Cannot advise avoiding him enough. This so-called clinic is money hungry and in my view has no care for patients, I don't understand why I ever expected otherwise frankly. I flew into istanbul and did all my pre-surgery prep before even having my consultation with the doctor... can you imagine that? blood tests, anesthesia assessment, ALL that before even seeing the doctor FOR THE FIRST TIME? That tells you where the doctor's head is at, they absolutely want you to get something done. Good medical practice obviously would be meeting the patient and discussing things with them prior to doing any kind of surgery prep... not for Dr Atsal. The teams prep you for surgery first and only then does the doctor consult with you. As I've found out this is routinely how they deal with all patients. Can you imagine the kind of pressure that adds onto a patient? definitely tells you how much the doctor cares about doing the right thing for you...which is that he doesn't, he just wants you to pay up. What good doctor put surgery prep BEFORE a consult? When it came to a consultation mine lasted 10 mins max and it took place in a hospital bed with me wearing a hospital robe...Again tells you where the doctor's head is at doesn't it? Have you ever heard of someone having a consultation in a hospital bed? in a robe? its insanity! Literally right after those 10 minutes were up I went directly to surgery. No reflection time at all, you are a quick buck to these people and nothing more. Noone including the doctor treats surgery like the serious decision that it is... I went to discuss getting my nose done and even after I told the doctor many times I wasn't sure about doing my nose and kept on saying no to morphs that the staff kept on showing... they kept on showing me more and more morphs... endlessly. After i semi-settled on one the doctor didn't explain anything at all regarding the morph and what it involved. I asked about my nostrils and only after i asked him did I find out he wanted to perform an alarplasty...its NOT up to the patient to understand procedures! the doctor should explain them in detail AND leave room for reflection. I said no to the alarplasty (I don't want small michael jackson nostrils!) and was never shown an updated morph of my nose to help me better understand what I would look like. So now i have massive flared nostrils and dealing with a major lack of projection.... The doctor also lowered my bridge which i NEVER asked for. This also WASNT WHAT THE MORPH SHOWED. He also did a turbinate reduction that was never discussed in consult...once again a great doctor all around! I wish i never did my nose, literally the second i woke up from surgery i KNEW it was a mistake. I cried my entire first night in the hospital. But of course I payed up so they got what they wanted...now its up to me to pick up the pieces...I tried to stay positive in the beginning esp when they said it was all just swelling but i can tell you this mistake haunts me everyday. If you go to a doctor please go to one who understands the importance of reflection time, the importance of properly explaining procedures and a doctor who doesn't rush you into doing something as serious as surgery on your FACE. You need a doctor with a human touch, in my opinion this is not at all the case with Dr Atsal OR his team. The doctor also advertised free revisions on his instagram but once again that was also a lie....Why wouldn't it be? its a business and you a product to them and nothing more. I can go on and on and on, please avoid. Dr atsal nor his staff are the right people for you. My nose looks awful and my mental health is awful too. I've lost so much of myself after this. Edit: I said I liked my results AFTER you said it was just swelling and I decided to trust you. Now that I’m a year post op I can see it’s not swelling and it’s a bad result…I couldn’t even see how low my bridge was because of how swollen I was! I never left a good comment ever, this is the first time I’m using trustpilot, so this is a lie. I’ve also been notified earlier today you reported my review AFTER you threatened me into deleting it yesteday….Awful business with awful practices. So everyone knows this is how the gorkem atsal clinic operates behind closed doors- will threaten you into deleting your bad review and if you don’t they’ll straight up report it to keep it off the site. Anyway, what would be worth mentioning would be when I told you about my awful experience you told me you know how to run a clinic and don’t need me to give you any feedback….I’m your patient and that’s how you treat us? If you’re a potential new patient, AVOID. My experience during AND post says it all. And yes I have mental health issues…FROM YOU and this experience! Once again, AVOID! Also NO I asked for a refund PERIOD - I never asked for one to erase my comment. That’s why its STILL HERE.

