Clinic Center - Istanbul

I am so happy to choose Clinic Center. I had my hair transplant with them, they were very kind, professional and helpful. I am in recovery now, but really excited about the results. I am very thankful and recommend this clinic to everyone.

I am really grateful for my surgery. I had my breast lift there and after seven weeks I am already glad about the results. The team was the cutest. Thank you for everything.

I would definitely recommend the Clinic Centre based on my recent surgery that was arranged through the company. I have written a few reviews (and I never really write reviews) purely to convey how positive my experience was, particularly as I was very apprehensive beforehand.

I had a breast augmentation and uplift with Dr. Hakan Gündoğan and am thrilled with the results (I provided a separate very positive Google review in relation to my surgeon (which unfortunately was removed without explanation by Google!?!)).

I was very nervous prior to the surgery but felt instantly reassured following my consultation with Dr. Hakan. He had already formulated a plan for my surgery, which coincided with exactly what I had hoped to achieve. The results speak for themselves, and I am absolutely delighted!

The Clinic Centre ensured that the entire process ran smoothly. They were on hand to provide assistance from the first point of initial contact, throughout my time in Istanbul, and continuing post-surgery following my return to the UK. All transportation was arranged, including airport transfers and for journeys relative to the surgery and subsequent hospital appointments.

I was assigned various chaperones (who also acted as translators) throughout my stay. This was crucial, as while my surgeon spoke very good English, most of the hospital staff and nurses spoke little to no English.

The hotel that I stayed in as part of my trip (Volley Hotel) was basic but served its purpose, and I had no complaints. Overall, I had a great experience with the Clinic Centre. The company provides fantastic value for money, good customer service, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

My surgery was about three weeks ago, and I have to say I'm really happy with the result and also with the whole experience. First of all, the hotel is a very high standard, and the staff is always helpful. They speak very good English and always there to help.

The surgery itself went quick and well. I felt like in good hands. The nurses took good care of me after my operation.They are very helpful and friendly. My overall experience was very good, from the start to the end. I would definitely recommend Clinic Center to every one who wants a new version of themselves.

The clinic center totally deserves 5 stars!! I had my hair transplantation in Turkey with Clinic Center and the whole process was great for me. The consultancy service, and surgeons all had a professional attitude alongside having a sincere manner on my whole journey from the beginning to the end in Turkey. In addition, the aftercare service was also a point I was affected by. Even after I left Turkey to return my homeland, they wrote me to ask about how the healing process was going. I will surely recommend this place to my acquaintants.

I am so grateful for everything, and in love with my body. I had a breast lift and augmentation operation at Clinic Center 5 months ago. The results are so satisfying. During the consultation, the surgeon listened to my own wishes and directed everything according to them.

Furthermore, the hotel was hygienic, thankfully the aftercare team was extremely helpful and I really felt confident with their sincerity. And now, my two incision scar faded away and I am genuinely happy.

I had an operation on my nose back in Spring and I have been waiting for my face to go back to normal to write a review. Dr. Ilkay has the hands of an angel, my nose looks gorgeous now. I was very nervous initially but the Clinic Center team supported me around the clock and were always there to reassure me. I couldn't be happier with the results. I am thinking about getting my lips done next, and now I know exactly where to go.

I strongly recommend Clinic Center. It was quite an experience for me and most importantly I am really happy with the results of my operation.

I had a breast augmentation and uplift surgery from Clinic Center and that was the first time ı have ever done any operation.

Teamwork was amazing and doctors are so understandable, by the way, if you get two operations at the same time they offer %50 DISCOUNT.
the pricing packet is AMAZING :).

Even you can buy 3 of them they can provide a discount of an average 65%. The quality of the service was incredible. I am so happy with to result of the surgeries. Thank you, guys !

ı hope that see you again.

100% recommend. The staff, doctors and nurses were amazingly supportive. I had a personal consultant who helped me whenever I've asked any questions.

They've picked me from Airport via private car which was a nice car. The hotel I've stayed in was quite nice. The doctor explained me whole process before we get started. I'm at day 16 and swelling goes down already and I am 100% loved my new look.

Thanks for your amazing support.

PS: I am already planning my next visit for a hair transplant.

I had a really nice experience. I went for a hair transplant. They were very helpful both during the operation and during my recovery, they are caring and helpful. The hotel I stayed in was good and transportation was also very easy. Thank you for everything.

As of right now, my surgery results are great. I got a breast reduction through Clinic Center Istanbul. My surgeon was able to get me to the exact size I wanted, which I was really happy about. My overall trip was ok, but I did have some problems. Communicating was pretty difficult. My coordinator did not answer me for days or hours even if it was really important sometimes. I also was not told a lot of things clearly enough. The hotel I stayed at has no actual connection to the clinic, it is just one they send a lot of people to. It was nice, but it would have been nice to know that before. My “host” that I was told about was basically just a translator that I only saw for a maximum of 5 hours during my whole stay. I had to rely on texting people if I had questions for the most part. The hospital that I had my surgery at was not at the actual clinic center, it was a partner hospital. I was never told about this being a thing at all so I couldn’t research the hospital or my surgeon. The hospital stay was nice, but my surgeon was quite rude to me several times. This next point is no one's fault, but as someone from the US, it was really hard for me to talk to people here. Most people either know barely any English or none at all. Lastly, the hotel and hospital’s wifi that I stayed at was really bad so it was hard to stay in touch with my family so they knew I was ok. But, on the brighter side, I would say this trip was a success. This clinic was aggravating at some points and my trip was stressful because of it, but I am happy with my results so far. The hotel I stayed at was of great quality, the only downside to it was the lack of English speaking people like I mentioned earlier. My host was helpful the little time I was with him, and I got all the medications I needed and aftercare instructions easily. It is completely safe and legit, which I was worried about since I found it online. The only actual problem I had was talking with people in Istanbul as an English-speaking solo female traveller from America. I suggest making sure you have some kind of translation app because you will need it a lot, have a good data plan so you can actually use your phone, and make sure you bring plenty of cash (especially if you are getting your operation done during the pandemic). if you don’t mind sometimes having trouble communicating with the people there I would recommend this clinic because my results were really good.

