranging the hospitalization, for his understanding and attention. All the nurses on the 8th floor of the orthopedics department (inpatients) are very friendly and attentive — a big thank you to all of them, health to their effort.

My father is in the orthopedics department. During his stay I thank nurses Melike and Sümeyye for their attention and care. Special thanks to Professor Dr. Osman Tecimer, who performed the operation.

We stayed at Memorial Hastanesi on a childbirth package. First of all I especially want to thank the nurses on the 10th floor — their attention, professionalism and support were truly excellent. Also, thanks to our doctor Aygül, we had a very successful and trouble-free operation, for which we are sincerely grateful.

At the same time there were moments we were not satisfied with. After the transfer to the room, despite the fact that we were tired, staff from the dietitian, psychologist, etc. departments came into the room one after another, handed out cards and gave long explanations. After the birth, trying to rest, we were constantly interrupted — this quite tired us.

Also, the fact that drinks were not served with the food (juice, etc.) — this needs to be improved. The air conditioner in the room did not cool enough, and the fold-out sofa for the companion was quite uncomfortable.

Overall we were very satisfied with the doctor ★★★★★ and the nurses ★★★★★, but we think it would be useful to make improvements in terms of accommodation and room arrangement.

Our first child was born here. We spent one night, the staff constantly attended to us from the beginning to the end of the birth process. It was a clean and beautiful hospital. You can choose with a light heart. There were also free hairdressing services, but since the hairdresser was a man, we didn’t use them; it would be good if they added a women’s option too.

Our doctor Kaan became the cure for our trouble. For my 85-year-old father, a cancer patient, he found and applied the best treatment. He improved my father’s quality of life. He is both one of the best in his field and a very courteous and attentive person. A big thank you, doctor. It’s good that you exist.

We are receiving treatment in pediatric oncology. Our doctors Meriç and Seda support us in everything. Among the nurses in the inpatient department, when discharging a patient, Yeliz provides support and helps with everything. In cleaning our room, Ayşe — their names need to be mentioned separately, because it is their merit. The problem is that the pillows and bedding brought to the room constantly arrive late, and the manner of the staff in the cafeteria in general… A clean, organized and attentive hospital. Thank you.

In the ophthalmology department of the hospital in Ankara, on 11.02.2022 I had an examination with the specialist doctor Neslihan Astam. For a small operation, despite the fact that the doctor was free, I waited 1 hour. Unfortunately, patient satisfaction is not important to her at all; I do not recommend.

Dr. Murat Oz performed my hysterectomy in January 2024. We are very lucky to have such a doctor working at Ankara Hastanesi Memorial and seeing patients. I have never met such a caring and knowledgeable doctor in my life. I can sincerely say that he is one of the three best in his field in the country. Thank you, dear doctor.

One of the best hospitals in Ankara and Turkey. The cardiologists are impeccable. They also have very good interpreters for foreigners.

My wife gave birth here; the prices are of course high, but everyone was very attentive, everything was good. Only the discharge procedure is bad — they drag it out a lot, they do it only if they are in the mood, so that we can leave the hospital. Another point — there is not enough parking.

There is very poor coordination between the admissions department and the inpatient department. The room to which you directed us for hospitalization turned out to be occupied, and for about 2 hours we waited in the lobby for it to be vacated. Apart from this, everything was as it should be. Professor Ali Oto and his team are number 1 in their work. Also, the male nurse Batuhan Öztürk in the inpatient department is also number 1. A big thank you for everything.

In cardiovascular surgery you lie on the table 5 times at Ankara Güven Hospital. Güven Hospital’s Cardiovascular Surgery said “I won’t operate,” kept us in the hospital for 5 days for nothing and sent us away having done nothing. Thank you, at Memorial Professor Cem Yorgancıoğlu and his team brought us back to health with this bypass operation without any complications. A doctor must be a human being at the same time — and that is exactly what we saw in our professor. We saw a smile, attention and care. Thank you, may God grant health.

I am grateful to Prof. Ali Oto, Mrs. Dr. Kansu, the coronary intensive care team and the rest of the staff in the cardiology department for their incredible efforts, smiling faces and professionalism in treating Yuksel Tun. The hospital is very nice, the medical staff is courteous and helps me overcome my fear of admission. I am glad I came to Memorial Hospital Ankara.

At Memorial Ankara Hospital, Prof. Muhyiddin Eski performed my rhinoplasty surgery as the best and most expert in his field, with great care and focus on my health. For me, Muhyiddin Eski is undoubtedly one of the best surgeons in Turkey. I would like to thank him, his team and the entire hospital staff for their professionalism and support. Thanks to their efforts, I started breathing better after the surgery, and my recommendation for everyone is Dr. Muhyiddin Eski. Memorial Ankara Hospital is a truly high-quality medical service!

My daughter was operated on 1 week ago in the plastic and reconstructive department, we stayed in the hospital, on the 12th floor, in the surgical department for 1 night. The cleanliness, elegance and quality of the hospital are beyond question. The meals are very high quality, the attention of the staff is on top. They made us feel comfortable, like at home. I sincerely thank all the staff on the 12th floor. Your smiling faces, friendliness and professionalism made us very happy. Best regards to you all.

This was the hospital that provided the best support and care I have ever seen during pregnancy and childbirth. It was a pleasure to be treated with respect, professionalism and support for every patient. I will recommend Memorial Hospital Ankara to everyone from now on and it is the hospital we trust the most from now on. I would like to thank every staff member who took care of us, but most of all my doctor Kudret Erkenekli.

We have been together with our doctor Ertugrul Karahanoglu for about 10 months since we found out that my wife was pregnant. During this period, we had a monitoring visit and a cesarean section. We are extremely satisfied with Memorial Hospital in Ankara. We thank our doctor and his team, we really liked everything. Thanks to you, we are holding our baby in our arms. The nurses and medical staff are very attentive and friendly. The only thing we are not satisfied with is the food.

Overall my experience with the clinic’s medical staff was mostly positive — the staff were friendly and willing to help.

However, in the postoperative period there was an unpleasant situation related to the transport that raised questions for me. I was especially alarmed that during transport after surgery the medical staff were not clearly identified, and my remarks about this were not taken into account.

The management also tolerates inappropriate staff behaviour towards patients and their relatives. In my opinion, transporting patients after anaesthesia, when they are in a vulnerable state, without clear identification of staff is problematic. A lack of identification means a lack of accountability, which is unacceptable in a medical institution.

I want to express, from the bottom of my heart, my huge and sincere gratitude.

My daughter was an oncology patient and underwent chemotherapy and antibody therapy. During this difficult period we were accompanied with exceptional medical and human attention.

Special thanks to the senior doctors, especially Dr. Zimmermann and the entire medical team. They were always there for my daughter, even on weekends and holidays, always available, involved and with great compassion. We never felt abandoned.

I would also like to specially mention the nursing staff of the oncology outpatient department. The nurses were always kind, professional, patient and competent. You can see that they do their work with heart and responsibility.

Thanks to the excellent treatment, professional decisions and human support, my daughter beat cancer. We are endlessly grateful. Please pass this gratitude on to the whole team — you do a huge job, professionally and humanely.

I want to thank the whole team of the Solingen city clinical centre, especially Mr. Haider from surgery. From the very beginning I felt I was in safe hands. He explained everything in detail, was calm and professional, which gave me confidence in a difficult situation.

He always responded to my complaints and gave me the feeling that I was truly heard and taken seriously. The medical staff were also attentive and friendly. I am very grateful for the care and can fully recommend the surgical department and Mr. Haider.

The pregnancy department was excellent. The doctors, midwives and nurses were very kind, professional, and supportive. I truly appreciate the care I receive. Because of my serious situation they transferred me to another hospital. The new hospital they transferred me to has the worst nursing staff I have ever encountered in my life. Maybe it’s because I’m African. They don’t care about me and don’t listen to me. I wish I could go back to Solingen Hospital.

I deliberately chose this clinic because it uses a modern Fast-Track programme. The principles are similar to ERAS: accelerated mobilisation, structured processes and gentle recovery. The DKZ certification was also important to me. The proximity of the clinic was also an advantage for examinations and follow-up.

During my stay I noticed a high flow of patients and at times a feeling of a “conveyor belt”. There was also a sense of understaffing, which sometimes led to shortened conversations and a lack of communication.

Nevertheless the staff remained friendly and tried to answer questions when there was time. Despite the workload, the medical processes were well organised, and I felt I was in safe hands. The Fast-Track programme helped me recover faster. Overall I am satisfied with my choice and recommend the clinic.

All the hospital staff are very kind and helpful, but in the Beta department the waiting is terrible — already 2 hours without any movement. That is why only 3 stars. If the wait were shorter, I would give 5 stars.

The staff were generally fine. But the food in the hospital turned out not to be what I am used to. The bread was damp and sticky, the cheese tasteless. If I tick black tea, I want to get it, not unpleasant mint tea. It seemed as if there was a lack of dishes, and instead of normal service plastic tableware was used in large quantities.

After a complaint the breakfast became perfect, but the use of plastic tableware was still disappointing.

I was very satisfied with Dr. Schneider in urology. He is not only extremely professional but also very attentive and friendly. Everything was clearly explained, and during the treatment I felt I was in safe hands. The medical staff were also very kind and helpful. A completely positive experience.

Honestly, I was never a fan of the Solingen clinic. But my husband was there as an outpatient in cardiology with Professor Becher and his team. He was received very kindly, helped and everything was explained in detail. Thank you to the whole station for the good reception despite the circumstances. Special thanks to Professor Becher for his humanity and easy-going approach.

I want to share my positive experience in the delivery ward and the postnatal ward. The whole team was very friendly, attentive and professional. During the birth I felt safe and well monitored, which gave me great trust. Special thanks to the midwife Bettina.

The care on the postnatal ward was also excellent. The medical staff were attentive, helpful and caring towards me and my baby. The atmosphere was calm and supportive, which made the stay very comfortable.

The only small downside was the food with the paid services: orders were written down but what was ordered was not always delivered, and on the second day they brought the same food as the day before.

Overall the impression of the surgery was good, but that is the only positive.

I was admitted to the ZNA with a broken wrist, having been brought in as an emergency from Egypt. The operation should have been done quickly, but I was made to wait 9 days. In the department they do not issue prescriptions, you have to go to another building and wait again. No one warned about this.

The medication was also chosen incorrectly, no stomach protection from ibuprofen was prescribed, which caused irritation of my stomach lining. In the end I am very disappointed.

My wife is very satisfied with the surgeons and the DaVinci technology. Thanks to the operation she quickly returned home and recovered. The medical staff in gynaecology were very friendly.

The doctors are overloaded, communication between nurses and doctors is weak. The patient felt poorly informed and left without proper attention. There were problems with the organisation of treatment and staff coordination.

When we came to the paediatric outpatient clinic with the child’s skin injuries, we were met rudely and with a lecturing tone. The staff were insufficiently attentive and irritated. A calmer and friendlier attitude towards children was expected.

My family and I came from Ireland in December for brain surgery, as I had suffered from epilepsy for 14 years because of a cavernoma. For many years I had seen many doctors and hospitals in Ireland trying to get this surgery, as it caused huge problems in my life: I could no longer play sports, go out and socialise with friends, or carry out normal daily activities without small or severe seizures. Last year it happened almost daily, and it affected me greatly.

I was lucky to speak by chance on the phone with Dr. Ralf Buhl, and from the first second I felt confident and for the first time thought it could really be fixed by surgery. He spoke with me and my family and said he could operate within a few weeks. We came to Solingen, met in person, and he discussed everything we needed in detail for as long as we needed. Two days after arriving I had the operation. I expected recovery to take 1–2 months, but thanks to Dr. Buhl and his team I was back home in Ireland within a week, able to walk, talk and, for the first time in years, live in peace.

From arrival until discharge Dr. Buhl personally monitored my condition and was always in touch, giving advice and answering questions. I recommend Dr. Ralf Buhl and his team to anyone facing a cavernoma or similar problems. Where I had seen no solution for 14 years, he helped in a matter of days. I am endlessly grateful that he changed my life and the life of my family.

I recently had the privilege of undergoing surgery at Klinikum Solingen under the guidance of Prof. Schenker and I would like to share my experience. From start to finish, my treatment and care was exceptional.

From my first appointment at the clinic, I felt well taken care of. The entire medical team took the time to answer my questions and discuss my concerns. Prof. Schenker himself was extremely professional and empathetic. He explained the planned operation, the risks and the expected course in understandable terms. This helped me to better prepare for the operation and alleviate my fears.

The operation itself went smoothly and without complications. Prof. Schenker and his team showed a high level of expertise and precision throughout the procedure. I felt in safe hands throughout.

After the operation, I was carefully monitored and received first-class post-operative care. The nursing staff were friendly, attentive and always ready to meet my needs. Prof Schenker visited me personally to check on progress and discuss further steps.

The recovery time was faster than expected and I am overjoyed with the results of the surgery. Prof. Schenker and the whole team really did a first-class job and I now feel healthier and happier than ever before.

At first everything was fine: the delivery room was excellent, the staff friendly.

But in urology a patient with blood in her urine and urination problems was insufficiently examined. The doctor mentioned possible bladder cancer, but no further diagnostics were carried out. A few months later bladder cancer was diagnosed and surgery was performed at another clinic.

