Kraemer Medical

Kraemer Medical is a medical tourism facilitator and hospital network coordinator in Istanbul. Established in 2022, the center manages patient journeys across several medical specialties in Turkey. It operates as a multi-specialty hub with a central office in the Maslak district.

Accreditations and Professional Volume

The clinic holds JCI accreditation, a recognized international gold standard for healthcare quality. This certification confirms that partner facilities meet rigorous patient safety and hygiene requirements.

The bariatric surgery department works with specialists who have over 19 years of experience. This team has performed more than 8,000 operations for international and local patients. All partner hospitals follow AA sanitation and infection control standards.

Weight-Loss Surgery and Bariatric Care

The bariatric program treats obesity using both surgical and non-surgical methods. Specialists offer several options for weight reduction:

• Gastric bypass – surgeons create a small stomach pouch to limit food intake.
• Gastric sleeve – also called tube gastrectomy, this removes a portion of the stomach.
• Stomach botox – a non-surgical program targeting 15–20% weight loss.
• Gastric balloon – an endoscopic method that places a temporary balloon in the stomach.

Most bariatric surgeries use robotic surgical methods or laparoscopic techniques. These approaches use small incisions, so stitches are often nearly invisible. Patients typically stay in Istanbul for 7–8 days for sleeve-related pathways.

Hair Restoration and Plastic Surgery

The hair transplant unit uses specialized techniques to address hair loss and thinning. Surgeons perform Sapphire FUE, which uses sapphire blades for more precise incisions. They also offer Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) and eyebrow transplantation. Transplanted hair typically shows visible growth within 3 to 4 months.

The plastic surgery department covers aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Experienced surgical teams perform these operations in sterilized environments:

• Rhinoplasty – open and closed techniques to reshape the nose.
• Breast augmentation – silicone implants for enlargement or reconstruction after mastectomy.
• Liposuction – Vaser and Tumescent methods for fat removal.
• Abdominoplasty – a tummy tuck to remove excess abdominal skin.

Surgeons also correct congenital defects or chest wall deformities through reconstructive mammoplasty. For privacy, the clinic does not publish operation results in public feeds.

Ophthalmology and Specialized Treatments

The ophthalmology department focuses on Excimer Laser Surgery to correct vision defects. This technology addresses myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism. Specialists choose laser methods based on the patient's eye structure and age. The clinic also coordinates IVF treatments, including ICSI, for patients seeking infertility care.

Services for International Patients

The clinic provides "A to Z" journey planning for patients traveling from abroad. This includes VIP shuttle transfers between the airport, hotel, and hospital. An English-speaking team meets patients at the airport to help with arrival logistics. Multilingual support is available in:

• English
• German
• Spanish
• Italian
• Turkish

Accommodation is arranged for the duration of the medical stay. Patients can access free online consultations to discuss treatment plans before traveling. Follow-up care continues after discharge. Dietitians provide nutritional counseling for up to 12 months.
