Proctology clinics in Turkey

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.

A week ago I had a surgery at the Bayındır clinic with Dr. Ayaz Aslan. I had all the tests and tests done beforehand, everything was quick and convenient. In the process of rehabilitation helped very good nurse and nurses. All the staff are very friendly and understanding and the clinic services were excellent, thank you!

We have been going to Bayındır hospital for a long time as a family. Of course not a perfect hospital, there are flaws, but the doctors and staff are attentive and conscientious. Especially Dr. Noorten from the therapy department and Dr. Hasibe from the dermatology department do their work thoroughly, communicate well with patients and keep them informed. There are no hygiene problems in the hospital. It is not usually very crowded. If you do not have private health insurance, the prices will seem high.

I have been seeing doctors of all specialties for about 20 years and every time I have been greeted and escorted with respect, from receptionists to doctors. I have always shown understanding for their busyness and they have patiently kept me informed. I have never encountered rude treatment. Therefore, my friends and acquaintances also visit this hospital and are very satisfied. Highly qualified and idealistic doctors are working here. Thank you.

This is a medical center with a lot of specialists in aesthetic surgery. My friend recovered quickly after the surgery. The nurse Emine Büşra at the medical center is so kind and attentive, which is a pleasant surprise.

The doctors are very good in their field. The attentive attitude of the staff is also pleasantly surprising. If the facility had a contract with SGK, the prices would be even more attractive. The nurses work professionally. Especially nurse Emine Büşra is very attentive, friendly and sincere. Bayındır Medical Center specializing in aesthetic surgeries is one of the best places for such procedures.

First of all I would like to thank Dr. Emrah Çelik. We spent one day in the hospital including the surgery and stay. The staff on the first floor of the hospital is very friendly, you feel at home and the nurse Büşra is great. However, can’t say the same about the staff at reception. It is a shame that the hospital does not have a prayer area or a dedicated namaz room.

We came from UK and one of my friend recommended me Bayındır clinic, fortunately we met Dr Zeynep Civelek Caynak, The greatest and kindest personality I have ever seen in medical section, she took care of us like her own family. if you traveling to for medical reason! I am highly recommending this clinic and specifically Zeynep Civelek Caynak.

I had a surgery for septorhinoplasty here by doctor Ayaz Aslan and nurse Sena Unlu. They are very caring and knowledgeable people. Also, the hospital was very clean, and the employees were very caring and well-informed people. Special thanks to our nurse Mehmet.

A medical center with very caring and experienced doctors. I recommend coming 30 minutes later than the appointment time because I wait about 30 minutes every time I come.

I came to Medstar Hospital in Antalya in August 2024 in a very serious physical condition. I had no diagnosis, no knowledge of Turkish, in short, I was helpless. Luckily in the hospital we were lucky to have an interpreter Saida, a person of high organization, competence, and professionalism. We managed with her help to get all the necessary tests done in a week, get consultations with specialists and the diagnosis and treatment was determined within 2 weeks. I am now in the process of treatment at the hospital. I don’t want to imagine how much harder my hard road to recovery would have been if it wasn’t for the help of specialists like our Saida, Dr. Oncologist Prof. Mükremin Yusal, nurses. My husband and I are very grateful to all the staff at the hospital and we are very hopeful for recovery.

I am always uncomfortable with the hospital atmosphere, but at Medstar Antalya I was given a check-up service without waiting in line, all tests and procedures were done in a quality and detailed manner. The staff was friendly and caring. I would recommend Medstar Antalya professionals.

I recently had a hysterectomy surgery at Medstar Antalya Hospital. I would like to thank my doctor Nalan Jihangir and her team for their support, professionalism, attentiveness and friendliness at all stages before, during and after the surgery. If you are looking for a doctor who values your trust and respects your confidentiality, I recommend Nalan Cihangir, a specialist in gynecology and obstetrics at Medstar Antalya Hospital.

Had a rhinoplasty consultation with Dr. Hasan Yilmaz, who was highly qualified and attentive. The staff, especially Ozge Ucjar, accompanied me at all stages with warmth and care. The atmosphere at Medstar Antalya is cozy and the hospital does not resemble the usual medical facilities. This place helped me to cope with my anxiety.

On November 22, I visited the ophthalmology department of Medstar Antalya Hospital. I would like to thank the reception staff, ophthalmologist Zafer, his assistant, as well as my daughter’s favorite doctor, pediatrician Kerem, and nurse Muradiye for their attentive attitude. We were able to spend our time in the hospital with comfort and positive emotions. Thank you to the whole Medstar Antalya team!

