This is a testimonial of a patient operated in a clinic in Turkey. As the patient mentions, although the clinic he went to was highly advertised on the internet and promised him excellent results, he did not see any doctors during his operation. This story tells us that, although there are excellent hair transplant surgeons and clinics in Turkey, there are also unethical surgeons and fraudulent clinics, so it is very important that patients do thorough research first on which doctor is going to operate on them.
