Op. Dr. Mahmut Doğan Omdömen 

Karem my coordinator was brilliant. From my first contact, he was informative, helpful & nothing was too much trouble. When I landed in Turkey, I was met by Private transport & taken straight to the hospital. I chose Cerrahi. Karem was waiting for me. He explained that I was going to have pre op tests & talked me through each one. I was taken to my room. It was spotlessly clean. The next morning. Karem returned & i met Dr Dogan. He was so friendly & instantly put me at ease. Throughout my time with his team. Nothing was too much trouble, either with the nurses, Karem or the Dr. The care I received. Was honestly amazing. Even on my return home. Karem was in touch following up. If i made contact. I would always get a response. I lost all my weight. Within 10 months after surgery. I lost a total of 57kgs. 9 stone. My body settled at that loss & ive maintained that for 3 years so far. Anybody thinking of using this surgeon & the team. Don't hesitate.

I had my surgery from DR Doğan on 18th April 2024 and have lost an amazen 15 stone would 100% recommend this man and if ever goin for further surgery this is wer I would go 1st class for everything including giving me a new life thankyou for everything xx

I had my surgery in November 2025 after booking it in June 2025. I travelled from Sydney, Australia to Turkey, and from the very beginning, the communication was excellent—quick, efficient, and very reassuring. The team kept me fully informed every step of the way and provided clear, detailed instructions, including exactly where to be picked up from.

Before the surgery, they took me out and made sure I was comfortable and prepared. The surgery itself went smoothly, and I had no issues at all.

Since then, the aftercare has been just as impressive. The dietician has been in regular contact with me every few weeks for my monthly check-ins, making sure I’m doing well. They have been absolutely amazing and very supportive throughout the process.

Dr Mamut Dogan has also been fantastic—he communicated everything clearly and explained exactly what would happen, which gave me a lot of confidence.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experience.

Wow! Next week will be my 1 year surgery anniversary and I’ve lost 68.9kgs already. The time has just flown by. My main reason I went with them is I reached out to others from my country that had already been and done their surgeries there. They had an amazing experience and had only good things to say with great results. I also couldn’t afford it in my own country. Their price and service is unbeatable. The whole process from 1st contact, to booking flights, travelling to Turkey, doing the surgery, post surgery hospital stay, hotel, transfers, aftercare etc EVERYTHING was so easy! I mean seamless. Treated like a VIP from the moment we landed till it was time to go home. We were given medication to take back too and also check ins and advice with the dietitian every new week, month and so on. I recommend going with Dr Dogan and his team to everyone I know. They really do take care of you. I’m extremely happy with my results. My body and mindset has changed so much. Able to do things I could only imagine before. I have my confidence back, went from size 26 to 14, stay active, always moving and quality of life 100x better. Thank you Dr Mahmut Dogan, Kerem and Buse for everything.

Dr Dogan and his Team were awesome. The procedure was a great success for me and my husband. We have lost over 70kg between us, have lots of energy and my husband runs 10-20kg every couple days. Highly recommend Dr Dogan and his whole Team

It has been a fantastic 6 months watching my life, my body and especially my health change for the better thanks to Dr Mahmut. I look much younger, feel better, no more diabetes, no more high blood pressure, no more sore knees or back, no more breathlessness. Please do not hesitate to get your procedure done with this highly experienced doctor. As a Registered Nurse I highly recommend him. You won't regret it. The best thing is that the team are still liaising with me and I can still discuss any concerns and get advise any time I want. Thank you Dr Mahmut and team. Love from Maya

12 months post op today, and could not be happier. Heaviest weight Jan 25 - 161kgs. Today (16/4/26) 12 months post op I weigh a very healthy 74.9kgs. Starting weight 16/4/25 was 128kgs.

I have so much more confidence in everything I do, feel better in everyway. I keep up with my grandkids now, and never sit on the sideline.

If you are on the fence, do it you won't regret it. Every member of staff are fantastic. Highly recommended, you won't regret it.

