I only have good things to say about clinic wise! The staff who work there are literal angels. My coordinator was Lina and my assistant in Istanbul was Omer. Between the two of them they made my whole experience wonderful. I can't thank them enough. I traveled alone so their constant support meant a lot and made me feel safe the whole way through.
When I first contacted clinic wise to see of they might be a good fit for me I was connected to Lina. She answered my questions and concerns over a couple of months (I was talking to several clinics). I finally decided that I had the best gut feeling with clinic wise. Lina set up a zoom meeting with Dr Hakan and after that call I decided to go ahead with the surgery.
Lina helped find dates that suited me and Dr. Hakan's calendar. I first paid a deposit and then the rest of the amount before the surgery. I paid via bank transfer and so there was a minor fee but nothing big.
In the months leading up to me flying to Istanbul Lina would periodically check in and see how I was doing. She was always ready to answer any questions I had.
When I arrived in Istanbul I was driven to the hospital and met by Omer. There they took my blood for testing and did an ECG. Omer like Lina was just the best. As I was traveling alone he was my "person" through all of this and I can honestly say that I didn't regret coming alone because I knew he was there looking out for me. He would translate for me when hospital staff etc didn't speak English. Other than that he was constantly checking in with me to make sure I felt comfortable. Both in person and over WhatsApp.
I spent two nights and three days at the hospital. I had my own private room which was very lush for a hospital. The nurses, cleaners and orderlies were all so so so friendly. A lot of them didn't speak English but we made it work. They were so sweet to me and were constantly checking my vitals etc. I felt very attended to and safe.
Dr Hakan and his nurse were both just great! Each time I saw him he took time to answer all of my questions and concerns. He was there when I woke up to let me know that everything went fine. I saw him again for two checkups in the days following. I have only good things to say about him and his team.
In general I would advise anyone considering plastic surgery to be very specific about the look you want to achieve. It might be awkward to talk about different insecurities etc. but the more specific you are the better your surgeon can help you. Dr Hakan was very attentive when it came to understanding what areas I was most insecure about.
After three days at the hospital I was taken to my hotel by Omer. He checked in for me and helped me get my things to my room. I stayed at Antwell Suites. The room was lovely. If you want to avoid having to go to the restaurant I would advise paying a cash deposit at the reception which can then be used to order room service. Any money not spent is returned at check out. I ate at the restaurant every morning. The breakfast buffet was included and was delicious. So many things to choose from.
For lunch and dinner I either ate at the restaurant or ordered delivery through the app Getir. If you order from Getir it gets delivered to the lobby and you have to go and get it. This was absolutely fine for me as I was quite mobile after my surgery but something to keep in mind if you're not.
While at the hotel one of the clinic wise nurses came to check on me twice a day and to empty my drains. She also helped me have my first shower. I sadly can't remember her name but she was so kind and lovely. She had an app that we could speak to and it would translate for us. So even though she didn't speak English it was smooth sailing.
I generally didn't find the language barrier to be a problem. I instinctually trusted all the nurses and staff because they made me feel safe and at ease. I will say that I'm generally not a very anxious person when it comes to hospital, pain, needles etc. and so it didn't bother me that a lot of the hospital staff didn't speak English very well. If you are it might be nice to bring someone with you. Otherwise Omer was literally only a phone call away the whole time.
On my last night at the hotel Lina came by to meet me. It was so lovely of her to do and great to finally give the person I've been texting with for months a hug. She had a gift box for me full of Turkish goodies which I was so touched by.
If you're considering getting plastic surgery done in Turkey I can't recommend Clinic wise enough. They made the whole experience feel personal. I didn't feel I was just another customer. They really took care of me and I'm truly grateful to all the people I met whilst in Istanbul.
My results are yet to be truly gleaned as I'm only 3 weeks post op. But so far I'm really really pleased. I can't wait to see what it'll look like in 6 months once all the swelling goes down. I will try to remember to update this review and possibly upload some photos.
Thank you everyone at clinic wise!!!!!
