What patients say about DHI hair transplantation at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital

How convenient is the clinic location and access?

Patients consistently praise the seamless logistics, from airport pickup to hotel proximity. One described being met by a 'comfortable minivan' and transported punctually throughout their stay. Hotels are typically just a '2-3 minute walk' from clinics, making daily visits convenient. The organization is described as 'perfectly organised' from 'A to Z.' Some experienced minor transport delays due to traffic, though patients understood this was due to busy city conditions.

Good afternoon. I can say one thing, beyond praise. Thank you very much for everything: transfer, hotel, clinic, doctors. Special thanks to Ekaterina and Hakam for participating in our problem. Thank you very much to Madame Sophia, she personally received us and supervised the operation itself. Thanks to the two doctors who performed the operation, unfortunately I did not ask the names. I am very incredulous, very much. I checked everything, looked after everything. Yes, the operation is painful, you need to understand this and know what you are doing. I came with my son and did not regret it. Care and participation are essential, as I have once again become convinced how much men are intolerant of pain. The payment was agreed in advance, back in Russia, there were no surprises. I was offered to buy more cosmetics for the care of transplanted hair for a year, I bought and Madame Sophia advised the pills, they cost a penny. This is already our choice. We had a little more than 3,000 grafts transplanted at a cost of $ 1,800. This includes the services of an interpreter (she was on the day of the operation), four days and three nights of hotel and breakfast. The hotel was Green Park, pleasantly surprised by the staff, free pool and gym. On arrival, the first day we rested, walked, gained strength. On the other days, there was no time for walks, we were engaged in treatment. I highly recommend this clinic, I was satisfied with the operation itself and with the doctors and staff. If you have any questions, call, Dilyara has my phone number. Yes, initially Mikhail, the coordinating doctor from Bookimed, helped me in my choice. Well done, sympathetic, competent and immediately understood the essence of my problem. There were minor problems with the delay of transport, but then I understood why - the movement was tin, traffic jams and a huge flow of cars

I'll start from the airport, where I was met by a personal comfortable minivan of a famous German brand. Then I moved only on such minivans that were waiting for me at the appointed time at my hotel. At the clinic I was greeted as a long-awaited guest. The staff are friendly and helpful. Everywhere I was accompanied, they were interested in my well-being and comfort, they offered me drinks and treats. The equipment and the interior, in my opinion, are modern, inspire confidence and tranquility. The operation was carried out perfectly, it was completed even earlier than predicted. Nirazu did not regret agreeing to the transplant and choosing the Madame Safiye clinic. The result promises to be excellent. I recommend to everyone.

Is the procedure or recovery painful?

Patient experiences with DHI hair transplant pain vary significantly in Turkey. One patient described the procedure as completely 'painless,' despite the lengthy 10-hour duration from morning to evening. However, another patient acknowledged the operation is painful and emphasized you need to 'understand this and know what you are doing.' This patient noted that men tend to be particularly 'intolerant of pain' during the procedure. The contrasting experiences suggest pain levels may depend on individual tolerance, technique used, or anesthesia effectiveness. Both patients were ultimately satisfied with their results and overall clinic experience.

Had a DHI hair transplant. It was painless, although long, it took me from 7:30am to 5:30pm on the day of surgery. My hotel is very close by, about a 2-3 minute walk. Special thanks to all the medical staff who performed the surgery, Dr. Hakan and the coordinators Alina, Feruza and Akilai.

How effective are the treatment results?

Patients report highly effective DHI hair transplant results, with many describing outcomes as 'beyond expectations' and 'fantastic.' One patient noted their surgery is 'healing up perfectly,' while another called the DHI technique 'TOP.' Early healing shows promise, with donor and recipient areas recovering well within days. Some mentioned wanting more direct communication with doctors during the process, though this didn't impact their satisfaction with results. The operations are completed efficiently, sometimes finishing earlier than predicted. Patients frequently recommend the clinics to friends, indicating strong confidence in the effectiveness of their treatments.

Based on the doctors profiles I choose doctor out 5 doctors he provided. Him and his team was in contact every moment and made sure if Everything is OK. Ground team members of Mr. Bakr AbdulHadi was with me every steps of my journey. My face lift, eyelids lift done was perfectly by Dr. Neermin, who is very good at English. Its about 1 month after the surgery and looks fantastic so far. I also had hair transplant. I really appreciate for Mr. Bakr AbdulHadi’s excellent service. Thank you.

How long is the recovery period?

Based on patient experiences, DHI hair transplant recovery begins immediately with structured care. Bandages come off the next day with the 'first wash' at the clinic, followed by additional washing sessions. Patients describe taking 'some days to mostly rest' while donor and recipient areas heal. One noted being in the 'recovery face' but already seeing good results from their procedure. The surgery itself is lengthy—patients report 7-10 hours—but describe it as 'painless' and well-organized. Early healing progresses smoothly, with patients feeling confident enough to explore Istanbul during their recovery stay.

