best of the best
Before I chose Dr. Gökhan Mersinlioğlu, I contacted over 20 clinics to understand their offerings and working methods. Some clinics never replied, while others sent pictures of their facilities, which were in terrible condition. Some quoted extremely high prices, while others offered prices so low that it felt like a scam because they were overly pushy. It just didn’t feel right. Then I connected with Lena, a medical consultant from Arpanu Medical. She was excellent at answering my questions and provided me with three doctors, their prices, and the hospitals they worked in, allowing me to calmly do my research and choose between them. Lena gave me all the information I needed, making the process smooth and headache-free. She provided me with links to the hospitals, hotels, doctors' clinics, and their social media pages, allowing me to easily review their portfolios and make a well-informed decision. She provided reassurance while also giving me space to make my decision. Among all the clinics I contacted, Lena was the only one who made me feel confident that her agency was the right choice. After doing my research, I decided to go with Dr. Gökhan Mersinlioğlu because I liked his work ethic and, of course, his expertise in rhinoplasty and septoplasty, which aligned perfectly with my goals. Once I informed Lena of my choice and the timeframe I had in mind, she quickly arranged everything. I wanted to spend an extra week in Istanbul for tourism, and she organized it all—accommodation, transportation, and communication with the doctor. Lena managed every detail, making the experience stress-free, which I deeply appreciated. She kept me updated at every step, from pickups to appointments, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. Trusting her to handle my arrangements in Istanbul was the best decision I made. Thank you, Lena. I also want to extend my gratitude to the nurses at Medicana Hospital, who took great care of me during my overnight stay after the surgery. Special thanks to coordinators Robert and Roberta for their help with translations, and to Omar and nurse Burak at the hotel, who assisted me with my medication and ensured I was comfortable. I’m also thankful to all the staff at Nova Plaza Orion, Nova Plaza Prime, and Nova Plaza Pera—the hotels where I stayed during my time in Istanbul. Of course, a huge thanks goes to Dr. Gökhan Mersinlioğlu, an exceptional doctor. He was incredibly kind, and before the surgery, we had a thorough consultation where he made sure to understand my wishes for my nose. He exceeded my expectations. On the day my cast was removed, I visited his clinic to take off both the cast and the silicone nasal splints, which was almost painless. He was very helpful in answering all my questions and guiding me on what to do post-op. I underwent septorhinoplasty to improve both the appearance of my nose and my breathing. When I was younger, I had an injury that not only altered my nose’s appearance but also gave me a deviated septum, making it difficult to breathe. Dr. Gökhan helped me immensely, so much so that I stopped needing painkillers just three days after the surgery. Now, three weeks post-op, I’ve been home for two weeks. Dr. Mohamed Sid, my post-op doctor, has been in regular contact, checking in on me and evaluating my progress through photos of my nose. This ongoing care has been incredibly reassuring. Dr. Mohamed Sid has been wonderful in answering questions and making sure everything is going smoothly. Three weeks post-op, I have no swelling around my face or eyes, and my breathing has improved tenfold. I’m really excited to see the final result once all the swelling subsides. Thank you all the way from Denmark :)
