How to choose a hair transplant clinic in Turkey
Check the license and accreditation. Ask for the certificates and check them with the body that issued them. JCI status can be looked up in JCI's directory.
Read the reviews yourself. Open the Google and Trustpilot pages linked above and read the recent and the negative reviews, not just the score.
Get the quote in writing. It should say who treats you, what is included, how long you stay and what happens if there is a complication.
Plan follow-up at home. The CDC advises arranging follow-up care in the U.S. and travel insurance that covers medical evacuation before you go.
Checking a clinic in Turkey: Every private hospital and clinic in Turkey is licensed by the Ministry of Health, and facilities that treat foreign patients also need the Ministry's health-tourism authorization certificate. JCI accreditation is voluntary: ask for the certificate and check the hospital in the JCI directory.
Who performs a hair transplant: Turkish rules allow certified non-physician assistants to harvest grafts, while the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery says that only licensed physicians should. Ask every clinic who does each step. Questions to ask, from our cost guide →
