Op. Dr. Mahmut Doğan Arvostelua 350

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!!!

I had my surgery with Op. Dr. Mahmut Doğan on February 29, 2024. According to the doctor’s medical indications, I underwent a sleeve resection together with gallbladder removal during the same operation.

My starting weight was 161.5 kg. During the first year after surgery, I lost 70 kg. Later, I also had plastic surgery - an abdominoplasty and to remove excess skin. As of today, my total weight loss is 85 kg.

My experience with the clinic was truly wonderful. Everything was very well organized from the very beginning. I was met at the airport, supported throughout my stay, and the care continued until the moment I returned home. The medical team and staff were attentive, professional, and supportive during the entire process.

This surgery has completely changed my life, and I am very grateful to Op. Dr. Mahmut Doğan and the whole team for their professionalism and care.

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.

My name is Karina Taveras, I traveled from the Dominican Republic to have my gastric sleeve surgery on March 25.

From the very beginning, my experience was exceptional. Yestela, who guides patients before surgery, was incredibly kind and supportive. She answered every single question I had, no matter the time, always available, always patient. Everything was clear and transparent, and her constant follow-up and attention to detail made me feel accompanied and confident from day one.

When I arrived at Liv Hospital, I felt cared for at all times. The entire presurgery process was smooth and comfortable. Honestly, I was amazed, both Dr. Mahmut’s team and the nurses treated me as if I were the only patient in the hospital. Thinking about them still makes me emotional, because the way they treated me was so warm, so genuine, that I truly miss them.

As for Dr. Mahmut Dogan, I can only say wonderful things. To me, he is the best doctor in the world. His approach is kind, close, and human, exactly how every doctor should be. You can feel his passion and love for what he does. He was always checking on me, making sure I was okay, and visiting me with a smile, asking how I felt. I will be forever grateful to him.

And finally, Buse, the dietitian, has been incredible after my discharge. She has answered all my questions and provided detailed guidance for this new lifestyle, which has made a huge difference in my recovery and adaptation.

In summary, the entire process was very well organized from start to finish, which made everything much easier and more manageable. I would trust this team with my life again 100%.💜

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.

My experience was awesome but the only small hiccup is communicating with the nurses. But the first night arriving one of the nurses wasn’t doing a good job at putting the needle in my wrist and he surely bruised up my wrist. Didn’t see him after that during the rest of my time there
Dr Dogan and his crew were awesome tho. Hospital was nice and spacious with a great view. The hotel was good too.

I cannot recommend Dr Dogan highly enough. From my very first consultation through to my gastric sleeve surgery and follow-up care, I felt completely supported, informed, and safe.

Dr Dogan & his wonderful team took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answered all of my questions with patience, and made sure I felt confident in my decision. On surgery day, everything was handled professionally and smoothly, which really helped ease my nerves.

The results have been life-changing, and I am so grateful for Dr Dogan’s skill and expertise. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he is also compassionate and genuinely cares about his patients’ wellbeing and long-term success.

If you are considering gastric sleeve surgery, I would absolutely recommend Dr Dogan. Thank you for helping me start a healthier, happier chapter of my life!

The best experience I’ve had and Doctor Dogan and his team were supportive and professional. You couldn’t ask for a better person to help you make the best decision for your health.

For me I rate it a 5/5 experience. There was a language barrier but the nursing staff, all staff actually, were accommodating and patient with me. They always took the time to make sure I understood what was happening and made me feel well looked after.

A big thanks to everyone involved in my care, I truly appreciate it.
