What patients report about ZEYNEP KARAKOÇ ŞEN
Reviewers report that the clinic is not fully equipped, with patients being asked to undergo necessary tests at another facility. Multiple complaints highlight failed or incomplete orthodontic treatment, with one patient stating they were left needing further care because "Zeynep Hanım couldn't do anything she said would work." Another reviewer described being "completely dissatisfied" and suffering physical discomfort, noting "my tongue was constantly being cut with your poorly pri" (likely referring to poorly finished aligners or appliances).
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 ZEYNEP KARAKOÇ ŞEN 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 ZEYNEP KARAKOÇ ŞEN's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.
