This review is about my experience with Dr Mehmet Demircioglu of Diamond hair clinic and I how I arrived at choosing Diamond hair clinic, pardon me for it being very long to read however since I wanted to make it easy for future hair transplant candidates to choose from right clinic, I have tried capturing as much details as possible to choose from hundreds of hair transplant clinics that are there in Istanbul. I would focus on most critical parts of procedure and operational process around it to ensure comfort when going through surgery at foreign land most probably you have visited for first time. To start with I had an idea that Istanbul is hub for availability of hair transplant and cost effective through discussions with friends, when I started searching through web for hair transplant clinics in Istanbul their are hundreds of them comes up and most of them have very high rate of positive reviews and its really difficult to shortlist on which are top and trusty worthy clinics, reading through some of low rated reviews it was evident that their are many clinics where end to end surgery done by technicians and the surgeon was either there for name sake or just there on paper, most of the clinics offered english translator, Before going any further I had listed down my requirement as following 1.Clinic with good reviews 2.Dr took responsibility for end to end procedure and present through the process 3. Dr Spoke in English and explained every step 4. Dr made incisions which is most critical part of transplant 5. Provides end to end package. 6. Dr/Clinic is credited with credible international body, 7. Post care commitment. I had contacted several clinics and received response and price quote based on pictures I have sent, I was surprised to see many of those responses to be just mention of price and number of grafts they recommend to transplant, one that caught my eye was response from Diamond hair clinic which appeared very professional (more like medical analysis report) looking at I was sure that Dr Mehmet Demircioglu had looked in to every detail of my baldness and donar area based on which he had drawn possible new hairline and distribution of 6500 grafts between front area, mid area and crown area with Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant technique, I was convinced need of having higher number of grafts due to very thin hair density. However all other clinics recommended 3000-4000 grafts without giving much rationale, other striking factors were that Dr Mehmet Demircioglu did one procedure per day and apart from being FUE accredited he spoke excellent English, I cannot imagine a situation where I have to go through translator to understand what is happening over my head under anaesthesia . Once I had finalised on Diamond hair clinic communicated my intent to get hair transplant with them, I got the available dates and I needed to just show copy of my flight bookings to get the dates reserved whereas many other clinics ask for deposit of several hundred Euro/Dollar.Since I wanted to get hair transplant done soon Dr Mehmet Demircioglu and team were kind enough to agree to do the procedure on Sunday otherwise typically Sundays are holiday. My Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant procedure was booked for 18th October 2020 and I arrived in Istanbul on 17th October, Driver was waiting for me outside Istanbul airport here I need to mention about transport guy Emir who works with Dr Dr Mehmet Demircioglu is very professional and communicates step by step details with you on WhatsApp throughout the entire transportation until you leave the Istanbul to Home, he dropped me from airport to Elite World Istanbul hotel which is decent hotel to stay which is in good location. On Operation day Driver took me from Hotel to Diamond hair clinic here I met Dr Dr Mehmet Demircioglu and his team for the first time, he is very professional person with friendly approach towards patient, it does not take much time for all concerns in your mind to go away and get settled, once you are comfortable Dr Dr Mehmet Demircioglu takes you through summary of procedures lined up for the day and starts with hair line design he doesn’t rush through the process rather draws and reviews until one is satisfied after which he uses permanent marker to finalise it took around 40 minutes, he takes time to explain details of procedure and what Is going to happen. Phase 1 of procedure hair follicles extraction from marked donor area is explained by Dr Dr Mehmet Demircioglu to his nurses and also explained to me on what will happen throughout extraction process, one need lay on stomach for this entire procedure as hair needs to be extracted from back of the head, nurses prepare for anaesthesia with needle-less anaesthesia device, even after that you will slight discomfort and pain during injection, I cannot imagine how it will be without the contactless anaesthesia, for about 4 hours nurses extracted 6500 grafts, Dr Mehmet Demircioglu every now and then updated on what percentage of extraction is complete, post extraction procedure he had already arranged for lunch break with rich meal. Throughout the extraction procedure one can take bio breaks by informing nurses or doctor. Phase2 of procedure Incisions, this is the most critical process of the procedure where thousands of micro incisions are made on your head hence it must be done by safe qualified hands, Dr Mehmet Demircioglu hair transplant surgeon made incisions with the sapphire blade and he engages with you constantly with several topics related to transplant, it took about four hour doctor to complete the process which was completed without any pain or discomfort. Phase3 of procedure is Implantation the most laborious and time consuming part, here two nurses relentlessly implanted extracted hair one by one and Dr Mehmet Demircioglu was present and constantly reviewing the progress and updated me on how much is left, implant finished for me around 3.30 AM next day morning and you can see Dr Mehmet Demircioglu even at so late their was no rush he calmly explains steps to be taken care post operation including taking utmost care of implanted area. Next day 19th October rested at hotel and later in the afternoon Emir took care of taking to airport for Covid test which is needed for return journey, same day Dr Mehmet Demircioglu was waiting for me around 9.00 PM at clinic for 1st wash he waked me through wash process since one need to repeat the same process for next 9 days, I had to get the wash done on next day of transplant since I had early morning return flight day after. I would like to highlight the post consultation commitment of Dr Mehmet Demircioglu he shares his number directly with patient and reviews progress and issues for next ten days any concerns or issues he clarifies immediately, so far its 3 weeks and Dr Mehmet Demircioglu is in touch with me and from now onwards he will review the progress on weekly basis for next one and half years that’s astonishing and worth the money you pay him. To summarise my experience with Dr Mehmet Demircioglu and Diamond hair clinic was they not only checked all my requirements but also executed all of them to my complete satisfaction, based on my conversation with Dr Mehmet Demircioglu its evident that he is passionate about providing good look to his patients, he prefers quality over quantity and expects money to be by product of his work than money being primary goal, I would recommend Dr Mehmet Demircioglu to my friends and family as he is very professional and trustworthy who delivers according to his commitments made during consultation. My last words are with Dr Mehmet Demircioglu you are in safe hands no need to worry at all when going from a different part of the world.
