Surgeon — named
FLAGGED
with a caveat Measured · 82%
M1 · Facility & health-tourism licence 2 · 20%
UNVERIFIED As a facilitator it claims a MoH health-tourism authorization cert (No. AK-0195) plus a MoH logo, TÜRSAB, ISO and a WhatClinic award, but JCI comes only indirectly via partner hospitals, so its own accreditation is thin and the score sits low. source ↗
M2 · Operating surgeon named + verifiable 4 · 22%
UNVERIFIED Dr. Zafer Çetinkaya is named ('Surgical Team Lead', hair-restoration since 2014), but no board or society is listed and there is no ISHRS, IAHRS or ABHRS match, so who operates is named yet not directory-confirmed. source ↗
M3 · Technique disclosure 3 · 10%
UNVERIFIED Sapphire FUE, DHI, ICE FUE and hybrid plus PRP and stem-cell are described with moderate detail, but the technician-vs-surgeon split is not spelled out, holding it at mid-band. source ↗
M4 · Claim / graft honesty 2 · 14%
UNVERIFIED Red-flag framing — the 'maximum number of grafts necessary', a 'Fixed-Price Guarantee' (soft-unlimited) and a post-op results 'guarantee' — pulls the score low. source ↗
M5 · Price transparency 5 · 8%
UNVERIFIED Prices are published — Main FUE/DHI €3,395, Stem Cell €4,595 and Premium €6,595, with per-graft €0.65–0.95 — giving full price transparency. source ↗
M6 · Aftercare & revision policy 4 · 8%
UNVERIFIED One-year WhatsApp specialist follow-up, an aftercare kit and a post-op results guarantee with 'free revisions' if unsatisfied are offered, but there is no graft-survival percentage contract, keeping it below top. source ↗
Editorial · 18%
E1 · Professional corroboration 2 · 6%
UNVERIFIED editorial — No ISHRS, ABHRS, IAHRS or FUE-Europe standing is shown for the clinic or Çetinkaya — only TÜRSAB, ISO and MoH — so there is no hair-restoration surgical society and corroboration is low. source ↗
E2 · International-patient path 4 · 6%
UNVERIFIED editorial — The site runs EN/FR/ES/IT with translators and multilingual coordinators, 24/7 support, transfers, accommodation, remote intake and 1-year follow-up, but no written consent detail, keeping it below top. source ↗
E3 · Operator transparency 2 · 6%
UNVERIFIED editorial — It presents as a facilitator/intermediary rather than a hospital, and while partner hospitals Erdem and Ataköy are named, no legal-entity company name or trade-registry number is given, holding the score low. source ↗

What this register does NOT measure We do not rate the result of a transplant, a surgeon's skill, graft survival, complications or "who's better". We verify structural facts: the health-tourism authorization, the operating surgeon, the technique, the claims, the prices, the aftercare — and where something is unconfirmed, we say so.
