Dr. Ibrahim KarataşReviews of ibrahimkaratas.com

This is a big journey and one I researched for about 4 years. I followed dr karitas right back to the start of his career and never heard a bad word. He is a very calming and lovely man and I can’t thank him enough. He had a team of staff who are all engaging and approachable. The hospital was fantastic and the staff attentive. Currently in the hotel resting. Thanks Dr Karitas and team!

What a brilliant doctor, very professional and also very knowledgeable, my Son was made to feel at ease as he was very nervous, Dr. Karataş goes above and beyond for his patients and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone requiring his services, he is a very skilled surgeon

My experience having surgery with op dr ibrahim karatas has been an amazing experience, he is a pure gentleman and cares for his patients, the hospital was clean and the staff prompt, I really couldn’t have asked for more.

This surgery with Dr. Karatas has been the best decision of my life and the more I reflect on the experience, the more grateful I become (I didn't know it was possible!). Communicating with the medical coordinator meant that from the very beginning any questions I had were answered and my nerves were reassured. Once at the hospital, the staff were wonderful and my translator Hassan was so kind and supportive. I felt like everyone there had my health and my future as their priority, undergoing comprehensive testing to not only prepare for surgery but also reflect on my overall health. Before the surgery, I met Dr. Karatas as well as the anaesthesiologist and a general health doctor who signed off that I was ready for the surgery. They all had so much positivity that any anxiety was washed away by the positive vibes. Post surgery, Dr. Karatas and the team of nurses have been incredibly supportive and kind - they were on schedule for all medications without having to ask for it (I know this sounds standard but this is rare in my experience with the NHS) and their reassurances meant a great deal to me. I can not recommend highly enough Dr Karatas and his team. Dr Karatas is a pioneer when it comes to bariatric surgery and his confidence and quality speak for themselves. There is not a single negative word to say about my experience and I will be recommending him to anyone who asks about my surgery and the process of getting a gastric sleeve. Thank you Dr Karatas for changing my life and giving me all the tools to make this change last forever!

After to a load of research I choose to have my surgery with Dr Ibrahim Karatas and by god was it the best decision I have ever made. We arrived at Istanbul airport Monday night, followed the guided instruction to our taxi transfers. We arrived quite late in the night at the hospital but that wasn’t a problem. We got seen to quickly and shown to our hospital room. The room was like something I’d never saw before. Absolutely beautiful, spacious and definitely clean. The night staff were great, there was a language barrier but that wasn’t to be expected. (Thank goodness for google translate.) first thing Tuesday morning I had bloods, ecg, X-ray saw some lovely doctors. I went for my surgery 2pm that afternoon and was back on the ward by 5. And whay can I say they were amazing! Dr Karatas and his whole team went above and beyond to make me feel calm and relaxed. I was checked on frequently and the care was 100%. Cleaners were back and forth twice a day and my husband was fed 3 times a day. All in all a fantastic service with fantastic care to set me on the path I’ve been longing for.
