My aunt had a knee replacement surgery on both her knees and we've seen an incredible progress eventhough it's only been 2 weeks. Doctor is amazing, hospitality is another level, nurses and all procedures are highly professional. As someone who has been to many big hospitals in Turkey, I must say this one is by far the best cause they're health-oriented as opposed to money oriented. Definitely recommend it to anyone especially for orthopedic surgery and physiotherapy.

Getting a visa, airport pickup, comfortable travel, pre-operative examination, surgery, post-operative care, thermal hotel, and countless other services were provided. Throughout this process, they never left our side, not even for the shortest moment. I am very grateful to the Prusa Medica team and Op. Dr. Kayhan Turan; they left a profound impression on me. It was a pleasure to get to know you and work with you. I highly recommend them; they truly leave no question marks in your mind. They cleared away all the doubts I had
