This is a modern and well organized hospital, especially for international patients. All steps of our trip were planned carefully. Doctor Baran Yilmaz answered all important questions about the forthcoming procedure, he was pleasant and open for discussion. He and his assistant, Esra performed the procedure professionally and with kind approach that minimizes my discomfort and anxiety. Our experience was fulfilled by the efforts of Edina who helped us for organizing the trip and Lejla who was with us in the most difficult moments.