Hello, thank you for leaving a feedback to us, all of them is very valuable for us to improve our customer services. We would like to make some issues clear to not cause misunderstanding, firstly, you had rhinoplasty surgery with us and there was either no functional or physical problem. You mentioned that you wanted to have your original nose back, we said its up to despite the result of simulation has been achieved by surgery and the operation is so successful. You kept requesting and we approved. When you come here, one of your relative -because of the personal data security we do not want to mention the name or who was the person- called us and demanding to not perform any surgery with valid reasons. We listened and we did not perform, however, you became so mean and without even paying the extra services (accommodation and transfer), you left the country with threats. All these claims can be supported by evidences. Moreover, you requested refund to delete your comments, which is very upsetting because we are always behind of our work, as you said, if there is a functional problem, we have revision policies. We are inviting all of our patients to share their genuine experience to not spread wrong informations about us.

My overall experience was very good starting from travelling to Istanbul and back to UK. My assistant was Hilal and she has been proved a great asset to me in this journey. The whole team was very nice. They took care of me very well. I struggled a little bit with language because not everyone in the medical can speak English but they do understand you very well so one can manage for a night in hospital. I am waiting to see my final results.

My experience at this hospital was fantastic. I went for breast implants and up lift and what a outstanding job the doctor did. My full experience was organised by yasemain she did a fantastic job she's a lady that actually cares about the patients from start to finish. If your think of going to Turkey for any treatment please get in touch with her she's fantastic. Overall my experience was 10 /10 .

I can't evaluate the results now, but I will come back in another 6 months 🇸🇪 Yes, I waited six months to see the results and evaluate the work! However, unfortunately, the results were not good. I had a facelift surgery as well as a procedure under the eyes, but there is excess sagging of the skin under the eyes, and I was not satisfied with the result. Nevertheless, the team was good and the doctor was kind, but unfortunately, the results were not as expected.

I had rhinoplasty on the 20th April, I can honestly say Dr Görkem is a great doctor. He was so kind and welcoming when I first met him at his office, it really put me at ease. Dr Görkem was so attentive and listened to exactly what I wanted but also gave his professional opinion on what he thought would suit my face aesthetically - natural and enhancing my features. I’m only a week post op but I am really happy with my results, Dr Görkem has given me a new found confidence, which I am so grateful for! The team were all so lovely, but I have a special place in my heart for Gülce. Nothing was ever too much trouble, I was always met with kindness and reassurance! If there was ever an issue, she was always at hand to help. She was absolutely the best🤍 Also a special mention to our chauffeur Mesut. What a lovely, lovely man! So kind and made such a big effort to make me feel welcome and getting to know me on a personal level. Please see that he gets the recognition for being such a memorable part of my trip! An absolute pleasure to have known him! I definitely recommend Dr Görkem to anyone looking to get rhinoplasty!

Dr Gorkem and his team are excellent, they go above and beyond to provide the very best service. Dr Gorkem is a very knowledgeable and skilled surgeon and I felt very safe in his hand. I’am very happy with my Chin Liposuction he performed for me, and would definitely recommend this procedure with Dr Gorkem Atsal Clinic to anyone who was thinking of having this treatment carried out in Turkey. The kindness and support was there 24/7 not only from Dr Gorkem himself but also his very helpful assistance team. I hold a very special place in my heart for Nilsu in particular, as she is simply the best, so kind, so caring, reassuring and informative. Being picked up from the airport and being chauffeured to and from the hospital etc, which is all included in the price, is also a fantastic part of their service. Plus having one of the assistants with you to greet you, answer any questions and interpret was so valuable, it made me feel not alone. Dr Gorkem Atsal Clinic also arranged dentistry for me as well while I was there, and they took me to a top quality Zirconia Crown Dental Specialist who made and fitted me the most amazing new teeth and smile, very happy and proud to show off my new smile 😁
