Anytime again! Excellent service, excellent care! Absolutely friendly team, amazing clinic, very clean! Outstanding support during the surgery and examinations in the same languages. The clinic staff and medical team speak both German and English. The time during the surgery just flies by. Very comfortable treatment, never painful, and three hours after the surgery, I could already see everything again—slightly blurry at first, but that cleared up completely within 20 hours. At the follow-up examination, 20 hours after the surgery, 150% vision! A huge thank you to the Health Travels team for this amazing support and coordination! Many heartfelt thanks also to the most competent medical and clinic team for the outstanding operation!

I would like to thank the entire Health Travels team for the excellent organization and consultation beforehand. I am very satisfied with the entire process and the results of the ReLEx SMILE procedure. I also loved the proximity to the Capitol Shopping Center—it was just a few minutes' walk from the Mercure Hotel. Best regards, Seyhan

I had my eyes laser-treated in Istanbul at the end of January. In advance, I promptly received all the necessary information from Mr. Mathias Weber. During the preliminary examination, the laser procedure itself, and the follow-up check, I felt well taken care of at all times. I can highly recommend laser treatment in Istanbul and the organization through Health Travels.

It has now been two weeks since my laser eye surgery, and everything is perfect. The organization through Health Travels couldn’t have been better—very professional handling. The Bati Göz Clinic matched the descriptions, and the treatment was carried out with great care. The treating doctor, Dr. Ün, is highly skilled and provided excellent advice; I never felt pressured into making a decision at any point. Always in the best hands. Many thanks to the entire team and my absolute recommendation!

Highly recommended! Everything was perfectly organized and went more than smoothly. I was picked up from the new airport in Istanbul and taken directly to the hotel. The Mercure Hotel in Altunizade/Istanbul was very clean and relatively modern. My two companions and I received a very spacious room with a beautiful view. On the day of the operation, a friendly gentleman picked me up from the hotel and took me to the clinic. There, Meyüsser welcomed me and explained everything to me in German. The doctor, Dr. Önder, speaks fluent English and was incredibly kind. The surgery only took 10 minutes, and after about 4 hours, I barely felt anything anymore. I even had the entire late afternoon and evening free to explore Istanbul—an absolutely breathtaking city! It was more than worth it! My vision was already at 100% the next day. This was the best decision I could have made. Mr. Weber was always available and responded immediately whenever I had questions. Overall, I can say I am more than satisfied and have already recommended Health Travels and Batigöz to my friends and family.

Good evening, my dear friends, I’d like to share my Istanbul trip with you. The main reason for the journey was to undergo laser eye surgery. We landed in Istanbul on Thursday evening, and the transfer organized by #HealthTravels was already included in the cost of the eye surgery. We were taken to the Mercure Hotel (two nights are included in the package). The next morning, we were picked up at 8:30 AM and driven to the Bati Göz Eye Clinic. The first impression was excellent—everything was clean and very modern. In the morning, all the preliminary examinations were conducted, and the doctor recommended the ReLEx SMILE 3D method because my cornea was too thin for LASIK. ReLEx SMILE is more expensive because it is the newest method and does not involve creating a flap. The surgery started at 2:30 PM. My boyfriend also underwent surgery, but he had the Wavefront Femto-LASIK. I was the first to go in. Along with us, other German patients were also getting treated. The surgery itself took a total of 10 minutes. I had to fixate on a green point, which disappeared within seconds. However, Meysun, our kind interpreter, calmly explained the entire process during the surgery, which was very reassuring. The removal of the lenticules was the most uncomfortable part of the procedure. Although my eyes were numbed with drops, I still found it very unpleasant. After the surgery, I was given dark protective glasses that I had to wear all day. Initially, I could barely open my eyes after the surgery. My boyfriend and all the other patients felt the same way. We were taken directly back to the hotel. Since both of us had undergone surgery, it was quite difficult for us to apply the antibiotic eye drops because we couldn’t keep our eyes open. After sleeping for four hours, we felt better and went out to grab something to eat. We didn’t have any more pain by then. The next morning, we were picked up at 9 AM and taken to the clinic for a check-up. Both of us achieved 100% vision—we were so happy. After the check-up, we changed our hotel and began our sightseeing trip around the city.

I am very satisfied with both the process and the results of the ReLEx SMILE surgery. Already the next day, I had excellent vision. Two days later, I also had two dental crowns done at the MedicaDent dental clinic through Health Travels. I am equally satisfied with the dental treatment. Many thanks to Mr. Weber, who was always available to answer any questions.

Dear Mr. Weber, We have returned to Germany, and I would like to share a brief feedback on our "health journey." Everything went precisely and perfectly—every pickup and appointment was punctual and carried out with perfection. Once again, many thanks to you and your team on-site in Istanbul. It truly was a "worry-free package," with everything thoughtfully taken care of. On the day of the surgery, we opted for room service in the evening, as my eyes were watering quite a lot, and I didn’t want to strain them unnecessarily. Even this was handled quickly and without any issues, with everything delivered to the room promptly—and the food tasted excellent. A special mention also goes to the transport service, which was always punctual and ensured we traveled safely from one place to another. Even immediately after the surgery, I could see relatively well—though still very blurry, the good results were already apparent. However, my expectations were exceeded the next morning. It is truly indescribable and provides a completely new quality of life to be able to see clearly without glasses or contact lenses. In the meantime, I have shared my experience with many friends and acquaintances and recommended that they consider laser eye surgery in Istanbul. Once again, thank you to you and your team, and I wish you all the best for the future. Best regards, [Your Name]
