What patients report about Estoria Polikliniği
Based solely on the 1-2 star reviews, patients at Estoria Polikliniği report that treatments fail or worsen their condition, with one reviewer stating their "blemishes increased" after a laser package and another noting Botox "completely wear off in a month." Multiple reviewers also describe poor communication and bait-and-switch issues, including being sold expired products and discovering the clinic had moved branches without prior notice. A recurring theme is that the clinic fails to resolve problems when raised, as one reviewer said they "mentioned it to them" only to have the issue recur after a repeat procedure.
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 Estoria 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 Estoria Polikliniği's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I had Botox done here, and for the first time in my life, I've seen Botox completely wear off in a month. I mentioned it to them, and since they noticed, they repeated the procedure, but the second time it also completely wore off before a month was up. They need to change the ingredients they use. "
