Breast biopsy in Hermes Clinics (Hermes Clinics A.Ş.)

Established in 2019, Hermes Clinics is a doctor-founded multi-specialty healthcare organization in Istanbul, Turkey. A team of 22 employees coordinates complex medical journeys for international patients. All treatments take place at licensed partner hospitals with official health tourism authority.

Quality Standards and Patient Volume

Hermes Clinics holds ISO 9001 quality management certification for its international healthcare processes. This means administrative and medical workflows meet global reliability standards. The clinic has coordinated care for approximately 30,000 patients across its medical directions.

Weight-Loss Surgery and Bariatric Care

The weight-loss department offers several surgical and non-surgical pathways for obesity management. Lead specialist Dr. Özgür Kemik is a Professor trained in laparoscopic and bariatric surgery. He completed fellowships at Acıbadem University and specialized training at SB Okmeydanı Training Hospital.

The clinic offers three primary weight-management methods:

• Gastric Sleeve: A minimally invasive surgery removing a portion of the stomach.
• Gastric Bypass: A surgical rerouting of the digestive system to limit calorie absorption.
• Gastric Balloon: An endoscopic procedure where a balloon remains in the stomach for 6–12 months.

Weight-loss packages include a structured recovery timeline. Gastric sleeve patients typically spend 3 nights in the hospital before discharge. The clinic provides lifelong aftercare and regular check-ins to support long-term success.

Dental Restoration and Aesthetics

The dental department specializes in full-mouth rehabilitation and cosmetic smile design. Dentists use titanium posts for All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant procedures. These techniques restore a full arch of teeth using only four or six strategically placed implants.

Patients seeking aesthetic improvements can choose from several restoration options:

• Zirconium and porcelain crowns for durability and natural appearance
• Porcelain veneers to correct tooth shape and color
• "Hollywood Smile" packages for complete dental transformations
• Professional teeth whitening treatments

Treatment plans follow a detailed assessment of the patient's bite and jaw structure. Specialists provide 24/7 care throughout the dental treatment process.

Oncology and Advanced Radiosurgery

The oncology department manages various malignancies using medical and radiation-based therapies. Specialists perform Stereotactic Radiosurgery to treat brain tumors, meningiomas, and acoustic neuromas. This high-precision method delivers radiation to lesions without traditional open surgery.

The clinic uses two radiosurgical platforms:

• Gamma Knife: Uses 201 sources of Cobalt-60 to target brain lesions in one session.
• CyberKnife: A robotic system that uses real-time imaging to track and treat tumors.

Specialists also provide chemotherapy and traditional radiation therapy. These treatments may be used alone or combined with surgery, depending on the tumor type.

International Patient Services

Hermes Clinics provides full support for patients traveling to Istanbul. The team coordinates all logistics, including VIP airport and clinic transfers. Patients stay in 5-star hotel accommodations during their recovery period outside the hospital.

Support services include:

• Online consultations via WhatsApp, Zoom, or Google Meet
• Multilingual international patient hosts
• Coordinated preoperative testing, including imaging and pulmonary function tests
• Free medication provided as part of treatment packages
• Accommodation for one companion at no extra cost

The clinic monitors patients after they return home through regular follow-up appointments. This keeps medical guidance available throughout the entire healing process.
