Who we are

We are editors,
not doctors.

TurkeyHealth.care is an editorial concierge for health travel to Turkey. We curate programmes, introduce you to exceptional people, and stay with you before, during, and for twelve months after.

A letter from the editors

We started this because we kept meeting people who wanted to go to Turkey for medical care but didn't know how. Not the price. Not the flights. How — as in, who do you trust? How do you know the clinic is good? How do you know the doctor stays in the room?

The answers turned out to be specific. You visit the clinic yourself. You read the accreditation documents, not the brochure. You send a researcher to spend a week in each city. You ask the doctor what happens if a patient needs something extra — and you watch their face when they answer. You build relationships with the hotels before you send anyone to stay in them.

We've done all of that. The result is a small catalogue of programmes we believe in, led by physicians we'd send our own families to, in properties we'd choose for ourselves. We are not a marketplace. We are not a referral engine. We are an editorial concierge — and the edit is serious.

Everything on this site has been seen, stayed in, consulted, or reviewed by someone on this team. When we recommend a hotel, it's because Ali spent a night there. When we list a physician, it's because Dr. Demir has reviewed their clinical approach. We will never list something we haven't checked, and we will remove it the moment we stop believing in it.

Our methodology

How we decide what goes in — and what doesn't.

01
We visit every clinic ourselves.
Every partner facility on this site has been visited by a member of our team. We review accreditation documents, observe patient flow, and interview the lead physician.
02
We spend a night in every recommended hotel.
Ali or a member of the hosting team stays at every hotel we recommend. We choose the room a guest would have, not the premium suite. We test breakfast, spa access, and what happens when something goes wrong.
03
Dr. Demir reviews every clinical element.
Every procedure, diagnostic protocol, and follow-up plan in every programme has been reviewed and approved by our Medical Director. Her name is on it. That is not ceremonial.
04
We stay in touch for 12 months.
We contact every guest at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after their programme. If something isn't working, we need to know. If a partner isn't meeting the standard, we remove them.
Disclosures

We receive referral fees from partner clinics and hotels at fixed rates agreed in advance. These rates are the same regardless of how many guests we send. A partner cannot pay to be featured — they are selected editorially and the fee is set afterwards.

If we stop trusting a partner — for any reason — we remove them. The referral relationship ends. This has happened twice since we launched. We do not name the partners we removed.

TurkeyHealth.care is an editorial concierge and travel service, not a medical provider, clinic, or healthcare authority. We introduce guests to independent physicians and partner facilities. All medical decisions are made by qualified, licensed physicians. We do not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations.
