Amazing experience of converting from a band to a sleeve. Professional and friendly service throughout my stay in Istanbul. Surgeon Ali Tardur was brilliant as were the nurses, interpreters and cleaners. Well done!

Gary Rae reviewed Should have done this last year

From start to finish with BOOKING SURGERY the experience has been one I will never forget. From the coordinator David Turker to the transfer driver and staff at the hospital I cannot find fault with them at all. My surgeon Kagan Katar was so professional it is unbelievable these guys go so far out their way to make you feel comfortable and at home with in these amazing facilities Yasam Hospital in Istanbul. I spoke myself out it last year but made myself come this year and I am totally amazed by the overwhelming hospitality I have received and the care team are the most important team going. They look after you before and once you come out your surgery which I may add is only about 2 hours. So anyone thinking seriously about this I would recommend these guys 150% can ask for any more from them made me feel so so welcome.

Emma Taylor reviewed 5* Gastric Sleeve

Travelled to Istanbul, Turkey, for Gastric Sleeve surgery with Bookingsurgery.com. Their service from start at initial booking right the way through to discharge has been second to none. The hospital is clean, the staff are amazing and supportive. I highly recommend this company if considering surgery abroad xx

Debbie Fitzpatrick reviewed Booking Surgery experience

Good company to deal with I was given my own coordinator Rossie who dealt with all my questions quickly and efficiently, thank you, Rossie. From initial booking of surgery to return home everything ran smoothly. The hospital was nice and staff were friendly a big shout out to Mary one of the kindest compassionate nurses i have ever met you are a credit to your profession. There are interpretors on call 24/7 who are always willing to help. My one criticism us the hospital food which is aweful but sure this is out of tge companies control. However the interpretors Naz, Morgan, Lily, Nadia always willing to help and happy to go to the mall next door to pick up food for you if desired thank you guys, plus the little kitchen provided tea, coffee, protein shakes etc so you could rustle up tea and toast if needed. My surgeon was Dr Soner and he is the most wonderful humble person he certainly is incredably talented. I would use this company again and would recommend to friends and family.