Dr. Fatih Gündoğdu is a wonderful specialist. Although I was skeptical of private clinics, Medstar Antalya changed my mind with its fast, solution-oriented and attentive doctors and nurses. My fears before the surgery were completely dispelled. I recommend it to everyone!

I have been undergoing examinations and surgeries at Medstar Antalya Hospital for seven years now. There are professionals working here, from the doctors to the nurses. I recommend to anyone looking for quality medical services in Antalya.

I went to Medstar Antalya to see Prof. Ismail Gömceli, who I consider one of the best surgeons in Turkey. His professionalism and attentiveness inspire confidence. The services of the hospital are at a high level, but the prices announced before the surgery almost doubled after the surgery, which caused inconvenience. I recommend that you check the cost in advance.

I gave birth at Medstar Antalya Hospital on August 17, 2023. From the doctor Murat Bulut to the nursing staff on the sixth floor, everyone was attentive and friendly, helping me cope with the excitement of my first labor. A huge thank you to the whole team for their patience and care!

Dr. Demir is an exceptional pediatrician, always accurate in his diagnoses and extremely attentive. Our family has long trusted Medstar Antalya and appreciate the quality of the hospital’s services. Thank you to the entire staff, especially Dr. Demir, for their professionalism and care!

I would like to thank Dr. Dilek Demirez from Medstar Antalya for his professionalism and the nurses and staff on the fourth floor for their care and attention during the post-operative period. Everything was organized at the highest level!

We express our deepest gratitude to our doctor Emre Gunakan and our midwife Mrs. Ilayda for being by our side during this special and unforgettable journey.

Dr. Emre is not only a very successful specialist in his field, but also a person whose care, compassion, patience and truly fatherly attitude always gave us confidence. He calmly listened to all our questions, eased our worries and did everything possible to make the birth process as comfortable and calm as possible. Thanks to him, we realized how important a doctor’s human approach is along with his knowledge and experience.

Mrs. Ilayda was with us at every stage. Thanks to her smile, care, understanding and support, we never felt alone. In the most anxious moments she gave us strength, paid attention to every detail and made this wonderful experience even more special.

If today we are holding our healthy baby in our arms, it is largely thanks to you. We are very glad that our paths crossed. We were incredibly lucky to meet you. Thank you for your work, love and dedication. ❤️🌸

This is a message of gratitude. On February 19, Professor Semsettin Okuyucu performed surgery on my three-year-old son to insert ear tubes and remove adenoids.

Many thanks to our doctor — he explained the entire process in detail and showed great attention to the child.

I also want to thank the staff of the day observation ward. In those few hours after the operation, nurses Dilek, Simge, Aleyna, Beyza and Mrs. Refika cared for us very attentively, were patient and kind. Thanks to you and your attitude, this period went much more easily for us.

Many thanks to everyone who took part. Medicana International Ankara Hospital is very lucky to have such attentive and professional doctors and nurses 🙂

A hospital where I was made to wait in every department and was not seen on time in any of them 🙂

Right now I am in radiology and have already been waiting for 50 minutes.

My father Omer Ipek was operated on at Medicana hospital by Professor Dr. Ismail Hakki Ozhan, and our experience cannot be put into words — we were incredibly satisfied.

Dr. Ozhan showed the highest professionalism, thoroughness and humane attitude, becoming a true source of healing for my father.

From the preparation for the operation to the postoperative period, he thought through every detail with great attention, explained the whole process clearly and helped us stay calm at every stage. Thanks to this, both my father and our whole family felt completely safe. My father’s words: “I did not expect the operation to go so smoothly” best describe the skill of our doctor.

Dr. Ismail Hakki Ozhan is not only an excellent surgeon, but also a doctor who knows how to listen, understand, support and inspire confidence. The operation was performed brilliantly.

During this important period, he patiently answered all our questions and played a huge role in restoring my father’s health. We are infinitely grateful to him and wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone.

Thank you for your work, doctor. 🙏💐

As someone who came from Canada for a kidney transplant, I can say that I had never been to Turkey before, but I was very impressed by the hospitality of the Turkish people — from the airport all the way to the hospital itself.

When I entered the hospital, I was pleased to meet a medical team completely devoted to their work. All the staff were so professional that I immediately felt confident that my problem would be solved successfully. This was made possible by the availability of the doctors, the ease of communication, and the work of the international patients department led by Mr. Onur and his team.