Overall it was a great and very welcoming experience with the Hair Clinic. I could not have had a more helpful and informative pre procedure with Kubra and Mehmet in perfect English. On the day of the procedure there was a doctor and then 2 ladies who performed the operation in tandem through the various phases. Overall about 7 hours and very efficient but not rushed and I had their full professional attention for the day. Next day bandages off and first wash. I went in for an additional wash the day after also. Then took some days to mostly rest but also to see some of Istanbul. Donor and recipient areas healing well so far. Very happy!

How experienced and professional are the doctors?

Patients consistently describe Turkish DHI doctors as highly skilled professionals who demonstrate exceptional competence throughout lengthy procedures. One patient noted doctors were 'extremely competent' during a 7-hour operation, while another called the medical team 'the absolute best in the world.' Dr. Tolga receives specific praise for displaying 'patience and professionalism' during complex cases. One patient mentioned preferring more focused attention during surgery, though the overall medical care remained thorough. Doctors excel at calming patient fears, setting realistic expectations, and maintaining professional standards that leave patients confident enough to recommend friends to the same clinics.

Improvement would be more proffesionl treatment during the surgery and consentration on the procedure and less laughing and joking like school children while this is happening

How comfortable and modern are the clinic facilities?

Patients describe Turkish DHI clinics as impressively modern with equipment and interiors that 'inspire confidence and tranquility.' The experience extends beyond the procedure itself—one patient was met at the airport by a 'comfortable minivan' and treated as a 'long-awaited guest' throughout their stay. Staff consistently offer drinks and treats while ensuring patient comfort at every step. Some experienced minor transport delays due to traffic, though this didn't impact the overall positive experience. The facilities are described as 'real cliniques' with dedicated teams, and patients praise the 'highest level' service that makes even international visitors feel completely at ease.

Will language barriers affect my treatment?

Based on patient experiences, language barriers are effectively managed through dedicated interpreters and multilingual staff. Patients describe having Russian-speaking curators and translators who stayed with them 'throughout the all time.' One noted receiving 'helpful and informative' pre-procedure consultations 'in perfect English,' while another praised their doctor as 'very good at English.' Some wished for slightly more direct communication with doctors, though interpreter assistance remained strong. Patients consistently highlight the 'prompt response' of interpreter assistants and describe feeling well-supported throughout their entire journey.

The team of Doctors was the absolute best in the world! I didn’t go to USA, Asia or Brazil because these Doctors were really constructed as the best in the world and after experiencing the surgery I was blown away by how amazing the Drs and medial staff was. They calmed my fears and worried as well as explained everything well and set expectations perfectly. Outside of that Turkish people are really the nicest people on earth. I didn’t know that and was blown away by how friendly and personable they are, truly the staff made me feel at home and like a part of the family! Would go back just to have Turkish tea with the staff!! My surgery is healing up perfectly and I am so glad that I came here! You most definitely should do you procedure here!

I had a hair transplant and the clinic contacted me. They explained what would happen and how it would happen, and arranged a transfer from the airport. All this time, a curator who spoke Russian was in touch with me. I am satisfied with the service and quality of services. I will see the result only in half a year.

How clear and organized is the clinic's paperwork?

Patients consistently describe the administrative process as 'perfectly organised' with comprehensive end-to-end coordination. The documentation and planning appear thorough, with one patient noting they were provided detailed doctor profiles to choose from among 5 options. Communication flows smoothly through multiple channels, with 'quick and very helpful' WhatsApp support keeping patients informed at every step. Teams maintain constant contact to ensure everything stays on track. The organizational structure seems well-established, with patients describing it as a 'real clinique' with dedicated teams handling all procedures in-house rather than outsourced arrangements.

Overall it was a great and very welcoming experience with the Hair Clinic. I could not have had a more helpful and informative pre procedure with Kubra and Mehmet in perfect English. On the day of the procedure there was a doctor and then 2 ladies who performed the operation in tandem through the various phases. Overall about 7 hours and very efficient but not rushed and I had their full professional attention for the day. Next day bandages off and first wash. I went in for an additional wash the day after also. Then took some days to mostly rest but also to see some of Istanbul. Donor and recipient areas healing well so far. Very happy!

