Op. Dr. Mahmut Doğan Avis 

My experience was awesome but the only small hiccup is communicating with the nurses. But the first night arriving one of the nurses wasn’t doing a good job at putting the needle in my wrist and he surely bruised up my wrist. Didn’t see him after that during the rest of my time there
Dr Dogan and his crew were awesome tho. Hospital was nice and spacious with a great view. The hotel was good too.

I cannot recommend Dr Dogan highly enough. From my very first consultation through to my gastric sleeve surgery and follow-up care, I felt completely supported, informed, and safe.

Dr Dogan & his wonderful team took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answered all of my questions with patience, and made sure I felt confident in my decision. On surgery day, everything was handled professionally and smoothly, which really helped ease my nerves.

The results have been life-changing, and I am so grateful for Dr Dogan’s skill and expertise. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he is also compassionate and genuinely cares about his patients’ wellbeing and long-term success.

If you are considering gastric sleeve surgery, I would absolutely recommend Dr Dogan. Thank you for helping me start a healthier, happier chapter of my life!

The best experience I’ve had and Doctor Dogan and his team were supportive and professional. You couldn’t ask for a better person to help you make the best decision for your health.

For me I rate it a 5/5 experience. There was a language barrier but the nursing staff, all staff actually, were accommodating and patient with me. They always took the time to make sure I understood what was happening and made me feel well looked after.

A big thanks to everyone involved in my care, I truly appreciate it.

Dr Dogan and his team were awesome, made the process alot easier. They were really helpful from the moment I got until I departed. Staff and were very caring and attentive, and the Surgery process was second to none, Dr Dogan did everything possible to make sure surgery was going to be a success. Definitely recommend Dogan and his team to anyone looking for a good and trustworthy surgeon.

As anyone would be, I was nervous and unsure, but the team and Dr. Mahmut were so amazing and made me feel so comfortable, as if I were at home. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone. Thank you so much for my new lease on life.

Very good service good communication from Dr Mahmut he explain everything about the surgery.only thing is the language barrier with the nurse but they were excellent.
Thank you Dr Mahmut and team.

Great service from start to finish. Great experience with the team and post op. Doc and his team are very helpful and i would recommend them to anyone going over to Turkey to start your new health journey.

My experience with here at the hospital staff and doctors were next level great care. From the time I was admitted to the time I left the hospital I was in great hands and very friendly nurses that cared about your healing. Thank you to everyone will be seeing yous again. ♥️

Absolutely amazing service from beginning to end. Nothing to fault. Communication with everyone is spot on and on time. Transport arrangements and accomodations, nothing to fault. The doctor is very professional and friendly. Nurses did have to use translating services, but some of the nicest people. I'm black, so i thought I'd have a different situation, but, nope, i don't recall any ounce of racism or discrimination. Everyone was absolutely friendly even the cleaners too. Beautiful hospital, clean. Great cafe downstairs, i suggest you have a coffee there before surgery. I still dream of it lol. 10/10 everything.

Absolutely incredible experience.
Felt like I was at home,great communication,amazing team,amazing surgeon! What more could I ask for
Hospital and hotel were 10/10.
I wish I have done this sooner,but so glad I have now!

I had a gastric sleeve with Dr Nahmut Doghan May 2024 and the whole experience from start to finish was outstanding. I have just returned to Istanbul after losing 6 st for skin removal and breast augmentation following recommendations from Dr Doghan and he went out of his way to come and say 'Hi'. The whole team have been outstanding.

Hi,
The whole process from start to finish went really well. I feel great and haven’t had any issues since the day of the operation.
I would definitely rate my experience a 5 out of 5. You and your communication team with us were fantastic, the doctor was great, and everyone else involved was very professional and supportive.
The only slight issue was with the nurses at the hospital, as they were a bit slow at times and we had a few minor issues getting assistance. Aside from that, everything else was excellent. I’ve already lost 7kgs and I’m now going on week 2

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Mahmut Dogan and his incredible team.Making the decision to have surgery is not easy, but from the very first enquiry, I felt supported, informed, and genuinely cared for.

The communication was outstanding from the beginning. Every question I had was answered clearly and professionally, which gave me complete confidence even before I arrived. From booking my surgery to being dropped at the airport to return home, everything was handled with excellence and care.

Dr Mahmut Dogan is truly exceptional. He takes the time to explain every detail, ensuring you understand the process and feel comfortable with your decision. In hospital, I felt safe, reassured, and in the very best hands. His calm, knowledgeable approach makes all the difference when you’re taking such an important step in your life.

Choosing this surgery has been the beginning of a brand new chapter for me — a healthier, stronger, more confident version of myself. If you are thinking about taking this step, I want to encourage you: do your research, ask your questions, and trust yourself. Having the right surgeon and team changes everything, and I am so grateful I chose Dr Mahmut Dogan.

This journey has truly been life-changing, and I will forever be thankful for the care and opportunity they have given me.

