Very god and experienced surgeon, I recommend him to everyone who needs bariatric surgery

Very god and experienced surgeon, I recommend him to everyone who needs bariatric surgery. Unfortunately I can’t say the same about the hospital . The hospital was a big disappointment. Despite nurse Berna it was a big problem to get competent medical care. The staff do not speak English, that is worsening the situation.Very low level of medical qualifications of the nurses . No help from caregivers. I kindly recommend to the surgeon to choose another hospital for the future.

Dr. Ibrahim Karatas is a very good surgeon

Highly recommend

Very professional and great attention to detail. Only upsetting experience was when I was admitted papers were in Turkish and no one could explain what I was signing. Hesitant I signed because if I didn’t they said I couldn’t get treatment. I also was not allowed any copies of these but could take a picture of them. That needs to change. Highly recommend.

The professionalism of all staff and my Dr was truly gifted in his field

The last Nurse I had didn’t seem as compassionate as the others and I was in a great deal of discomfort.

About Bookimed service

Everyone explained everything to a level of complete understanding. The communications were always kept open and no second guessing what would be happening. It was a great experience.
