Dr. Görkem Atsal Clinic

After reading a couple of bad reviews about the doctor and his assistants, i want to share my real experience with them, without leading you blind.
I’ve had a rhinoplasty done with the Dr., last week; it’s the beginning of my second week now. I am writing this review regarding the treatment, the hospitality and everything overall. I won't be saying anything huge about my rhinoplasty, yet.

First things first, the price i paid was for operation, hotel and transport fees. As transport, i mean from airport, to clinic, to hospital and back to airport, don't expect to be driven everywhere you like for free.
The first person who introduced me to everything was one of his assistants Gulce. Gulce speaks really good English (maybe other languages, but that was the language we spoke). She was really patient with every question i had towards the rhinoplasty, and she is very sweet as person too.
On my day of arrival, it was a late flight and i couldn’t do nor a consultation, nor the tests needed for the operation. The next day, early morning, they always texts you the night before to let you know what time the driver will pick you up from the hotel, i went for me consultation with the Dr. and his assistants. By the way before your arrival his assistant makes a group chat with all his assistants, a private group chat just for you if anything needed after work times . The Dr. speaks good English, please note that in Turkey they don't teach them english in school or etc. so don’t judge if the accent is not good. The Dr. is really nice, was very patient with doing my 3D result of my rhinoplasty, because I didn’t liked it 3 times 🤭 Overall first impression was good for me, good manners, gives you tea or coffee, everything you need is there. They have modern interior, new machines.

The next day was my operation… here i do have to say a few things about the hospital service. The 5 stars on my review is for the Dr. and his crew, nothing to do with the hospital. When going for the operation, you are put in a private hospital, yes he doesn’t own a hospital and so does a lot of other Drs in Turkey. I was put in a room by myself, the room was clean, new and spacious. First thing we did was get blood tests, then i signed the documents for the operation, which his assistant Asal was with me the whole time in the hospital and was really sweet and patient with me as i am scared of needles. Because i mentioned to the Dr. I’ve had a heart surgery as a child he insisted to be checked, i was rushed up and down the elevators, later i saw that the Dr. was arguing with the medical sisters on shift for making me go up and down, as i was already in my hospital gown and abocat and was not really comfortable. I was really touched by that, because i felt safe.
My operation went well, and I haven’t felt any pain in my nose to this day. The only pain I was feeling was my abocat, it was hurting so bad that I think this was the worst of all. And nobody spoke English in the hospital, so it was a nightmare. I only stayed 1 night at the hospital and was driven back home. Before going home, the Dr. came to check up on me and explained what he has done to my nose.

After 3 days, my nose cast was removed and the things they put inside your nostrils, dont know the correct name. That was the best part of all. Then the Dr. explained what and shat not to do, how to massage it, i am very pleased of the communication i had with him as Dr and patient, note that i was by myself.

To this day i keep in touch with his assistant Gulce, asking any questions, they insist to take pictures every day to follow your healing process, which for me sounds enough for a Drs job and team. I am pleased with the choice i made, i felt at home.

Hi

I will break my review into 4 parts

1 The initial consultation pre-booking

2 the journey during surgery

3 post-treatment care

4 results

For now, I am at stage 1 & 2.

1 - My contact was/is Sia, I can sincerely say he had guided me with all the information I required to choose this clinic. No pressure was given and the questions asked were answered fully.
On this basis, I chose to go with them.

2 - on landing, I was taken straight to the hospital for tests. This was a Sunday, Sia was not working; however, he came and especially met with me at the hospital and guided me through

The next day, I was promptly picked up in the morning, checked in the hospital, and met with a team member of the clinic and the surgeon. Then the surgery was undertaken
I had 2 days of recovery at the hospital, even though the nurses' first language was not English, they made every effort to communicate with me and made my stay more comfortable. I was also checked upon by the clinic team. The hospital was very clean & tidy however i would suggest bringing your own snacks!
On check out of the hospital, the surgeon first checked if I was okay to be released then I was taken back to the hotel- which was very comfortable and clean.
I met with the rest of the team (including Dr Gorkem Atsal) at the clinic's main office during the week and then met with the surgeon pre-departure for a final check and given the all-clear

I was then given some medicine to take back and here I am now nearly 2 weeks post op and have no regrets.

Note - I researched several companies before choosing th× Gorkem Atsal clinic. This one stood out on both customer care and price.

I would recommend them to anyone considering any type of cosmetic surgery - of course - I would Sia would be the man to talk to. Well the whole team were great.

3 & 4 reviews to follow

My point of contact was (and still is) Sia, and I can sincerely say he provided all the information I needed to make an informed decision about choosing this clinic. There was absolutely no pressure, and every question I asked was answered thoroughly. Based on this, I chose to go ahead with them.

Upon landing, I was taken straight to the hospital for tests—even though it was a Sunday. Although Sia wasn’t scheduled to work that day, he made a special trip to the hospital to meet me and guide me through the process.

The next morning, I was promptly picked up and taken to the hospital for check-in. I met with a member of the clinic team as well as the surgeon, and the surgery was then carried out. I stayed in the hospital for two days to recover. While the nurses didn’t speak fluent English, they made every effort to communicate and ensure I was comfortable. I was also visited and checked on by the clinic team during my stay. The hospital itself was clean and well-maintained. Though I’d recommend bringing your own snacks!

Before being discharged, the surgeon personally checked that I was ready to be released. I was then taken back to a hotel, which was clean, comfortable, and a great place to recover.

Later in the week, I met with the rest of the team— including Dr. Gorkem Atsal—at the clinic’s main office. Before my departure, I had a final check-up with the surgeon and was given the all-clear, along with some medication to take home.

