What patients report about Özel Emir Maya Ağız ve Diş Sağlığı Polikliniği
Reviewers report significant delays, with one noting they waited 40 minutes without explanation despite arriving early, and another describing a one-hour wait as "unacceptable." Several reviews allege price discrepancies, including a quote of 377,000 TL given to a patient from abroad, whom the reviewer felt was treated as "a gullible customer just because he came from overseas." A further complaint describes a "simple procedure like retainer repair" causing severe pain, with the dentist labelled "the most amateur doctor I've ever seen."
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 Özel Emir Maya Ağız ve Diş Sağlığı Polikliniği 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 Özel Emir Maya Ağız ve Diş Sağlığı Polikliniği's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"First of all, being 15-20 minutes late for an appointment is fine, but waiting an hour is unacceptable. I understand they act according to the procedure to be performed on the patient.

"I can't imagine what other procedures a doctor would perform if he could cause me this much pain even with a simple procedure like retainer repair. He was the most amateur doctor I've ever seen.
