Vasectomy
I was highly recommended to visit Esnaf Hospital by a friend who has had treatment there before. I made an appointment with Emel to see a vascular specialist who was brilliant. He started by taking blood samples, an ECG and an ultrasound. From the results of the tests, he recommended that I have an angiography, which I had done. He also put me on some new medication. The cost of my treatment was also very competitive. I was so impressed with the level of service from all the staff there and the cleanliness of the hospital, that I now have regular checkups every 6 months there. I therefore highly recommend anyone to visit Esnaf Hospital.
Cataract Surgery
I have just had Cataract surgery at the Esnaf Hospital and I want to express my thanks to Doctor Nazir E Demirci and her team for looking after me and helping me to get through the procedure. Doctor Demirci was kind and understanding. I also want to mention the translator Emre Can. He was so helpful and reassuring and made me feel relaxed and positive about the procedure. He checked with me that I was happy throughout the process. I think he is an excellent representative of how staff should present themselves within the Esnaf Hospital. I would recommend him to anyone who needs medical treatment or advise His communication skills are first-class. The Esnaf hospital is very clean and a comfortable place to be.
Plastic Surgeon Consultation
We have just returned from Fethiye where my husband had a nasty fall and was treated efficiently and quickly by the accident and emergency department. He had a nasty cut to his thumb and fractured cheekbone. He was pretty poorly and so he was admitted for tests including a CT scan. He had many tests and examinations before being released the next day. They nurses and doctors were very caring and professional, and we also had the services of a young English woman called Jess who was invaluable throughout for her translation skills. Thank you Esnaf!
Gallbladder Removal
After feeling so unwell for many years at 55 felt I could go on for much longer and went to my doctor so many in times after blood tests etc said there was nothing of concern. I had fatigue felt nausea dizzy and just rubbish the whole time. I was recommended to have full health in Turkey at the Esnafe! Well for £600 they checked every system in my body. Discovered I had gallstones. Checked my symptoms which could very easily be gallstones. I decided to have my gallbladder removed in the Esnafe in Turkey who got to the bottom of my problem. From start to finish I felt safe and totally looked after. It’s been 3 weeks feel like a new woman! Thank the Esnafe, big shout for Emel and her team. You have given me my life back. Now I have a clean bill of health peace of mind!
Plastic Surgeon Consultation
I had a serious accident whilst on holiday in Turkey. The scans and x-rays required to assess the damage were done quickly and two surgeons used that information to choose the best course of treatment for me. I had numerous fractures and a broken femur that needed operating on. I was given a comfortable private room, well equipped and modern, then I underwent surgery for the broken femur at the earliest opportunity. After the operation, I was bed-bound for a week before I was able to leave the hospital. During my whole stay all the staff, doctors, nurses, translators, cleaners and caterers were all excellent. They were unfailingly cheerful and helpful and I felt well cared for. Simply put, the whole team did everything they could to make my stay as comfortable as possible and I'm enormously grateful to them all.
Eyelid Surgery
I underwent upper eyelid surgery. I initially made contact via WhatsApp after being recommended to the hospital by a former client. I had long conversations with Bora about the procedure, in English and arranged an appointment. On the day of the appointment, I met Batu who became my chaperone and interpreter. The hospital itself was modern and very clean. I met with Rita Inan Kocaarslan the surgeon and following the consultation I booked my operation. As I have many medical issues the Dr insisted on additional tests along with the usual blood, ECG and chest X-ray. Additionally, I had to see an internal medicine consultant, who went through my medical history and medication and after ordering additional blood tests gave the go-ahead. As a precaution, I was told that they would keep me in overnight just to keep an eye on me. On the day of the operation, I was again met by Batu and I was admitted and shown to my room which had TV, fridge comfortable sofa and en-suite bathroom. The operation all went very smoothly and afterwards I received excellent care from the nursing staff. Even though I couldn’t eat they provided food and drink for my daughter. For the additional tests and Dr consultation, I was charged £113.76 extra but was not charged for my overnight stay and care which I think this is very reasonable. On discharge, I was given multiple prescription items to help with my recovery. After discharge, I was given an appointment to see the surgeon to be followed up and given my fit to fly certificate. I didn’t have any problems and it all went to plan and I flew home. I had my stitches removed at my GP's and the nurse commented on the good job that the surgeon had done. My recovery is continuing and I have had contact with Bora via WhatsApp since I returned and he checks how I am progressing. I highly recommend this hospital/surgeon and the whole team and if I had any further procedures I would undoubtedly use them again.
Neurology
Lokman Esnaf Hospital were fantastic when my husband hurt his back had to go to A&E last week. From start to finish they were amazing. Straight through to a bay and Doctor came within 10 mins, painkiller injection and mri and results within a few hours. We were supported by their English interpreter 'Stevi Jones' who explained everything to us and translated any conversations with the Doctors. We saw the Consultant Neurologist 'Dr Necati Hazar' the next day, hubby was examined and mri scan explained with the help of another translator Maria, who is also very helpful and kind. Dr Hazar recommended a treatment that could help if it didn't improve. Thankfully with the prescribed drugs and a week extended to our hols, hubby seems to be recovering well. Esnaf promised we'd have full results for our insurance by the next day translated into English and they were with us by the next day and a few days later the 'fit to fly"certificate was emailed through, again thanks to Stevi Jones. So a big thank you to everyone at the Esnaf Hospital for helping us. Amazing work.
