In 1997 Lokman Hekim Esnaf Hospital, which is located in Fethiye on the Mediterranean Coast of South West Turkey, began as a small Polyclinic created as a partnership between the Chamber of Artists and Artisans, the Chamber of Drivers and Automobiles and Lokman Hekim Inc. We have continued to provide services from our new premises since 2012.
On an area of 9000m2 our complex provides international service with highly trained and experienced staff combined with advanced medical technology. We offer a wide range of treatments from surgery to rehabilitation, from dermatology to psychiatry. Within the hospital there are 50 Consultants offering treatments within 22 areas of medicine. We have 6 beds in our general intensive care unit, 4 beds in our coronary intensive care unit, 5 beds in our neonatal intensive care unit and 93 patient beds giving a total bed capacity of 108.
Besides our highly trained Consultants we have roughly 420 front line nurses and medical staff. You will find patients from across Turkey and abroad who come for diagnosis and treatment. The staff of the Foreign Patient Department helps both inpatients and outpatients in any way needed including translating for doctors and nurses, especially at twice-daily ward rounds, and liaising with foreign insurance companies wherever policies allow a direct claim from the hospital. The staff of the department is provided by the hospital expressly to assist any non-Turkish patients whether they are on holiday or living locally. English, Russian, German, French, Dutch and Romanian are spoken. The department provides a full team and a 24 hour service.
Due to the architectural structure of our building, commitment to patient care and out continued performance we were accredited with the international TUVCERT ISO certificate.
Our specialist surgeons perform a full range of standard surgeries and diagnostics including endoscopy, laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery and bariatric (obesity) surgery. Our Bariatric clinic combines several different areas of medicine such as Dietician and Psychiatry. Patients can come directly to our Diet Polyclinic or can be referred by other branches. Our Specialist will establish your nutritional history, evaluate lab results, perform anthropometric measurements and a body analysis (measuring a patient’s body fat, fluid, muscle etc.) A personalized nutrition program is prepared and followed up with the patients. In our policlinic we provide nutritional support for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases and malnutrition for all ages from infants until adulthood.
Our esteemed Plastic Surgeon is not just successful with his cosmetic patients; reconstructive surgery is also a large part of his duties. We provide even the most basic of procedures such as injections and other non invasive cosmetic techniques, all the way up to larger plastic surgeries, tissue transplants and microsurgery.
Had my gallbladder removed by Baris Gurcu from meeting to operation and post op . He was excellent , efficient, professional and would highly recommend him. I have a hospital phobia and avoided a cholecystectomy due to my fear and lack of faith in English nhs I can say Dr Gurcu and Esnaf hospital he has given me it back. The hospital and nursing staff excellent and out English hospitals could learn from how professional quick and efficient this hospital is. I’m a nurse practitioner and worked for nhs for 20 plus years and I’m reluctant to say this but it’s true we could learn so much from this hospital, this team of surgeons and this would improve care in the U.K. Thank you Dr Gurcu finally pain free.
We have just returned from Fethiye where my husband had a nasty fall and was treated efficiently and quickly by the accident and emergency department. He had a nasty cut to his thumb and fractured cheekbone. He was pretty poorly and so he was admitted for tests including a CT scan. He had many tests and examinations before being released the next day. They nurses and doctors were very caring and professional, and we also had the services of a young English woman called Jess who was invaluable throughout for her translation skills.Thank you Esnaf!
I had a serious accident whilst on holiday in Turkey. The scans and x-rays required to assess the damage were done quickly and two surgeons used that information to choose the best course of treatment for me. I had numerous fractures and a broken femur that needed operating on. I was given a comfortable private room, well equipped and modern, then I underwent surgery for the broken femur at the earliest opportunity. After the operation, I was bed-bound for a week before I was able to leave the hospital. During my whole stay all the staff, doctors, nurses, translators, cleaners and caterers were all excellent. They were unfailingly cheerful and helpful and I felt well cared for. Simply put, the whole team did everything they could to make my stay as comfortable as possible and I'm enormously grateful to them all.
I was highly recommended to visit Esnaf Hospital by a friend who has had treatment there before.I made an appointment with Emel to see a vascular specialist who was brilliant.He started by taking blood samples, an ECG and an ultrasound.From the results of the tests, he recommended that I have an angiography, which I had done.He also put me on some new medication.The cost of my treatment was also very competitive.I was so impressed with the level of service from all the staff there and the cleanliness of the hospital, that I now have regular checkups every 6 months there.I therefore highly recommend anyone to visit Esnaf Hospital.
I will highly recommend this hospital to everyone .After my long investigations I choose Specialist Dr Ahmet Kemal Ertuna for my forth hernia operation. My last operation was on Australia Sydney’s one of the best private hospital, Operation took 11 hours and with complications I was nearly not survive from this operation. Cost of operation was $76,000 from my insurance plus $5,000 from my pocket.Mr. Ertuna fix my existing hernia problems and another hernia in 5 hours, he done very good operation with his extensive 42 years experience. I am thankful to him and all hospital staff.
