Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul serves as Turkey's primary hub for complex craniofacial surgery, housing more JCI-accredited hospitals than any other Turkish city.

Expert surgeons such as Halil Ibrahim Canter, a US-fellowship trained craniofacial specialist, provide high-volume expertise often unavailable at smaller regional clinics.
