What patients report about Dt. Gültekin Daylan
Patients report that Dr. Gültekin Daylan displays a poor and "not at all understanding" bedside manner, particularly regarding patient anxiety. Reviewers also describe "incorrect treatments" and a "commercial" approach where the clinic demands payment, allegedly leaving patients "stranded on the table" and charging a VAT fee without issuing a receipt or invoice. Additionally, one reviewer noted that a filling for their son "fell out" shortly after treatment.
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 Dt. Gültekin Daylan 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 Dt. Gültekin Daylan's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

They said it couldn't be reopened and repaired, it needed to be extracted and an implant placed. They also advised me to go to a university hospital. In another clinic in Sancaktepe, they remov"

"I went to see Dr. Gültekin for an dental check-up. Even though I mentioned my fear of dentists before the examination, he was not at all understanding. I was very dissatisfied and I have not gone back, nor will I ever go back."

"The doctor has no polite communication style. They perform incorrect treatments on teeth. They literally cut your teeth and gums, then demand money, leaving you stranded on the table. If you don't pay, they won't do the procedure. You'll regret going there."

"We went there based on reviews, but it wasn't what I expected. My son's filling fell out, and of course, I had it done elsewhere, so I didn't choose that place. Through my research, I found this place. Yes, they were friendly and hygienic, but of course, being a private clinic, they have to be. This"

"A full-fledged commercial establishment is requesting money without any transaction being completed, and in return, neither a receipt nor an invoice is issued; instead, a VAT fee is charged for the invoice."