All the departments we needed were located in one building — from the third basement level to the first floor, which allowed us to complete all pre-operative examinations in less than a week. That is truly impressive.

My donor and I received approval for the transplant. When the time for the operation came, I can confirm that it was carried out professionally and with full dedication. After the operation I felt neither pain nor dizziness, especially compared with my previous treatment experience in my country of residence.

I would like to express special gratitude to our nephrologist Professor Siren Sezer, surgeon Dr. Ulas Sozener, and their teams. After the operation I was placed in the intensive care unit for a day to monitor the function of the new kidney. Thanks to the care of the nurses, especially Mrs. Esra, I felt very well.

After being transferred to a regular ward, I was warmly welcomed and cared for by the nurses on the ninth floor. Thank you, Mrs. Irem, and your entire team.

I am happy to report that as early as the fifth day after the transplant, both my donor and I were healthy enough to be discharged.

For all the good that I saw in this country, and especially at Medicana hospital, I will gladly recommend that my friends with similar problems consider this treatment option.

In the first month of pregnancy, on a friend’s recommendation, I met Dr. Emre Gunakan. Despite my anxiety, which only intensified during pregnancy, thanks to him I spent very comfortable and calm nine months. Every time I started to worry, he helped me calm down — like an older brother or father.

When labor began, his very presence in the operating room and in the corridor gave me a sense of security. The whole operating team was very kind and dedicated. I especially thank the anesthesiologist Mr. Gazi — he greeted me very warmly and helped me get through the cesarean section without extra stress.

On the first night the nurses were attentive, and I am especially grateful to Mrs. Bedriye, who helped with breastfeeding, and to nurse Ayuca.

Now about the hospital’s downsides. After the birth of the child, the first examination by pediatrician Mr. Ali and his nurse turned out to be extremely superficial and indifferent. Later, another pediatrician, Mrs. Banu, while examining my baby, discussed New Year’s Eve plans with a colleague as if we were not even there, and did not even look us in the face. It is precisely because of this experience that I will no longer choose this children’s department.

These are my impressions and observations. And to the whole team of the obstetrics and gynecology department and the floor staff — many thanks and love.

On 29.01.2026 I had a premature birth, and I want to thank with all my heart Dr. Deniz, who was by my side throughout this period and supported me not only as a doctor but also as a person.

From pregnancy to the birth itself, he accompanied me at every stage with patience, understanding and great dedication. He always answered my questions sincerely, eased my worries with his calmness and helped me feel safe. I felt support that was not only medical but also psychological.

At such a special moment in my life, I was incredibly lucky to meet such an attentive, knowledgeable and trustworthy doctor. I sincerely recommend him 🥰

On December 17, 2025, I paid for and underwent an MRI of the knee joint. When the results were ready, I naturally asked for the MRI recording on a disc.

It turned out that you have to pay for this too. For an ordinary disc worth about 5 lira, I was charged 350 lira.

Until then I had always agreed to all the conditions, considering it a private hospital, but such a fee is too much. Even private medical offices these days do not charge for such a service.

Very shameful. In the past, when it came to health, I always chose this hospital. Now I will come here only if I cannot find an appointment elsewhere.

Last week I came to Medicana Ankara hospital for a follow-up examination, and overall my impressions were positive.

The hospital is modern and clean, the waiting areas are comfortable and well organized, and great attention is paid to hygiene. The staff are attentive, help with navigation, and registration is quick. The doctors are professional, explain everything in detail and patiently answer questions.

The only drawback is that during peak hours you have to wait a long time in some departments. The medical equipment is modern and inspires confidence.

Overall, this is a reliable, comfortable and high-quality hospital for both planned and emergency visits.

My review concerns the endocrinology department and Dr. Mina Gulfem Temizturk.

I came for a general preventive examination, but the doctor was very gloomy and tense, so after the appointment you seem to lose all your energy for the whole day.

This is not a doctor with whom you can feel comfortable communicating. I do not plan to consult her again.

Our paths with Bahar Şentürk crossed in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics. And it is good that there are such doctors. He is an incredibly responsive and warm person. He helps with all sincerity. Many, many thanks to him. I also have to thank the nurse Elif Topsoy. Today she helped me with my sugar loading and blood draw procedure. She calmly explained and followed every detail step by step. You know, we new moms get a little anxious:) If you are going on a trip with Medicana Ankara for childbirth, find Dr. Bahar first and trust the nurse Elif. May your labor be a pleasure ❤️

I had a very nice experience with Dr Razek Kazancioglu. He is very knowledgeable and helped me in the internal medicine department.
Special thanks to Saida Abukar (the internal department translator) for help and guidance in the hospital.

