Good experience at Erdem Hospital Dentist, where I have had 4 implants fitted. The translator Kaan was very helpful and supportive and made sure I felt comfortable as a patient and guest. You can trust you are in good hands with them. The transfers were always quick and on time. Transfers from the hotel to airport are also great.Thank you to Kaan, omar and dentists.

I researched almost every surgeon until I had obesity surgery. I finally ran into Adam. The hospital was very good and clean. I had a hard time eating because you don't eat anything after obesity surgery. You're just taking fluids. That was really hard. Anyway, it's over. I highly recommend this hospital to you.

I had a tummy tuck performed in the erdem Hospital 3 weeks ago. The care and service I received was excellent, from being picked up at the airport and taken to the hospital, to the amazing nursing staff and the expertise of the surgeons. I was very well looked after and taken from the hospital to the airport. My procedure was successful with no complications.

“I had an excellent experience at the ERDEM hospital for my hair restoration surgery. The results are simply incredible, I really didn’t imagine it would come out so good and it is far beyond what my expectations were. Special mention to main doctor who is an absolute artist when it comes to hair restoration, along with his whole team. Also really great communication who guided me through everything pre-surgery. The surgery itself was relatively painless, with the team putting you fully at ease.They are always available for any questions or concerns…. Would definitely recommended..!!

The surgery went well, staffs were very attentive . I could not have asked for a better experience. I recommend Dr Ali for any obesity surgery. Many Thanks again.

I have been a patient with Erdem on serval occasions, my experience was so positive that a number of my close friends have also had procedures at the hospital as a result of my recommendations. Currently considering coming back for further surgery. I have been dealing with Kaan in the patient services department over the last few weeks getting some paperwork and the assist i have received has been fantastic. Overall from booking to the post surgery assistance has been excellent

I received health care far beyond my expectations. If you want liposuction, you should definitely come to Erdem Hospital. It's been four months since my surgery. They're still in touch with me. Everyone who's very interested and friendly. Thank you very much.

After more than a year, there are still only positive things to report. No problems, let alone pain.I am still very satisfied today.The process back in November 2023 was very exemplary and uncomplicated. The staff on site were always friendly and very professional.I am also pleasantly surprised that after more than a year there is a query from you today. This gives me the feeling once again that I made the right decision back then.I have already recommended the Erdem Clinic to another person from my circle of friends. This person has also been treated by you. And just yesterday, another friend asked me about my new teeth and I was also able to recommend the Erdem Clinic to him with a clear conscience.I would consider visiting you again at any time if necessary.Many thanks for everything

In an initial phase of data collection they were very quick and precise to answer my questions. The trip was well organized between hotels and travel.On the day of the surgery there were unforeseen events due to the anesthesia, but the doctors intervened quickly and accurately. In the first post-operative phase, the answers to my questions were not very quick due to the period between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, but after this period of holidays they were always very fast and precise in their answers. I hope to see great results in the next hair so I can make another review more detailed and complete

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional medical service I received under the care of Dr. Ali and his team. From the moment I entered the facility, I was met with professionalism, kindness, and unwavering support.Dr. Ali's expertise and compassionate approach were truly remarkable. He took the time to thoroughly explain my condition and treatment options, ensuring I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. His dedication to patient care is evident, and I am incredibly grateful for his attention to detail and commitment to my well-being.The medical staff also deserves high praise for their efficiency, friendliness, and willingness to assist. They ensured my experience was as smooth and stress-free as possible, demonstrating excellent teamwork and a genuine passion for their roles.Additionally, the translators played a crucial role in facilitating clear and effective communication. Their language skills and patience made a significant difference in my ability to understand my medical situation and feel at ease throughout the process.Overall, my experience with Dr. Ali, the medical staff, and the translators exceeded my expectations. Their combined efforts made a challenging time much more manageable, and I am deeply grateful for their exceptional service.Thank you for providing such outstanding care.

