Klinikten görüntüler

Views from the clinic. Every photograph below was taken inside Santa Urology itself — the entrance, the waiting lounge, the consulting room and the examination and treatment bays. Nothing here is a stock photograph, and nothing here is a hospital: this is an outpatient andrology clinic, and it is where everything except your operation happens.

Ten, all our own

Men travelling for this operation are asked to take a good deal on trust, usually from a website. Publishing the rooms is the cheapest honest thing a clinic can do about that, so here they are, unstaged and unstyled: one clinic floor in Beşiktaş, with a waiting lounge, a consulting room, examination and treatment bays, and the corridor that joins them.

What you will not see is an operating theatre, because we do not have one and would not want one. Santa Urology is a clinic rather than a hospital, and prosthetic surgery occasionally needs a building rather than a room — intensive care two floors away, interventional radiology, a blood bank, microbiology in-house. So consultations, examination, Doppler ultrasonography, dressing changes and twelve months of follow-up happen here, and operations happen in accredited private hospitals across the city where we hold theatre time and admitting rights.

Where you will actually be, and when. Assessment and follow-up at the clinic in Beşiktaş; your operation and overnight stay at one of four JCI-accredited hospitals, named in your quotation before any deposit is taken. The four are set out, with bed and theatre capacity, on the hospitals page.

Ground floor

Arrival and the waiting lounge

The clinic occupies a single floor in Beşiktaş, on the European side of the city. Consultations run to appointment rather than to a queue, so the lounge is quiet by design: men arriving for an andrology appointment are usually not keen to sit in a crowded waiting room, and the day is scheduled to avoid it.

The entrance The way in. The lettering on the wall is the clinic’s own — this is an outpatient andrology clinic, not a hospital, and everything except your operation happens on this floor.
The waiting lounge at Santa Urology: leather sofas and armchairs around low tables, vertical blinds diffusing daylight, herringbone parquet floor.
Waiting lounge The lounge. Vertical blinds along the window wall keep the room bright without putting anyone on display from the street.

Lounge, window side The lounge runs most of the width of the floor and a structural pillar divides it into two seating groups, which is useful on a day when two appointments overlap.

Where you meet your surgeon

The consulting room

Consultations happen in a closed room with the door shut, across a desk rather than over a trolley. The surgeon who sees you here is the surgeon who operates: the video consultation before you travel, the assessment on arrival and the follow-up afterwards are all with the same clinician. Both photographs below are of the same room, from either end.

Consulting room The certificate wall is not decoration for its own sake. Fellowships, panel appointments and society memberships are hung where a patient can read them, and the same credentials are set out in writing on the team pages of this site.
The other end of the consulting room at Santa Urology: a wall-mounted screen, folded clean linen and towels stacked on a long cabinet, and a stainless steel dressing trolley.
The same room, other end Clean linen on the cabinet, a dressing trolley, and a screen for going through your own imaging with you — Doppler traces, previous operative notes, implant sizing — rather than for a sales presentation.

Assessment and follow-up

Examination and diagnostics

Physical examination, penile Doppler ultrasonography, dressing changes and the whole of your post-operative follow-up happen in these rooms. What does not happen here is surgery. Implants, Peyronie’s correction and every other procedure requiring an anaesthetist are performed in accredited private hospitals elsewhere in Istanbul, where we hold theatre time and admitting rights.

One field, one floor

A clinic that does one thing, in a building sized for it

The sign in the reception hall is the whole proposition. There is no hair transplant desk down the corridor and no dental chair on the floor above, because a centre that offers everything is organised around selling procedures, and a centre that offers one thing is organised around doing it well.

Photographs are of the clinic as it is on an ordinary working day. We publish no testimonials, no patient photography and no before-and-after imagery of any kind, so the rooms are the only thing there is to show — which is rather the point.

Next step

Come and see it, or see it from where you are

Patients in Istanbul are welcome to visit before committing to anything. Patients abroad get the same thing by video: a free consultation with the surgeon who would operate, a look at your history and previous operative notes, and an itemised quotation naming the hospital.