Dear Mr. Ünsal, we are appreciated for your valuable words. We will let our doctor know about your review. We would like to thank you again. We are always beside you...
It is now 3 weeks since I had upper eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) to remove excess skin. If I am completely honest the Esnaf wasn't my first choice to have this procedure done, however since my initial contact to Bora to his follow up email 3 weeks after my actual operation I am completed happy with my final choice. Quality service throughout.The Esnaf hospital was wonderfully clean, very efficient with super staff, in particular, Batuhan Kortan who escorted and explained everything to me throughout my stay. As I said before I am 3 weeks post-op now from upper eyelid surgery carried out by Dr Riza Inan Kocaarslan and the results are already fantastic. Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!Dr Kocaarslan fully explained the procedure to me, what to expect re healing times, answered all questions fully with patience and professionalism. He put me at ease, had the assurance of somebody who knows their stuff and who will give me the results I desired.As expected, I did have a lot of bruising and swelling around my eyes as I had been in a fight, the pain was minimal throughout, just felt tired for the rest of that day and a tightness above the eyes for about two weeks. I felt well enough to fly back to UK the following day after surgery (lots of looks from fellow travellers though). Today, I was questioned about my age after asking for a discounted rate for OAPs. "A result."Although not the cheapest option the professionalism and results I experienced from the Private Lokman Hekim ESNAF Hospital and their staff was truly wonderful. I can wholeheartedly recommend this hospital.
We are appreciated for your comments and honesty. All reviewes are very important for us. In this regard, we try to improve ourself in the basis of services. We would like to see you again...
I underwent upper eyelid surgery. I initially made contact via WhatsApp after being recommended to the hospital by a former client. I had long conversations with Bora about the procedure, in English and arranged an appointment. On the day of the appointment, I met Batu who became my chaperone and interpreter. The hospital itself was modern and very clean. I met with Rita Inan Kocaarslan the surgeon and following the consultation I booked my operation. As I have many medical issues the Dr insisted on additional tests along with the usual blood, ECG and chest X-ray. Additionally, I had to see an internal medicine consultant, who went through my medical history and medication and after ordering additional blood tests gave the go-ahead. As a precaution, I was told that they would keep me in overnight just to keep an eye on me. On the day of the operation, I was again met by Batu and I was admitted and shown to my room which had TV, fridge comfortable sofa and en-suite bathroom. The operation all went very smoothly and afterwards I received excellent care from the nursing staff. Even though I couldn’t eat they provided food and drink for my daughter. For the additional tests and Dr consultation, I was charged £113.76 extra but was not charged for my overnight stay and care which I think this is very reasonable. On discharge, I was given multiple prescription items to help with my recovery. After discharge, I was given an appointment to see the surgeon to be followed up and given my fit to fly certificate. I didn’t have any problems and it all went to plan and I flew home. I had my stitches removed at my GP's and the nurse commented on the good job that the surgeon had done. My recovery is continuing and I have had contact with Bora via WhatsApp since I returned and he checks how I am progressing. I highly recommend this hospital/surgeon and the whole team and if I had any further procedures I would undoubtedly use them again.
Dear Mrs. Carole, we are appreciated for you valuable words. We are trying to do our best. In this regards, your review is so important to ensure for providing quality service for our patients. We would like to thank you again. We are always beside you...
We have just returned to the UK after my husband experiencing a nasty fall. We went to the accident and emergency department where they treated his badly wounded thumb, and trauma to the side of his face. He was quite poorly as he is elderly and they decided to admit him for observation. They carried out many tests including CT scans and reassured us that he would recover. We consequently had to go every other day for dressing changes to his thumb, and were treated throughout by a quick professional team of doctors and nurses.We also had the service of a young English woman called Jess who translated everything the doctors told us.All in all, it was horrible experience made better by their professionalism. I would recommend anyone who has the misfortune to need hospital treatment, to use them if you are in Fethiye or surrounding areas. Well done Esnaf!
After feeling so unwell for many years at 55 felt I could go on for much longer and went to my doctor so many in times after blood tests etc said there was nothing of concern. I had fatigue felt nausea dizzy and just rubbish the whole time. I was recommended to have full health in Turkey at the Esnafe! Well for £600 they checked every system in my body. Discovered I had gallstones. Checked my symptoms which could very easily be gallstones. I decided to have my gallbladder removed in the Esnafe in Turkey who got to the bottom of my problem. From start to finish I felt safe and totally looked after. It’s been 3 weeks feel like a new woman! Thank the Esnafe, big shout for Emel and her team. You have given me my life back. Now I have a clean bill of health peace of mind!
I have just had Cataract surgery at the Esnaf Hospital and I want to express my thanks to Doctor Nazir E Demirci and her team for looking after me and helping me to get through the procedure. Doctor Demirci was kind and understanding.I also want to mention the translator Emre Can. He was so helpful and reassuring and made me feel relaxed and positive about the procedure. He checked with me that I was happy throughout the process. I think he is an excellent representative of how staff should present themselves within the Esnaf Hospital.I would recommend him to anyone who needs medical treatment or adviseHis communication skills are first-class.The Esnaf hospital is very clean and a comfortable place to be.
