Top 10 Clinics for Alternative Medicine in Istanbul, Turkey

I attended here for Hair Transplants. My liaison contact was Burak Yildirim, international manager for the hospital. He was outstanding and so professional. Everything was arranged perfectly and communication was quick and comprehensive. On day of procedure, I was impressed with the hospital and all staff. I would have no hesitation to recommend Academic Hospital.

Dear Doctor, you can turn yourself in blindfolded.

I am happy by your service

In this hospital where Prof.Dr. Ebubekir Senates (Gastroenterology) works, is the best doctor for me who I can recommend to everyone. After a year of examinations in german hospitals without results I flew to Istanbul Turkey in September 2022 (on recommendation). Prof. Dr. Ebubekir Senates asked me several questions and looked at all my files that I brought with me from Germany and knew instantly what illness I was suffering from. Since than i'am using the medication he prescrepted me and no more pain attacs has been occured. Im so grateful that I went to his hospital, not only he is an expert in these type of illnesses he also takes the time to listen to your story. I can recommend Prof. Dr. Ebubekir Senates and his hospital to each and everyone!

I found my experience with Estetik International very frustrating, and if you would like to do something with them, I would like to warn you about what exactly you can expect from them. I went there to do septoplasty and breast augmentation; they were on the higher price side and looked very nice in the beginning. However: 1. They lied to me multiple times: - I was promised that I would meet my doctor one day before surgery and we would have a chat. “The doctor was busy,” so I met him 30 minutes before surgery the next day. They gave me only two options for breast implants to see, and the doctor decided on the size himself. I also wanted to do neck lipo, but they gave me a chin implant instead (I didn’t have fat there, but since the doctor only saw me on the day, he made the call). If it had been up to me, I would not have gone for the chin implant! - I was told that they work 24/7 and I would have all the required support. On day 5, complications started. As I learned later, I had an infection after surgery that caused internal bleeding. I tried to call my point of contact. When she finally answered, she said, “I will call the clinic and they will send a nurse.” Half an hour later, nothing happened. When we called again, she turned off her phone. The clinic was closed, and no, they don’t work 24/7. So I spent the night in the ER, almost died, and of course, they didn’t take responsibility for what happened. 2. They gave me the wrong-sized bra. I had bleeding scratches on my back after wearing it for 7 days. They gave me the proper one in Ireland, and it also reduced the amount of pain I felt. 3. When I came to have my stitches removed, the doctor didn’t put gloves on! I realized it when I smelled strong tobacco. 4. They didn’t even bother to take a next-of-kin contact! Although I left my husband’s phone number with my point of contact, when I got out of surgery, I texted him myself that he could come and see me. 5. I constantly felt under-informed. I think if I hadn’t asked questions, I wouldn’t have received any instructions. 6. My main language is English, but I have an Eastern European name. The staff was ignorant of that and just talked to me in Russian by default. 7. In the quotation I received, it said they would book a 5-star hotel. Not only was it 4-star, but the room we were booked in was tiny. The food in the hotel: one dish we ordered was undercooked, and my salad had rotten iceberg leaves. Cleanliness level: they never washed or vacuumed the floor in our room. The bed sheets had holes in them, and clean towels came with someone else’s hair still stuck on them. One time, a new “clean” bed sheet came with blood stains, and we called room service to replace it again. The gym didn’t have air conditioning, and the treadmill was broken. They sent me a form to contact the Patient Rights Department. Guess what—the form doesn’t work, and the “English” version is not fully translated either.

Face lift. Excellent company. I would 100% recommend. Helpful staff from beginning to the end, I was treated so well. I'm so amazed with the results after the surgery. Begum organised everything for me. The surgeon Dr. Koray does amazing work. The interpreter was so helpful. Stayed with me the whole time I stayed at the hospital. First class service. As for the cost I was so surprised, I stayed in a 5-star hotel. The surgery was done in a modern hospital. I can't thank them enough. Thank you again.
