Recent Patient Experiences

A patient from the UK – Review dated February 19, 2026:

From the very first contact, our patient felt safe and reassured. The meticulous planning and detailed explanations before arriving in Istanbul confirmed that she had made the right decision.

She highlighted the comfort of the hospital, the thorough pre-operative assessments, and the attentive care provided by the team. The surgery went smoothly, and the aftercare and continuous communication were described as invaluable.

Two years after surgery, she lost approximately 89 kg, stopped taking 28 daily medications, and no longer suffers from diabetes, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

“I got my life back,” she says, describing not only a physical transformation but also an emotional rebirth.

A patient who travelled in June 2024 for gastric sleeve surgery:

From the initial planning in the UK to her arrival in Istanbul, every detail was carefully organized. Being welcomed by the team late at night, receiving detailed explanations before surgery, and experiencing professional post-operative care made her feel truly valued.

She describes the experience as seamless and reassuring. “My life has completely changed,” she emphasizes, adding that she felt in safe hands from beginning to end.

A patient who travelled alone for surgery:

Travelling alone for major surgery naturally caused some anxiety. However, from the very first moment, the team’s care replaced her worries with confidence.

Airport transfers, a modern and comfortable hospital stay, comprehensive pre-operative tests, and being able to walk the day after surgery clearly demonstrated the expertise of the surgeon and his team.

The structured aftercare, detailed dietary guidance, hotel stay, and even the quick return of a forgotten phone highlighted the team’s dedication. Her only wish was that she had arrived a few days earlier to explore Istanbul more.
