WORLD-RENOWNED PLASTIC SURGEON OP. DR. ALI MURAT AKKUS IS PROUD TO SERVE A DIVERSE GROUP OF PATIENTS. HIS WORK AS WELL AS THE CARE GIVEN BY HIS OFFICE HAVE GARNERED HIM AN INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION FROM PATIENTS INTERESTED IN HAVING HIM PERFORM THEIR SURGERY.
At our office, we understand that the needs of patients flying in for treatment can vary, and we are extremely experienced in meeting those needs, whatever they may be. We are here to help at every step of the way, from scheduling flights and hotels to private duty nurses and transportation services. Our goal for our out of town patients is to make your experience as worry- and hassle-free as possible.
If you will be staying in Istanbul for a few days prior to your surgery with Op. Dr. Ali Murat AKKUS, we are happy to provide suggestions of attractions to visit while you are in town. Located on Fifth Avenue, our practice is easily accessible to cabs, subways, and car services, and is just across the street from Nisantasi.
Long distance consultations with Op. Dr. Ali Murat AKKUS can be arranged for any out of town patient. First, email or phone the office expressing your interest in a long distance (virtual) consultation and let us know what procedure you are considering, when you are thinking of undergoing treatment, and how long you can stay in Istanbul. Different procedures require different minimum lengths of stay.
Op. Dr. Ali Murat AKKUS will need to review photographs of the areas of interest prior to the consultation. These are most commonly sent by email, but can also be sent by FedEx or other post. Once we receive the photographs, we can schedule a telephone or Skype or WhatsApp consultation. Op. Dr. Ali Murat AKKUS will need to evaluate different views of the treatment areas before having a meaningful conversation about the procedure.
After the consultation with Op. Dr. Ali Murat AKKUS, you will have a chance to review the plans with Op. Dr. Ali Murat AKKUS’s Surgical Coordinator. At that time, she will provide you with surgical fees, scheduling details, accommodations, and if needed, private duty nursing.
All patients who are flying long distances and are scheduled to undergo a procedure with anesthesia must arrive in Istanbul at least one day prior to the procedure. This is for safety purposes, particularly to minimize risk of blood clots.
Op. Dr. Ali Murat AKKUS recommends the following minimum lengths of stay per procedure. Please remember that individual requirements will vary based on factors including age and overall health.
For certain surgical procedures, Op. Dr. Ali Murat AKKUS requires that our patients spend one night with one of our private duty nurses. Our team of certified nurses will provide superb post-operative care. Your comfort and well-being are their only concerns. They will meet you in the recovery area following your surgery and escort you to your home or hotel. If staying overnight in the hospital, they will stay in your room. Nurse fees vary and you will be responsible for paying each nurse after their shift (check or cash only).
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ARRANGE FOR PRIVATE DUTY NURSES, PLEASE LET OUR OFFICE KNOW.
