LIV Hospital services are very much in line with and in no way inferior to the world level, believe me, because due to health problems of my family, we had to see clinics in the USA, China, South Korea, Israel. From the very first call I felt great care for me as a loved one. Many thanks to Sabina, Nigina - coordinators / translators, they did a great job, we could contact them at any time of the day and they supported the patient with all their hearts. Please note that everything here is based on Turkish, only doctors can communicate in English. It can be seen how much Turkey has advanced and is self-sufficient. I am grateful to fate that I met the professor - neurosurgeon Chagatay Ozturk. Easy to communicate, concise, it is immediately clear that the highest level specialist, after the examination, identified the problem and showed it on the MRI scan and explained what was to come. An operation was performed to remove the hernia on L5-S1 and a titanium disc was installed. The atmosphere of the team was very favorable and cozy, there was a high level of coherence and discipline. The concern was such that I did not feel any pain or heaviness, although they say that the operation was not an easy one. On the second day after the operation, I already walked and on the sixth day I was already discharged. Finally I got rid of pain and sleepless nights over the years! I recommend to everyone, wizards work here - professionals in their field! Best regards, Gaziz Kissym Kazakhstan Услуги LIV Hospital очень даже соответствуют и никак не уступают мировому уровню, поверьте мне, так как в связи с проблемами со здоровьем моей семьи нам пришлось повидать клиники США, Китая, Южной Кореи, Израиль. Уже с первого звонка я почувствовал огромную заботу ко мне как к родному человеку. Огромное спасибо Сабине, Нигине - координаторам/переводчикам, они сделали большую работу, мы могли обращаться к ним в любое время суток и они всей душой болели за пациента. Имейте ввиду, что здесь все основано на турецком языке, только врачи могут общаться на английском. Видно как сильно продвинулась Турция и самообеспечена. Благодарен судьбе, что встретил профессора - нейрохирурга Чагатай Озтюрк. Прост в общении, краток, сразу видно, что высочайшего уровня специалист, после обследования определил проблему и показал на снимке МРТ и обьяснил, что предстоит. Провели операцию по удалению грыжи на L5-S1 и установили титановый диск. Атмосфера коллектива была очень благоприятной и уютной, чувствовалась высокая слаженность и дисциплина. Забота была такая, что я не почувствовал ни боли, ни тяжести, хотя говорят, что операция была не из простых. На второй день после операции я уже ходил и на шестой день уже выписался. Наконец-то я избавился от болей и бессонных ночей за многие годы! Рекомендую всем, здесь работают волшебники - профессионалы своего дела! С уважением, Gaziz Kissym Kazakhstan

Everything was fine. Bookimed was very kind to find me an appointment pretty short notice in Vienna. The surgent was very professional. The only thing I would have preferred was to pay with a credit card. I had to go to an ATM and pay cash.
I want to thank the team of the company Bookined sch rendered assistance in organizing a medical examination of my daughter Anastasia in the clinic Medipol Istanbul
Хочу поблагодарить команду компании Bookined за оказанную помощь в организации медицинского обследования моей дочери Анастасии в клинике Медипол г.Стамбул.(офтальмология)

Мы очень довольны уровнем обслуживания в клинике Медипол. Осмотр был проведен внимательно, детально и глубоко с ответственным профессиональным подходом. Установлен правильный диагноз. Назначенный курс лечения.
Все посещения к врачу на назначенный час, что давало возможность делать все быстро и оставалось время для экскурсий и личных дел.
Спасибо за организацию проживания и транспорт.
Большая благодарность команде координаторов по сопровождению (24/7) на протяжении всей поездки и до отъезда домой Фариде и Зульфие за забату, профессионализм и большую человечность.

