Written by the company

I went to university in Istanbul University Capa Faculty of Medicine and in the specialty exam, I attended Ege University Faculty of Medicine, General Surgery Department and l graduated from this university in 2006 as a General Surgery Specialist. I completed my compulsory military service at Erzincan State Hospital and worked respectively at Istanbul Umraniye Training and Research Hospital (for 4 years), Bursa Postgraduate Training and Research Hospital (for 5 years) and Aydin State Hospital (for 3 years). In my professional life, I have chosen to perform advanced laparoscopic surgeries as a special interest. First, I worked intensively on inguinal and postoperative incisional hernias. Then I was interested in the surgical treatment of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes, which is the biggest health problem of our age. And since 2014 I started to help people who are struggling with obesity and Type 2 Diabetes. I touched a lot of lives and offered new life to many people, I continue to offer new life.

Working with Dr

Working with Dr. Volkan Arayıcı and his team was a truly professional and supportive experience from start to finish. They were incredibly responsive, took the time to explain everything clearly, and made sure every step felt personalized and thoughtful. It’s clear they genuinely care about the people they work with. I’d confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and compassionate medical team.

I had surgery with Dr Volkan in a January 2024. From my first initial contact right through to me leaving Turkey, Dr Volkan and his team were absolutely amazing. The care I received was outstanding and thorough, and Dr Volkan still supports you when you have returned home, offering any advice, support or help you may need. Dr Volkan changed my life and I’ll be eternally grateful to him forever 😊

Dr Volkan allowed me to have an amazing experience after a traumatic start. Mustafa came and picked me up from a company I had previously gone with that said they couldn’t do it due to medication. Dr Volkan didn’t hesitate and reassured me that my surgery could go ahead with the correct help. Really can’t thank him and his team enough for everything! Highly recommend.

Unbelievable treatment throughout my…

Unbelievable treatment throughout my operation and in the hospital afterwards. Then for months after I was messaged to see how I was getting on. The main part I really appreciated was the tests they did before my operation. I’ve had many operations since I was a kid and the tests before this op was a lot more than any other operation I’ve had in the uk. Would highly recommend dr volkan. I’ve already had 4+ friends book and go to dr volkan since I had mine done.

Dr Volkan was amazing!

Dr Volkan was amazing, I had my gastric sleeve surgery in Dec 2022, I had no complications and I am now 17months post op and I’ve lost 9st, couldn’t be happier, this has changed my life! The hospital was clean and tidy and Dr Volkan was very informative. The booking process was really simple and they accommodated my companion too where they could sleep in the same room with two single beds in there, couldn’t of asked for a better service, would definitely recommend - Thanks :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr Arayici is a very nice and personable doctor, he quickly took my fears away. The team is super nice. The hospital is very clean. I'm completely satisfied and I've already lost 7 kg six days after the operation and I'm super happy. Since I'm from Germany, Gözde helped me with everything and she's a great help.

Dr Volkan Arayici The best choice

Dr. Arayici is the best surgeon you can possibly find, very professional, very friendly, he and the team are always there on your side to make sure you have everything you need. The hospital is like a 5 star hotel, clean and you have everything you need. I had my surgery on 24/05/2022 and that was my best decision and best team to choose. If I have to choose again always will be Dr. Volkan Arayici and his team. Thank to all Merziye, she held my hand all the way. Mohammed, very caring and kind and all the team who did their best to make my stay as comfortable as possible. I cannot thank them enough for giving me second chance to live. Forever in my heart ❤️

Nothing but praise... 5 star.

I had my surgery 3 weeks ago.
Before I left home I was very apprehensive but those feelings soon went.
My coordinator was Merziyhe who was superb and always answered my questions immediately.
I was met at the airport.. driven in a nice merc taxi van.
Met at the hospital which is immaculate and fab staff.
Had tests in the evening and morning before having my surgery at 10am.
Dr Volkan is a great guy and will see you 3 times in total.
When I awakened after the surgery the pain is intense due to the gas the put inside you for the surgery but this soon goes away.
The key is walking to eleviate the pain.
I am so glad I chose Dr Volkan and in 3 weeks I have lost 2.5 stone and I am wearing clothes that haven't fitted me in years.
Go... change your life...

What a fantastic experience

What a fantastic experience which will change my life for the better. Hospital is 5 star - staff are all very professional and your every need is catered for. Interpreters are on hand morning to night and they are just wonderful. Luxury transport from airport to hospital and same on return journey. Surgeon is best in his field. Highly recommend him as his manner with his patients is amazing. Fantastic experience from beginning to end. Thanks to all in Izmir. Linda Kelly

Doctor Volkan Arayici Sleeve Gastric Surgery

I was with Doctor Volkan Arayici for sleeve gastric surgery. I was warmly welcomed by the assistant Gözde. She explained most of the things to me before and after the operation. I was surprised how nice and friendly everyone on Doctor Arayici's team was. You all won my trust there within a very short time. I can recommend Doctor Arayici and his team to everyone who wants to change their life and lose weight.
