Olympia Health Group

Fantastic! I chose this clinic above others because of their communication was clear and prompt right from the first enquiry and it continues through to this day (8 days post-op). The facilities and care given to me during my stay in the hospital was second to none. Everything was arranged for me from the time I landed in Istanbul to the time I left to fly home - couldn't ask for anything more! Looking forward to the continued support as I recover and go through my journey to a healthier and happier version of me! Thank you very much to all at Olympia Health Group.

My experience with the Olympia Health Group was amazing!! Excellent treatment, they have attended every single one of my needs and questions (which is saying a lot ‘cause I ask too many questions). I got a Gastric Sleeve surgery about a month ago and so far I’m loving the results. The took great care of me and my companion and I couldn’t be more happy. Thank you so much Almira and Leila for your help!

I had gastric sleeve surgery in October 2024. The contact with Olympia was great, with fast and efficient replies regardless of the time of day. The only confusion was when I was meant to start fasting as the pre-op information said from midnight before surgery but no one seemed to be able to explain if it was midnight Turkish time or English time. I was told I wasn’t allowed to drink water during this fasting period but when I arrived at the hospital and I had documents to read and sign it stated that I was water up to 2 hours before surgery. When I landed at Istanbul airport there were some issues with the transfer the man at the airport told me I wasn’t on the list and this took some time to sort. Arrived at the hospital quickly and everything was efficient with paperwork and pre-op tests. All the staff were great, I was very pleased when the doctor said I would be going in first. When out of surgery and returned to the room, the doctor and nurse were there but nothing was mentioned to my mum (who came with me) if the surgery was successful or not etc. That evening I was in a lot of pain, my mum asked the nurses for painkillers I was told I couldn’t have any until 8. Still suffering from the anaesthetic I was in and out of sleeping, about 9 I was begging for pain relief. My mum asked the nurse and she said she would be in shortly but no one came for 30 minutes, as my pain was getting worse my mum went again to find someone and the nurse said yes we are dealing with someone else and will be with you but my mum saw the nurse was playing a game on her phone, I didn’t get my pain killers until 10.30 pm. The nurses on Tuesday were on top of my painkillers and I suffered from high blood pressure which was monitored closely. The doctor visited again but I was still struggling to stay awake from the anaesthetic, he asked me why I looked like I was in pain and explained I was very tired and fell back to sleep but again nothing was said to my mum about my surgery. I never saw the doctor again so I assume my surgery went well. There was constantly a lot of nurses in the room at once talking to one another but no one introduced themself or why they were in the room. I met the dietitian on Wednesday which was all good. On Thursday the day of discharge, I again had high blood pressure which was monitored in the afternoon but when nurses swapped shifts my blood pressure wasn’t checked again. Thankfully I think I only had high blood pressure from the stress. I was very nervous about leaving the hospital for obvious reasons but also because I know Turkish taxi drivers can drive very chaotic but this driver was amazing no bumps whatsoever. The transfer to the hotel and to the airport I couldn’t fault. The majority of the staff during my stay were accommodating, including the cleaners and the people who brought the food around every time I saw them or they came into my room, they spoke to me regardless of the language barrier and always smiled.

The treatment was outstanding, the hospital was amazing, and we had someone to support with English. Food was not great for the person with you but your husband would go out into the town to eat. Aftercare is brilliant, when ever you contact you get an answer straight away. In 5 weeks I have lost 37lbs and I feel amazing x

I recently had my gastric sleeve surgery with Olympia Group, and the experience was truly exceptional. From start to finish, everything was handled with utmost care and professionalism. The transport arrangements were seamless, making my journey stress-free. The meals provided were nutritious and delicious, which was a pleasant surprise.

A special mention goes to the team for accommodating my mom with me during my stay. It made a world of difference to have her by my side, and the staff ensured she was comfortable throughout. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Highly recommend Olympia Group for their outstanding service and care!

We've just come back after the gastric sleeve operation that Dr Cem Arslan performed on our daughter. We are extremely happy with Olympia support, especially Leila and Almira. They were with us each step of the way. The staff at the hospital were very kind and helpful (almost none of them speak English but Almira was awesome, almost 24/7 for us).

