My experience with MetropolMED was very positive. I have been in contact with the team over the past few weeks, and last week, I completed my procedure in their clinic. The team is highly professional, well-organized, and, importantly, communicative about every step of the process. The package they offer covers all aspects, from consultation and procedures to extra care items, transportation, and accommodations, making travel and the overall experience smooth and hassle-free. Since I traveled from San Francisco to Istanbul, I found this convenience straightforward and reassuring. I worked with Guilia for all communications before arrival. She provided detailed explanations of each step involved. Upon my arrival, I was picked up from the airport and taken to the hotel, and on the day of the procedure, I was picked up again. The entire procedure took nearly seven hours, during which I received 3,500 grafts. The first hour involved general paperwork, a quick check-up, laser treatment, and then hours of donor extractions, preparation, and final transplanting. A translator, Hilal, was available to assist throughout, but the team was also able to communicate as needed. The day after my procedure, I had a follow-up at the clinic, where they performed a gentle wash and another quick check-up. The team was very professional; Dr. Karayazi was knowledgeable, communicative, and warm throughout, ensuring I understood all the details of aftercare while he is personally very involved in all steps of process during his hands-on harvesting/dissection. Moreover, the nurses in the clincs Sena, Aysenur, and Bora were highly involved and efficient, completing tasks with both patience and speed. I was especially impressed by the team’s level of coordination and their proactive use of time. Even after an incident where I accidentally bumped my head in the van, resulting in the loss of three grafts, the team quickly assembled to provide support and put things back in order. Currently, I am in the critical first stages of recovery, and I look forward to seeing my results in the coming weeks and months. From my research and comparisons with other clinics, I believe they did a fantastic job, and I’m excited for the outcome.
