To the reader who is nervous
To the reader who is nervous, that they’d get their hair botched, or that someone else might do the surgery and question if they are really professionals.
Dr Hakan Clinic is the place to go for exactly those type of over thinkers.
I did so much research on many clinics to the point I was questioning whether the google reviews themselves were real. Then I stumbled across a forum for patients who were recording there journey. The place that caught my attention was Dr Hakan Clinic.
my fellow bros, relax. Breathe in and just let Dr Hakan and his team sort it out. You won’t be disappointed.
By the way my hair looks great, 7 months in :).
In January 2024 I had a hair transplant at Dr. Hakan Clinic in Istanbul, and I can't say enough good things about the entire experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing.
First off, the clinic arranged for my pick-up from the airport, which set the tone for the seamless service that followed. One of my main concerns was the ease of getting to and from the clinic, but this was taken care of beautifully—Dr. Hakan’s clinic is conveniently located in the same building as the Marriott Executive Apartments Istanbul Fulya, where I stayed. This hotel was fantastic—great staff, an amazing atmosphere, and a prime location. But the best part was that it’s right in the same building as the clinic! This made it incredibly easy for me to attend follow-up appointments and post-surgery care sessions without needing to worry about taxis or transportation.
The hair transplant staff at the clinic was wonderful. While not all of them spoke English, the main contact person did, and they were very helpful throughout the entire process. I stayed in Istanbul for two weeks, and during that time, the clinic took excellent care of me. They handled all of my post-surgery care, including washing my head daily until day 10 and helping with the removal of scabs. By the time I flew back, my head looked great—no signs of an open wound, which made the journey home much more comfortable.
If you're considering getting a hair transplant in Canada or the US but are hesitant to try one in Turkey due to some horror stories you've heard, I can confidently say you won't regret choosing Dr. Hakan Clinic. For a fraction of the price you'd pay in Canada, you can experience a first-class treatment: from the flight to the hotel, and most importantly, the hair transplant itself.
I’m writing this review 8 months post-surgery because I wanted to wait until my results were in, and I couldn't be happier. I now have a full head of hair that looks completely natural. I highly recommend Dr. Hakan Clinic if you’re considering a hair restoration procedure in Istanbul. With so many options out there, it can be overwhelming, but this clinic truly stands out.
Don't hesitate—Dr. Hakan and his team are simply the best!

Great natural looking result & lovely caring team
Let me start with the most important thing ... the final result. I had my surgery in June 2023, and it's now March 2024. Nine months have passed, and I am more than excited about the result. I had 3600 grafts implanted at the front and temples, and it looks really great. The shape of the hairline looks natural and the spacing and angle of the individual hairs are good. I'm blond and have very fine hair - and I was told that I didn't have as many double and triple grafts as people with thicker hair, but that doesn't seem to have made a difference for the result. My hairdresser (who's French and gay haha) thinks it's turned out really well. So I take that as a compliment.
As for my time in Istanbul, I have noting put praise for the team. Dr Hakan and Koray Gur, his assistant, were very friendly and always made me feel safe and comfortable. The team who did the actual surgery were all very professional too. I'm not going to lie, parts of the 7 hour surgery were painful ... especially the anaesthetic. But all worth it in the end. The team also supplied medication for the healing period, as well as Finasteride for 9 months.
I did the package with 4 nights at a top hotel + the aftercare package with shampoos and serums etc. I don't know if the care package was strictly necessary. You can find equally good products individually, but it was good not having to think about it. It was great having 4 nights in Istanbul. I never felt rushed, and felt I had time to heal. I didn't leave the hotel after the surgery (it was summer and very hot). But room service was great, and there was a shopping centre in the basement of the hotel.
The followup has also been beyond expectations. Koray has been available on WhatsApp whenever I needed him over the last 9 months to answer questions. He's also reached out now and then to check the progress. It was especially nice to have his support through the first few weeks and months when you shed the hair, and it all feels a bit scary.
I did several months of research before I chose Dr Hakan and chose him from a shortlist of around 10 clinics. His focus on natural looking hairlines, as well as the overall package were the some of the deciding factors. I came across the clinic here on Trustpilot, so I hope my review can be helpful for others.
