Uzm. Dr. İsmail Çalıkoğlu Muayenehanesi

If I were to give Dr. Ismail Calikoglu a title, it would be "an all-around wonderful human being with golden hands." His exceptional expertise in gastric and general surgeries is truly remarkable. In life, we inevitably come across many doctors, but I can confidently say that he is the best doctor I’ve ever encountered. By pure chance and with trust in God, after just a few consultations with him, I decided to undergo gastric sleeve surgery—and it turned out to be the best decision of my life. He was even surprised when he realized I came to the hospital alone! 😄 But for me, I had already entrusted my life to God and then to Dr. Calikoglu. I’m deeply grateful to Dr. Ismail Calikoglu for giving me the chance to live a better and healthier life. Thank you for everything!

I had decided to change my lifestyle, but I realized that losing weight becomes quite difficult after a certain age. After following Dr. İsmail for a year, I decided to have a gastric balloon procedure, trusting his experience. The most satisfying aspect was having to convince him myself first. Initially, I thought I would just go and have it done immediately, but the process wasn't that simple. A gastric balloon isn't a weight-loss method; it's a tool to support the process. For this process to be successful, it's necessary to follow the diet and rules. It's not a case of "I got a balloon, now the weight will go away." We progressed through this process with the support of Ms. Yeliz and exercise. I started this journey at 77 kilos and I'm currently continuing at 65 kilos. The most important gain for me was actually shrinking my stomach in my mind, and I believe we truly succeeded in that.

I had a sleeve gastrectomy six months ago and have lost 30 kg in that short time. The care before and after the operation was excellent. I'm still in contact with my doctor and my nutritionist; we exchange information regularly, adjust my diet step by step, and they are always available if I have any questions. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ismail Calikoglu and his team to anyone interested in or in need of a sleeve gastrectomy.

I went to Dr. İsmail Çalıkköğlu to get information about having a gastric balloon inserted. After the examinations, he noticed a problem in my stomach and said I wasn't suitable for a balloon. Later, when my stomach complaints worsened severely, I called him despite living abroad. He was very helpful over the phone and recommended an endoscopy, but I couldn't get an appointment where I was. When my pain became unbearable, I came to Istanbul. Even though I arrived at the hospital late, he personally came, examined me, and started the necessary treatment. During the endoscopy, he identified and removed a polyp in my stomach, and the process was very successful. He is a knowledgeable, patient, caring doctor who never leaves his patients alone at any stage. He was by my side with close follow-up during and after the treatment process. Not because of the balloon procedure, but because of the solution to my stomach problem and the support of his team, I lost 16 kilos in 5 months. I would like to thank Dr. İsmail and his team once again. I am very pleased to have met you. I definitely recommend him. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I had gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Ismail 6 months ago and lost 30 kilos. The surgery was completely painless and problem-free. I wanted to express my endless gratitude to him and his team for everything, and to leave a review to recommend him to those who are in the process of researching. My advice to everyone is: if you want to lose weight, don't hesitate, go to Dr. Ismail. You can reach him whenever you need to; he closely monitors the process and even visits you at night during your hospital stay. He is an expert in his field; I came to him through a referral. I wish my esteemed doctor continued success and that he touches many more lives.
