American Hospital | Istanbul

I had a terrible experience at this hospital. They had placed a kettle and flimsy cardboard cups in a patient room — an extremely unsafe setup — and because of this negligence, boiling tea spilled all over my legs. My jeans melted and stuck to my skin, and I was left writhing in pain for hours as the skin on my leg peeled off. The ER staff clearly had no idea what they were doing — nothing they tried helped until a different doctor finally stepped in. They then told me to return the next day to see a professor, who applied a silver bandage that actually made the burn worse. For a private hospital, the lack of safety and the poor level of care were shocking. We were even charged despite being in the yellow zone, and only after complaining did they admit it was a mistake and promise a refund.

I had a medical emergency while travelling in Istanbul on a Saturday. Our private guide directed us to the emergency department, where I was promptly seen, without any time whatsoever spent in a waiting room. The hospital was clean, and the staff was nice. I was assessed almost immediately by the ER nurse and doctor, following which I was promptly taken to the GI Department where, as luck would have it Doctor/Prof. Tan Attila happened to be running clinic. I cannot overstate how amazing Doctor/Prof. Tan Attila was. He quickly assessed my problem and took action. He was kind, caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I was absolutely blown away by his service. The surgical/endoscopy room staff (including anesthesia) were all fantastic, as well. I highly recommend this hospital in a time of need, but I, above all else, would absolutely recommend that anyone who as needs try to see Doctor/Prof. Tan Attila. He is absolutely phenomenal.

I recently visited American Hospital Istanbul for a full medical check-up and had the pleasure of being seen by Dr. Burçin Sağlam Kurtoğlu (Internal Medicine Specialist). She was truly amazing — professional, caring, and very detailed in her explanations. Dr. Burçin took the time to go through every part of my medical history and results, explained everything clearly in English, and gave me thoughtful, personalized advice. Her calm attitude and genuine care made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the visit. I also want to give special thanks to Mr. Youcef, the translator and coordinator who assisted me. He was incredibly kind and helpful, handled all the administrative steps smoothly, and made sure everything went perfectly from start to finish. Thank you so much to Dr. Burçin Sağlam Kurtoğlu and Mr. Youcef for the excellent care and support. I truly appreciate your professionalism and wish you both continued success! 🙏🙏

She took the time to review every detail of our medical histories, explained each result clearly in fluent English, and followed up with personalized recommendations that made us feel confident and well cared for. Her deep attention to detail, calm approach, and genuine dedication truly reflect her high professionalism and strong medical ethics. I highly recommend Dr. Burçin Sağlam Kurtoğlu to anyone seeking a professional, caring, and meticulous internal medicine specialist. Thank you for the excellent service and care 🙏🙏

expats from Canada and my son developed a high fever. Took him here Monday Jan 27th for diagnosis, lab and prescriptions. Met with friendly staff, nurses and doctors who I could speak english with in the Paedeatrics department. In about 90 minutes we had our answers/results and prognosis, prescriptions. Cost was about 1400TL which I suppose is high if you're a local (I don't care much since it's fully covered by our insurance but anyways our experience was good).
