Assoc. Prof. Andaç AYKAN Avis 

I believe that the professionalism of a healthcare institution should be measured not only by the services it provides to its patients, but also by how it treats its employees.

During my time working in sales at this clinic, I did not receive the salary we had agreed upon. Furthermore, I discovered that my employment had not been registered with the Turkish Social Security Institution (SGK). I have since taken legal action regarding these matters, and the legal process is ongoing.

Throughout my experience, I developed serious concerns regarding staff turnover, heavy workloads, and management’s approach toward employees. These experiences led me to question the institution’s internal stability and working environment.

I strongly believe that there should be consistency between the professional image an institution presents to the public and the workplace culture it maintains behind the scenes. Unfortunately, based on my personal experience, I did not find that consistency here.

I am sharing this review solely to reflect my personal working experience.

Institutional trust is built not only on promises made to clients, but also on responsibilities fulfilled toward employees.
I encourage everyone to carefully research their options before choosing a workplace or a healthcare provider, and to make an informed decision.

Great and professional work done .

Extremely distressing experience – multiple surgeries, no improvement, photos used without consent

I am writing this review to warn others and to share my genuine experience with Doç. Dr. Andaç Aykan and his clinic in Istanbul.

I travelled to Turkey and paid a total of £9000 for multiple facial procedures including endoscopic temporal lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, fat transfer and related procedures. I was promised clear improvements and a more lifted, defined result.

Unfortunately, after five surgeries, there has been no visible improvement. Other qualified doctors have since reviewed my case and confirmed that the expected surgical changes are not present.

When I raised my concerns, the clinic became defensive, stopped engaging properly and ultimately refused any refund or corrective action. Their only response was that the “treatment was completed as required”.

To make matters worse, my before/after photos were posted on their social media without my consent, despite me clearly stating that I did not agree to my images being shared. When I confronted them, I was told they “liked the result and wanted to show it”.

I later travelled to Istanbul to request my medical records in person. Instead of cooperating, the clinic called the police and had me removed.

I have since been blocked from their platforms and my negative reviews and comments were removed.

This experience has caused me significant emotional distress, financial hardship and loss of confidence. I took out a loan to pay for these surgeries and am now left with debt and no improvement.

I strongly advise anyone considering this clinic to do very thorough independent research and seek multiple opinions before proceeding.

I am happy to provide evidence of payments, messages and medical opinions to any platform that requires verification.