İlgi çok iyi randevuya uyuluyor. Saatinde alınıyor doktorlar güleryüzle ve deneyimli insan gibi muamele görüyorsunuz kaliteli tavsiye ediyorum ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
the best hospital in Istanbul.
I've only had good experiences here. It's pricey but you can make actual appointments, for which you are generally seen on time, and the checkout process is efficient. The staff are well-trained and the bureaucratic process is well-refined. Of course, the doctors are top notch. Value added: it's a very nice hospital in aesthetic terms.
I did my full medical checkup here on Friday(with prior appointment). It was really amazing 5 stars experience and here are the positive things about this hospital -Free transportation for the patients from Bangkok international airport to the Hospital or hotels nearby. -Professional and enough staff available to help you. -Amazing ambience, clean, decorated like a 5 stars hotel!! -It took around 4 hours to complete the whole checkup including meeting the Doctor for the results (written report will get after 2 days) -If you speak Arabic, this is best place for you as they have translators and some staff knows some Arabic words. -open mini-buffet included if you take the medical checkup. Here are the only 2 negatives -This hospital prices are high compared to other hospitals in bangkok. But it worth it as you will feel at home!! Clean, helpful and always smiling and welcoming staff!! Well organized place. -It takes more waiting time at the x-ray and ultrasound, however, it is mentioned that the whole checkup takes around 4 to 6 hours. It took 4 hours. Five stars to the best hospital I have ever been!!!
As a tourist you don't know what to expect when you're out of Australia. I got some mystery illness and the way I got treated, at Sourasky Tel Aviv Medical centre was outstanding, the speed, the ease, the cheerfulness were great. I’d particularly like to mention Dr Rana Matal. If you end up there do yourself a favour and ask for her. She’s excellent.
The best treatment, high professionalism, humanity, attitude towards patients is here and only here. Cardio department, you guys a deep bow for all your work, intensive care unit - thank you all very much, you are Gods, you are doing miracles, your professionalism is beyond praise.
I had SMILE performed. Absolutely no down time, was out and about 20mins after procedure with 20/20 vision albeit a bit hazy. Haziness decreased over the next weeks. The procedure was painless and I found it quite interesting. Surgeon talks you through the procedure and was quite calming. It took approx 5mins per eye. The organization is very professional, I believe they have the latest equipment. Staff are excellent and helpful.
I received lasik back in March. My time at BGN was really great. The staff is super nice and super helpful. I can message at any time and get a response quickly. If you ever want to get your eyes fix I really recommend going to BGN in Busan.
Great clinic! Highly professional doctors. They helped me recover from a disease that is still very poorly treated in Russia. Cozy and comfortable rooms, my family could come to visit me at any time and stay almost all day. Friendly nurses, although I hardly speak German, have always tried to help and sympathize.
Servicepersonal plaudert lieber mit dem Portier als dass sie sich um die Gäste kümmern und sehen jede Bestellung als lästige Anfrage. Sorry wir wollten sie wirklich nicht bei ihren privaten Gesprächen stören. Wir dachten nur es wäre vielleicht nicht zuviel verlangt ein ordentliches Service zu bekommen wenn man sich auch noch dazu in einer Privatklinik befindet. Da holt man sich den Kaffee doch lieber an einem Automaten. Frustfrei.
Hello, I wanted to ask. We need kidney surgery. PLEASE TELL ME. WHO DID. IN THIS CLINIC. PLEASE TELL ME. WE REFUSED THE KIDNEYS. GET HEMODIALYSIS
Service at the highest level. The staff is very courteous, they always try to do everything possible to ensure that the client is satisfied. Special thanks to Ansar, the coordinator of this hospital.
Wir möchten uns auch auf diesem Wege nochmal ganz herzlich für die tolle Begleitung und Betreuung während der Geburt bedanken. Wir hatten mehrere Schichtwechsel, alle Hebammen haben sich toll gekümmert. Die Ärzte und das gesamte Fachpersonal haben einen liebevoll unterstützt. Vielen Dank! Können wir nur weiterempfehlen :)
If you're looking for cardiologist, you better look anywhere far from this hospital, had the worst experience ever.
Everyrhing is like a hospital supose to by... GREAT JOB.
Notaufnahme 12 Std.gewartet und durchweg unmotiviertes, unfreundliches Personal welches überhaupt keine Einfühlsamkeit zeigt. Der Job muss doch sowieso gemacht werden, warum nicht freundlich und mitfühlend? Auch dem Mitarbeiter würde es sicherlich dann am Ende des Tages besser gehen!Wo soll das bloß hinführen?
FAQ about Cataract Treatment
What is cataract?
Cataract is a clouding of the lens which causes the vision loss and even blindness. The disease can affect one or both eyes. Cataract is the most common eye disease in people over 40.
Cataract causes 51% of world blindness. Over 20 million people over the world have cataract.
Surgery is the ONLY option for cataract treatment.
Cataract surgery is the procedure of clouded lens removal and the further replacement with the artificial one.
What are the cataract types?
Subcapsular cataract |
Occurs at the back of the lens. People with diabetes are at the risk of this type cataract development due to taking the steroid drugs. |
Nuclear cataract |
Develops in the central part (nucleus) of the lens. Usually, seniors face this type of cataract. |
Cortical cataract |
Occurs in the lens cortex, the part that surrounds the nucleus. |
What are the signs and symptoms of cataract?
If you notice some of these symptoms, visit an ophthalmologist immediately:
- your vision has become cloudy and blurred
- light from the lamp or sun seem too bright
- colors around have become too dim
- your eyes are out of focus.
How to detect cataract?
If you suspect having the cataract, consult with an eye doctor. Only after the complete examination, an ophthalmologist can confirm a diagnosis.
Cataract diagnostics usually includes standard eye tests such as:
- visometry (the visual acuity test)
- perimetry (the visual fields examination)
- tonometry (the intraocular pressure measurement)
- ophthalmoscopy (the eye fundus test).
How is cataract treated?
The indication for cataract surgery is the vision loss, which affects the person’s quality of life and causes the discomfort.
Phacoemulsification (Phaco) is the most common method for cataract surgery. During the operation, an eye surgeon makes a small incision on the eye surface and removes the damaged lens pieces with the suction device.
Phaco is a minimally invasive surgery. It means that the healing process after the operation is fast.
When the lens is extracted, an ophthalmologist carries out the intraocular lens (IOL) replacement. Instead of the natural lens, a surgeon implants the artificial IOL.
The intraocular lens is made of the plastic, acrylic, or silicone. A doctor determines the type of IOLs material due to the patient’s individual characteristics. The artificial implant is inserted via the incision made during phacoemulsification.
98% is a success rate of cataract operations. After the IOL replacement, an ophthalmologist changes the existing glass or lens prescriptions.
The surgery lasts for 1 hour. A patient is under local anesthesia during the procedure. In the most medical centers, phaco is performed on the outpatient basis. Hospitalization is not required, and a patient returns home immediately.
How much is a cataract operation?
Laser cataract surgery cost depends on the number of factors:
