What patients report about Kuzey Diş
Patients at Kuzey Diş report severe unreliability and poor communication, with multiple reviewers describing last-minute cancellations and being ignored when trying to contact the clinic by phone. Several reviewers also accuse the clinic of changing the agreed treatment plan and charging for additional, unplanned procedures, with one reviewer stating they were charged for "both the filling and the root canal" after being told the root canal would only be done if necessary.
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 Kuzey Diş 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 Kuzey Diş's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"This is a clinic that treats its patients like dogs, sending away patients who are 10 minutes late without performing any treatment because they won't be able to see the next patient, yet they themselves call patients in haphazardly, making you wait, and when you complain, they sulk and say, "Let's "

"I went there for my broken filling. First, they said they'd do a filling, and if it caused pain, they'd do a root canal. When it did cause pain, they charged me for both the filling and the root canal. Even the root canal treatment they did caused pain. I would never recommend them."
