Life savers
From the moment I came across an advertisement for gastric sleeve surgery at Central Hospital in Istanbul, I was intrigued by the pricing. The ad quoted £1,600, which starkly contrasted with the £2,600 quoted by other providers recommended by family members. Seeking clarity, I reached out to a consultant named Abdul Rahman via a UK WhatsApp number. His explanation that they are direct providers rather than agencies was convincing and became a key deciding factor for me. Abdul Rahman patiently answered all my questions, and after checking the positive reviews and the hospital's location and standards on Google, I was reassured that everything was up to my expectations. I booked my flight, sent a screenshot to Abdul Rahman, and he efficiently organized everything from airport transfer to hospital and hotel accommodations. Upon arrival at the hospital in the evening, I was warmly welcomed by Selim Effendi, a tall, impressive gentleman who immediately took me to my room and arranged for blood tests. The next morning, I was introduced to Jebur, the interpreter. Jebur's exceptional personality and professionalism stood out immediately. Fluent in both Turkish and English, he ensured smooth communication between me and the medical staff, making me feel comfortable and well-informed throughout the process. Jebur took charge from the start, guiding me through all the necessary pre-operative tests. His familiarity with the hospital and its staff meant that I never had to wait long for any procedures. His efficiency was matched by his supportive nature, always ensuring I understood each step of the process. During my stay, Jebur was a constant presence. He accompanied me to consultations with doctors, explaining medical jargon in simple terms and making sure I felt at ease. His dedication didn't end with the surgery. Even after the operation, when the dietician came to discuss my post-operative diet and care, Jebur was right there, translating and providing reassurance. Jebur's hard work and genuine care for patients were evident in every interaction. He was on his toes all the time, actively ensuring that everything was done promptly and correctly. His ability to build a rapport with both patients and hospital staff was remarkable, creating a seamless and supportive environment. The hospital staff, including doctors, nurses, and cleaners, were all incredibly friendly and proactive, ensuring that everything was done on time and often in advance. The communication within the hospital was excellent, leaving no room for any complaints. A particularly memorable moment was when the cafe staff downstairs served me green tea the morning after my operation. One staff member, noticing my pain, lifted his shirt to show his own surgical scars, reassuring me that I would soon feel better. In summary, Central Hospital exceeded my expectations. The staff's professionalism, friendliness, and efficiency were remarkable. Jebur, in particular, played a pivotal role in making my experience smooth and comfortable. For anyone considering gastric sleeve surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Central Hospital. You can trust them completely. Eyvallah to all the doctors, nurses, and cleaners at Central Hospital.
