How to vet a Turkey clinic — the 5 questions
Question 1
"Will the surgeon actually perform my extractions?"
If the answer is "the doctor supervises" — that's a tech-led mill. We only list clinics where the named surgeon does the work.
Question 2
"What are your surgical credentials?"
Look for board certification + memberships in international hair-restoration societies. We surface this in your match results.
Question 3
"How many cases per day does the surgeon do?"
Anything over 4 cases/day means assembly line. Top surgeons do 1–2 max.
Question 4
"Show me 12-month-out photos of patients with my Norwood stage."
Mill clinics only show 6-month results because density drops at 12 months. Reputable clinics have nothing to hide.
Question 5
"What's your revision/touch-up policy?"
Confident surgeons offer free or discounted touch-ups. No-policy = "we don't expect to see you again."
Skip the vetting. We've already done it.
Our matcher only surfaces doctor-led, surgeon-performed Turkey clinics. No mills, no surprises.

How long is the trip?+
Day 1: arrive, consultation. Day 2: surgery. Day 3: bandage removal + post-op. Day 4: fly home. Most packages cover 3–4 nights.
Will my flight be covered?+
No — flights are on you. Round-trip from major US cities is typically $700–$1,200. Even with the flight, total cost is 50–60% less than US.
What about post-op care once I'm home?+
Reputable clinics provide a 12-month WhatsApp/video follow-up schedule and a written aftercare protocol. Listed in your match results.
