Reviews about Bookimed: Discover Patients' Insights
The whole experience was good from airport transfers through to translator and staff. While a language barrier existed, the translator was on hand for most issues, and if not, we got by. The hospital was first class and so was the care. I am still in early recovery from the liposuction-only procedure on my chest and sides, and I feel about as expected. The only additional expense was for medication when I left, which I was aware would be the case. There has been little contact since, but they are easy to reach if I need. I felt I knew what to expect during recovery so haven’t needed to make contact.

He was honest about realistic results, examined me thoroughly, and explained the technique—liposuction with gland excision—very clearly
The conversation with my surgeon before the procedure really set the tone. He was honest about realistic results, examined me thoroughly, and explained the technique—liposuction with gland excision—very clearly. I’m still early in my recovery, but I’m feeling better than expected. The support afterward has been solid. The clinic has stayed in touch and gave me a straightforward aftercare guide. The only additional expenses were for recovery medications and compression garments, which was a small and predictable cost. A piece of advice for others: make sure you confirm the most direct route to the airport pick-up location in advance and ask about which airport is most convenient for travel, as it can make a difference.
The care was exceptional. From the moment I opened conversation expressing my interest in the procedure and process, the Bookimedgroup and hospital team walked with me through every step with excellent communication, accommodating all of the travel mishaps, and ensuring that I was comfortable, and took extremely helpful steps l, at their inconvenience, to make me feel well taken care of.
The coordinators, nurses, and doctors were professional, kind, and explained each detail as much as I needed to feel that the procedure would be a smooth, safe, and rewarding. I am extremely pleased with the experience, and have already recommended them to my family member, interested in a different procedure. I would be happy to work with them again, and would not even consider another option. They made things almost too easy. The facility was clean, well staffed, and made the stay as comfortable as could be asked for. Everyone was kind and caring, and really made you feel... safe.
I would tell anyone on the fence, talk to the Bookimed team, even as an exploratory conversation. There was no pressure, they are sensitive to people's needs and unique situations. You will not regret it. It was a great experience, and we'll into recovery, they are reaching out, checking on my progress, making certain I am doing well. They are a very pleasent group to work with, and extremely personable. Thank you all for the great experience 🙏
Well, the hospital food is a general human complaint, and doesnt count. Sometimes the nurses and I had language difficulties l, but in most cases l, there was someone available to come and translate specific details. Otherwise, I have zero complaints. It was the best medical experience I have had, so it is difficult to site an improvement, directly.

My surgeon was excellent
I’ll be honest, this recovery has been more physically demanding and difficult than I anticipated so far. That said, I feel good about my decision. The surgery was liposuction with gland excision on my chest, and my surgeon was excellent. He was honest about realistic results and clearly explained the technique, the compression vest, and the recovery period. The clinic staff stayed in touch afterward, which was helpful. The only unexpected expense was for food, as the partner hotel makes you take the more expensive room service. My main advice: don’t do it alone if possible. Having someone would’ve made a lot of things easier and it won’t cost you more. Also, bring a bag with everything you need and put it on the table; I really struggled getting around at first.
Coordinator (Ege) is very nice and helpful, nice guy. Dr Ergin was also very relaxed, calm and knowledgeable, so you are put at ease very quickly. You get your own room, and if you have a partner come they are full supported and have a sofa bed there too (I was solo and would recommend not to do it solo)
Really only 2 negatives otherwise very good - Right at the start when the cannula was put in, I told them I was bad with needles / blood / vein related activity, but they didn’t understand. So I had to lay down, but still needed to sign the anaesthesia documents. After 5 mins I got up, went light headed, tried to get back to the bed, past out and banged my head on something as I went down and woke up panicked on the floor alone. This was a translation issue, but it was kind of a shaking experience right at the start. The other was the sleep sedative not working for 2-3 hours, not much sleep nor pain relief at that point.

