Outstanding Experience with Turkeymed
I had an excellent experience with Turkeymed from start to finish. The entire nursing team was professional, caring, and highly attentive, making me feel comfortable and supported throughout every step of my hair transplant journey.
A special thank you to Ahmed and Vance, who truly went above and beyond. Their professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care made the whole process seamless and stress-free. They took the time to explain everything, ensured I was comfortable at all times, and made me feel well looked after from day one.
The level of organisation, hygiene, and attention to detail was outstanding. I always felt I was in safe and experienced hands. I’m very happy with how well I was accommodated and supported, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
I highly recommend Turkeymed to anyone considering a hair transplant. The team truly cares about their patients, and it shows. Thank you again to everyone involved — especially Ahmed and Vance.
I recently had a fantastic experience at TurkeyMed and felt compelled to share.
I started researching hair transplants about six months ago. Living in the United States, the cost is exponentially higher than Turkey, so my focus quickly shifted to Istanbul. Plus, Turkey has developed unrivaled proficiency in hair transplants.
After reviewing before-and-after pictures and countless Reddit threads, I reached out to several clinics: Smile, Cosmedica, Vera Clinic, TurkeyMed, Hair of Istanbul, Now Hair Time, and Dr. Serkan Aygin. I emailed them with pictures and my information, requesting a quote. I wanted a proposal in black and white—price and estimated number of grafts.
TurkeyMed was among the most responsive of all the clinics. I ultimately chose them because their price and value proposition was unbeatable. But even more critically, their results seemed just as impressive as the others, if not more so. And despite the low price, this would be a DHI procedure, which many clinics charge more for.
My assessment was that TurkeyMed's capabilities were nearly identical to other clinics, but their actual clinic isn't quite as fancy and luxurious, leading to the lower price. I was drawn to the beautiful clinics of Vera and Cosmedica, but didn't think it was worth paying twice the price if the results would be the same.
I proposed December dates. Getting to Istanbul was a journey—a 10-hour red-eye from Los Angeles to London, six hours in Heathrow, then another 4-hour red-eye to Istanbul. I landed at 5:30am Monday as a worn-out zombie.
I was picked up within five minutes of going to the meeting point. Great first impression. Given the price I paid, having to wait for a bit would have been reasonable, especially arriving so early, but I was grateful, especially after 20+ hours of travel.
As the only passenger, I was driven to the clinic near the central business district. I arrived around 7am and the team had arrived early to accommodate me.
The initial consultation was kept short since they knew I was exhausted. We discussed and agreed upon the hairline and distribution.
The driver picked me up at 7:30am the next morning for the procedure. Again, I was the only one in the van—for every single ride actually. Three other procedures were happening that day but mine was the only one beginning that early. This felt nothing like a "hair mill" experience.
My translator, Zane, was always there to greet me and communicate throughout the procedure. "Okay now they are going to start pre-anesthesia...now the anesthesia..." This helped alleviate nerves. They really do coddle you.
The female technicians were true professionals. Two did the extraction, three did the implantation. They were talking and joking, which I've read bothered some people (understandable), but I didn't mind. I'm happy they felt comfortable and in a state of flow. Extraction took 1.5 hours, implantation took 3 hours. They worked fast, but it didn't feel rushed.
They fed me lunch afterward. I'm glad we didn't break between extraction and implantation since the less time grafts are outside your head, the better.
The next day they changed my bandage. On the fourth day they did the first wash. They gave me a two-month supply of special foam, shampoo, and supplements.
Overall, very positive. They made me feel valued and never made me wait. What I received reflected a high-end, five-star experience—not in terms of fancy facilities, but in treatment, communication, and care.
I hesitated for years on getting a hair transplant, I researched many clinics for months, and finally found TurkeyMed. From the moment I exited the airport I was collected by a friendly driver who took me directly to TurkeyMed for a quick examination and to meet the team. I was pleasantly surprised that I had a single contact throughout the entire process, Zen, who was very polite, easy to speak with and clear up any concerns. This was a big decision for me and I was initially quite nervous. However, after speaking with the team they quickly put me at ease.
Now I'm back home and almost 1 month later I'm shocked at the results and how incredible it's looking even at such an early stage.
It has given me back my confidence and totally transformed my life.
I highly recommend TurkeyMed to anyone contemplating a hair transplant.
