Top IVF Doctor in Turkey, Because Most Trustable One
We came for IVF treatment from USA, it was very nice that Dr. Melih speaks English. All treatment time he was involved in care by himself from initial assessment through the end, not as other doctors working through nurses. Dr. Melih cares for best outcome with all his heart. What impresses us the most is that he is always available any time for any questions. After we left Turkey and came to USA he is still involved in care. Even though, we have a time difference and sometimes texting late at night or early in the morning, he always answers fast. He is very patient and answers all crazy questions I have. Also we enjoy hospital where egg retrieval and transfer was performed.Hospital is new with newest equipment. Rooms were clean, and nicely designed. Even though we didn’t stay long , they served nice food. We are very happy we chose Dr. Melih.
He is the best doctor, not only in Istanbul, but all over the world. From my personal experience and not having children for seventeen years, I visited many doctors around the world, but I did not find a better one than Dr. Melih Aygűn… He performed many successful IVF operations for years Therefore, those who received treatment on his hand advised us to come to him, and thank God, everything is perfect, thanks to God and His grace
We are so lucky to come across Dr. Aygün! Extremely knowledgeable, very attentive and understanding. As soon as we started thinking about having a second child and consulted with him, he has been very much supportive and instructive. Every time we had any kind of question, he would get back to us right away. I can go on and on.
He guided us through every step of this IVF process and honestly, this is what every couple wants from a doctor, especially during this time when you’re most overwhelmed, vulnerable and most emotional. Every woman who is going through the IVF process or thinking about it, knows exactly what I’m talking about. I must specifically emphasize this; I didn’t get this kind of treatment first time around in the United States. Patients coming from the US know that doctors aren’t always very attentive; in fact, you’re lucky if you get to talk to a doctor ever enough unless you personally know them or you can afford your personal doctor! I have always felt great anytime I was around Dr. Aygün and his team.
Side note; Dr Aygün has one of the top embryologists in the world on his team. Every stage of IVF process from the start of the injections to the egg retrieval to the embryo transfer in every single step of the way, his guidance and attentiveness was outstanding. We can not thank Dr. Melih Aygün enough for everything he has done for us! Currently I am waiting for my pregnancy result ????
