I had an exceptional experience with Turquie-santé for my eye surgery in Turkey. They offer very competitive prices, and I would especially like to thank Nassim. His professionalism and availability were remarkable, and he brilliantly corrected the mistakes of his predecessor. I highly recommend their services!

A special thank you to Emily, who demonstrated great efficiency, genuine understanding, and immense availability. She listened attentively and supported us from beginning to end; she is a truly lovely woman. Don't hesitate to trust them; you will be in good hands!

Go there with your eyes closed, stop listening to what they tell you in France. The service is so impeccable, not a single misstep, from the airport pick-up upon arrival in Turkey to the return to the airport after the operation. The medical staff is very kind, the surgeon is extremely competent, a brand new 4-star hotel with a Turkish breakfast. A 24-hour translator, a rate two and a half times cheaper than in France... I'll stop there, no need to go any further.

I went there for the medical checkup and I would say everyone there was very nice, but even with a translator there is still a bit of an English barrier. I feel like I had a lot of questions that I wanted to ask the doctor but a little overwhelmed to ask with everything. ANOTHER THING IS IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS IN ENGLISH, it has been 2 weeks and counting.