Yesterday I underwent a minor surgery in the general surgery department. I am grateful to my doctor OSMAN YUKSEL and also to my nurse SUMMAYA. You took such a wonderful care of me, thank you very much.

We can’t thank our women’s health and obstetrics doctor, Associate Professor Dr. Faika, enough. She always supported us both before and after labor. She is not just a doctor, but more like a member of your family, supportive both psychologically and spiritually. Despite her busyness, she is always on call, with a smile on her face and with inexhaustible positivity – a unique woman, doctor and mom. Alp and I are very happy. We are glad to have you, doctor. Doctors like you should be appreciated in this country. To receive dozens of patients and newborns day and night, paying attention to each with such dedication and labor – it is very difficult. Your labor is impossible to appreciate. A huge thank you to Medicana and to you.
Also endless gratitude to the breastfeeding nurse and educator Filiz Hanim. The first moment after giving birth is so important. Were you able to breastfeed? Or will you be able to manage your milk properly to help your baby? She supported us psychologically and was always there for us, keeping us from thinking about such questions. My son is now 8 months old and we are still getting useful information from her and that makes us very happy.

On January 6, my wife underwent a cesarean section surgery. We went to Dr. Emre Günakan, Associate Professor, on recommendation and we were very satisfied throughout the whole process, from start to finish. Thank you to the anesthesiologist Dr. Gaza Akkurt and the entire operating room team for their care and attention. My wife was pain free and quite comfortable until discharge. The nurses and all the staff on the ward were also very helpful.

I had a bone marrow transplant in the bone marrow department, everything went well. I would like to thank Ekin Kurchali. I would like to thank the nurses of the department Merve Ezbek, Onur Atak, Hatice Yarar, Ishinsu Shark. They were very helpful, very diligent and very skilled in their work.

My third child was born, and all three were born in private hospitals. Medicana was considered the best among them, and we paid a high price. But it was here that for the first time I paid for the baby’s first check-ups — the jaundice test and so on, whereas in the other two hospitals all the checks within the first week were free. An indifferent, absurd atmosphere, staff with stony faces. In the maternity ward almost no one came to me — neither for the baby nor for me. No friendliness, no attention, no willingness to help… I did not like it at all.

Today I had an angiography with my doctor Murat Can Guney, and I want to thank him once again for his attention and care.

I especially want to thank nurse Mehtap Corlu — she cared for me as if I were her own child. I send her five stars for her attitude.

I also thank the other nurses and the staff member who accompanied me around the department. Although I do not know their names, you were all very attentive, considerate and polite people.

Thank you to the coronary intensive care unit!

In the waiting area of the obstetrics and gynecology department, fathers sit while pregnant women stand.

In my opinion, men should not be in the women’s clinic area. If they want to see the child, they can be invited inside one at a time, and the rest of the time they should wait outside.

Hello, we came from out of town to see a thoracic surgery doctor, Dr. Rekha. I can’t say anything bad about the doctor, he is a true professional, it’s good that our paths crossed with him. We stayed on the 10th floor, the nurses Gulnaz hanm, Esra hanm, Aybyuke hanm, Simge – all very attentive. Nurse Meral – I was very satisfied with your help, thank you very much!

Had an operation at the orthopedics department and stayed for a day. The close attention of the medical staff (especially Ms. Ece, my nurse) and the competence level of my doctor, Prof Dr. Şadan Ay were amazing. I don’t recommend anybody to get sick but if you are sick this hospital is the right chouce to receive the best treatment.

The hospital is very crowded. In the children’s department there is chaos and crowds of people every time. A routine appointment and blood test take hours.

Last week, in an emergency situation, the doctor prescribed an IV for my son, but there were no places in the emergency department, so we were admitted as inpatients. For an hour-long stay in the ward, the money was charged to the insurance company.

My dad was suffering from tumor in between his eyes. He was operated on by Op. Dr. Hakan Yakupoğlu. My dad woke up a few hours after the oppression and he wasn’t in too much pain. And he even started walking the next day. We thank Allah for leading us to a nice hospital and a great doctor. Totally recommend.

I’m a patient after kidney transplantation, so it’s extremely important to me to keep a certain level of medicine concentration in the blood because I can loose the kidney. I came to Medicana to pass the specific blood tests and I needed the results to be ready the same day. The guy on the reception promised they would send the results to my email the same day but after they actually took the blood it appeared that the most important test would be ready only tomorrow! This is totally unacceptable!!