Great clinic, great team. They did a great job! Highly recommend.

Female Hairtransplant - Top notch experience
I am a 30 year old female from Germany and did my hairtransplant in January 2024 at Dr Hakan Clinic. I had a top notch experience; from first contact till after-care. The communication was fast and efficient - with a high availability any time. My hotel and transfer war organized properly. The team was very professionell, highly empathetic and supportiv. Dr Hakan was always around, leading his team and ensuring a high quality. The briefing documents/videos which i received after the transplant where super helpful. Can highly recommend the clinic. I have reached week 3 and like what i see so far. I am sharing my transplant journey on IG (ay.insights) and tiktok ayinsights.
Hello, I am from Germany, 52 years old and have been suffering from hair loss for decades.
After a long period of research, I decided to consult the hair expert (Clemens Weber). He accompanied me in my search for the right clinic, stay and care. Which worked out excellently!
But now to the actual assessment of the Dr. Hakan Clinic.
Why Dr. Haken? Because I had several doctors to choose from. I had looked at pictures on Dr. Hakan's Instagram page and I liked them very much.
Dr. Hakan and his team gave me a sense of security from the very first minute.
A natural hairline was extremely important to me because I wanted to avoid a reaction like "look he had a HT" and I have seen some accidents at Istanbul airport!
The team and Dr. Hakan took a lot of time before and during the procedure to fulfill this wish.
There was a preliminary examination and my heart, blood pressure and condition were also checked during the operation.
The team carried out the operation, while Dr. Hakan was very often present to check on me and the team and their work. During the operation, I was asked very often by the team and Dr. Hakan whether everything was OK.
As I was going to have up to 5000 grafts, I decided to have two days of surgery.
Which, by the way, should also go into a super session on one day.
I felt a little weaker on the second day and this was also taken into consideration.
In the end, 5300 grafts were transplanted!
Of course, I can't say anything about the result after a week, but I'm really very satisfied with Dr. Hakan's clinic.
Even after the operation, Dr. Hakan and Mr. Weber are always on hand with help and advice.
I would use the clinic again at any time and can only recommend it in terms of service.
If you don't want assembly line work and individual support, this is the right place for you.
This company is top-notch in reliability, providing excellent service with a friendly and efficient approach. The communication is smooth and pleasant, and their quick handling of matters is truly commendable. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking reliability, great service, and swift transactions. My experience was extremely positive, and I'll definitely be returning for future needs.
At the age of 20, I noticed early hair loss in certain areas. Despite consulting numerous doctors in my home country, a hair transplant seemed to be the only working option.
I took the leap, and I would do it again.
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Hakan's hair transplant team.
The entire process, from being picked up at the airport to the hotel, was perfect.
The team was exceptionally friendly, and the operation itself went smoothly.
The instructions provided for the after treatment (at home) were clear and comprehensive.
I consistently received prompt responses whenever I had a question, thats what helped me a lot, as I flew home 3 days after the operation.
Highly recommend their professional and caring approach.
My Hair Transplant Experience with Dr. Hakan’s Clinic
I must admit that I am a very anxious and thoughtful person, which led me to postpone my hair transplant operation from 2017 until I was sure that I wanted to proceed with it. After conducting an extensive search, I found some reassurance in Dr. Hakan’s clinic and came across many positive reviews. Once I communicated with Mr. Koray (the doctor’s assistant) and received his tactful, transparent, and honest answers, all my fears vanished. With Mr. Koray’s assistance, I was able to make all the necessary reservations and appointments. From the moment I arrived at the clinic, I cannot express my sincere gratitude for the professionalism and care that the doctor and his staff provided during my hair transplant procedure. It was my good fortune to have dealt with such a dedicated and skilled team. You made the entire process go better than I expected, and I am even more pleased that my family and friends did not even recognize that I had a hair transplant, even though I have not yet completed two weeks since the procedure. The result has made me very happy and motivated to share my experience with my friends if they ask me for a recommendation or advice. I am eagerly anticipating the final result of the transplant, which is expected to appear after eight months to a year. I am looking forward to discussing it and expressing my opinion on the final outcome.
Thank you again for your excellent work.