Excellent!!Excellent!!From start to finish we were taking good care of and were in very good hands. My wife and I had a gastric balloon (Allurion), placed by Dr. Nadir Adnan,who really is a pro in these kind of treatment. Assistant Johan and translator Mohamed were very helpful in explaining and translating everything from the beginning till the end. From the day I started messaging with Johan, we got a good feeling from them. No question was too much and every bit of concern or doubts was taking away. The 5 🌟 service that came with the treatment was unique. Transport from airport, hotel,clinic and back went smoothly. Even the next day after the insertion, when we felt sick and nauseous 🤢, one single message to Johan and transport to the hospital was arranged in 10 minutes. The helpful nurses gave us intravenous treatment and after a few hours we felt pretty much better again. Dr. Adnan came by and check upon us to see if everything was good. They even wanted us to stay for the night (without extra costs) to be really sure that we were OK, but we felt that was not necessary, since the nausea and vomiting went away after a while. Very good service and attention from all involved. So we recommend Erdem Clinic 100% for the gastric balloon for sure. Keep up with the good work 👏

I had a gastric sleeve done 4 months ago with Dr Hacim Adnan and honestly he is the best human being. He will talk you through everything and make you comfortable before anything is even done. Very nice and humble person. The pick up and drop off service was okay with respectful personnel and the hospital is very clean and the food is great ( if you are able to eat). The survey went well and I’ve lost weight and feeling okay overal. There is a nutritionist who checks up on my progress monthly and suggests new things to try and she’s just overal helpful. I highly recommend this hospital, if you had any doubts I can promise you everything will be okay! ❤️

Amazing! I have visited Erdem hospital twice now - for Bariatric surgery in 2023 and for my breast surgery very recently - and I have been so happy with the service from start to finish both times. Everyone within the team of Erdem Hospital is fantastic and I would definitely not hesitate to go back again for more treatment in the future. They make the process so smooth, are so welcoming and friendly and really do look after you. The aftercare is 10/10 even once you have left and returned home. After my Bariatric surgery the nutritionist checked in with me every month to see how I was doing for over a year! I am very happy and would highly recommend.

I can't express how amazing this hospital and staff were when I was there in august having a gastric sleeve! It's was 10 out of 10! The staff at the hospital were so amazing and Dr Ali was incredible and made me feel so calm and told me everything I needed to know. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone. I am already seeing the difference and have lost 6 stone already. Even after coming back to the UK they have kept up to date with me. I am over the moon with everything and I can't thank you all enough! Even the nurses were amazing. The hospital was so lovely and absolutely spotless. The staff couldn't do enough for me. Thank you to everyone there you have really changed my life

I had an overall good experience with this hospital for my surgeries. In particular I would like to thank and recommend Dr Kadir Tasasiz for his care and skill with my rhinoplasty procedure. He was able carefully consult me for the goals I requested while being honest about what can be achieved in regards to aesthetics in my condition. I am very very happy with my result and you will too!My translator Shohreh Zarrinkolah was great at communicating between the doctors/nurses and myself for my surgeries and consults with the doctors/hotel. She would ensure that I understood all communication and that I was satisfied with my experience. She was patient with me when I would ask many questions and often repeating myself from the nerves.I did experience some issues with my salesperson who is the first point of contact in relation to communication. Overall I had a very great and satisfying experience.

I had a nose job at Erdem Hospital. My doctor was really interested in me. They worked hard to see if my expectations were met before and after the surgery. I'm very happy with the new shape of my nose. As much as I didn't like the hospital environment, it was nice to be there. Thank you for everything. Love from Chicago!

We have a surgery at the ERDEM hospital and the experience was not accomplish to our satisfaction. First of all, the hospital staff are not prepared for people outside of his country. No one speaks English. Coming to the important topic, we travel to Istanbul with great hope of improvement for Nuria face, neck, eyes lift and finally we are very disappointed and sad about the results. All what we expected to improve, comes back to his original position before the surgery, wrinkles are visible again, a lot of skin wrinkles under jaw are visible again. All people that we are asking, can´t see any difference before and after the surgery and they don´t understand why we trust in this hospital. We ask a local surgery face specialist in Spain, and he told us, that the surgery was not performed well. He told us, that Dr. Furkan only performs a superficial mini facelift to Nuria´s face. We will take a lawyer to report the issue to the Spanish authorities, hospital and doctor. I hope we can get at least justice for something that we pay a high amount of money, difficult recovery time for Nuria without any results. The worst part is, that no one is interested to review the case after communication our disconfirmation, we don´t receive any support after the surgery. This hospital and service are very interested and support you daily before you pay, after the surgery and payment is done, you lost completely the communication to the Dr. and hospital. The only communication that we receive are some pictures examples procrastinating that the results are fine, Nuria have to visit a dermatology specialist and no additional review is needed. Question, why Doctor Furkan advises them to have the surgery with him, if Nuria have a skin/dermatology problem? The experience was very bad with Dr. Furkan´s intervention, and we have to repeat the operation again end of this year. My advice, don´t use the doctor or hospital for any facelift operation, you will suffer in pain and pay for something that are not visible and make you look younger.