I would recommend her to anybody needing to get anything done
I was coming in from the US, so the first people I was in contact with were the coordinators (Ege and Sebnem) they arranged my transportation as well as accommodations. They were very helpful, fluent in english and readily available to address any problems or concerns that I had.
The clinic itself was modern and well kept. A good amount of the staff can speak english well and their hospitality is some of the best I have received anywhere.
The most important person on this trip was obviously my surgeon Dr. Ece Kalafatlar. She performed gynecomastia Surgery on me and this lady knows how to do her job. She is a fluent English speaker, she explains everything in detail, she addresses any and all of your concerns. I felt comfortable going into surgery and I was very pleased by my results. She followed up with me 2 times after the surgery to make sure everything was progressing as it should and to make sure I was ready for my 22 hr trip back home. I would recommend her to anybody needing to get anything done.
I would recommend the clinic to foreigners, because they plan for everything (accomodation and transportation) and they charge what they quote.

"I think the experience would have been vastly different (in a bad way) if I weren't to have used them
The medical team were great, very attentive. They did a wonderful job of making me feel safe immediately post operation and when I can back for a review
Bookimed have been excellent in this process, I think the experience would have been vastly different (in a bad way) if I weren't to have used them.
As I was travelling abroad to get my surgery done, I felt lost and clueless in the plethora of clinics and doctors out there. Hugo done a great job of shortlisting the best clinics suited to me and produced a package which I would not of been able to do on my own.

The surgeon and all the staff were professional and attentive, which provided a lot of comfort
My biggest worry going into this was the recovery process itself. While it's still too early to judge the final chest contour, the progress is clear. The most difficult part has been the sleeping position limits, which is a genuine challenge. But even with the swelling, I already feel confident in fitted shirts. The fit is great. The surgeon and all the staff were professional and attentive, which provided a lot of comfort. The whole process was handled very well, from the initial contact to the post-op care.
Professionalism, great staff, nice hotel

"I would recommend her to everyone and I am very thankful to her
I could not be happier with Dr Nermin and all the nurses and staff. From the initial consultation to the actual surgery and follow ups this has been a positive experience. Dr Nermin showed me her previous work at the consultation.Once I saw the results I knew that I wanted her to do my surgery. The results are
amazing and I’m so pleased with everything. I would recommend her to everyone and I am very thankful to her.

I have given a review on trust pilot, and have given everything a 10
I would give the whole experience a 5, in fact apart from the food, everything was first class. I have given a review on trust pilot, and have given everything a 10. I have had surgery myself last year, and the experience was not good. Everyone was great, from the beginning. And a big thank you to Winnington, who was so great from the beginning.

It’s been a few weeks and results look good
Location was very clean. The staff was pleasant. The doctor was confident in his approach. It’s been a few weeks and results look good. It takes time I understand so I’m waiting to see the final results. But so far so good.
The people I worked with were kind.

Overall I strongly reccomend the Doctor and the clinic!
I am happy enough with the decision I made in regard to the clinic. The proccess was professional, smooth and clear, which is what matters. The doctor did a very good job, and I thank him a lot! Coordinator, his name Ismail, was also very helpful, kind and professional, I also had a driver everywhere I needed to go. Bookimed also did their job very well. My only concern is that the nurses and the rest of the staff in the clinic don't really speak english, some not at all, but we used Google Translate so it wasn't a strong barrier. Overall I strongly reccomend the Doctor and the clinic!
Coordinator was awesome, very helpful. Very good english, very clear about everything. The proccess was smooth and quick. The doctor did an awesome job and I really thank him for that. I had a driver with me everywhere which was also very nice! Overall a very good impression!
The nurses and personal from the clinic don't speak english at comunication level, but it's not so bad.

The hospital was spotless
Everything went well at the airport. The hospital was spotless. My surgeon explained what the results would be and I agreed to the gynecomastia procedure. It's now five months later and the scar is there, as expected, but my nipples are a mess. That part wasn't explained to me. I didn't take my shirt off before because of man boobs and now I can't take my shirt off because of my embarrassing nipples. They look nothing alike!
