    We came to Türkiye seeking medical care after months of being unable to get a proper diagnosis, and we are very grateful for the care and professionalism we received at the hospital. Our experience started a little rough due to confusion with a translator hired externally by the hospital on a busy day. However, the staff quickly rectified the issue and made it right by arranging a second consultation with a professional medical interpreter, which made a tremendous difference. After reviewing previous medical records, Prof. Dr. Sevilay Oğuz performed her own biopsy and worked closely with the laboratory to confirm the diagnosis. She was thorough, compassionate, and very professional throughout the entire process. Follow-up appointments and treatment were arranged promptly, and the onsite pharmacy was able to compound the necessary medication. Records and billing were also handled clearly and professionally for future reference. Although our stay in Türkiye became longer than expected due to difficulty sourcing medication in Sierra Leone, the support we received was exceptional. A special thank you to John, our interpreter and liaison within the hospital, who went above and beyond by helping with transportation, accommodations, daily biopsy updates, and answering all our questions quickly and kindly. We also experienced incredible hospitality in Istanbul. The kindness of the people, amazing food, and beautiful surroundings made a stressful medical trip much easier. We are very grateful for the professionalism and care shown by the entire team.

    The staff and doctors were friendly and professional, the hospital was very clean, modern, and well-maintained, and the service was efficient. Prices are high, but that’s expected for a private hospital. The only downside was the cafeteria, the staff weren’t welcoming, and the food quality could definitely be improved.

    I visited Liv Hospital in Istanbul in March for a PET/CT scan, and I am extremely satisfied with the entire experience. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. The hospital arranged transportation from the airport to the hotel, as well as transfers to and from all medical appointments, which made the whole process stress-free and comfortable. The medical team was professional, attentive, and kind. They took the time to explain each step of the procedure and made me feel safe and well cared for throughout my stay. The staff was always courteous, responsive, and ready to help with any questions or concerns. As an international patient, I especially appreciated the excellent coordination and support provided during the entire visit. The level of organization, professionalism, and patient care exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Liv Hospital to anyone seeking high-quality medical services and a seamless experience abroad.

    I recently had surgery here and everything was first class! Dr Nazli Korkmaz's team made sure everything was set up for me. The international desk staff were amazing and arranged a translator, Alex who was excellent. The room was comfortable and had a locker for my items. Dr Korkmaz performed the surgery, she is the best! Post surgery the food was good and the hospital staff were wonderful. Prescription was available before discharge and aftercare was excellent. A fabulous experience all round.
