What patients report about Marinadiş
Patients at this clinic report that treatment is frequently left incomplete or dragged on without resolution, with one reviewer stating their root canal was "never completed" despite repeated visits. Another key issue is a lack of consent and unexpected charges, as one reviewer noted their "consent was not obtained for additional procedures, and a fee was charged." Reviewers also describe being dismissed mid-treatment, with one patient reporting they were "kicked out" after a filling 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 Marinadiş 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 Marinadiş's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It was just a 5-minute filling, but Dr. Atalay kicked me out saying he couldn't help me. It's a private clinic set up purely for money; they think they're something special but they're nothing. They don't even know what being a doctor is."

"First of all, this is a general piece of advice, not just for those here but for all readers: don't go there, especially not to places that advertise implants and veneers. Also, don't go to any doctor who doesn't prioritize academic excellence. Instead of treating a problem that another doctor could"

"I went to this clinic for about 1.5 months for my number 36 tooth. Root canal treatment was started, the tooth was opened and medication was applied repeatedly, but the treatment was never completed.
