I had seen many doctors for my long-standing reflux problem. They gave me stomach protectors or said I needed surgery. When I came to Dr. Salih, he said it could be done without surgery for the first time, and I felt I was being guided in the right direction. The diagnostic process was very detailed; the endoscopy and tests were performed with utmost care. My symptoms improved significantly after the treatment. Both his medical skills and his communication with patients are excellent. He is a doctor I can confidently recommend. Translated fromTurkish

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our esteemed Professor Dr. Salih Boğa, from the Gastroenterology Department of Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital, for his knowledge, experience, kindness, attention, and reassuring approach throughout the entire process of my operation. Entrust yourself to the safe and experienced hands of Professor Dr. Salih Boğa; he and his team will handle everything with great care, and you will return home healthy. Also, a huge thank you to my brother Osman, who patiently and cheerfully helped us through all our difficulties day and night, and was by our side from admission to discharge. Trust in Osman's experience and return home in peace and good health. Translated fromTurkish

My father had a mass in his intestine, and they said a portion of it needed to be removed. Then, on the recommendation of someone we knew, we came to Dr. Salih, and I'm so glad we did. He removed the mass without surgery, and throughout the treatment process, both the doctor and his team made my family feel very safe and secure. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Before undergoing endoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, my biggest concern was how long it would take to return to work, as I have a very demanding job. I was back on my feet within a few days of the procedure and quickly returned to my normal life. Before, I used to get out of breath even climbing stairs; now I can easily do sports. I experienced great relief not only physically but also psychologically. I'm so glad I chose this method. Translated fromTurkish

My biggest problem was eating late at night. Even when I wasn't hungry, I was constantly snacking. After gastric balloon surgery, this habit completely changed. I realized I didn't need to eat anymore because my stomach felt full. I lost a significant amount of weight in 4 months and I also feel more energetic. I never thought my eating habits could change with such a simple method. My endless thanks to Prof. Dr. Salih BOĞA and his team. Translated fromTurkish

I've had stomach pains since my youth. Some doctors said it was an ulcer, others said it was gastritis, but no one could definitively solve the problem. For years, I managed with my own methods. However, Dr. Salih took a different approach from the very first examination. He performed all the necessary tests and patiently explained everything to me. After clearly diagnosing the problem, the treatment we started relieved my pain. Not only the treatment, but also his approach, which gave me morale and confidence, was invaluable. A heavy burden that had been weighing on my shoulders for years was lifted. Translated fromTurkish

Because of achalasia, I couldn't swallow solid foods and had to be constantly fed liquids. While my children ate at the table, I would stand with a separate plate, which was very draining for me psychologically. Professor Salih made the correct diagnosis and performed endoscopic treatment. Now I can eat the same meal at the same table with my children. It has been a turning point in my life. Translated fromTurkish

I had difficulty swallowing for years, but they always said it was gastritis or stress. There were days when I struggled even to drink a glass of water. I couldn't eat in front of people and withdrew from social life. Finally, I was diagnosed with achalasia and referred to Professor Salih for treatment. Thanks to the endoscopic procedure, my life completely changed. My eyes filled with tears the day I swallowed my first bite easily; the simplest thing I had longed for all these years was actually being able to eat. Now I have a normal life again. Translated fromTurkish

For years I went to different doctors for stomach pain, and they just said "stress" and sent me away. Professor Salih really listened and made the correct diagnosis. He told me that we had started a personalized treatment process, and it's very interesting that such a serious problem can be treated so easily. You can trust Professor Salih. Translated fromTurkish

For years, my life had become unbearable due to reflux. I couldn't sleep at night, constantly waking up with a burning sensation in my throat and a bitter taste in my mouth. The doctors I went to either prescribed medication or offered temporary solutions, but nothing helped. Finally, I met Professor Salih. He explained all the non-surgical options to me. He managed the process very transparently. For the first time since my reflux surgery, I had a restful sleep at night. Translated fromTurkish

We absolutely do not recommend them. They are arrogant and condescending towards their patients, acting as if they created the world. After the endoscopy, they show you the door with dismissive phrases, saying there's nothing they can do. May God not let even my worst enemy encounter such a doctor. Translated fromTurkish

We went me and my son to this doctor according to the hospital reputation… and that was the mistake. I was having helicobacter Pylori,and my son was having a stomach pain. he requested for endoscopy for both of us .. (( even he looks like he is doing it for first time in his life.. I suffered three days pain after the endoscopy ))and his recommendation was as follows: 1- for me to do the treatment (( without mentioning any thing about diet while taking the medicines !!!! which was a big fail)).. then requested to repeat the endoscopy after one month.. ??? which is not necessary after checking with aprofessional doctor.-2 for my son he requested for endoscopy also.. and after the result he requested to do for him an operation which was not necessary at all after checking with professional doctors (( not only one .. ????? )). sorry to say as health consultant, he is the wrong guy .. . this evaluation comes after checking with five professional doctors ..
