About Liv Hospital (Ulus)
Upscale Istanbul hospital that was first in Turkey to introduce the MAKOplasty RIO robotic arm for knee/hip replacement (97% reported knee success rate) and treats ~50,000 international patients a year. Unusually for Turkey, its own international site publishes hip replacement cost-comparison figures (USD as displayed).

A “check pending” result means the register exists but its public search cannot be queried automatically (captcha, JavaScript or country geo-blocking) — not that anything is wrong with the clinic. “Not found” means we searched and did not find an entry under this name; clinics often register under a different legal entity, so we treat it as a question to ask, not a verdict.

Stated by clinic
Accreditations are compiled from the clinic's own materials and public registers. Where a body maintains a public directory we link it so you can confirm the listing yourself. We show a credential only where the clinic states it — we never infer accreditations a clinic hasn't claimed.

Where these reviews come from: Google Maps reviews for this clinic, refreshed 2026-07-18. We show a single named source rather than blending scores from several platforms, and we do not collect or moderate reviews ourselves — so nothing here is filtered by us. Google reviews are unverified by Google: anyone can leave one, and clinics can ask happy patients to post.
How Thera vets clinics
Every clinic we list is screened for
accreditation (JCI, ISO, TEMOS or national licence),
verifiable pricing,
English-speaking international care, and a
Google rating with real review volume. On top of that we check each clinic against the
official government register in its own country and publish what we find — including when we find nothing. We introduce you to matched clinics — you are never cold-contacted without consent.
