What patients report about İlayda Kurban Gürsel
Patients report significant problems with appointment scheduling and availability, with one reviewer noting that due to "high demand," an urgent root canal was scheduled for 20 days later. Another reviewer described the female dentist’s "attitude" as unprofessional, while a third complained of a rushed examination where the doctor "just looked inside our child's mouth for two minutes." Poor communication and disorganisation are also recurring issues, with reviewers citing unanswered phone calls, incorrect location details on navigation, and being made to wait despite having a booked appointment.
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 İlayda Kurban Gürsel 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 İlayda Kurban Gürsel's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"First of all, it's great that such a clinic has opened in Ortaca, but nobody should have to put up with the attitude of the female dentist there; you need to keep your professional life separate from your personal demeanor. On our first visit, Dentist İrfan Bey's approach was good, but the woman who"

"When we arrived, Ms. Esra wasn't there; her husband was. He stated that due to high demand, he could only schedule an appointment for my daughter's urgent root canal treatment in 20 days, and then politely refused to treat her, referring us to another doctor. We were forced to handle the treatment i"

"I was told Dr. Bey leaves at 5 PM, but I was given an appointment for 4:30 PM. When I finally arrived, I was told we had to wait an hour. I didn't like their system. When you go in with pain, the problem should be solved. Apparently, they only do an examination first. It's the first time I've witnes"

"I went there using navigation, but the location was wrong. I had to ask for directions and finally found it. I'm trying to call, but no one is answering the phone. Even though I had an appointment, they said I would have to wait at least an hour. First, they said they would only do the examination, "

"We went there on recommendation, but I think we happened to catch the doctor on a bad day. He just looked inside our child's mouth for two minutes while we were standing, and we paid the examination fee.
