"I used the placid way app and am so happy I did. It’s legit and eases the mind. I found the best, most talented ,compassionate surgeon in Dr Sibel Atalay in Antalya Turkey. I live in Ontario Canada and am 53 years old…. On Sept 07/26 I flew to Antalya Turkey to have the most wonderful and competent Dr Sibel Atalay perform several procedures. Dr Sibel and her team were readily available at every step and made me feel very confident in putting my health and welfare in their hands. Her coordinator Melissa is a gem She’s compassionate , competent and a really good listener. I threw so many questions at her I’m surprised she didn’t block me. Lol. Dont be afraid to ask It’s your health and well being. My questions ranged from over the counter medications , prescription meds, natural supplements, bedding, clothing , pain killers etc. I wanted to make sure I put myself in the best and most healthy condition I could. The drs can do surgery but if you don’t take care of urself it doesn’t matter how good they are. So accountability of oneself is a must and a huge part of the process and results. . I pride myself on being very honest and there is nothing negative I can say about this entire process. The language barrier was the most difficult But very manageable. I really did my research and spoke with over 8 different surgeons both in Turkey and Canada prior to choosing Dr Sibel. It was important for me to have a female surgeon and honestly I am so lucky to have come upon Dr Sibel. She is a true ambassador for women and is such a professional and talented surgeon. I had several procedures done at once. FDL tummy tuck, 360 lypo, breast lift and reduction, arm lypo and lift. At first I wasn’t sure about the fdl but she recommended it and I am so happy to have followed her recommendation. I would not have gotten the results I wanted had I opted for a reg tummy tuck. Dr Sibel also informed me right off the hop that there was some fairly obvious size differences between my left and right sides, and that she would do her absolute best to even them out. I think she nailed it!!!!!!! I chose the luxury package with hotel , pre op ,surgery, post op , garments etc and transportation to and from all appointments and airports. Flight was separate. In my case I needed a blood transfusion There was an additional fee which I knew ahead of time would be if needed. No hidden fees. And if ur worried about any. Just ask. I am 11 days post op and heading back to Canada a different women. The transformation of my body and healing is remarkable. I did not experience a ton of pain , I’d say it was high discomfort and tightness. As well as fear. I was so worried about busting a stitch and have everything rip open that I was being overly cautious. Dr Sibel put my mind at ease and explained that there were several layers of stitches. Not just the ones I could see. ( makes sense lol) I am thinking I might like a leg lift in the future and regardless of where I live I will travel wherever I have to to have Dr Sibel Atalay work on my body. Trust the process. Day 10 post op is truely a magical day. It’s the day you feel like urself , the days leading up were rocky with my emotions on a wild roller coaster. But all this is normal. I would recommend staying atleast a full ten days after surgery if flying a fair distance and having multiple areas worked on. Canada is a 10 hr flight with one 2 hr layover and I will be 11 days post surgery when I travel. My energy is good however I am definitely rebuilding my stamina. I will be using the wheelchair assistant program the airport offers. I’ve done the research and experienced the process and am living the outcome. Dr Sibel Atalay should be everyone’s choice!❤️"

"I will admit, at first I had some concerns about going to another country for dental work, such as: Will they be there with transportation like they said they would be? Was the office really as nice as the pictures show, or was I walking into a dump and going to be sitting there for hours before they even get started?
My first conversation with the clinic was with a young man named Andre. He spoke English fluently, which was a huge relief — that was one of my major concerns when booking the trip. The fact is that everyone at the clinic spoke English very well. So, Andre was a very nice and polite young man with whom I did all of the communicating and scheduling, except for one call when I talked to someone else and had to inform them that I had to cut my stay there from one week down to three days. Even after that, he emailed me to inform me that it would not be enough time to have my crowns made, which I was already aware of — but it was reassuring to know that there was good communication within their office.
So, I flew in on Sunday, and on Monday morning, Andre called me up an hour before my appointment and said he would pick me up and take me to the clinic, which he did.
Got there at 10:30 in the morning and was amazed at how modern and up-to-date everything was. There was nobody but myself there, and there was no waiting at all. I was introduced to Dr. Miller and his staff — all very friendly and pleasant to talk to. I proceeded to have my tooth extracted and bone buildup done, and also had a screw inserted for an abutment on a different tooth that was already out. After, Andre drove me to the pharmacy and went in with me to get my prescriptions, then dropped me off at the motel.
In all, it was a very pleasant trip. I felt right at home and very comfortable. Dr. Miller did a wonderful job — so far (still need to go back one more time for crowns).
So, if you're at all nervous about going to Mexico for dental work, relax — give this place a call. I highly recommend them and am sure you will be as pleased as I am. And as for the cost — well, I was able to pay for the airfare to Mexico not once, but twice, spend a few days there, have my dental work done, and still end up saving around three thousand dollars."

"From the beginning to the end, it was seamless. You have to understand I spent years researching trying to find the perfect daughter for my needs. I was introduced to Placid Way that introduced me to many many doctors, but I ended up finding Dr. Victor Samano and couldn’t be happier. Aileen his associate was such a pleasure and very responsive to all my questions and I had a lot of them. They did a double blepharoplasty on my ice and a roll face and neck left. Always done within three hours. I spent one night in the hospital then was released to go back. To my hotel where I could start to heal. The hospital was super clean and the nurses were on top of everything after getting back to the hotel day one through three or very painful and didn’t even recognize myself and actually the pain wasn’t that bad. It was more being uncomfortable with the headdress on. As time went on I see that five and six were my turnaround days and holy can I ever notice a big difference from the beginning to the ending Cancun, Dr. Samano we’re in touch on a daily basis to see how I was doing. I’ve even been back five days and they still both check in to make sure I’m OK I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. That’s a five star Dr. Samano with his professionalism was also a five star and Aikeen being very punctual with Messages and giving me all the information I needed to go forward was a definite five star as well. I can’t say much more, but I give this whole experience a time it wasn’t easy at the time of going in I had a lot of anxiety, but Dr. Samano and his team took very good care of me. I’m looking in the future to have some other things done with his clinic. So if you’re looking for a great doctor with great credentials, great bedside manner, professional clean speaks English. He’s your guy.
If I knew how to submit pictures, I definitely would’ve done that.