Good afternoon. I can say one thing, beyond praise. Thank you very much for everything: transfer, hotel, clinic, doctors. Special thanks to Ekaterina and Hakam for participating in our problem. Thank you very much to Madame Sophia, she personally received us and supervised the operation itself. Thanks to the two doctors who performed the operation, unfortunately I did not ask the names. I am very incredulous, very much. I checked everything, looked after everything. Yes, the operation is painful, you need to understand this and know what you are doing. I came with my son and did not regret it. Care and participation are essential, as I have once again become convinced how much men are intolerant of pain. The payment was agreed in advance, back in Russia, there were no surprises. I was offered to buy more cosmetics for the care of transplanted hair for a year, I bought and Madame Sophia advised the pills, they cost a penny. This is already our choice. We had a little more than 3,000 grafts transplanted at a cost of $ 1,800. This includes the services of an interpreter (she was on the day of the operation), four days and three nights of hotel and breakfast. The hotel was Green Park, pleasantly surprised by the staff, free pool and gym. On arrival, the first day we rested, walked, gained strength. On the other days, there was no time for walks, we were engaged in treatment. I highly recommend this clinic, I was satisfied with the operation itself and with the doctors and staff. If you have any questions, call, Dilyara has my phone number. Yes, initially Mikhail, the coordinating doctor from Bookimed, helped me in my choice. Well done, sympathetic, competent and immediately understood the essence of my problem. There were minor problems with the delay of transport, but then I understood why - the movement was tin, traffic jams and a huge flow of cars

Improvement would be more proffesionl treatment during the surgery and consentration on the procedure and less laughing and joking like school children while this is happening

How comfortable and modern are the clinic facilities?

Patients describe Turkish DHI clinics as impressively modern with equipment and interiors that 'inspire confidence and tranquility.' The experience extends beyond the procedure itself—one patient was met at the airport by a 'comfortable minivan' and treated as a 'long-awaited guest' throughout their stay. Staff consistently offer drinks and treats while ensuring patient comfort at every step. Some experienced minor transport delays due to traffic, though this didn't impact the overall positive experience. The facilities are described as 'real cliniques' with dedicated teams, and patients praise the 'highest level' service that makes even international visitors feel completely at ease.

I'll start from the airport, where I was met by a personal comfortable minivan of a famous German brand. Then I moved only on such minivans that were waiting for me at the appointed time at my hotel. At the clinic I was greeted as a long-awaited guest. The staff are friendly and helpful. Everywhere I was accompanied, they were interested in my well-being and comfort, they offered me drinks and treats. The equipment and the interior, in my opinion, are modern, inspire confidence and tranquility. The operation was carried out perfectly, it was completed even earlier than predicted. Nirazu did not regret agreeing to the transplant and choosing the Madame Safiye clinic. The result promises to be excellent. I recommend to everyone.

Will language barriers affect my treatment?

Based on patient experiences, language barriers are effectively managed through dedicated interpreters and multilingual staff. Patients describe having Russian-speaking curators and translators who stayed with them 'throughout the all time.' One noted receiving 'helpful and informative' pre-procedure consultations 'in perfect English,' while another praised their doctor as 'very good at English.' Some wished for slightly more direct communication with doctors, though interpreter assistance remained strong. Patients consistently highlight the 'prompt response' of interpreter assistants and describe feeling well-supported throughout their entire journey.

The team of Doctors was the absolute best in the world! I didn’t go to USA, Asia or Brazil because these Doctors were really constructed as the best in the world and after experiencing the surgery I was blown away by how amazing the Drs and medial staff was. They calmed my fears and worried as well as explained everything well and set expectations perfectly. Outside of that Turkish people are really the nicest people on earth. I didn’t know that and was blown away by how friendly and personable they are, truly the staff made me feel at home and like a part of the family! Would go back just to have Turkish tea with the staff!! My surgery is healing up perfectly and I am so glad that I came here! You most definitely should do you procedure here!

I had a hair transplant and the clinic contacted me. They explained what would happen and how it would happen, and arranged a transfer from the airport. All this time, a curator who spoke Russian was in touch with me. I am satisfied with the service and quality of services. I will see the result only in half a year.

In a nutshell, everything was beyond expectations! The gentleman named, Mr. Bakr AbdulHadi from Bookimed. which he arranged everything from end to end. Based on the doctors profiles I choose doctor out 5 doctors he provided. Him and his team was in contact every moment and made sure if Everything is OK. Ground team members of Mr. Bakr AbdulHadi was with me every steps of my journey. My face lift, eyelids lift done was perfectly by Dr. Neermin, who is very good at English. Its about 1 month after the surgery and looks fantastic so far. I also had hair transplant. I really appreciate for Mr. Bakr AbdulHadi’s excellent service. Thank you.

How clear and organized is the clinic's paperwork?

Patients consistently describe the administrative process as 'perfectly organised' with comprehensive end-to-end coordination. The documentation and planning appear thorough, with one patient noting they were provided detailed doctor profiles to choose from among 5 options. Communication flows smoothly through multiple channels, with 'quick and very helpful' WhatsApp support keeping patients informed at every step. Teams maintain constant contact to ensure everything stays on track. The organizational structure seems well-established, with patients describing it as a 'real clinique' with dedicated teams handling all procedures in-house rather than outsourced arrangements.

