Booking Surgery
MR CHAPLIN reviewed I used booking surgery end of July 2024…

I used booking surgery end of July 2024 on recommendation for a gastric sleeve I was in contact with David Turker a patient coordinator after a long conversation with him he advised me to go for a sleeve as I had a lot of weight to loose if I didn’t get to my target weight I could have revision surgery from sleeve to bypass if I went straight for bypass and didn’t get to my target weight there would be nothing more they could do for me to get to my target weight he advised me that they offer full hospital stay from when I arrived to when I get discharged the day I fly home a lot of others offer 1st night before surgery hotel then hospital stay for 2 nights then night before you fly home hotel again he then advised me to use dr Ali tardu for my surgery at optimed hospital so I then reached the company hospital and surgeon before booking with them after booking it I had various questions that I kept thinking of every time I messaged him with different questions he answered them for me I arrived in Istanbul airport where I was met with the driver to take me to hospital on arrival I was met by the translator that showed me to my room they advised me to unpack my luggage have a shower then press the call button for the nurses when I was ready for my pre op tests to start then the next morning I was taken for last pre op test before my operation each time I was visited by the nurse they was accompanied by the translator explaining what was happening and when then the morning of surgery I met my surgeon and anaesthetist both accompanied by the translator explaining everything that was happening during and after surgery when I arrived back after surgery the translator was with the nurses explaining that all went well and what post op checks they do until I get discharged from hospital to fly back home My surgeon came to see me each day until I was discharged once I was home I had a video call from dietitian explaining each step going forward what I was and wasn’t allowed and explained if I have any questions don’t hesitate to ask her From start to finish the level of care I received was outstanding I cannot thank you all enough for everything you have done for me.

Sarah Bugeja reviewed Outstanding

Dr. Yalcin and his team are outstanding! I was comfortable and felt I was in excellent care throughout my procedure. Dr. Yalcin is a kind, gentle, and gifted man. His team are so good at what they do!! Post-op felt great!!

Consumer reviewed Multiple surgeries

I have used bookingsurgery.com for the gastric sleeve in 2022, tummy tuck 360 in 2024 and had to return to have my breasts reduced and an uplift due to being anaemic during the tummy tuck operation. In 2022 I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism by the hospital in Istanbul (medicine hospital) and the surgeon refused to do the surgery as the risks were too great. I returned to the UK and got medical treatment from my GP and returned when my levels stabilised. Each time I have visited Istanbul for surgeries I am greeted by friendly staff whether it’s the transfer drivers, nurses, surgeons and the translators. I honestly would not go anywhere else my friends are also beginning their weight loss surgeries using them. I can not praise your company enough and I will forever be grateful for my new body. My coordinator Isabel Walker is also amazing any question I needed she answered quickly thank you

Bea Plunkett reviewed They do excellent job . I would recommend this company to everyone looking for treatment in Istanbul

That was my second trip. I had some plastic surgery , I stayed in a different hospital , I received the same excellent service . My partner will use the same company . Quite satisfied with their services .

Mrs Kathryn ward reviewed My experience of Booking surgery was…fantastic

My experience of Booking surgery was fantastic my experience was really good everything went to the schedule totally professional from start to finish felt well cared for whilst in there care in hospital

Sandra Nogueira reviewed Exceptional group

I want to express my deep gratitude to ERA Clinic in Istanbul and the amazing professionals who work there. A special thank you goes to Dr. Vijdan Aslonoğlu and Surgeon Enes Yol for their outstanding care. I also want to highlight the remarkable Coordinator Sean Aller, whose professionalism shone through as he managed all my bookings and stood by me throughout the process every single day. I must also mention the wonderful Dilele Isik, who always went the extra mile to ensure my comfort and brought me refreshments like water and coffee. Furthermore, I would like to recognize Zaid Al-Ari, a polite and exceptional young gentleman. I wholeheartedly recommend this dental clinic. Each staff member is an incredible professional, exuding friendliness and warmth, which made me feel truly comfortable and welcome. Sandra Nogueira

Danny Fowler-Gill reviewed I would recommend booking surgery for 360fdl

I would recommend booking surgery whole heartedly. My coordinator has been there for me for the whole 11 months of booking my procedure has answered questions quickly and efficiently and as been on hand for anything. I had a 360 FDL with DR. Fatih I would recommend his work especially on a male body! I was at Yassam hospital where Dr. fatih works from the hospital was clean, our room was cleaned multiple times a day and bedding changed there’s is male nurses as well as female nurses to assist with care and nothing was too much of a problem. Theatre skaters are on hand 24 hours a day and are based at the hospital so if there was ever a language barrier it was resolved quickly and effectively. I’m extremely happy with the results I have received. Rossie has been in touch since returning home which is also a nice touch.

Gary Ricks reviewed I booked to have a gastric sleeve and…

I booked to have a gastric sleeve and the whole process from booking all the way through to returning home was amazing. Bookingsurgery.com were really helpful and very clear on what the plan was to make it very easy and not stressful. David Turker was my support and through the whole process he communicated again making it not stressful at all, the staff at the hospital couldn't do enough for you and it was like going to a private hospital in England where they really want to care for you.
