Booking Surgery
Kayleigh reviewed Excellent experience

I cannot fault a single thing about my whole experience with Booking Surgery. From initially reaching out and discussing everything with my co-ordinator, to actually booking my surgery, getting all the pre-op info, all the way to the hospital stay and the surgery itself it was fab the whole way through. The hospital was lovely and clean (felt more like a high class hotel than a hospital), every staff member so helpful and friendly, and my surgeon Dr Katar was out of this world. On the return myself and my companion were helped through check in at Istanbul airport by our lovely driver. My surgery was August 27th, so I’ve now been home for a week in which time I’ve had a follow up with the dietician and a check in with my co-ordinator. If you’re considering gastric surgery abroad I’d urge you to check out Booking Surgery. The entire visit is hospital-based so you’re in the best care, everything is made as comfortable as possible, and all post-op meds are provided to bring home. I honestly can’t think of a single negative thing to say and I’m genuinely grateful for such a wonderful experience.

Archie Cass reviewed Surgery/coordinator

I can not recommend Bruce my coordinator, he was so helpful from start to finish. He answered all my questions before and after my surgery. My surgeon Dr.Katar was lovely and did a BRILLIANT job, my scars are so neat. I feel great and truly believe it’s because been given such a high quality of care.

Zoe Patterson reviewed Brilliant Team

From start to finish, my experience with Booking Surgery has been fantastic. From the minute you land to the time you are put back on the plane, you are in the best hands. The team of people around you make you feel welcome and relaxed. The hospital is modern and very clean. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made.
