What patients report about Yeşiltepe Polikliniği
Patients at Yeşiltepe Polikliniği report significant issues with unprofessional and rude staff, with one reviewer describing a "male staff member at the reception desk was extremely rude, indifferent, and unprofessional." Another recurring problem is a lack of transparent or fixed pricing, as reviewers state "they don't have fixed prices; they charge whatever they want" and that the clinic "constantly change the price." Furthermore, a reviewer reports a serious clinical failure, claiming they "lost two teeth as a result of the root canal treatment" received there.
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 Yeşiltepe 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 Yeşiltepe Polikliniği's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Good day, at 17:20, the consultant at your clinic did not know how to speak to patients and their relatives, and I did not like their attitude at all. I spoke to them first when we entered the clinic and left because of their behavior. You may lose patients because of this kind of behavior."

"On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, I went to get my health report. When I first entered, they said "Welcome," and asked how they could help me. The person at the reception desk took my ID, registered me, and then left me to deal with them directly. They said, "Go downstairs, someone will help you there."
