"My wife and I traveled from Los Angeles, California to Istanbul specifically for a Full Body Check-Up at Liv Hospital Ulus, and we were truly impressed by the outstanding quality of service and medical care. From the moment we entered the facility, everything exceeded our expectations — from the modern, hotel-level environment to the professionalism of the entire staff. We underwent a comprehensive health screening, which included extensive blood tests, ultrasounds of the abdomen, pelvis, thyroid, and breasts, as well as ECG, fluorography, and consultations with a dietitian, cardiologist, and internal medicine doctor. The process was smooth, well-organized, and incredibly efficient. In addition to the regular check-up, I requested an examination by an ENT specialist, Dr. Elçin Aritürk, as I’ve struggled with breathing issues due to a deviated septum my entire life. After a detailed examination, the doctor confirmed the need for surgery. Since this type of procedure is not covered by my insurance in Los Angeles (being considered cosmetic) and costs around $16k there, I decided to proceed with the operation here at Liv Hospital. The cost here was just $4k, which also included one night of accommodation. Today is the seventh day after surgery, and I’ve just had the silicone tubes removed from my nose — it has truly been life-changing. For the first time in my life, I can breathe freely through my nose. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Aritürk for her incredible care, expertise, and compassion. Her approach was phenomenal and absolutely professional. The hospital itself is on a world-class level — much higher in quality than most medical centers we’ve experienced in California. The rooms, service, and medical technology are all top-tier. The cost-to-quality ratio is unmatched, and in fact, the quality far surpasses the price. We are extremely satisfied with our experience. We would also like to give special thanks to our translator and coordinator, Tatyana Kulak, who was by our side throughout the entire process. She translated everything from Turkish to Russian, offered constant support, and ensured we felt comfortable and cared for at every step. Her assistance was invaluable and added a personal touch that made the entire experience even more seamless. After researching and calling five different hospitals, we chose Liv Hospital because of its fair pricing and excellent reputation and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. This will now become a yearly tradition for us, and we will definitely return for our annual check-ups. Highly recommended to anyone considering high-quality medical care abroad. Liv Hospital Ulus offers professionalism, hospitality, and value at the highest level."

"TO THE MANAGEMENT OF LIV HOSPITAL ULUS, During my visit to Istanbul, my mother and I had the opportunity to have our check-up at Liv Hospital Ulus. On behalf of myself and my family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the superior quality of service, professionalism, and hospitality you have shown. Hospital's modern infrastructure, excellent organizational structure, and institutional discipline in healthcare impressed us from the very beginning. However, what pleased us most throughout this process was the sincerity, care, and genuine, humane approach of everyone, from your doctors to your staff. Special thanks to translator, Ms. Elmira Kalkan, who was with us at every stage of our process. Ms. Kalkan acted as a bridge not only in language and translation, but also in the most sensitive aspects of patient-doctor communication, guiding us with extraordinary care and courtesy. Her communication skills, empathy, and professionalism ensured that our treatment process proceeded both smoothly and peacefully. Sharing the same environment with such qualified and dedicated staff has been a true source of satisfaction for us. I also extend my gratitude to your esteemed physicians, Prof. Dr. Binnur Şimşek and Prof. Dr. Hakan Yanar, Op.Dr.Sibel Malkoc who meticulously managed our process and instilled our trust. The knowledge, patient approach, and compassion of both doctors are the best indicators of Liv Hospital's vision of excellence in healthcare. While we have had various treatment experiences at various healthcare institutions in Turkey, the quality, systematic excellence, and people-focused service we encountered at Liv Hospital Ulus Hospital are on a completely different level. The trust, comfort, and human value we felt here have further reinforced our respect for your country's healthcare system. Therefore, I would like to thank, first and foremost, to our physicians, Prof. Dr. Binnur Şimşek and Prof. Dr. Hakan Yanar, Op.Dr.Sibel Malkoc and to our translator, Ms. Elmira Kalkan, for their unwavering support, and to the entire Liv Hospital Ulus team. I wish your institution continued success. Sincerely, On Behalf of Bakhrom Sadykov and My Family."

"I had an excellent experience with Dr Doğa Seçkin at Liv Hospital. He is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely cares about his patients. Throughout my visits, he took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and make sure I felt comfortable and informed. His professional yet warm approach truly sets him apart. Liv Hospital itself is also outstanding — clean, modern, and well-organized, with a staff that is both helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Kerem Doğa Seçkin and Liv Hospital to anyone looking for top-quality medical care."

"Doctor said I needed urgent surgery for hernia. Contacted Christmas Day. Flew today, Boxing Day . Consultation 3 pm professor of internal medicine. Laparoscopic surgery 18-30 NHS said 6 months. Except for if it became strangulated then I’d have to hope I got to hospital in time. All staff, facilities outstanding. No faults whatsoever"

"I came to Liv Hospital in Istanbul for a hair transplant and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The medical team was professional, the facilities were modern and clean, and the results are looking great even early on. A special thank you to my translator Saleh Hreib — he was incredibly helpful, patient, and made sure I understood every step of the process. His support made everything much easier and more comfortable. While I was there for the hair transplant, I also took the opportunity to do a full body check-up, and I was impressed with how thorough and efficient it was. Highly recommend Liv Hospital for anyone considering medical tourism. Thank you to the whole team!"
