What patients report about Şehzadebaşı Tıp Merkezi
Patients at Şehzadebaşı Tıp Merkezi report severe appointment mismanagement and disrespectful treatment. Reviewers describe being unable to secure appointments despite repeated attempts, with one noting that slots are "always full" even when arriving at the advertised opening time. Additionally, a reviewer in the gynaecology department stated the doctor "showed no interest during the examination" and "didn't answer our questions," while another complained of being left waiting for hours in audiology while a staff member kept "locking the room and leaving."
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 Şehzadebaşı 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 Şehzadebaşı Tıp Merkezi's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"The lady in the audiology department started her shift and keeps locking the room and leaving. We've been waiting for hours. She let in a citizen who wasn't on the waiting list and hadn't even been called. Out of respect, no one says anything, but it's unacceptable to let in a citizen who isn't on t"

"This gynecologist absolutely doesn't know how to treat people! She looked down on us, showed no interest during the examination, and didn't answer our questions. I don't recommend her at all. In fact, I demand an investigation!! She studied for years but hasn't become a decent human being!"