Thank you, Dr Mahnut Dogan and the entire team.

Dr mahmut dogen and team are so professional from start to finish. Transfers to and from the airport were easy. The hospital was very well maintained. Rooms at the hospital and the hotel were very good for both myself and my support person. My only downfall is the lack of English spoke so having a translation app is a must. Overall experience was great and would recommend to anyone thinking of doing weightloss surgery.

I wasn’t sure at first about travelling to turkey for the surgery. The price was very enticing compared to Australia but I wanted to be sure I was safe. I joined the group on fb to see others experience and gain more knowledge. I ended up connecting with someone in my town, who actually ended up knowing my partner. She had nothing but positive things to say so I took the leap.

I flew solo. I was nervous getting into the transfers and not knowing the language, but once at the hospital everyone spoke English and if they didn’t they always had google translate.

Every process is thoroughly explained. All tests done. I had my surgery the second day after I arrived. Tests the first day followed by surgery. Everything went well. Pain was actually much more minimal than I expected.

After care is amazing. Everything is explained to you and all your questions answered.

I ended up flying home on day 4 by personal choice and it was totally fine. I’ve had zero complications 4 months later and have already lost 27 kilos.

The hospital itself is incredible. It’s like nothing I’ve seen before. So clean!! You’re well looked after. They know exactly what you need before you even have to ask for it!!

I would 100% recommend Dr Doğan and his team. The whole operation is runs so smoothly and cohesively.

I will definitely be going back based on their recommendations for surgery for tummy tuck/ breasts etc when I am ready.

Cannot recommend enough!

Never knowing what to expect. I found this service fantastic. From communication, transfers. Places to go before operation. Everything was seamless for me. Hospital was great and so was the hotel. Would recommend Dr Dogan highly to anyone thinking of overseas surgery. And you cant beat the price. Well done Dr Dogan and your team x

Everything was great! First night when nurse was doing pre-op test guys was a bit rude, other than that had a great experience!!

Had a wonderful experience for my weight loss journey. Hospital staff were fantastic, patient and very accommodating. Consultants and liaisons were great too. Hospital facilities 5 star and hotel was fit for purpose.
Staff at hotel were great too. Couldn't fault my trip or the service.

Thank you Dr Dogan and your wonderful team!

From the first contact with Dr Dogan all I can say is it was the most professional service I have ever received . From my initial call with Kerem I knew I was making the right decision and that I was going to be in safe hands .
Kerem was very informative and explained everything in great detail . Everything prior to flying out to Istanbul was completely organised by kerem and all information emailed to me .

On arrival I could not have asked for anything better , I was met by a driver and on arrival at the hotel met by the nurse who got me to fill out paperwork and then settled me in to my room .

The hospital was five star pure luxury, very clean and full of all the mod cons . The standard of the hospital knocked spots off of any hospital in the UK .

Throughout that evening and night I underwent extensive tests to see if I were suitable for surgery in the morning . By 9am Kerem and Dr Dogan had come to see me and explained all procedures in great detail . By 10am I had all my results from all tests and all examinations completed . I met the team who were going to do the procedure and also met the dietician . This gave me so much confidence and I felt in safe hands and knew everything was going to go well .

Surgery went extremely well with no complications and the after care was second to none . Both myself and my husband who came with me were looked after in the hospital in a very professional and caring was . Nothing was a bother and the communication was excellent .

Before being discharged to the hotel I was seen by the team that day along with Dr Dogan and his dietician . On leaving the hospital I was given everything I needed for the next few days as well as everything I needed for the next month .
I left with very little pain and felt great .

The hotel stay went well and during that time I was visited by nurses and dietician to make sure all was well and I was able to fly home .

The service was most definitely five star and Dr Dogan one of the most professional surgeons I have come across . Both my husband and I work for the NHS and can honestly say everything was done to the highest of standard .

Kerem is the person who you have most contact with and he is the most kind and caring guy you could ever meet , he is there for you 24/7 and nothing is a bother . He is a credit to Dr Dogan and the team .

Two years down the line and I have never felt so amazing . I’ve lost 14 stone in weigh am off 28 tablets a day that I had been on for over 10 years and I’ve never felt better . No longer diabetic no longer have sleep apnea no longer have a fatty liver no longer have foot and leg neuropathy no longer have high blood pressure or high cholesterol . The health benefits are amazing and I have Dr Dogan to thank for this . He is the most amazing surgeon and I have him to thank for saving my life and giving me my life back .

Two years post surgery and I still get message from Kerem and the dietician who are always there if you feel you need them . The aftercare is the best I have ever come across .

I would highly recommend Dr Dogan and his team if you are thinking on going for gastric surgery he is simply the best .

I’ve never looked back over the last two years and I’m the healthiest I’ve been in 25 year .

From the bottom of my heart I thank Dr Dogan , kerem and all the team for what they have done for me .

Perfection in every way . X