Now, nearly two weeks post-op, I have no regrets.

I researched several companies before choosing Dr. Gorkem Atsal’s clinic, and this one stood out for both customer care and affordability. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. If you do, I’d definitely suggest getting in touch with Sia—though the whole team was fantastic.

Had an arm lift and liposuction to get rid of fat and hanging skin, to tighten that area up. Since menopause, my skin became loose and fat, had it removed.

The team of girls that worked at the clinic were very helpful, friendly, and kind, and looked after me. I stayed in hospital for one night and they kept in touch to see if I was OK. Yasemin and Nilsu were absolutely brilliant xxx.

My surgeon was great and I stayed at Erdem Hospital in Istanbul x

So happy with my rhinoplasty by Dr. Görkem Atsal! He understood exactly what I wanted and delivered amazing, natural results. The entire team was incredibly supportive and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Highly recommend! 💫

Very professional, kind, caring, truly gifted Dr Gorkem Atsal, with a great team, supported me throughout my rhinoplasty journey. Addressed all my concerns pre and post op and it went pretty smooth for me. I highly, highly recommend.

I had an absolutely outstanding experience at Dr Gorkem Atsal clinic for my rhinoplasty. From start to finish, the level of care, compassion, and professionalism was truly exceptional. The entire team made me feel comfortable, informed, and genuinely cared for throughout the process.

The results have exceeded my expectations—I couldn’t be happier with my new nose. It looks natural, suits my face perfectly, and has genuinely changed my life. I feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin than ever before.

A huge thank you to Dr Gorkem and the entire staff at the clinic for their incredible work and support. If you’re considering rhinoplasty, I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic—you’ll be in the best hands.

Dr Atsal is fantastic. Excellent facial surgeon. I had a neck lift and upper and lower blepharoplasty. He's very patient and explained everything before and after the surgery. The scars are hardly noticeable on the back of my neck and the eye scars are invisible. Recovery was fast. My surgery resulted in a subtle change were nobody knows it's been down but says I look relaxed, lost weight etc....

Deep-plane neck and face lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty and brow lift.
If you are reading this review, then you are in the position I was in some 12 months ago. I felt that I no longer looked like the person I felt like, and through research, I learned about what could be done to realign my appearance with how I felt.

It started with requests for information from numerous clinics in Turkey.
After speaking with several clinics, studying reviews and comparing services and prices I spoke with Sia, a member of Doctor Atsal's team. I immediately felt comfortable with our encounter and what was to become a relationship of respect and trust was established. There was never any 'hard sell'. Only care and guidance.

Meeting Dr Gorkem Atsal for the very first time via Teams reassured me that this was the person in whom I would place my trust. Meeting Dr Atsal in person confirmed my initial feelings.

And almost 3 months after my procedure I know that my instincts were correct. Dr Atsal indeed, all his team, are kind, honest, gentle and caring. The expert hands of Dr Atsal have delivered a great result for me. And my wife!! Yes, we took this journey together!! Thank you

Taking the decision to put your appearance in the hands of another is not to be taken lightly. I feel very comfortable recommending Dr. Atsal. Talented hands and a warm heart with an excellent team makes Dr. Atsal the perfect choice.

It took me years of research and consultations with different surgeons before I finally found the right team for me. I had a deep plane face and neck lift, a full tummy tuck, and 360 liposuction. While the treatment was a bit more expensive than other clinics, the service and care I received were truly outstanding and well worth it.

From start to finish, the team made my welfare and comfort their top priority — and what stood out the most was how genuine and heartfelt their care was. The whole team feels like a family, and you become a part of it. I’m incredibly grateful for the entire experience.

Ich hatte im Mai 2022 meine Nasen-OP
in der Klinik Dr. Görkem Atsal und bin bis heute einfach überglücklich mit dem Ergebnis! Sowohl gesundheitlich als auch optisch hat sich meine Lebensqualität enorm verbessert.

Dr. Görkem Atsal hat wirklich Großartiges geleistet – mit viel Feingefühl, Können und einem unglaublichen ästhetischen Gespür hat er meine Nase genau so geformt, wie ich es mir gewünscht habe. Das Ergebnis ist absolut natürlich und passt perfekt zu meinem Gesicht.

Vom ersten Beratungsgespräch bis zur Nachsorge habe ich mich bestens aufgehoben gefühlt. Dr. Görkem nimmt sich Zeit, hört zu und arbeitet mit Präzision und Leidenschaft.

Ich kann ihn vom ganzen Herzen weiterempfehlen – ein Arzt, der sein Handwerk nicht nur versteht, sondern es lebt. Vielen Dank für alles! Hacer Cifci

From start to finish, the care was professional and excellent. I’m really happy with the results and would highly recommend the whole team. I’ll definitely be back! xxxxx

After contacting many clinics in turkey I decided to go ahead with Dr Gorkem Atsal due to several reasons. Gulce, the coordinator was responsive, understanding and empathetic. This, together with Dr Atsals reviews, the before and after pictures, personal interaction with other clients that had the same surgery with positive outcomes and feedback, plus the reasonable price for me was the deciding factor.

Overall, the experience was smooth running I was as promised collected to and from the airport, to all hospital runs. I had 2 nights stay in the hospital as well as my hotel paid for so all was as agreed in the initial consultation and invoice. I was happy with how my surgery recovery went as expected. The aftercare & communication once I got back home after the op to months later is still consistent with the initial first contact I had with the team. A special thanks to Gulce and of course, the amazing Dr Gorkem Atsal keep up the good work! 😊