I went to clinic center in december 2019 for a hair transplant procedure.
Before going I had talked to several representatives, sent them my pictures, and received a "Consultation" and they determined that I will be needing a "Mega session" which naturally would cost extra, and was quoted a price.

When I arrived at the airport I was received by a transportation company which took me directly to the "Clinic" it looked more like a beauty salon than a hospital to me but it didn't matter, a few minutes later I met my translator who took me to the trichologist's office to look at me ask me few questions and answer some for me.

There I received my first disappointment, see whatever the number of grafts that you were quoted before coming means nothing I was told they will be able to extract 5 to 6 thousand grafts, the trichologist there said we would only be able to do 3 to 4 thousand from the back of my head and proceeded to look at my chest and other possible donor areas before telling me they can take about a thousand more from my beard.

I asked if it's possible to at least go to the hotel and shower and change before they operated on me as I had just done a 16-hour shift at work (I am a clinical pharmacist) then 8-hour flight and car ride and it was 8 in the morning. They insisted to do the procedure now and I went along.

The trichologist left the office my translator asked me about the payment which I just handed to him in cash in an envelope from my handbag as they told me it's easier to have it cash and in us$ rather than pay in local currency via a card and that there will be extra charges of-course, I also went along.

They drew a small sample for my blood work and I wait there a little the tube of blood that was taken from me did not exceed 20ml in volume yet they claimed they used that sample to test for hepatitis c and deliver 2 prp injections. Highly doubtful but I went along.

I go to the operation room which is just an ordinary room with a bed and a cabin, my blood pressure was going through the roof every time someone came in and out for no reason at all just to look at me or show the person operating on me a video on their phone with little to no hygiene protocol being followed. Again, I went along and didn't complain, nor did I complain about the music being played or the heavy smell of cigarettes coming from the room and the trichologist.

The procedure took about 12 hours from 9 in the morning till 9 in the evening, I had 2 small breaks one of which I was brought a sandwich and a drink which was nice since I was practically starving and sleep deprived. The crew kept asking if I was in any pain to give me more local anaesthesia I was completely feeling some of the areas however that is to my own stubbornness I did not want more local anaesthetic because I knew the swelling is going to be bad the next morning. The part where they were extracting follicles from the lower neck, I felt every follicle being extracted.

What was funny is when we were finished I told them I was feeling really dizzy and there was blood a lot of blood loss they just offered me ibuprofen. No one checked my blood pressure or heart rate or anything. I waddled out of the centre into a taxi which they ordered for me kindly and gave me a bag that contained ibuprofen, antibiotic, ppi and steroid for inflammation. With dosages written on a piece of paper. No antihistamine or any immunosuppressant.

I go to my hotel it's as mentioned, nothing fancy just a regular 3-star hotel no complaints there the staff were nice the view from the hotel was great.

A couple of days of bed rest then I go back for washing and meet a bunch of guys who had done a transplant procedure too and we chat and laugh, I was surprised to see many complained about the plasma injection even tho none had medical background they also suspected something wrong and that they didn't take it. We signed on some paper to say we received it, got our head wash and a small kit that would last about a week that contained two 300-500 ml bottles of foam and gel. We had our inquiries answered and were given some instructions and we went back to the hotel, I had 2 more days left of stay in the hotel which I just sat in my room and only went in the mornings to the restaurant for breakfast.

On the last day, I think my translator came to see me and I talked to him he asked about my experience and informed me about a referral program and I also told him about my concerns, same as I wrote above. On the last day, a car picked me up from the hotel and took me back to the airport.

During the first few months, I was being contacted by a nurse who asked me for pictures and said there is nothing to worry about and all is good and I should see great result, she did not advise me to see a dermatologist or take an antibiotic even though I clearly was having folliculitis.

Forgot to mention I bought a 3-month aftercare package from there and bought another 3 months once I got back to kuwait, the products weren't essential but they were extremely good value for money considering the cost difference in kuwait and from a medical view, these products were of pharmaceutical quality.

Fast forward 18 months later, today is just 15 which is exactly 1 year and 6 months away from my procedure.

There wasn't much contact during that period with the clinic center because every time they contacted me was to write them a review to which I told them I won't before the period to see the final result is over.

I am 60 to 70% happy with the result. I have a hairline but the top of my head is still very much bald and thin, they also missed two spots on the sides that did not receive any transplant and are obviously bald, additionally, the grafts they took from my neck after healing left me with some scarring that looks like alopecia which only allows me to either fully grow my beard or completely shave it to cover the spots. I still look much better than before going there I am happy but I had expected more.

To sum up my experience :
I rate hospitality 4/5: hosts, representatives, even the medical team were all nice and kind. The deduction is for the persistence of marketing offers whether before coming or while there to buy the aftercare products or when I returned to give a review to a procedure that I haven't seen the result of yet.

I rate the transplant procedure 2/5: 1 deducted for not having full transparency with me before getting me to travel and do the procedure, 1 deducted for the discomfort and lack of proper hygiene protocol follow up during the procedure and another 1 deducted for the unsatisfactory result of aftercare.

So in total, it was an alright experience. I hoped for more but I am ok with this. They are still far better than other clinics in Turkey that provide such services.
