Aggregate rating across third-party platforms (Google Business, Doctolib, surgical directory listings). This page summarizes the themes patients consistently raise — rather than reproducing individual reviews, which we don't display on our website for the privacy reasons explained below.
We do not republish individual patient reviews on this website, even with consent. Patient reviews on third-party platforms (Google, Doctolib, etc.) are appropriate because the patient controls and can edit their own post. Reviews republished by the clinic on its own marketing site are easily curated, edited, or fabricated — which makes them less trustworthy, not more. We'd rather you read patient feedback at the source.
Independent platforms where patients have posted reviews of Dr. Erdal's practice include:
Reading across published reviews, the recurring positive themes are:
Patients consistently note that questions get answered in detail, that follow-up messages are returned, and that there's no high-pressure sales communication. The surgeon personally responds to international consultations rather than delegating to a coordinator.
Reviews repeatedly mention surprise at being told what the operation cannot achieve, alongside what it can. Patients report appreciating being told "no, this technique won't suit you" or "you should wait until [event]" rather than being agreed with for the sake of booking.
The continuous post-op contact — WhatsApp access, photo follow-ups, video review at milestones — is the most-mentioned aspect of post-surgical care in published feedback. Several reviews note questions answered the same evening, on weekends, on holidays.
Patients who post reviews after their 12-month follow-up describe outcomes that match what was discussed pre-op — not over-promised, not under-delivered. Scars at 12 months consistently described as much less visible than feared in early healing.
The clinic in Şişli is described as professional, calm, and not feeling like a high-volume "clinic-mill." The surgical team and post-op nurses are mentioned by name in many reviews — a sign that staff turnover is low and patient relationships develop.
