Regular Member therealmvp2016 Posted April 9, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Who is considered the top surgeon in Turkey? I've had my sights set on ASMED for over a decade, finally saving enough money for the procedure, and I'm ready to pull the trigger! but the past few months, seen a lot of members complain, not happy about their results in their 5th, 6th, and 7th months POST-OP... also the volume of patients Erdogan takes on, supposedly up to 7-8 per day has alarmed some people. I would like to spend my 8k EUROS very wisely... Which surgeon in Turkey is highly recommended and devotes the proper time to their patients during the procedure?? I'm based in USA, and doing the procedure here/Canada is not an option. I'm not paying $8 graft, don't care how good it looks. Don't want to go to India (had a bad business trip there. bad experience overall in the country). Any other locations abroad to Clinics ? please advise. thank you.

Senior Member harry_potter1 Posted April 9, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted April 9, 2019 ASMED is widely considered the top clinic there for sure. IIRC Dr.Demirsoy & HLC (Dr.Gökhan Dogan & Dr.Özgür Öztan) were once considered almost as good. Dr.Resul Yaman & Dr.Cinik can produce an equally good result with cheaper price but they are even much bigger risk as they are inconsistent in their work. There is few other good clinics that are specialized in Arab patients, have seen some decent results from them, could check it if foryou want. Regarding other places, are you insistent of FUE? I think you can get same price per graft for FUT elsewhere. Hattingen is highly regard in German speaking world and I think they are costing same price for FUT graft as Asmed for FUE graft. I think many other clinics on FUT are producing good results too. I would also advice you to try to look through other non-English speaking forum. There are thousands of HT surgeons out there and there will be always good surgeons that aren't well known to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as researching surgeons that aren't well known? well, honestly, I really don't feel comfortable going to a surgeon that isn't well known. I will look into Demirsoy and the other Turkish ones! thanks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member SM985 Posted April 9, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hi there. Just came across your post. I work in the gulf region of the middle east and had turkey well researched. I think ASMED dominates, but have learned from few here that they are focusing on multiple surgeries a day. I did mine in Jordan with Dr. Taleb Barghouthi which is not far off Turkey in a really well run clinic (one procedure a day, done by doc apart from implanting) and I even shared my story and pics here. I mainly relied on word of mouth in the region but have no regrets so far! A hidden gem and definitely up and coming from what I’m seeing/ hearing locally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted April 9, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted April 9, 2019 Keser is doing great work, but is only great for small cases and his extraction method is at least critically discussed in many online forums. HLC is doing great work. Kaan (ex-HLC) might be worth a look. On the low budget end there is Demirsoy. 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HLC is doing great work. Kaan (ex-HLC) might be worth a look. On the low budget end there is Demirsoy. That would because he only takes small cases as he does the entire thing himself. In fact, it is for that reason he doesn't even advertise or market himself - he doesn't have the time or manpower to take on many people (500 grafts per day max). I'm seeing him in May having already had 4500 grafts done with Asmed. I'll be able to compare the 2 after. Kaan actually worked under Keser also prior to opening his own clinic.

Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted April 9, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) You point is valid, but also the other clinics mentioned by me have the doc doing all or most of the work. KESER is the most extreme and therefore great for small cases but bad for bigger ones. He knows that and typically refuses bigger cases. The critical point discussed with him, is the non rotation extraction method. Kaan worked for both, KESER and HLC.

jonnyalex Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 When I contacted a rep for HLC i found that the doc did not do most of the work and it was 2 different surgeons instead of the recognised one ( who apparently only does BHT now). That completely put me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted April 10, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2019 Correct, they have 3 docs specialized for different cases. But as far as I know most work is done by this surgoens specialized and assigned for your case (and not technicians). There are a lot of patient reports in european forums, so that one can correlate the result to the surgeon. 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
