Not sure where to start! 10 out of 10. Badge Clinic is the best thing that ever happened to me. Surgeons are professional and can’t say thank you enough to the nurses at the hospital and the hotel. They were caring and helpful. My coordinator Miray was explaining everything in detail so I was aware of everything. She still messaging me after I was back in UK. 🥰 Can’t thank this team enough! Thank you ❤️🙏
L Equipe est genial, les soins sont parfait je le recommended fortement et le docteur Meta est tres professionel et realist il penst aux patients et les propose ce qui est mieux adapter pour eux.
Je recommande cette clinique à 100 % tout était très propre et le personnel a vraiment été présent du début jusqu’à la fin. Une prise en charge dès la sortie de l’aéroport on ne se sent jamais seul même si on vient seul sur place des traducteurs sont là pour vous aider et des infirmiers sont là pour s’occuper de vous. Que vous soyez à l’hôtel ou à l’hôpital personne ne vous laisse sans réponse vous êtes vraiment accompagné du début jusqu’à la fin. Je suis très satisfaite de mon expérience chez badge clinique chaque petit désaccord a été réglé quasiment instantanément par ma coordinatrice Nisrine car ils ont une très bonne communication. Pour résumer je vous dirai que vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés vous ne serez pas déçu ni de votre prise en charge ni du résultat de votre opération.
I highly recommend Badge Clinic. From the beginning to the end they were really supportive! All nurses and doctors above and beyond professional. Me and my partner were treated like in 5 star hotel. I got much more than I expected. So happy to be here for my breast uplifting and enlargement. I wish to give them 10 out of 5 if I could. Really nice experience and I felt really safe. I just want to say thank you to all personel from a badge clinic!!
I wholeheartedly endorse this dental clinic for their exceptional patient-centered approach. Their quality of care is unmatched, accompanied by thorough explanations throughout the treatment process. They attentively address concerns, offer invaluable advice, and extend continuous support. Thanks to this clinic, my dental concerns are resolved, bringing immense happiness. I enthusiastically encourage everyone to experience their outstanding services!
Felt welcomed as soon as I arrived.
I had Dr mete who was absolutely lovely.
All the nurses have been great with me here! Clinic is so clean. Overall experience has been great.
Very welcoming people. I was stressed that the doctor had to take my canine out and is visible so they came with the option with a temporary tooth until next appointment for the implant. Also the bridge procedure was done with precision. Honestly they know what they are doing and you feel in good hands. Highly recommend Badge Health.
I had a really positive experience from start to finish. Everything was so easy to book, and the whole process was organised really well. As soon as I arrived in Turkey, I was picked up from the airport and taken straight to the hotel, …
I did the hair transplant. Everyone was super cool and nice. My Coordinator Nisrine walked me through all of the steps so I knew what to expect through the procedure and for my after care. The whole process they make sure you are comfortable and accommodated. The hotel they put you up at is really nice, the Free Breakfast Buffet is the BOMB and so is the room service menu. I had a nice stay and my procedure was as painless as possible. 10/10 Would recommend to a friend!
From the initial enquiry, through booking, surgery and post operative care badge were extremely helpful and reassuring.
The hospital was clean and comfortable and were accommodating to both myself and my companion.
Dr Mete listened to what I wanted whilst offering his professional opinion and giving me the results that I was looking for.
My coordinator Şevval were always on hand regardless of the time of day, to answer any queries, concerns or basic questions I had. No query was to pig or to small.
My hotel nurse Beyza was extremely friendly and so helpful in my aftercare. Again no query or request was to big or to small. She checked on me a few times a day each day and was always available through the WhatsApp group. She made my after care stay so much more comfortable.
Even after I have returned home they are still in contact to offer support and ensure everything is going well.
I would definitely recommend badge clinic for anyone seeking cosmetic surgery. I myself was recommended badge and I am so glad I chose them. My procedures were a fraction of the cost of the UK but this did not take away from the level of care and support that was provided

