I submitted my request and received a response very quickly from a member of their team. Her name is Veronika, and she was wonderful in communicating with me and provided me with answers to all my concerns, making sure I get a hold of my doctor for consultation. The services were exceptional and wonderful. Thank you very much

I travelled to Istanbul for a penile implant procedure with Dr. Buğra Çetin, and overall my experience has been very positive.
Like many men, I had been struggling with worsening ED for some time. Lifestyle improvements and medication helped for a while but eventually stopped being effective. My partner and I have a loving relationship and we both felt that a penile implant would allow us to maintain an active and satisfying intimate life for many years to come. After researching options internationally, I was introduced to Dr. Çetin through Bookimed.
I was initially cautious about medical tourism, but once I spoke directly with Dr. Çetin and his team I felt much more comfortable. The overall package was clearly explained and included hospital care, accommodation, transfers and translation services. Compared with prices in the UK the cost was still significant but far more reasonable.
The hospital itself was excellent. All pre-operative tests were carried out efficiently and the facility and staff were highly professional. My surgery was scheduled the same day after consultation.
There were a few organisational bumps along the way (for example transport and hotel booking confusion on arrival). These things were resolved quickly but can feel a little unsettling when you are travelling in a different country. That said, everything promised in the package was ultimately delivered and the medical care itself was excellent.
The first 24 hours after surgery were quite painful, which I think is important for patients to know beforehand, although the pain was well managed in hospital and improved significantly after the first day. One thing that surprised me was that the implant remains fully inflated for the first few days after surgery. That period can be uncomfortable but it is temporary and part of the process.
A few practical tips for anyone travelling for this procedure:
Bring supportive close-fitting underwear to protect the area after surgery.
Satin or very smooth pyjama shorts can help when turning over in bed, as they reduce friction and make movement easier during the first few days.
Pack very loose trousers or tracksuit bottoms rather than jeans.
Slip-on shoes are much easier than trainers that require bending down.
Consider bringing simple pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen.
It is also helpful to have some local cash, as pharmacies may not accept cards for small purchases.
These are small things, but they can make the recovery period much easier.
I am currently about ten days post-surgery and recovery has been progressing well. The swelling and pain have reduced significantly and things improve a little each day. Full healing takes several weeks, but so far I am very pleased with the outcome and the care I received.
Dr. Çetin was professional, reassuring and clearly very experienced in this field. For anyone considering this procedure and researching options internationally, I would certainly recommend speaking with him and his team.

I like the fact that they replied me in less than 5 minutes when ever I ask them some and they are always avaliable when I needed their help, this is the major reason why I chose this company I had 2 other company before but I chose them because they were very quick to reply me the others took days to reply which I didn't find it professional .

I recently used Bookimed to organize a second rhinoplasty, and I have to say the whole experience so far has been incredibly smooth and reassuring.
From the very beginning, the team helped me find the right doctor and recommended Lokman Hekim Istanbul Hospital, which immediately gave me confidence. They were very responsive and took the time to answer all my questions, which made the decision process much easier.
They also helped organize the entire trip to Türkiye — from the clinic coordination to the logistics — and everything has been very clear, well explained, and stress-free. Even the budget and pricing were transparent, which I really appreciated.
At this stage, I’m very happy with the support and professionalism of the Bookimed team. I truly hope the surgery and the results will be just as good as the experience I’ve had so far.
I will definitely come back and leave another review after the procedure to share the final results.

I had a full check-up for women in Turkey. Bookimed helped me organize everything quickly and select the necessary diagnostic package. Everyone at the hospital was friendly, and there were almost no queues. All examinations went according to plan. The hotel was quite far from the clinic, but the clinic provided a free transfer.

In January 2024, I had a hair transplant performed by Ali Ekber Yürekli. The very next day, based on the recommendation and persuasion of this so-called doctor, I was placed into an oxygen chamber that he claimed would be beneficial for the transplanted hair. This device appeared to be something he had invented or improvised himself and most likely did not even have approval from the Ministry of Health.
Despite the fact that I clearly informed Ali Ekber Yürekli that my right ear had previously undergone surgery, he responded in an unprofessional manner, saying, “We will increase the pressure slowly, nothing will happen,” and proceeded to take responsibility for a medical decision that should only be handled by a qualified ENT specialist.
I was never informed that this application was new or experimental. No proper information was given about the machine. The device itself did not have official approval from the Ministry of Health, and within a few days all of the equipment was removed or destroyed, which I consider to be an attempt to eliminate evidence. I will also pursue legal consequences for this.
They did not obtain an informed consent form from me, as any proper medical facility should. It felt more like an unregulated operation.
About five minutes after entering the oxygen chamber, my left eardrum ruptured. When I informed the operator, I was told, “Everyone feels that way,” and the procedure continued regardless. No protective equipment for the ears was provided; I was placed into the machine with completely unprotected ears. Normally ear protection should be provided, but that day it was neglected.
Because of the operator’s lack of knowledge and the incompetence of Ali Ekber Yürekli, my left eardrum ruptured. More importantly, I developed permanent tinnitus in both ears. For the past two years I have visited countless doctors, and today I have to use hearing aids in both ears.
In short, I lost my health because of these unqualified individuals. If you do not want to risk your health, stay away from them.
The legal process is currently ongoing. They are now claiming that they never had such a device in their clinic, but I have submitted photographs to the relevant authorities as evidence. They have also presented two of their own employees as false witnesses; I will file additional legal complaints against them as the case progresses.
Stay away from Ali Ekber Yürekli and this establishment. If you do a little research, you will see that there are already many legal cases filed against them.

Bookimed organised everything for me. They really listened to what I wanted, and excelled in providing me with the best of care. From pick up at the airport, all of the transfers, the international services, the hospital, the staff, the hotel accomodation and the Consultant. Bookimed were a pleasure to deal with. They made me the priority and catered for everything. I highly recommend them.

At first, I went to Ankara for a SARPE procedure, but there I was told that nothing could be done and that the operation would be too complicated. After that, with the help of my coordinator Yeva, we found a more suitable clinic and successfully completed the surgery.
I am very satisfied both with the level of the hospital and with the quality of the operation itself. The doctor continues to follow up with me after the procedure, which gives me additional confidence and peace of mind.
Overall, everything was organized professionally, and the service genuinely helped me find the right medical solution. I am very pleased with the whole experience.

Once again, a huge thank you to this company and the staff for helping me resolve all my issues.

I wanted to get a full check-up at a good clinic with professionals who know their stuff. Of all the medical tourism services, the Bookimed website inspired the most confidence. Coordinator Kristina helped me choose the top clinic and package of diagnostics and tests. Everything was organized quickly - from booking to traveling to Germany.
Sometimes the diagnostics took longer than I thought. But the overall impression was good. The coordinator and the clinic’s doctors are true professionals.

The profit is a most important and not the patients. I never will go go back. Professionalismus is bad, like the care of patients,
