Our medical director, Dr. Koray Erdogan and the majority of his staff also speak and understand English. From the moment our patients exit the baggage claims area of the airport, they are met and accompanied by one of our drivers, who will transfer them to the Asmed Surgical Center. Prior to their arrival, photos of the driver assigned to them will also be sent to the patient for easy recognition. Once the patient and driver rendezvous at the airport, the patient coordinator at Asmed will be notified by phone, and any questions or concerns the patient might have will be addressed by the coordinator.
