Patient Experiences

A selection of real patient reviews sharing their surgery and treatment experiences.

★★★★★

My husband had a snoring problem, so I researched doctors for him. There are a few good specialists in Ankara, but we decided on Dr. Esin. The hospital she recommended was excellent, the surgery went smoothly and we were discharged the same day. His snoring improved dramatically from day one. My advice to anyone with a snoring problem: don't wait.

I had been following Dr. Esin's work on social media. I had suffered from nosebleeds, congestion, and trouble breathing since childhood but was too afraid to have surgery. When my symptoms became unbearable, I reached out to Dr. Esin and her team. My septorhinoplasty was on May 22nd and I was discharged the same day. From surgery until now I haven't had the slightest pain, and all my complaints are gone. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Esin and her team.

I had a nose surgery 15 years ago at a state hospital, but when my problems recurred I needed a second one. This time I researched thoroughly, and Dr. Esin stood out immediately — her calmness and energy inspire real trust, as if you've known her for years. My surgery was on June 2nd and went very well, my sinusitis was treated at the same time, and I had no pain afterward. I wanted a natural look, and that's exactly what I got. If you're considering nose surgery, you should definitely meet with Dr. Esin.

I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Esin. I was very anxious at our first meeting — I never wanted my nose to look artificial. Dr. Esin understood my concern and reassured me that my nose would look "natural and great," and that's exactly how it turned out. A friend who had surgery after me was equally happy. Her assistant Dilara was also very attentive. Many thanks to Dr. Esin and her team.

I come to Dr. Esin regularly for Botox and I'm very happy. Every friend I've recommended thanks me for introducing them to her. Her guidance and quality of care put me completely at ease, and the clinic always welcomes patients warmly. Many thanks to Dr. Esin and her team.

I met Dr. Esin through a friend's recommendation. We had a first consultation and set a date for my nose surgery that same day. I was afraid of pain, but she told me there was nothing to worry about — and she was right. I had no pain after surgery, and the whole process felt calm and comfortable. I'm very glad our paths crossed with Dr. Esin. Many thanks to everyone.

I found Dr. Esin online and through social media. I had consulted 4-5 other specialists, none of whom could guarantee a solution to my issues — Dr. Esin simply said "I can do it." My problems were a crooked nose, a drooping nasal tip, breathing difficulty, sinusitis and loss of smell. Thankfully, Dr. Esin resolved all of them. My sincere thanks to her and her team.

I had surgery with Dr. Esin on January 21st for both aesthetic and breathing concerns. Her support never wavered before or after surgery — I could reach her at any hour. From the moment I woke up I could breathe like never before, with no pain and barely any bruising or swelling. I'm extremely happy with both the function and the look, and I recommend her without hesitation.

After nearly 20 years of being too afraid to have surgery, a 10-minute conversation with Dr. Esin at her clinic was enough to convince me. With her encouragement, the surgery was a success and gave me a whole new look. During my follow-up visits she gave the same care and attention to my recovery. I've regained both my appearance and my confidence.

I'm 45 and this was my second nose surgery. The first one, at an insurance-covered hospital, didn't turn out the way I wanted. Every other doctor I consulted either called it too risky or failed to reassure me. None gave me the confidence and peace of mind Dr. Esin did. Anyone considering surgery should trust Dr. Esin completely — my sister had surgery with her too and we're both thrilled. No pain at all, and special thanks to Dilara and Ayşegül.
