- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

Redefining Experience
Navigating the world of international medical care can be a daunting experience, particularly when considering complex, high-stakes surgeries abroad. Like many, I faced the familiar whirlwind of Google reviews, uncertainty, and the critical decision of entrusting my health and well-being to a physician in a foreign system. That said, my experience with Dr. Gurkan and his team has fundamentally redefined my expectations of patient care, surgical excellence, and the overseas healthcare journey.
First and foremost, Dr. Gurkan is a true visionary—a master of his craft whose talent, attention to detail, and patient-centered approach are unmatched. He has the unique ability to align his vast expertise with a patient’s vision while maintaining a focus on realistic expectations and measurable results. This approach is not only evident in his work but also shines through in his interviews and public discussions, where he emphasizes the importance of seeing surgery through the patient’s eyes.
From the first consultation to post-operative care, Dr. Gurkan exceeded every expectation I had, but what truly sets him apart is his ability to curate an exceptional clinical and administrative team. While Dr. Gurkan’s surgical expertise deserves all the accolades it receives, the seamless experience he provides is largely due to the structure and execution of his team’s efforts, which ensure patient needs are met with precision, empathy, and professionalism.
The Team
Dr. Gurkan’s clinical team operates with the same vision and purpose as the doctor himself, providing a cohesive, reassuring, and world-class standard of care. Every touchpoint—from the hospital staff to the nursing team—is aligned with his mission to provide patients with not only the best outcomes but also the best overall experience.
Equally impressive is his administrative team. In the midst of uncertainty, particularly as an overseas patient navigating the complexities of the Turkish healthcare system, Dr. Gurkan’s coordinators are the unsung heroes of the process. My coordinator, Sevde, was a pillar of support—attentive, proactive, and consistently available to guide me through every step. From logistics to personal reassurance, her role was invaluable in turning a potentially overwhelming process into an experience of trust and care.
The Facilities and Standards
Dr. Gurkan’s hospital affiliations and clinical standards provide an added layer of confidence. In a system where variability can be a concern, the doctor’s high expectations for patient treatment extend to the facilities and personnel he works with. This level of oversight guarantees a consistent and predictable standard of care, which is crucial for patients traveling from abroad.
Closing Thoughts
Dr. Gurkan is more than a surgeon—he is a leader, a visionary, and someone who truly understands the patient-physician relationship. In a field where trust can often feel transactional, Dr. Gurkan has restored my faith in what that relationship should be. He has set the bar exceptionally high, not only for his craft but for how patients should be treated holistically.
Thank you, Dr. Gurkan, for your care, expertise, and vision. Thank you to your incredible team for rallying around me and ensuring I felt supported throughout this process. To anyone considering surgery abroad, I cannot recommend Dr. Gurkan highly enough—he has redefined excellence in every way.
I will be back, and I will do so with full trust and confidence.
