My coordinator, Mariia, was absolutely fantastic
Patient Review: Exceptional Knee Surgery in Istanbul with Professor Gemalmaz After facing a long wait for knee surgery under the NHS in the UK, where I was looking at either a partial or full implant, I decided to explore other options. I consulted Professor Gemalmaz through Bookimed, who reviewed my case and noted that the rest of my knee capsule was in good condition. Instead of a replacement, he proposed a joint preservation strategy to save my knee. On September 17th, at the Memorial Şişli Hospital in Istanbul, he performed a mosaicplasty on my right knee. He took a plug of bone and cartilage from a non-weight-bearing area of my knee and very skillfully used it to repair a 16mm x 14mm x 15mm grade 4 cartilage defect in the patellofemoral joint. The operation was a complete success. I am currently recovering in Istanbul, undergoing a course of intensive physiotherapy, and I am already able to walk with just one crutch. Remarkably, the remaining cartilage in my knee was found to be grade one, which is exceptional for my age. I highly doubt I would have found a surgeon of Professor Gemalmaz’s outstanding caliber in the UK, and the procedure was very affordable. His exceptional surgical skill was matched only by his consideration and kindness; he visited me every single day in the hospital and frequently checked on me at my hotel. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending his services. Any prospective patient would be fortunate indeed to have Professor Gemalmaz as their surgeon. The bookimed co ordinator Mariia was absolutely fantastic. I can't praise her enough. Nothing was too much trouble she was there for every query and extremely helpful at sorting everything out. She was absolutely invaluable. She took the stress out of the whole process.

The doctor is very competent, trustworthy, attentive, positive and charismatic
My father, 76 years old, had a knee replacement - Dr Olcay Guller. The doctor is very competent, trustworthy, attentive, positive and charismatic. This is important because my father was very worried and doubtful, but after the first meeting with the doctor he was completely reassured. All pre-operative investigations were organised quickly. Preparation for the operation and the operation itself - everything went smoothly. The next morning my dad was already walking along the corridor with the help of crutches. Nurses and nurses are attentive and friendly, no remarks. Feeding was also excellent, even a lot. I was placed in a spacious ward with a large window and air conditioning. In the bathroom everything is adapted for immobile patients, spacious barrier-free shower. On the territory of the hotel there are a couple of cafes with a good menu, Starbucks. The internet in the hospital is quite good.
All in all it was a pleasant experience. Would recommend the hospital with a clear conscience if needed
About Bookimed service
I don't know how long I would have searched for a hospital myself if I hadn't written to Bukimed. There was hardly any free time for this, and there were many doubts about the choice. With Bukimed everything unfolded quickly and in a couple of weeks my father was already seen by a doctor.

If a friend asked me about this, I'd tell them the difference is night and day
If a friend asked me about this, I'd tell them the difference is night and day. My knee feels so much better than it did before the surgery, with much less pain. Of course, recovery isn't instant. The biggest challenge for me right now is some morning stiffness, but once I get moving it improves. The clinic staff and surgeon were professional and answered all my questions about the full replacement, which included the kneecap and a Smith & Nephew implant. I can already bend my knee past 90 degrees easily. It was the right decision.
