I recently had a total knee replacement at Turan & Turan medical Centre in Bursa, Turkey. From my first contact with them my treatment has been completely professional. Doga Gok, the person dealing with my initial query was very efficient, nothing was too much trouble for her, she even helped with organising transport and booking flights and was there to meet me personally when I arrived at the hospital. She is an excellent ambassador for Turan & Turan.
The Hospital is clean and modern, with plenty of staff to attend to patients needs. Pre surgery tests and x-rays were carried out and my replacement knee operation took place the day after I arrived. I stayed in the hospital for seven nights followed by seven nights in the Holiday Inn hotel next door to the hospital, close enough to make any additional tests easy. The surgeon checked on me frequently to make sure that there were no problems following the procedure.
I’ll end by saying thank you too Doga, my surgeon and the other hospital staff for the care and attention I’ve received and I have no hesitation in recommending the Turan & Turan medical centre.
