What patients say about DHI hair transplantation at Memorial Şişli 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. Airport transfers, hotel arrangements, and clinic coordination work smoothly together, with patients calling the overall experience 'beyond praise.'

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Patients consistently describe clinic staff as exceptionally caring and attentive throughout their hair transplant journey. Many feel treated 'like a part of the family' with staff going above and beyond to ensure comfort. One patient noted being greeted 'as a long-awaited guest' with staff constantly checking on wellbeing and offering refreshments. Some mentioned wanting slightly more direct communication with doctors, though this didn't diminish the overall supportive experience. Staff are praised for being 'incredibly professional' and making even nervous patients feel at ease. The comprehensive care extends from airport pickup to post-operative support, with many patients recommending friends based on the exceptional service.

Whether it's the doctors, nurses or reception staff, many other hospitals should take inspiration from the Turkish hospital model
The quality of the hospital service is second to none, with well-organised, highly competent services that are always available to patients. Whether it's the doctors, nurses or reception staff, many other hospitals should take inspiration from the Turkish hospital model. The hospitals are like luxury hotels, you feel good, you are looked after and followed throughout your stay. Finally, the money I spent there was really justified. Thank you to everyone who looked after me during my 14-day stay. Of course I recommend Istanbul Memorial Hospital. Antonio. M

I’m so very glad I had the best doctor and best care
My arrival at Istanbul airport was smooth and efficient. I was met and transported to my hotel. My hotel was lovely. Transportation from hotel to hospitals on time and efficient. I met my advocate at international patient area, she had everything under control, all tests lined up and doctor appointments were fabulous. My advocate translated to my language at every appointment. I’m very happy with the service and I felt very “looked after”. My outcome is excellent and I’m so very glad I had the best doctor and best care.

I honestly had an amazing experience
Having breast reduction and uplift surgery is something that I had wanted for numerous years but due to underlying health conditions I knew it wouldn't be straight forward. When I eventually made the decision I couldn't have made a better decision. From the initial contact and liason s from Bookimed to the transfers, hotel, hospital tests, surgery and post surgery support was more than I could have asked for. The interpreter Bayza was exceptional and made me feel relaxed throughout the process. The hospital staff and especially my surgeon Dr Kadriye who was so friendly and professional throughout. I honestly had an amazing experience. All my health issues were taken very seriously and accommodated for by giving me the relevant tests and aftercare. I would advise from my personal experience to take clothes that button or unzip after surgery .And my must have item would be my neck cushion that I took with me for after surgery for when you have to sleep upright. Memorial Sisli was outstanding. And I am so happy with outcome. Thankyou all . The photos were from the morning of surgery and the 7th day after.
The reassurance,confidence, understanding and professionalism of surgeon. And of course the outcome!
The food on the ward.

Hospital service, competence of doctors and medical staff, support at all levels and on all issues
When preparing for a planned operation, it is necessary to consult specialised specialists at your own expense to evaluate the results of tests and to further determine whether the operation can be performed according to medical indicators. In addition, in the postoperative period, to determine the patient's condition, exclude the risk of infection, etc. - tests and consultations are paid for. And only with a separate agreement with the marketing department, some of them can be taken into account as planned.

The surgery went well and I’m happy with the results so far
I liked my doctor and translator. The doctor had a kind and reassuring energy to him. There were two things that bothered me about the experience.One was having to wait several hours past my scheduled consultation with him after a 16 hr travel period after being brought directly to the hospital. The second was being told they may have to harvest cartilage from my ear or rib minutes before my surgery after being told they would not have to do that during the consultation. That really stressed me out. They wound up not having to do that but it made me feel like they had not prepared properly. That being said, the surgery went well and I’m happy with the results so far. I’m posting this only a week and a half from my surgery date but so far, so good.
Overall, it was saving a substantial amount of money for a good result that I liked the most. It is a great overall value.
The hotel was not so comfortable and communication could’ve been better. However, the results are what matters and given the overall price, I don’t feel like one should complain too much.

The surgeon made my nose look beautiful
The only problem was with the interpreters at the hospital itself. There was supposed to be one girl, they said she was not there, then another girl came, and at the discharge there was another girl. And they took turns asking me "what did that interpreter say" or "what did that interpreter say to you". The hospital itself is very big and reading, on the first day a young man from the staff came up to the clinic and clearly by my running look understood that you need help. Good room, I was with a support group in the form of my mum, she was fed three times a day, had a place to sleep and a nice bathroom. The surgeon made my nose look beautiful, and she was unflappable, in a good way.)

I had an appointment at the Memorial Clinic. Transfer from the hotel to the clinic arrived on time. I myself liked the consultation and the doctor. On this all the positive moments ended. And the full horror has begun !!!! Upon arrival, I went to the reception ... There no one understood who I was and where I was, although everything was agreed in advance. They explained to me with difficulty and an English translator that they needed to go up to the 12th floor, where the same thing happened again ... after some time they sent an English translator, who was also a coordinator, as I understood. After the reception, I asked for the transfer back (which was also agreed in advance), which I was told to call or write to the coordinator with bookimed, which I did ... thanks to Maxim - he was able to contact the main coordinator of the clinic, but she herself I didn’t do anything ... after an HOUR of waiting in the lobby, I called her and asked when the transfer would be, to which they answered me ... sorry, now they won’t pick you up ... will you get there yourself?

Quality of life is very important
With breast reduction I have fulfilled a big wish, even at the age of 66. I can recommend to everyone not to hesitate. Quality of life is very important. Whether it's nose correction or hair growth line. Bookimed helped me with my booking at a package price с : travel, hotel, transfers, doctor/surgery, interpreter immediate. The price/quality ratio is appropriate.
Trust between the doctor and interpreter and the patient.

I got a septorhinoplasty by Dr Mustafa Arkacay, he did an excellent job and I’m extremely happy with the results, super professional and was very direct and good. Now, what I’m not so happy with, is the admin and payment side of this hospital, along with the translators. I paid the full amount quoted the day before my surgery (June 21st), and had the surgery done on June 22nd. The next day after my surgery, while I’m still disoriented and unsure; I was taken to the payment office to make another payment of $179 usd. I wasn’t sure of this charge, as it wasn’t included in my quote, but I paid it because of confusion (mind you I’m by myself). I was then also taken out to the lobby area, with a nose dripping with blood, and told that all cars were busy, and none were able to take me back to my hotel, so I should walk or take the bus (this is told by the translator). I had to contact my coordinator who told me that there’s been a bunch of confusion on the translators part, and she organised it for me (Dilara has been super helpful). Now, I questioned the $179 charge to another translator a few days later, who told me that shouldn’t have happened. So my question is where was this money going to? It’s been nearly 5 months since my surgery, and I’m still yet to see the refund in my account. I’m disappointed to say the least, and while the surgeon was excellent, it’s these experiences that dampen the overall experience. Again, surgeon was 10/10, but the admin and payment system of this hospital is frustrating to say the least. Would definitely be cautious if you’re booking a surgery through them, and make sure not to make any other payments after your surgery (if you’ve already paid in full). I didn’t want to leave a bad review, but I’ve given them so much time to amend this issue, and it’s still not fixed, so what can I do instead of give my honest feedback.
