Verified review.
Yes, I approve.
I would like to thank the VM Hospital team for everything.
very good customer service and we were satisfied with the treatment. if you don't understand the language they have a translator.
I'm glad I chose bookimed for my femtolasik surgery in turkey, they have been so professional and helpful in every step. I'd personally like to thank Wissam for his assistance throughout the journey. Everything was beyond my expectation, the hospital, the doctors and the staff. I'm so hapy with the outcome of my surgery. Thankyou bookimed for helping me choose the best!
I would definitely recommend and I'm soo happy I went through with it
I really enjoyed my experience at the clinic, Anastasia was amazing, she literally showed me everything and took me everywhere on the day, even to the pharmacy to pick up all my eye drops and held my hand during the surgery (I was a little worried). Everything went very smoothly and it was very quick. After the surgery my eyes did hurt a fair amount as they explain if you have the no touch laser surgery like I did but I recovered after a few days and now my sight is great. I would defined recommend and I’m soo happy I went through with it.
About Bookimed service
100% satisfied with the support, I liked how they sourced out loads of different clinic prices and even went back and negotiated the prices and got them lower
RIP off !!
We was left there with no transportation to get us back to our hotel
When we complained all they said they didn’t have any drivers to take us but we’re quick enough to take our money over £100 for eye test

I enjoyed my time in the hospital. Despite some language barrier with the driver and Staff,everything went smooth. Really appreciate Wissam, his boss and the doctor. Wissam went above and beyond to make sure my journey was smooth. They arranged pick up from airport to hotel, and every trips from hotel to hospital and back. I do wish the staff would smile a bit and speak English a bit since it's an international hospital.
The doctor was really open and honest with what he can and cannot fix, which I appreciate. Price similar to what was discussed, no hidden cost. Only 24 hours after the surgery I was already in blue mosque enjoying the view with no issue whatsoever.
Highly recommended!
The arrangement, price, doctors expertise
Staff were not that smiley (other than Wissam) and language barrier can be overwhelming despite being international hospital.
The online consultation was good! Coordinator - Vitalia, knows her business well, very fast and good communication. Answered all my questions via text/calls. I am very grateful and pleased with the result.
Communication, understanding (I was terribly worried), knowledge of the whole matter.
I had an extremely frustrating experience at the hospital . None of the staff spoke English, which made it nearly impossible to communicate my concerns and questions. To make matters worse, they refused to accept card payments, and instead, they provided third-party payment details, which raised a huge financial red flag for me.
To add insult to injury, I was required to pay a deposit of $200 in cash, which I later found out was non-refundable. This is completely unfair and unacceptable. It left me feeling both financially and emotionally distressed, and I wouldn't recommend this hospital to anyone. Clear communication and fair payment practices are fundamental aspects of any healthcare facility, and this hospital failed miserably in both regards.
In addition to the communication and payment issues, I must mention that the hospital was located in a completely unsuitable area for tourists. This made the overall experience even more distressing. Visitors to a foreign country expect medical facilities to be accessible and accommodating, but this hospital was situated in a place that made it extremely inconvenient and uncomfortable for travelers. It's an important factor to consider for anyone planning to visit the area and needing medical care.
The total cost is calculated individually. It may range depending on your medical issue, doctor's qualification, procedure complexity and related complications (if they occur). You’ll get the exact price for a plastic surgery procedure after a consultation with a doctor.

I planned the trip on my own, buying into advertising, and specially came from another country. There were few patients, but the service was very slow; I waited for an hour at each office. I went in at 10 am, left at 4:30 pm, and had an appointment with the doctors in advance + I adjusted to their schedule due to their travel. The service is disgusting, the staff is indifferent and I had to raise my voice several times to get attention. I paid over $1000 to wait for hours (!) and left with mixed feelings

Everything went at the highest level. In the beginning, there were inconsistencies in the organization, which were immediately resolved for the benefit of the client, that is, me. Doctor of the aphthalmologist Belma Karini, I can only recommend, golden pens! The result of the operation exceeded all expectations not only of mine, but also of the doctor. Special thanks to the translator Dinara, she will not forget anything, she will organize everything, everything is clear and harmonious with her. The clinic is new, the wards are very clean and comfortable. I would say the Chambers are more like a luxury hotel suite. Everything in the shower glistens with towels, shampoos, etc. I RECOMMEND UNIFORMALLY !!!

I am very pleased that I made my choice and trusted the doctor, Professor Abdullah Ozkaya. It was this doctor who inspired confidence at our first meeting, was attentive, and answered all questions clearly and correctly. The clinic did not play any significance for me when choosing. Before that I was in 3 other clinics. But the doctors in those clinics did not inspire confidence in me. I think every person should find their own doctor. And a lot depends on the translator, how correctly he will translate everything. In other clinics, translators were incompetent. And of course, a big thank you to Anastasia, an employee of the Bookimed website ❤️