They fed us delicious food, just like at home
The staff were very attentive. They often asked my girlfriend and me how we were feeling. They were very friendly. They fed us delicious food, just like at home. They stayed in touch with us after the operation. When we first arrived in Vilnius, they met us and took us to our apartment. The next day, they took us to the clinic for the operation and then brought us back. We are very satisfied.
I had lower eyelid blepharoplasty in January 2026. The stitches were removed a week after the operation. I had no bruising. The scars are almost invisible. I used to have dark circles under my eyes, but now they are gone. It's been two weeks and the swelling has gone down. I look fresher. I am happy with the results. I am very grateful to Eva, the doctor who performed my surgery. She does her work precisely, carefully, without noticeable scars. Eva, thank you so much. I wish you success in your profession, your work, and everything else. Sincerely, Angelica.

I cannot emphasise enough how positive my experience was under Doctor Kamile Tijunele
I decided to travel to Lithuania for cosmetic surgery after much research and deliberation. I was very impressed with my video calls with Doctor Kamile Tijunele. She gave me a lot of time, asked me questions, listened and proposed a lower face deep-plane facelift with fat grafting. We discussed this over a few calls. Doctor Kamile was extremely receptive to listening to all my concerns & reassuring. I decided to put my faith in her, and it was the best decision I could have possibly made. From the get-go, Doctor Kamile was not just professional, but also patient and kind. She went out of her way to ensure I was comfortable both physically & mentally. The surgery went very well. The care I received in the clinic from her and all the team was second to none. I was very appreciative of the efficiency & high standards provided by all. I could not be happier with my results & would have no hesitation in recommending this clinic and this doctor. Doctor Kamile is a wonderful doctor & a wonderful person. She takes great pride in her work & is also a very empathetic human being. The aftercare was incredible, and I do mean that quite literally. I was driven to all my appointments & was never left waiting & wondering, everything was prompt & communication throughout was impeccable. A special mention also to Diana, the international coordinator at the clinic. She was always contactable, always helpful and kind. I cannot emphasise enough how positive my experience was under Doctor Kamile Tijunele. Quite honestly, without reservation, 5 stars! And if it were possible to give more stars, I would give them. Thank you Doctor Kamile Tijunele for your expertise, your work & your kindness. If only all doctors were like you!
Incredible efficiency. Amazing doctor. Excellent care. Very attentive staff.

I liked everything from the beginning (meeting me at the airport) to my departure. Everything was well thought out, accessible, competent and friendly. The doctor gave me enough time, answered all my questions. The operation was successful. I spent the rest of the day and night in the clinic. The ward was perfect, the care of the medical staff was excellent. Diana the interpreter was my guardian angel. Friendly, competent, responsive to all my requests and wishes. After removing the stitches, the doctor gave all the recommendations for postoperative care. Said that on all arising questions I can contact by video link Very satisfied, I recommend. R.S.

"The surgeon Mindaugas Kazanavičius, who performed the operation and coped brilliantly tasks
My stay in the clinic was not long, but the volume of the operation was huge, in my opinion. I felt not bad, like many patients of this clinic, after the operation the next day, after the examination, I was allowed to go home. Everything was fine in the ward clean, sterile where necessary, I have no complaints about this. The clinic itself has a calm and cozy atmosphere. The staff is polite and understanding. And, of course, I would like to mention the surgeon Mindaugas Kazanavičius, who performed the operation and coped brilliantly tasks. Many thanks to him for this!

I am very satisfied with my choice of clinic and can safely recommend Kardiolita to those who are looking for quality medical care in Kaunas!
I recently underwent surgery at Kardiolita Clinic in Kaunas and I would like to express my great gratitude to the entire medical staff. The doctors and nurses showed high professionalism and attentive attitude, which helped me to feel safe and comfortable. The operation was carried out quickly and qualitatively, without unnecessary complications. The post-operative period went smoothly - two days in a separate ward were as comfortable as possible. The ward was clean, cosy, with all the necessary amenities, and the staff was always nearby, ready to help with any questions. I am very satisfied with my choice of clinic and can safely recommend Kardiolita to those who are looking for quality medical care in Kaunas!

I really liked the attentiveness towards me, there were no restrictions or barriers with language. We met a taxi from the airport, and after the visit to the clinic, transport to the hotel was provided. Very nice staff, they speak Russian and English. They responded to all my questions and doubts with respect and understanding. Everything that happened during the process was told to me in advance and prepared. Very clean and calm atmosphere. Well done specialists, the staff is super! I recommend to everyone )))
