Testimonials

“Spending three months in Istanbul for my fellowship has been an extraordinary experience, not only from a professional standpoint but also on a personal and cultural level. From the very first day, the surgeons who welcomed us were genuinely committed to sharing their knowledge without any sense of jealousy or reservation. Whether in the operating room, during clinical discussions, or informal moments of exchange, we experienced a true spirit of collaboration.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Prof. Nazim Cerkes, Prof. Tunc Tiryaki, and Prof. Akin Yucel—outstanding examples of professionalism, passion, and integrity. Their generosity, attention to detail, and vision of surgery and mentorship are models I aspire to follow throughout my career."
