What Our Patients Say

Avustralya bayrağı Grace W.

I saw Alika Health Group on Instagram. After doing some thorough research and seeing the quality and experience of the doctors, I decided to have gastric sleeve surgery here. It’s only been a week, but I haven’t had any pain, and I’ve already started walking and working at my desk job. Thank you all you’ve changed my life.

Kanada bayrağı Elizabeth J.

First of all, I would like to thank my doctor, coordinator Ali, the dietitians, the nurses, and the rest of the team for their support. They handled the entire process—from the airport to the hospital to the hotel—as well as my health insurance and everything else, and they provided constant support; we were always able to reach them whenever we had a question. I highly recommend them to everyone.

Birleşik Krallık bayrağı Alex S.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Alika in Istanbul. I heard about them from a friend of mine in London who had gastric balloon with them before. So I had gastric sleeve surgery and my companion had a full health checkup with them, the whole process was so smooth and easy. They handled all our hospital arrangements, hotel bookings, and transfers. They provided continuous support throughout the whole process and even gave us vitamins and protein supplements before we left. They truly helped me realize that the fear I’d been experiencing for years was unnecessary. Their team and professionalism truly deserve praise. Thank you so muc

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose Turkey for my medical treatments?
Turkey combines internationally accredited hospitals (many JCI-certified), highly experienced surgeons, and advanced medical technology with significantly lower costs compared to the UK, US, or Western Europe. At Alika Health Group, you receive world-class care at a fraction of the price — without compromising on safety, quality, or personalized attention.
What happens after I book my surgery?
Once your reservation is confirmed with a deposit, we create a dedicated private WhatsApp group with our coordinators, doctors, and nurses. You'll receive a detailed pre-surgery guide covering medical preparation, nutrition recommendations, travel tips, and packing suggestions. Our team stays in close contact throughout your preparation period.
How is payment handled?
A small deposit secures your surgery date. The remaining balance is typically paid upon arrival at our clinic in Istanbul, before your procedure. We accept multiple payment methods including cash (EUR, GBP, USD), credit card, and bank transfer. All pricing is transparent — the package price you're quoted is the final price, with no hidden fees.
How should I prepare before travelling to Turkey?
For bariatric procedures, you'll typically follow a pre-operative liver-reduction diet for 2–4 weeks. Your surgeon will provide a personalized checklist based on your procedure. You'll also receive a packing list, travel document reminders, and any medication guidance. Don't worry — your WhatsApp group is available 24/7 for any questions.
What happens when I arrive in Turkey?
Our VIP transfer team greets you at Istanbul Airport and takes you directly to the hospital. On the same day, you'll complete your pre-operative tests and have a face-to-face consultation with your surgeon. You'll stay in the hospital overnight in a comfortable private suite before your surgery the following day.
Will I receive support if I'm travelling alone?
Absolutely. Many of our international patients travel solo. You'll have a dedicated coordinator available 24/7, VIP transfers between the airport, hotel, and hospital, multilingual nursing staff, and constant communication through your private WhatsApp group. You are never alone during any step of the journey.
Can I combine my treatment with a vacation or sightseeing?
Yes, if your doctor approves and your recovery permits. We can arrange private Istanbul city tours, a sunset yacht cruise on the Bosphorus, or shopping experiences — tailored around your medical schedule. Let your coordinator know in advance so we can plan the best timing for you.
What is the hospital experience like post-surgery?
You'll recover in a private suite in a modern, internationally accredited hospital. Our nursing staff is with you around the clock, and your surgeon visits daily to check on your progress. Meals are tailored to your post-operative nutrition plan, and early mobilization (walking) is encouraged from day one for a faster recovery.
What support is provided at the hotel after surgery?
You'll be accommodated at a handpicked luxury hotel. Our coordinator checks in with you regularly, and a nurse can visit on request. If any concern arises, you can reach us instantly via WhatsApp and return to the hospital for a check-up at any time.
How is aftercare and follow-up provided?
Our care doesn't end when you fly home. You receive a 12-month follow-up program with scheduled online check-ins with your surgeon, ongoing nutrition support from our dietitian, and unlimited access to your patient WhatsApp group for any question. Supplements and guidance are provided before departure to ensure a smooth recovery.
Do you provide dietitian or fitness support?
Yes. All bariatric packages include one full year of dietitian support — personalized meal plans, progress monitoring, and ongoing guidance through each stage of your recovery (liquid, soft foods, transition to solids). Fitness recommendations are integrated into your plan once your surgeon clears you for physical activity.
