My experience with this clinic has been fantastic! Thank you so much, Dr. Ikram, for your excellent work. My surgery went very smoothly, and I’m very happy with both the result and the fast recovery. I also want to thank my super sweet and kind nurse, she was truly the best, helping me throughout the entire in-clinic post-op period. The whole staff is amazing; they genuinely care for their patients in every aspect. You can feel the kindness and dedication they put into their work , you are never left alone. I highly recommend this clinic and will personally return again because this was such a wonderful experience. Thank you to Dr. Ikram, the anesthesiologist, the entire medical staff, the nurses, and my medical consultants. The clinic itself is very well kept, everything is spotless and my private room was spacious and comfortable enough to also accommodate my husband. Everything was provided for me, nothing was overlooked. From the very first visit to the last check-up with my doctor, I felt completely cared for. This was my very first surgery, and I want to thank everyone for being so kind and reassuring. Professionalism and humanity are truly the main qualities of this clinic and its staff.

Dr. B and his entire staff have been wonderful. Dr. B went out of his way to help me achieve a fantastic result. I am 57 and he has made me look 37 in the face and body. He has an incredible eye and developed a plan that entailed the least amount of cutting, bruising, and swelling, all for a reasonable price. İ highly recommend Dr. B and his amazing staff.

My dad and I both came here for hair transplant and it’s been an amazing process so far! Can’t thank the team enough. Dr. Çağla was super friendly and explained everything in details and Zarina was our translator and point of contact and she has been great too! The clinic has been sending their personal driver to pick us up for the after care, for washing and scalp treatment in the package! Also Dr. Sadik is a cool person and he was super nice and friendly too and we are very happy with everything and would highly recommend Estetik International!

SAT IN A DOGS WET SPOT IN DOCTORS CHAIR HOURS BEFORE SURGERY?!? I’m sad about my experience here. I tried to reach out many times for aftercare concerns and got no response. If you trust professionals with your body, the care shouldn’t end when you leave the hospital. Support should be offered continually throughout. There are many holes in the patient experience that need to be mended. Not to mention, my surgeon has dogs in his office and I sat in a wet spot hours before surgery. I consider this unsanitary

The hotel was excellent and the hospital itself was excellent. Unfortunately, I am very unhappy with the results of my operation to reduce the skin and fat from my chest. Despite clearly explaining how I wished it to look, my concerns were completely ignored by Dr Ikram. I will say that the stomach looks reasonably good after the tummy tuck, but overall I feel very disappointed with the chest results. Please also be aware that while the hospital and care during the stay were excellent, once you leave Turkey the aftercare is virtually non-existent. When I experienced complications, Estetik simply WhatsApped me advising that I should see a doctor in my own country. They showed absolutely no interest in helping me further. Extremely disappointing experience.
