I too had a health check at the Esnaf a few months ago. I had one or two niggling problems, one of which I had first raised with my GP in the UK 8 years ago. I was referred to an specialist and given treatment which solved the problem on a short term basis by masking the symptoms. I raised the problem with one of the specialists at the Esnaf and by using ultrasound he actually diagnosed the cause of the problem. Three days later I was admitted and had surgery which has totally eradicated the problem.

I cannot speak highly enough of the treatment and service I received at the Esnaf both during the check up and as an inpatient. As we have the government health insurance we received a substantial discount on the inpatient treatment.

We have used all three local hospitals and find them all good and what we like is you get the results that day.

Unfortunately that's the nature of GP's and the NHS. They are not private doctors and to get the check up Chris had you would need to go private in the UK - just like she did in Turkey.

I have no idea what £230 quid would get you over here but my guess is not a lot. Someone may know beter though.

Stoop, I have had a couple of private BUPA checks in the Uk over the last couple of years.

I cannot remember the exact cost but it was close to 400.00 and certainly was not as extensive as the VIP @ the Esnaf.

Can anybody tell me where this hospital is - I am new to the area and still trying to find my way around, and if you know the telephone number that would be great.

Thanks

The Esnaf is on the promenade in Fethiye, if you know the Yakamoz restaurant it's near there. Alternatively, walk past McDonalds on your right hand side with the sea on your left. The phone number is 0252 612 6400

I am under a gyni in Uk and his fee is £280 for half an hour any diagonstic testes oops tests are extra!!
someone I know had to have a mamogram recently in Turkey due to being in a lot of pain as she had residency she was able to go to the Devlet for it and it cost around £30, on her return to Uk the clinic she went to commented on how brilliant the mamagram images were, apparantly Turkey has digital images and the consultant said we dont have that in Uk.
George that sounds brilliant all those tests for that price and also having peace of mind is something you cant buy  :)

Esnaf Hospital - Health Checks

We sat in the Devlet for 2 hours waiting to see a doctor about Johns back pain.
The queue wasn't going down as lots of people crowded around the doors and went in as soon as it opened.
The pain got too bad for John sitting all that time, so I went to see the English speaking rather arrogant, indifferent guy at reception who probably should have done all the computer booking in when we went in the day before, and would have saved 20 minutes of him chatting to his friend while booking us in...anyway, he said the people going in are just needing boxes ticked for their driving licences.
So we would just have to wait. We were number 70 and the screen was showing number 10.
So I explained John couldn't sit any longer so could we have our money back, he said no, only into our bank account.
I had paid cash, but he still insisted he couldn't give it back.
I insisted he could and a few minutes later we left the Devlet with the cash.
In the car I called the Esnaf.

Appointment the next day, bang on time.
Examination, MRI, consultation, prescription, all completed within the hour for 310tl. MRI showed slipped disc, no need or an op at the moment, but needs to be very careful about lifting etc. good to know what's wrong and how to look after it.
Faultless.

I had a thyroid examination at the Esnaf, full blood screening, thyroid scan and consultation a few weeks ago, 340tl. Friendly efficient staff, couldn't fault the service at all.

Not sure I would go back to the Devlet unless had to for financial reasons, although we may have just had a bad experience, many people think its great and have had no problems.