There were also serious problems with service, waiting times and inefficient staff work in emergency situations.

There was a nose operation. The doctors and examinations are good, the staff mostly friendly.

But there were very long waits (up to 4–5 hours), paid parking, problems with dispensing medication after surgery and poor organisation of inpatient care. There were also no proper facilities for storing belongings and limited infrastructure for patients.

I recently went to the Solingen Clinic for a medical examination.
From the moment I made an appointment, I was treated in a friendly and alert manner. The staff at the international office were very helpful and assisted me with all administrative matters.

I was looked after by a highly skilled team of doctors and nurses during the examination. They took ample time to gather my medical history and performed a thorough examination. The medical equipment and facilities at the Solingen Clinic are impressive. Everything is clean, modern and well organised, which creates a pleasant atmosphere.

After the examination I received a detailed report with all results and recommendations. The report was well structured and helped me to better understand my health condition and take the necessary measures.

My wife and I went for a check-up at the Solingen City Clinic, just when we were traveling in Germany, we were advised by friends to go to the clinic for a health check-up. Of course, I am not a fan of this kind of pastime, as I associate hospitals and tests with unpleasant feelings, but my wife insisted and we signed up for a check-up. It all took 2 days and I was very pleasantly surprised how quickly, qualitatively and painlessly all the tests and examinations were done, especially the gastroscopy. The results were emailed to us as we could no longer stay at the clinic. Alexandra and Maria from the international department accompanied us and translated during consultations and sent us medical reports in two languages. I highly recommend the Solingen City Clinic!

I was diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor, in Georgia doctors could not offer me quality treatment, I was choosing between a clinic in Germany and Israel, in the end I went to Solingen, to the center of gastroenterology to Professor Pfaffenbach. I underwent consultation, examination and surgery at the center, everything was smooth and on a high level! If I had any questions about the treatment or the consultation, I was always explained and supported, the professor is a top-level specialist, he saved my life, for which I am very grateful.

I would like to write a positive review on behalf of my husband, who was treated at the Solingen City Clinic. We returned home a few weeks ago happy and healthy. My husband’s treatment took about 6 weeks, during this time we went from fear and distrust to great joy and gratitude. In Minsk, doctors in our country only spread their hands and could not offer anything with the diagnosis of esophageal cancer with metastases to the lungs and liver. In Solingen we underwent radiation therapy, daily we were accompanied by staff from the international department, and there was no fear and anxiety due to the high level of medical care. Thank you again to the doctor and the clinic staff!

Thank you very much to Prof. Ralph Bull and the whole team at the clinic. They really saved my life.

Overall everything is very friendly and pleasantly organised, but the patient is practically forced not to eat and is woken up at night to check whether they are asleep.

The meal times are also set very inconveniently.

However, the staff are very friendly and respectful (this is just my experience).

Thank you very much to the specialists at Solingen Hospital, especially to Prof. Andreas Zestehenn. He solved the problem I had been struggling with for many years. I recommend the ENT department and the Solingen Clinic itself to everyone: everywhere is perfectly clean and tidy, the staff is very friendly and always ready to help with any problem!

The intensive care unit was good, they got my grandfather back on his feet. But then in the inpatient ward they said he was already suitable for rehabilitation. He had mucus and fluid in his body, and this was only noticed at the end, when he had to be resuscitated. Then he was transferred to a clinic in Wuppertal, where they admitted the mistake and wanted to send him back. After stabilisation he ended up at the Bethanien clinic, where unfortunately he died.

The delivery room, as well as the postnatal ward, were top in terms of staff. Everyone friendly and empathetic.

The hygiene on the ward leaves a lot to be desired: rounded corners in the bathroom, hair of the previous patient in the sink.

Despite an appointment, I had to wait 4 hours for a preliminary examination and the arrangement of two further appointments.

The staff in the ENT department were polite.

Already at the entrance everything generally seemed stressful and tense.

Got to the doctor Seifert after the usual check-up in Dusseldorf. The Solingen breast cancer treatment center was recommended not only by doctors, it found many reviews about it on the Internet. It is good that I had a disease in the initial stage, when it is easy to avoid serious consequences. Thanks to the hospital staff and the girls from the international department!

In Solingen, I performed an operation on knee arthroplasty. Excellent doctors, excellent clinic. After the replacement, I experienced absolutely no discomfort. Maybe a little pain. Just a week later, I could climb stairs. It’s been almost 4 months – everything is fine. Many thanks to the team of the orthopedic department and the head doctor!
