    Hello,

    I am from Toronto and I came to Istanbul for treatment. The facilities were great, the Dr.’s were excellent and the cost was much less then back home. I used a website called http://www.visitandcare.com to arrange the appointment. If anyone would like to contact me, please feel free to email at melissaroper2007@gmail.com

    Happy New Year.
