I recently visited diamond hair clinic about 2 weeks ago and I couldn’t have been more satisfied with the professionalism from the moment I arrived in Istanbul to the moment i left. After an extensive weeks of research into all possible hair transplant options, looking at cheaper hair mills and high end clinics, I decided to go with dr. Mehmet Demircioglu at diamond hair clinic and I messaged his clinic on WhatsApp. Originally I was looking at now hair time, but after examining their packages I started to question why they were including things like city tours. I’ve never heard of doctors doing this type of thing and after further research I learned that that clinic was a hair mill which pumps out many more than one patient a day to maximize profits rather than engaging in more a more patient centered approach which was the opposite of what I was looking for. I messaged them on July 4th and sent some pictures they asked for as well as answered a short list of questions regarding typical medical stuff as well as additional info about my hair loss. I did not hear back from the clinic until the 11th, when I had asked to follow up on appointment date. They told me at times the doctor can be busy and isn’t able to assess patients in time and that I should wait a little longer for a quote. After a few days passed and I didn’t hear back I decided to just move on and find another doctor in Turkey to work with. During this time I found what I thought was another reputable clinic in get new hair ran by Kayihan Sahinoglu. I messaged them that I was interested in a hair transplant, send them a few pictures of my head and they had my quote ready the next day and I had booked a flight and secured the hotel the following day. Sure enough a few days after that I was reached back out to by diamond hair clinic followed by a comprehensive list of my price quote of 6,100 euros, the number of grafts needed, how many days I would need to stay, where I would be staying (accommodated in the price quote already)tons of information and articles regarding the operating doctor, tons of pictures of other clients journeys in his care and I was stunned. So stunned, I immediately messaged the other clinic to cancel my appointment, called the hotel to cancel my reservation, and changed my flight to my new appointment which was about 2 months out from the quote date with dr. Demircioglu. When I arrived in Istanbul I was greeted at the airport by a driver who comfortably transported me to my hotel. In the morning of the surgery I had a delicious breakfast at the hotel and was picked up by my driver right after. It was about a 10 minute ride to the hair clinic and I was greeted by staff and within a few minutes I was sat down with dr. Mehmet in his office. It was very comforting to know I was going to be his only client for the day. We discussed the procedure, the after care, and any other questions I had regarding the operation. Once I was satisfied with the answers we then began to shave my head and draw my new hairline. Dr. Demircioglu was very engaging throughout the process constantly checking with and showing me what he was doing and asking if I was content with it. Then we began the procedure which lasted about 6-7 hours with a provided lunch break in between. Slight discomfort at first but once the anesthesia kicked in I could not feel any pain and went to sleep soon thereafter for at least a couple hours during the session. After the surgery I was given all of my meds, shampoos and a neck pillow, an extra neck pillow and was picked up by my driver who was already waiting for me outside to take back to my hotel. The next day and a half while staying in the hotel I did not experience much pain when the anesthesia wore off it was just much more of an uncomfortable process with trying to nap or sleep because of how I was instructed to keep the neck pillow on basically at all times and had to find a way to prop my head up with the neck pillow and the hotel pillows as to not allow anything to touch my head and to keep my head in an upright position. I was told I would be picked up in two days for the first wash process and once the that day came my driver picked me up on time and took me back to the clinic. Dr. Demircioglu was waiting for me outside and escorted me in, took off my bandages, inspected my head, and we began the wash process. He then carefully explained to me more in depth about my at home care process and gave me his personal number to reach him at any time with questions (which I did). I had a response from him usually within 1 to 5 hours which was surprising to me at times because of the 7 hour time difference between Turkey and the east coast of America. I spent about the next week pretty much exclusively at home and I’m fortunate enough to have a movable bed so I found sleeping much easier at home but for a few days the itchiness got really bad to the point where I messages the doctor to ask if it was normal and he messaged back within about 5 minutes that it was part of the healing process and even included a video about how they inject the anesthetic into certain areas and it was those same areas that I was most itchy so I knew nothing was out of the ordinary. It was also pleasing to see that even though I had already paid for the surgery almost 2 weeks ago and was not even in the same country anymore, I was still being treated as though I was siting in the examination room with him. I could not recommend this clinic and dr. Demircioglus professionalism and hands on care any more and highly encourage anyone looking into hair transplants to look no further because this is the only place you should be considering.
