Booking Surgery
Miss Katie Ford reviewed OUTSTANDING, AMAZING.

All I can say about bookingsurgery.com is WOW WOW WOW. From the very start to the end my experience has been seamless. I had the typical Mum body, sagging breasts from breastfeeding and hanging belly. I was so miserable and insecure. I knew I wanted this done and knew I had to travel alone from the UK which worried me and every single 'what if' entered my head. I found bookingsurgery.com off Google and my journey with them from booking to flying home was seamless. I under took a breast lift, implants, tummy tuck and lipo suction 'The Mummy Makeover ' Everyone were so professional and caring and they all went above and beyond for me. My coordinator was Rossie, who was amazing. Such a lovely, friendly and caring person. She came to meet me on my arrival and came to say goodbye at the end - she was only ever a whatsapp away. Rossie even said to contacy her about any concerns at home or for further aftercare. My Consultant was Dr Omer and he knew exactly what my desired outcome was, I left everything in his hands and he was spot on, he is truly a magician. Dr Omer personally came to see me himself always with a smile even to change dressings etc which instantly put my mind at ease. Honestly, every single thing and person during my experience have been outstanding and I will only return home a better person for myself and my family! I am a changed woman. From the bottom of my heart, thankyou thankyou thankyou!

Carly reviewed Second time using this company for my…

Second time using this company for my Gastric Sleeve in Turkey, 5* care from the moment the driver picked me up and dropped me back off again. Hospital staff 10/10. Would definitely use again

customer reviewed The best service ever - miles better than the UK!

So my partner and I went for some treatments last week. David Turker is our coordinator. I was staying at Optimed and had Dr Ahmet for an arm lift. I also had one tooth implant at the dental clinic in the city. My partner has a hair transplant and consultation for new teeth. The hospital was immaculately clean and the nurses lovely and so helpful even though they mostly didn’t speak English. There was a translator there in situ 24/7. Nothing was too much trouble for the translators. We decided instead of staying in a hotel my partner would stay in the hospital with me. This meant some running about the city for the translators but they took it in their stride. I’ve had 8 operations in my 65 years in the UK with the NHS and this hospital and nurses were 4 times better in every way. They treated you with respect unlike here where they often treat you like a child! The dental clinic was out of this world in terms of cleanliness and the modern latest equipment plus the female surgeon who did my implant spoke English but the translator was there anyway. She was quick and effective and I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing. Compare this to me having 2 implants with a dental surgeon in Scotland. I paid £12,000 for 2. In Istanbul I paid £435 plus my service was second to none and no messing about. My partner had to have extra ozone treatment as he couldn’t stop smoking so it was affecting the blood circulation on his head. They gave him 3 treatments plus on the last night transferred us to the Lionel, a 5 star hotel nearer his clinic to facilitate his treatment before we went to the airport. We paid no extra for all of this. BookingSurgery. One of our translators came with us right up to the security part in the airport carrying our luggage. I felt that each step of the way I was in good hands. I run two businesses and have a governmental job which means I’m used to being in charge. Here I gave over complete control to others because I had complete trust in them. It was great to know they could instruct me and everything would be perfect. We gave our 8 translators $200 tip to share as I don’t think they get paid a lot but they were so lovely. We will both be returning for teeth work and I’ll probably have a face and neck lift with Dr Ahmet. I think the only reason the UK media spread negative reports of bad experiences in Turkey is because they shame the UK in terms of pricing and professionalism. So here it’s £6,000 per tooth implant and there it’s £435! They’re making a profit at that so imagine how we’re being ripped off in the UK paying thousands because we have no choice. The NHS won’t give us implants even though we’ve paid into the system since the age of 16. PS I didn’t have weighr loss surgery but lost the weight myself over several years. So just needed Booking Surgery to sort out saggy arms. So you can still have plastic surgery without having to lose stones and stones. So absolutely well done Booking Surgery. You’re fabulous.

Lee Calder reviewed Booking Surgery has changed my life.

Today my time with Booking surgery came to an end. I cannot put into words how great my experience has been. It has been faultless from Booking the initial surgery which was a Gastric sleeve to leaving today. My surgeon Dr Katar has done an amazing job along with all his colleagues. Rachel the nutritionist gives so much detail into how to make your surgery a success and get the results wanted. I was on floor 5 and everyone of the staff gave 100%. The translators were amazing and got any answers to questions they wasnt sure of. The NHS in the UK could learn alot from coming over here and seeing how it's done. I can't thank them enough and I am looking forward to my fresh start.

Hannah Wilson reviewed ✨ Absolutely amazing ✨

Absolutely amazing! Booking surgery have literally changed my life! 🩷 Communication from the very start with my coordinator ( penny - also amazing btw 🩷 ) right to the very end was A***** I arrived at the airport, made my way to the meeting point and the driver was right there waiting for us bless him, provided water for the journey too! The hospital itself was so clean, so beautiful! All the translators were amazing ( little tip download Google translate incase you need to communicate before the translator can get to you ) I went on my own and I’m pretty sure everyone could tell how anxious I was but everyone and I mean EVERYONE gave me the best care! Not just for my sleeve aftercare but when I was upset or nervous or having a panic episode someone was straight there with me and that meant so much! So to everyone that was there with me the whole way through, ALL the nurses, the housekeeping staff, the surgeons I cannot thankyou enough for being there with me all the way when my life officially started again! My surgery was 25/7/24 and I’m 4 stone lighter! My mental health is so much better for making this decision! So yeah, I Would HIGHLY recommend! Thankyou so so much See you all again soon Xx

Bella Irlandez reviewed I highly recommend booking surgery

I highly recommend booking surgery. From the coordinator. Recommended A to Z. The service that they provided from the day 1 airport pick up safely. A very comfy and beautiful hospital stay. The staff nurses and the house keeping and others staff who gave their good services. Even you don't need a companion cause they are always besides you to what ever you need. You will never feel alone.I really had a good experience with booking surgery. That I really highly recommend it.

Laura S reviewed Highly recommend Booking Surgery

Highly recommend Booking Surgery. From the transfer from the airport and back and everything in-between, couldnt find a fault! In the hospital, everyone from the surgery team, nurses, translators and cleaners are all so friendly regardless of language barrier.