I recently had a hair transplant at Dr.Hakan Clinic, and the experience exceeded my expectations. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure care, the staff demonstrated professionalism and expertise. The procedure was thoroughly explained, which eased my concerns and helped me feel prepared. I was particularly impressed with the modern facilities and the emphasis on cleanliness.
The initial results of my hair transplant have been very promising, and the recovery process was smoother than I anticipated. This is all thanks to the detailed aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Hakan and his staff, with special thanks to Koray for his support since the day of the operation. While I understand that it will take approximately five to eight months to fully observe the complete hair regrowth, I am currently satisfied with the progress made so far.

Love the results, amazing team and Clinic
It's now a bit over 2 weeks after my hair restoration. Super happy with them, could not believe how fast everything is going . At my donor area, you don't even notice that they removed there 🤗
Super happy with the results so far and the services, definitely a great Clinic and services.

I couldn't be more happy
I came to Dr hakan clinic from the UK, to repair a hair transplant that was poorly done in another clinic about a year and a half ago.
What I liked about Dr hakan clinic, when I checked his Instagram page, was that all the results looked very natural and they seemed to pay very good attention to detail.
I have to say that from the very first moment I got in touch with them, I was very reassured about their approach and dedication to make the patient happy and, most importantly, with honesty. I sent them my photos and the feedback I got back from the doctor was very insightful and made so much sense. They told me that some of the grafts that were placed on the hairline in my previous operation, had to be removed because they were placed too low, making my hairline look unnatural. They also warned me that the frontal extraction could leave some small marks or some redness that might stay there permanently; they even sent me photos of a similar case so I could have a better idea of how it might look. This was a very good sign for me; the fact that they were being so honest, instead of just trying to convince me of going with them (like every single clinic so far had done), was what made me take my final decision and choose Dr hakan.
The day of the surgery, the doctor and his assistant spent about 45 min carefully planning and discussing what would be my new hairline and how the surgery was going to be performed. They both speak good English and they were speaking and explaining everything to me all the time. They also asked me how I felt about everything and I was able to participate on the planning too. They made me feel really good and cared after the whole time.
The surgery went smoothly, very little pain, and the doctor and his assistant were very involved during the whole time, making sure everything was being done according to plan and talking me through the whole process.
Compared to my first surgery, the recovery was super quick and I almost have no redness, swelling, or shock loss, because they were very careful and gentle when they performed the surgery.
After the surgery, they explained in detail all the after care process and provided me with all the products I needed for it. This was two weeks ago and they have been in touch through WhatsApp constantly since, to check on me and make sure everything is going well.
The final result will show in a few months yet, but I couldn't be more happy already and it's looking great. I can tell it's going to look very good.
I honestly think Dr hakan deserves all the praise and attention and he will be soon at the very top of the list when people talk about the best hair transplant clinics in Turkey and perhaps in the world.
To him and all his team, I have nothing but love and a huge thank you!
When looking for a clinic to do my hair transplant, I was first in contact with many of the large, well-known clinics that have large followings on social media — however, I was not impressed with the results of their patients, the results were not natural looking.
I stumbled upon Dr. Hakan’s instagram page and immediately felt that this was the clinic that I needed to go to. Within minutes, I was in contact with Koray, who was super helpful and knowledgeable about all of my questions. We chatted for a couple of weeks, and by then I had booked my flights and accommodation a month in advance; Koray’s kindness and knowledge is one of the reasons I felt at ease about choosing Dr Hakan Clinic.
Upon arrival in Istanbul, getting from the airport, to the city, to the clinic was a breeze. On the day of my procedure, I met with Koray and Dr Hakan, we went over my scenario and plans for the procedure, and then went into surgery. The entire team was very hospitable and professional, the experience of the procedure was positive and relaxed. The hotel/accommodation was next door to the clinic, so transportation was not a concern. Dr Hakan and Koray give me a list of after-care steps to follow for the period after the surgery.
I am about 6 weeks post-procedure, and I am in consistent communication with Koray, who answers any questions I have. I am looking forward to my results, as well as sharing them with Dr Hakan. I also look forward to possibly having another procedure in the future. I would recommend Dr Hakan Clinic and am pleased with my decision to go there.
