What patients report about Belde Tıp Merkezi
Patients at Belde Tıp Merkezi report a pattern of rude and unhelpful staff, with one reviewer noting "the people answering the phone are very rude" and another describing the doctor as "very indifferent, giving mocking answers."

We quote the actual 1–2★ reviews below so you can verify each one yourself, and weigh them against a clinic with a clean record.
Who treats you — and who is accountable
The biggest divide in Turkish dentistry is whether a named specialist treats you start-to-finish, or your case is assigned within a rotating team. At Taki Dent, Prof. Dr. Sadık Taki — a specialist prosthodontist with 17 peer-reviewed publications and Turkish Dental Association membership — personally assesses, treats and follows up every case and stays reachable on WhatsApp, so the person who consents your plan is the one accountable for it. Ask Belde Tıp Merkezi for the name of the individual dentist who will perform your surgery, and verify their register entry.
Guarantee & aftercare
Taki Dent's guarantee is written and tiered — a lifetime manufacturer warranty on implant components and a 5–10 year guarantee on crowns and veneers — and for a significant issue it covers a free return trip for corrective treatment, activated by the treating doctor himself. Every patient also receives a serialised implant passport. Get Belde Tıp Merkezi's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Last night, I went to this medical center for my mother's emergency room visit due to her illness. We went with complaints of vomiting and diarrhea. They did an ECG, said there was a slight fluctuation, suggested taking her to a more specialized hospital, and charged 2000 TL. We went to the hospital"

"It was my first time going there. My overall impression was not positive at all. The nurses were clueless. Everyone was detached. Even when it was quiet, the level of attention was very weak. The staff seemed quite unhappy. I didn't like it 👎"

"The people answering the phone are very rude. I asked two doctors to find out the examination fees. They said, "I guess you work at a hospital, so we can't give you pricing information." What nonsense! First, put people who know how to deal with people and can give proper information on the phone, o"
