ak438 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Hi, I wanted to share my experience of Esma Serkan Tetik in Antalya, Turkey. I chose this clinic based on some reviews that indicated that it wasn't your typical hair mill and that they actually took time and care in their plantings, and at reasonable rates too (3000$), I had approx 3450 grafts implanted and must say throughout the process they were making sure that my needs were fulfilled (akin to being treated like a guest vs a customer I would say). The most important reason for me selecting this clinic was that they divide the operation into 2 days (biggest proof IMO that it's not a hairmill) and my total operation must have been in excess of 14 hours which I believe is a good thing. The hair planting is done by Mrs. Esma and the local anesthesia by Mr. Serkan. Both are experienced, and Mrs. Esma especially is highly skilled and takes great care when extracting and planting the grafts with the DHI method. The 2 female assistants are also very nice people. I am not finished with my post and will update later. Edited October 27, 2021 by ak438 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi yes, you are correct they are not doctors and Mrs. Esma is a nurse. However this was the price quoted to me as an international patient from UK. I'm aware their price for locals is considerably lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted October 27, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2021 We had already heard about it by @Portugal25and very well, they have a lot of reports on a Turkish forum it seems to me, I was wondering why they have lower prices for the locals?

Senior Member Portugal25 Posted October 27, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) @ak438 what @digi23 said is true their prices were 1500€ for all inclusive DHI so it’s strange you paid 3000USD. They are nurses and not Doctors but they have operated on the Administrator of the Turkish hairloss forum and have consistently achieved decent results. I usually recommend them when I speak with someone that’s solely focused on price because it’s much better to go to Esma&Serkan than a hairmill that charges the same but has underpaid technicians doing surgeries without any medical background. Actually they have results on the Turkish forum that are better than several HT Doctors. We have to understand that for a Turkish national going to a Doctor like Dr. Bicer that charges 1.5€/graft is almost impossible because the average monthly wages are about 200€ which is why they have to go to Nurses or hairmills where they know the tech team that will do their surgery.

Maybe they increased their prices, also to be more transparent; I was quoted 3000 USD, but paid 2500 USD (they discounted it for me). It was actually your post on a different thread that motivated me to go to E&S Tetik wherein you mentioned these points.