The hotel where they sent us after the surgery, had very comfy beds, where we really rested well. There is a wonderful walking area right in front where we could get around and speed up the recovery (walking works wonders after the operation).

2 days after the surgery, our daughter was able to walk normally and survive an 11-hour trip by car. The doctor is really incredible, such a quick recovery that it's almost surreal.

Highly recommend Olympia and Dr Arslan! Millions of thanks to Leila and especially Almira who has gone through the same surgery herself and her practical tips were priceless!!!

Positive Aspects:

- The team is kind and always supportive. The doctors and nurses I met were nice and sweet.
- Communication about the surgery, doctors, and what to expect was perfect.

Areas for Improvement:

- I had to pay extra for a sleeve procedure before my bypass surgery. Although I didn’t mind, the reason was unclear. Despite this, the team was nice.
- The hospital and hotel are in a location where stores are at least a 15-minute walk away, which can be inconvenient, especially after surgery or if you're alone.
- The hospital felt a bit old, and if you have someone accompanying you, they might find the lack of nearby amenities challenging. Additionally, the food options were limited.
- Hotel communication was poor. Checkout time was at 12, but my driver was scheduled to pick me up at 4:00. I had to pay extra to stay comfortably, which could have been arranged during the initial booking.
- I had to change my room on the first night due to an AC issue. The internet kept disconnecting, there were only Turkish TV channels, and the room service menu scanner never worked. I wanted chicken soup, but couldn’t get it. On the positive side, the view from the hotel was great, the bed was comfortable, and the hair salon was excellent.

Overall, I wouldn’t say the experience was bad, but addressing these small issues could greatly enhance the overall experience

Hallo zusammen!
Ich bin Diana und habe mich vor 4 Monaten in der Olympia Clinic einer Schlauchmagenoperation unterziehen lassen. Letzte Woche hatte meine Tochter in Olympia eine Brustvergrößerung und eine Bauchstraffung. Wie erwartet hat alles perfekt funktioniert. Alle in dieser Klinik sind sehr professionell und freundlich. Danke Olympia!

My wife recently underwent gastric sleeve surgery at this clinic, and we are extremely satisfied with the experience. The entire process went smoothly without any complications. and her recovery was swift – we were able to return home after just 5 days. We received everything that was promised to us. A special thanks to the warm and caring coordinator who guided us through every step of the journey.

It has been a month since the surgery, and the results have exceeded our expectations. We are grateful to everyone at the clinic for their excellent work and professionalism. We highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate care.

Vielen Dank, dass Sie mir ein neues Leben geschenkt haben. Ich bin sehr froh, dass ich mich für Sie entschieden habe. Dank Ihnen bin ich gesund und selbstbewusst.
Mein Arzt, das Krankenhauspersonal, die Krankenschwestern, der Übersetzer, das Hotel und die Autos waren großartig.
Ich bin froh, dass ich mich für Sie entschieden habe und empfehle Sie jedem mit Zuversicht weiter.

Ich bin froh, dass ich Olympia kennengelernt habe.
Leila beantwortete vor der Operation jede Frage, ermutigte mich und gab mir ein sicheres Gefühl. Alles war sehr gut geplant. Mein Arzt war sehr professionell, ich hatte keine Schmerzen.
Sie haben nie aufgehört, mich zu kontaktieren, nachdem ich nach Hause zurückgekehrt war, die Ernährungsberaterin und Leila folgen mir immer noch.
Ich kann es jedem empfehlen, danke Olympia

Thanks to Olympia Health Group, I had surgery 28 days ago. Everything was great from the first time I met them. Leila helped me with everything, patiently answered all my questions. She quickly sent me my flight tickets and necessary documents.

When I came to Istanbul, a private car met me at the airport, the team at the hospital and Dr. Cem Arslan are wonderful people. I had surgery the next day, my doctor was very attentive. When I left the hospital, I was taken to the hotel again by private car.

The hotel and hospital were both clean and luxurious. They gave me my medicines, vitamins and proteins, along with small gifts.

If you want to feel safe and happy, you should definitely contact the Olympia team, they do a great job.
