Allurion Swallowable Gastric Balloon Besiktas

I had my surgery on the 17/02. Everything was booked via WhatsApp and within 2 weeks of 1st contact. The doctor was very responsive and answered all my questions. When i arrived i had to wait 15mins for the car and the car took me to my hotel which was 30mins away. The hotel was nice and clean.a few hours later there was someone to pick me up and we walked to the hospital which was only a few yards away. The whole process was easy and i was asleep and woke up after it was done. I waited an hour for my IV then after I went back to the hotel. I was only meant to stay for one night but the planes were cancelled due to the storm so couldn't fly back to England. I texted the coordinator and she sorted the hotel for an extra night. The next morning my transport came to pick me up and I was taken to the airport. All in all, it was a good experience and I can't recommend Merv and Dr Onur enough. I am on 10 days now and I have lost 5kgs.

It is understandable that Turkey has a bad press here for plastic surgeries that are because there are many other clinics around that cannot perform a decent job or provides poor service. But let me tell you that put your judges aside!! And give it a try!! Honestly, I have never felt this safe and served like this ever before! If you be nice to them they become nicer and nicer. Smooth recovery thanks to team.

My Coordinator was Cleo Tayfun. From my first contact, she was able to build a foundation of trust. I asked questions freely. Detailed answers were provided. I had a video consultation with Dr Hakan Demirel. Apart from my personal research and gut feeling about the procedure, clinic and Doctor, Cleo was able to make me feel comfortable with my decision to go with Dr Hakan Demirel and I did not feel any pressure at all. My offer came with personalised details about the procedure and package plan in Turkey. Although I felt a bit of time pressure to secure the price offered to me, this was also handled very well when I discussed it. I had my Surgery August 2023 and Cleo was able to secure my chosen date. I expressed concern about the timelines (drain removal, massage) and she was able to provide solutions that eased my concerns. In Turkey, I was picked up by the assigned Taxi company on arrival. My Personal Assistant (Omer) helped with pre-op processes at the hospital and accompanied me to the Hotel. All the staff at the hospital were professional. Omer helped translate all conversations. I had a consultation with my Anaesthesiologist, and she seemed very competent and experienced. I was able to ask her questions about the medication to be used, my concerns, and she explained everything to me. Patient health was prioritized as she told me to inform her if I experienced any cold symptoms before my appointment. Going into Surgery and Post-Surgery, I felt even more comfortable because the Nurse assigned to me could speak a little English. They were kind & professional. I would say I was polite and also extended kind remarks to the staff as I believe you should treat people the way you want them to treat you. I asked questions every step of the way about the medications being administered to my IV. All the staff in the operating room were really kind. Hospital facilities 10/10 (Istanbul Onkoloji Hastanesi). When I woke up, Omer was there with me, my Doctor also came in to address me. Due to shift changes, I had a night nurse that was not particularly careful in handling my drains and caused me some pain. There was a man who was a Nursing Assistant, a bit older, who really showed care. He came to check up on me quite frequently to see if I was eating, sleeping well or if I needed anything. He also escorted me when I was leaving the hospital. I was very comfortable with Doctor Hakan and his private nurse, hospital staff and facilities, Omer, hotel and the Clinic Wise Nurse at the Hotel who visited every evening (with bottles of water for me 😊) till I left Turkey. Although most of the nursing staff did not speak English, we were able to communicate well with Google Translate App. I went alone for the surgery and was well cared for. All garments, medications were provided and I did not have to make any purchase. Now 3 months post-op, I am grateful I had a smooth experience. Still waiting to see my final results but most of my swelling already subsided. Based on my personal experience, I would 100% recommend Clinic Wise and Doctor Hakan Demirel. Clinic Wise AfterCare team seems a bit delayed with responses. I also think when you return to your base, its more like the rest is up to you. Your concerns would of course be forwarded to your Doctor but at that point, I think they will only offer advice and you will have to pursue treatment at your GP if any issue arises. Again, I am thankful for a smooth journey and will wait to see the final look of things. Improvement areas Patients should be given another discussion consultation session (maybe 30 mins) with Doctor in-person before surgery to agree on desired result (shape, size etc.). Consultation with Doctor on Surgery Day felt a bit rushed. I had hoped that there will be enough time and room to discuss my concerns with fat transfer in detail and Doctor could patiently advise on the specifics. I felt like I needed to make a quick decision on the spot. Nevertheless, I will make the same choice again.

I had my Gastric Sleeve done one week ago. All started when I contacted Fadi amongst others and found out to be the best ones compared in regards to the quality of response, service and pricing. It was with no regret that I went ahead and booked with Prof. Burak Kavlagoglu. The operation was a total success with minimal pain. Everything was perfect starting from the pre-op meeting in his office to the admission to the hospital where I was greatly cared by the staff. I would like to commend Fadi for her exceptional assistance and support. She replied to all my questions and made a follow-up from start to finish and until now and I feel great!

I had a very good experience with this dentist! They did an amazing job on my teeth and they are all so kind and care so much for their patients. All the doctors that worked with me were really careful and treated me right! I won't lie though the only reason I put 4 stars is because they took too long to work on me. But with the outcome it was worth the wait. The lady that set up my appointment and assisted me was so sweet and did a great job with customer service (her name is Sally). Overall I definitely recommend this place to others who are looking for a change in their appearance but don't know who to go to, you should for sure check this place out!!!