Traveled from Brisbane to Turkey and had a gastric bypass 10 months post op and amazing results. Dr Mahmut is great and very informative. His team and the support I have received throughout my journey I can highly recommend Dr Mahmut and his team.

It’s been 6 months now since I went to Istanbul and had my surgery performed by Dr Doğan.
This entire experience has changed and saved my life.
I’ve lost 46kg in 6 months, i have the ability now to do so much more physically that I had been able to do for many years.
I can’t believe how well I look and my type 2 diabetes is now non existent, my overall health has improved significantly.
Even the Lymphodema I had been struggling with as a complication from breast cancer has almost gone away.

I owe Dr Doğan my life ♥️

I have had a fantastic experience couldn't fault my experience everything laid out happened no unexpected 7 months later have lost 56kgs and still going have had absolutely no problems at all

I went to Turkey alone and nervous, I was made to feel very comfortable and welcome when I arrived, I was transported to hospital hotel and airport, with nothing to worry about.
My surgery went very well and I recovered very quickly.
I have had no problems with my gastric sleeve and have lost 24kg so far, I was sleeved on the 2 December 2025 and am now 75 kg down from 99, I am very happy with my results.

I had been watching Dr Dogan’s stories for months before reaching out. There was so much uncertainty into flying across the world to receive surgery but when we got here, the service was amazing. Dr Dogan’s team have been fantastic at responding to every message, following up on any queries and even post op once I was at the hotel they stil provided care when I needed it. Highly recommend Dr Dogan and his team!!!

From the start getting information to booking everything & the exceptional care, empathy, love, respect from all is amazing.
Thank you Kerem, both dieticians, All the nurses & of cause the Dr.

Gracias / Teşeckkürler / Thank you
AnaMaria

Everything was very good.
My sister in law & I are very satisfied.

What a amazing experience with these people!!!
From the beginning everything is just perfect. The doctor, the nurses, communication, dietician......absolutely professional. Thank you!

Kerem is an excellent communicator and organised the best care for me in Turkey and also following up when I got home to Australia.
The whole process was smooth, straightforward, and timely.
I had a visit from the doctor the day after surgery, which was lovely.
The staff at the hospital were fabulous and so sweet and caring.
It was an excellent experience and I highly recommend Kerem to be your organiser andDr Dogan for anyone who would require a gastric sleeve, with a very reasonable price attached.

I had my surgery just over 3 years ago now. I have lost around 46kg, although I fluctuate 1 or 2 up and down naturally. I have maintained now for 2 and a half years which I’m pleased with.
Life looks slightly different but it’s my new normal - I still wait 30 minutes after eating or I fell uncomfortable, I still don’t drink fizzy drinks, and I still take Lansoprazole daily prescribed by my GP. I also get b12 injections every 3 months via the gp.
Portions are still relatively small on a side plate with protein and veg, minimal carbs as there’s just no point, unless I fancy a few bites of something, then I will.
100% happy with what I’ve done, would I do it again- absolutely! Confidence and clothes are a thing!
Team were amazing then and still are now, checking in every so often, you are never forgotten about! Tesekkürler x

I highly recommend Dr Mahmut Dogan and his Team they are so professional from the airport transfers to the surgery table and accommodation. Honestly in my opinion their health system is better than Australia and New Zealand hands down🙏

With my experience i couldn't believe how quick all my testing results were captured. For people like myself and their are so many others in countries like Australia and New Zealand they ask you to lose a lot of weight with my situation 100kgs before they would do any procedure on me.
Where Dr Mahmut accepted and done my procedure straight away meaning i needed help right there and then and Dr Mahmut and his Team delivered.

They are 5 star rated for sure with my own experience.

Un equipo magnífico una gente maravillosa desde el primero hasta el último i un cambio de vida magnífico. Gracias D.R. Mahmut Dogan

Very disappointed with my experience with this doctor. The lack of professionalism is clearly noticeable. The communication is cold, disrespectful, and above all, there is no real consideration for the patient.

I did not feel heard or taken seriously. For a clinic that is supposed to inspire trust, this is truly disappointing.

I absolutely do not recommend this place. There are far better options elsewhere.
