Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Turkey if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"Istanbul is widely regarded as having the best selection of medical specialists in Turkey. The city is home to some of the country's most renowned hospitals and clinics, such as Memorial Hospital, Ac?badem Hospital, and American Hospital. Ankara, the capital of Turkey, is also home to a number of excellent medical facilities, including Hacettepe University Hospital and Güven Hospital. Other cities with a good selection of medical specialists include Izmir, Bursa, and Antalya. Additionally, the coastal areas of Turkey, such as the Aegean and Mediterranean regions, are known for their excellent medical care," explained one expat living in Turkey.
"Before living in Istanbul I lived near Kemer with my going to Antalya for treatment. I have had two operations there and was well pleased with the medical services received," said another in Istanbul, Turkey.
