General Surgery Reviews
Had an initial consultation with Dr. Bakisgan at Soracamed in Istanbul. The clinic facilities looked great, very modern, and the coordinators were helpful. The doctor was polite and listened to my reasons for being there. Didn't get a deep dive into his specific surgical specialties during that first meeting, but the overall impression was professional. Still gathering information. Met Dr. Bakışgan at Soracamed Istanbul. The appointment booking was smooth. He seemed pleasant enough during the chat about a potential procedure. Found it a bit tricky to find lots of detailed reviews or specific info about his main focus areas online beforehand compared to some others, but the clinic itself seems reputable. The consultation was fine, standard process. My experience at Soracamed Istanbul involved a consultation with Dr. Bakisgan. He generally outlined the procedure I was interested in and the typical recovery expectations. Seemed competent, but I would have liked a bit more detail on his specific track record with that particular surgery. The clinic environment was professional, and the support staff were efficient and friendly throughout my visit.
Dr. Gunduz is an exceptional bariatric surgeon. As an Associate Professor working via Soracamed Antalya, his expertise in obesity surgery (I had a gastric sleeve) is top-tier. He explained everything, including the Da Vinci system potential, very clearly. His IFSO membership and experience with complex cases were reassuring. The surgery was life-changing. Highly recommend him for anyone considering weight loss surgery. Saw Associate Professor Gündüz for laparoscopic hernia surgery. His extensive background in general surgery at major Antalya hospitals, combined with his academic title, gave me great confidence. The procedure was smooth, recovery was quick thanks to the minimal invasion. He's clearly a very skilled and knowledgeable surgeon. Professional service facilitated through Soracamed. Needed metabolic surgery and chose Dr. Gunduz based on his specialization and credentials. He now has his own clinic but operates through partner hospitals like those Soracamed uses. His experience as a clinical trainer and his focus on bariatric/metabolic procedures were key factors. The care coordination was excellent, and the surgical outcome has been fantastic for my health.
Having my gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Karataş was the best decision I've made for my health. He's incredibly experienced, and his confidence is reassuring. The V-lock technique he uses seemed to make my recovery quicker. The pre-op guidance and post-op support were excellent. Lost a significant amount of weight already and feeling healthier than ever. A truly life-changing experience thanks to him. Dr. Karatas is a rockstar in bariatric surgery. I did extensive research before choosing him for my type 2 diabetes surgery, and his reputation is well-deserved. He explains the complex procedure in a way you can understand. The surgery went perfectly, and my health has dramatically improved. His office in Şişli is professional, and the coordination with the hospital was flawless. Travelled from London specifically for surgery with Dr. Karataş after seeing his results and reading about his experience. Absolutely top-notch care from start to finish. He's clearly a leader in his field, very knowledgeable about metabolic surgery. The whole process felt safe and well-managed. Pleased with the results and the comprehensive care plan provided for afters.
Dr. Toydemir is the go-to surgeon for reflux issues. After suffering for years, his laparoscopic expertise finally resolved my severe GERD. His experience working with Prof. Yerdel and his time in New York studying bariatric techniques show his dedication. Professional, clear communication, and fantastic results. Highly recommended. Professor Toydemir performed my gastric sleeve surgery. His focus on advanced laparoscopy and his board certification gave me immense confidence. He was thorough in explaining the procedure and potential outcomes. His experience, including time spent learning revision techniques in the US, is invaluable. Excellent surgeon. If considering bariatric surgery, look no further than Dr. Toydemir. His extensive experience, combined with international training and his professorship, puts him at the top. He has a very reassuring, professional approach and ensures you are fully informed. The follow-up care has also been excellent. Great choice for weight loss surgery.
Blimey, where do I start? Had the BPD/DS with the doc about 9 months back. Honestly, totally life-changing. The weight's just dropped off, feel like a new bloke. The surgeon was brilliant, proper skilled, explained everything clearly. Bit nervous beforehand, naturally, but the whole team made me feel dead comfortable. Recovery wasn't a walk in the park, mind, but worth every second. Feel healthier than I have in donkeys' years. If you're thinking about it, just go for it. Top marks all round, really chuffed with the results. Cheers doc!
My BPD/DS journey with the surgeon and his team was remarkably smooth, considering how complex it is. From the initial consultation, he was thorough, patient, and answered all my questions, putting my mind at ease. The surgery itself went well, and the post-op care was excellent. The nurses were attentive, and the doctor checked in regularly. Adjusting to the new diet is ongoing, but the support provided has been fantastic. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. It’s a significant operation, but having such a competent and reassuring surgeon made all the difference for me.
Right then, had my BPD/DS surgery done by this surgeon a fair while back. Can't fault the man himself – top notch, knows his stuff inside out. The procedure went as planned, and the results are undeniable, the weight loss is significant. Recovery had its moments, felt pretty knackered the first few weeks, which is expected I suppose. Only tiny niggle was the hospital admin felt a bit slow sometimes sorting appointments, but that’s hardly the doc’s fault, is it? The important bit – the surgery and the surgeon's skill – was absolutely spot on. Definitely the right decision.
I was so terribly scared before my BPD/DS operation, but the doctor was just wonderful. He has such a calming way about him, explained everything without making it sound too terrifying, which really gave me the confidence I needed. The surgery has truly given me my life back – my type 2 diabetes is in remission, I can play with my grandkids properly now without getting breathless. It's like night and day. The aftercare has been great too, always someone to talk to if I have worries. Honestly, feeling quite emotional thinking about how much things have improved. Forever grateful.
Well, what can I say? The surgeon's a proper legend. Had the Duodenal Switch thingy, bit of a mouthful that one, innit? Was bricking it beforehand, if I'm honest, but he was so down-to-earth, made you feel like you were his only patient that day. Surgery went without a hitch. The follow-up has been bang on too – they really keep an eye on you, making sure you're taking the vitamins and all that jazz. Honestly, best thing I ever did for myself. Feel fitter than a butcher's dog now! Big thanks to the doc and all the lovely staff.
Man, getting this balloon thing done by the doc was way smoother than I figured. He broke it all down real simple, no fancy talk. Felt like he actually listened, y'know? The procedure was quick. Now I'm finally getting a grip on my eating habits. Big thanks to him and his crew. Good people over there.