I had my rhinoplasty at this clinic and had a very positive experience. The staff were professional and supportive from the consultation through recovery, and everything was well organized. The surgeon explained the procedure clearly, and I felt comfortable and well cared for throughout. I’m happy with my results and would recommend this clinic to anyone considering rhinoplasty.
I was a patient at Badge Clinic. I was impressed by how well they organized to pick me up from the airport, then take me to the hotel and get me back on time. They were very well organized, the staff is pleasant, but the organizers were in touch with me to be sure that everything is done professionally and on time; I also have friends who were patients at this clinic and were satisfied. Thank you Badge clinic so we will definitely see you soon.
Everything was amazing, the place is facing galata tower so we had the best view , and the san sebastian was very delicious, the staff was also amazing especially Ayman.
Just had Gastric Sleeve Surgery and a Gastric Band removal surgery completed on 24/05/24 by Prof. Dr. Cengis Eris at the hospital in Istanbul. From start to finish the entire Badge team have been nothing short of amazing. From pick up at the airport to your return back home they have been in contact and making sure I fully understand what is happening and what to expect. My Co-ordinator Nesrine has been amazing. I traveled by myself and was worried this was going to be too much but the team at Badge really take fantastic care of you. If you are debating if this is right thing to do or if this is the right place to have your surgery I can’t stress enough just how amazing and resasurred the team has made me feel. Although I’m only really a couple of days out and will see the results over the next coming weeks and months. I am relatively pain free and able to manage my normal activities which surprised me but shows just great they are at what they do.

Post surgery of 4 days, fly back room night. I’ve had 360 lipo, tummy tuck and a do repair. Nurse all so kind and Google translate helps. Walking as advised has helped a lot increase mobility and reduce swelling or bloating. Defiantly take comfy button up the front over size item, travel light and book special assistance for the airport to help get through the massive airport.
Results look great already and super bloated and need to get lymph massages but extremely happy so far.
Hotel staff, clinic & hospital staff are all friendly. Surgeon lovely and nice. Just drink plenty, stay comfy and walking is key!!
I recently underwent a hair transplant at Badge Clinic in Istanbul, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure follow-up, the team at Badge Clinic demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.
The clinic itself is state-of-the-art, with modern facilities that made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt fully prepared before the procedure. The medical team, led by highly skilled surgeons, was extremely meticulous, ensuring everything was done with precision and care.
The procedure itself was smooth and relatively painless, and I was impressed with the thoroughness and attention to detail. The team ensured I understood the post-op care instructions, and the follow-up support has been fantastic. I am excited about the final outcome!
Traveling to Istanbul for this procedure was definitely worth it also VIP transportation between airport, 5 start to clinic and Badge Clinic provides an excellent combination of affordability and world-class expertise. For anyone considering a hair transplant, I would highly recommend Badge Clinic. They exceeded my expectations in every way.

Your dream appearance is closer than ever — guided by professionals and delivered through four simple, trusted steps.
Sleeve Gastrectomy, also known as gastric sleeve surgery, is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure. During the surgery, approximately 75–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow, sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduces the patient’s food capacity and decreases hunger by lowering the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin.
The procedure is ideal for patients who:
Want to improve obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea
Sleeve Gastrectomy is performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia:
Pre-Operative Assessment: Patients undergo comprehensive evaluations, including blood tests, imaging, and medical history analysis.
Laparoscopic Surgery: Small incisions are made, and surgical instruments are inserted to remove a large portion of the stomach.
Creation of Sleeve Stomach: The remaining stomach is shaped into a narrow tube, reducing food capacity and promoting early satiety.
Recovery and Follow-Up: Patients receive instructions on diet, physical activity, and post-operative care to maximize results.
The surgery typically takes 1–2 hours, and most patients stay in the hospital for 2–3 days.
Recovery is gradual and requires adherence to dietary and lifestyle changes:
First week: Light diet, gradual return to daily activities
2–4 weeks: Normal activities resume, with continued dietary adjustments
1–3 months: Rapid weight loss begins
6–12 months: Significant and measurable weight reduction
Badge Health provides personalized follow-up care, nutrition counseling, and medical supervision to ensure optimal outcomes.
Sleeve Gastrectomy is a safe and well-established procedure, but as with any surgery, minor risks may include infection, bleeding, or temporary digestive issues. Selecting an experienced team like Badge Health ensures safety, minimizes complications, and provides high success rates.