On 27.07.2021 I had hernia surgery. We were very satisfied with our doctor Hakan Emmez, as well as with the 7th floor nurses Onur Ates and Mrs. Zeynep.

The only complaint is that the paperwork and procedures at the hospital take too long. But overall I am satisfied with the result.

The hospital is modern, but managed, in my opinion, with a provincial mindset and a clear emphasis on making a profit. If it were not for a few very valuable surgeons and experienced doctors, we would not have chosen it.

During the pandemic, safety measures were reduced to posters and hand-sanitizer stations: temperature was not measured at the entrance, the HES code was not requested. The elevators were overcrowded, including with staff. Relatives were allowed into intensive care only in masks, without protective clothing or shoe covers.

An elderly patient after a serious operation was given food that was hard to digest — beans with rice. The approach to the emergency room is inconvenient, and cars get in the way of ambulances.

I hope we will not have to deal with this hospital again.

Although I arrived at radiology exactly on time, I had to wait in line for 45 minutes.

The fact that the MRI would be with contrast should have been mentioned at the time of booking, but I was told only just before the procedure. I was simply given a prescription and sent to the pharmacy to buy the drug.

A very strange organization.

My father was in the hospital for three days after the operation.

The nursing care could have been better. It is wrong when the main part of monitoring the patient is effectively shifted onto the accompanying relative.

The hospital is overcrowded and now differs little from a public one. The only difference is how much money you have to pay out of your own pocket.

There is practically no parking — you have to circle around the hospital for a long time looking for a spot.

The hospital has good and qualified doctors, but the radiology department is a real nightmare.

The staff work very inefficiently, which greatly affects the quality of service. Even for a simple MRI you have to wait for hours. Radiology always has the longest queue in the hospital.

The doctors, nurses and medical staff here are excellent, but the administrative staff, unfortunately, let it down. In terms of hygiene everything is well organized — there are sanitizers on every floor.

On February 15 I had surgery to remove my gallbladder. Now I feel well and want to thank Professor Dr. Onder Surgit, who operated on me.

I also thank all the 4th floor staff for their work and care.

My wife had an angiography. While I waited for the results outside, no one seemed to understand the state the patient’s relatives were in.

I went after the doctor and asked how it went. He briefly replied that everything was fine and the nurse would explain everything. When I found the nurse, she said I would have to wait another six hours.

In the end I was terribly exhausted and remained very dissatisfied.

The cardiologists here are good. But there seems to be not enough staff, and the waiting time is too long.

My wife underwent surgery for a brain tumor. Many thanks to Professor Dr. Gokhan Kurt and his assistant for their attention, care and kind attitude.

May the Almighty not deprive us of such people. It is good that you exist.

On the recommendation of an acquaintance, after the age of 48, I went for an examination for the first time on 17.01.2026 to the cardiology department to see associate professor Alper Kanbay. I had back pain. Exceptionally attentive, explaining point by point and several times over…

Overall I am satisfied. The doctors, the staff, the hygiene — everything is fine. Only during the last blood draw there was a single staff member, and it was a bit hard for the nurse — fairly so. Attention needs to be paid to staffing levels. For more efficient work.

In the 6th month of our search for a doctor for our son, we were finally able to say “found.” In various hospitals, in the field of pediatrics, we had negative experiences with many doctors, but here, after an appointment with the specialist doctor Büşra Süzen Çelbek on the 10th floor, my spouse and I said — that’s it, we have found our doctor. Dear professor, may your energy never run out, health to you and to our children, thank you.

At Liv Hospital, in the surgical department, the assistant Emel pleased me greatly with her attentiveness and smile, thank you very much.

My daughter was examined by Dr. Büşra Süzen Çelbek from the pediatrics department. Our doctor’s approach and attention were very good. With the wish that we go through the period leading my daughter to adulthood together.

Also, among the pediatric department staff, Tuğba Telli was very helpful with scheduling this appointment and with the overall organization — with patience, a smile, and a sincere willingness to help. Many thanks to her as well.

My doctor Hashim Bakırçay and my physiotherapist Emine Şener provided invaluable support throughout my physical therapy. I especially want to thank instructor Emine: she was always smiling, very attentive and caring during the manual therapy and physical therapy. Her efforts were incredible. I sincerely thank you, instructor Emine, with respect ❤️🙏🏻
