The nurses were very friendly, caring and dedicatedAlex, US, 01 01 22Hello this is Alex from USA. On 10th of August I sent my first message to Mayclinik. By the end of the day my surgery had been scheduled for November. Busra has not left my side since the beginning of my process and has been nothing but warm, welcoming and transparent. She is very well informed as to how things work within the company when it comes to medical terms as well as administrative aspects. She is on top of things and makes sure everything is well arranged. What a lovely woman!
My driver, Neco is a very punctual man who is always in for a chat, even after a long day of work. His English is not fluent, but that does not stop him from wanting to improve and just being a very characteristic guy overall. He was always on time, as well as for my drive back to the airport, which was very important to me.
During my whole stay, I was being guided by Busra. On the day of my surgery, she awaited me in the hotel lobby and escorted me to the hospital. She took care of all things administrative and made me feel at ease by taking a genuine interest in my day to day life and convincing me not to worry about my surgery. I already trusted Dr Yusuf, but after my chat with Busra, even more. She has been contacting me every single day since my surgery and really is so good at what she does. She has a natural ability to make people feel at ease and has definitely made my stay in Istanbul more pleasant.
So, something you should know about me is that I am very squeamish when it comes to needles, blood, hospitals, operations, etc... so undergoing Rhinoplasty has definitely been a big deal for me. What I would like everyone considering surgery to know, especially young women, like myself, is that going under the knife is SERIOUS and takes PREPARATION. No matter what you are going to get done, make sure you quit smoking and drinking at least four weeks in advance so that you are healthy, ready and in optima forma. If I can do it, you can do it.
The nurses were very friendly, caring and dedicated. During my stay, my private nurse came to check on me every hour or so during the night and made me feel so well taken care of. I was by myself, so it was nice to have a friendly face around.
Please, do not underestimate surgery and recovery! It has really been a ride. Make sure you take lots of books, magazines, notebooks etc with you to pass the time as it will be very boring to just stay in your hotel room and not being able to do anything.
The first few days, eating will be very uncomfortable and you won't be able to taste anything (I lost a significant amount of weight which is not desirable in my situation). Luckily, the WIFI in the hotel works very well and the staff is very friendly. You can just order things from the menu through the phone and they will come and bring it to you. Breakfast is a complimentary buffet and, super delicious, rooms are clean and have great AC and there is flatscreen tv with channels from all over the world.
As for my results... I could not be happier. I am well aware of the fact that my nose is still swollen and it will only get better from here. Dr YUSUF is a true artist.
And on elf the best part is that you have Mayclinik nurses at the hotel and they come and check you daily to change your bandages, do dressing and follow your medications. Also, they know English. THANK YOU MAYCLINIK!
